The Angels have been appearing in the Nutcracker show in Moscow that is running from 30th December to 5th January (with a day off on 1st January).

It's an absolutely amazing show and the Angels look to be really enjoying themselves. :)

There's also the Cinderella show at St Petersburg, which runs from 2nd to 5th January, where coaches Yulia Lipnitskaya and Dima Mikhailov are playing the main roles :) Sofia Samodurova is the Fairy Godmother I think!

Congratulations to everyone in both shows. 👼

I wonder if those Angels of Plushenko masks are going to be worn or if they'll stick with the Louis Vuitton :laugh:

Happy Lunar New Year from the Academy ☺️

In other news I was going to write about the Moscow Junior Championship, then I got the COVID booster and like a wuss I was a bit out of it over the weekend.

Anyway! There was good news and bad news.

Yaroslav Khrulev won the silver medal in the Younger Boys category and will be going to the Russian Novice Nationals :cheer:

There were also five girls from the Academy participating.

In the Older Girls category

Maria Mazur did incredibly well finishing 7th and only just missing out on going to Russian Novice Nationals.

Yulia Zigorenko

She didn't manage to make the final 24, love the SP though! Can't go wrong with Kalinka ☺️


Alena Zhilina (Veronika's sister) who was coming back from an injury and sadly didn't make it through to the final 24. I couldn't find a video of her SP.

In the Younger Girls category

Arina Parsegova

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CZKJq47hQ0d - SP - unfortunately she didn't make it to the final 23.

Sofia Sarnovskaya

https://www.instagram.com/tv/CZKKBiHhPNv - SP

There's no video for her elements section.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CZRe9yDIVs3 - FS - sadly she had some mistakes and ended up out of the top 6. 😔

Right-o, that's all for now. The Russian Cup Final 23rd-27th February is the next big competition for the Academy students. 🤞 for them!

The Academy put out this lovely video about Fedor Numamatov, he's the younger brother of Ilia and has dreams of being an Olympian.



Fedor is coached by Yulia L and her husband.

A number of Angels participated in the Memorial of I S Rusakov this week and it was a great success for them ☺️

Anastasia Zhilina competed in the older girls category to get her Master of Sports Award (this requires getting a +2 on all jumps so no quads were tried) and was successful in both that and winning gold 🥇!

You can find Nastya's SP and FS videos in her fan fest (let me know if you want me to post it in here)

Here's the podium

https://www.instagram.com/p/CbPDAWWj6LJ - The Avocado Stuffies are actually amazing. 🤗

Maria Mazur competed in the younger girls category, she had a bit of trouble in her FS and ended up with the silver 🥈

Here's the podium

https://www.instagram.com/p/CbP5_puMWv9 - They got polar bear stuffies. 🥰

Maria's SP

Maria's FS

Maxim Avtushenko and Nikita Sarnovsky were in the younger boys category.

Maxim won 🥇! This is the first time I've seen him win! He usually has trouble with spins, but he did a 4S (his first in a competition!) and a 2 3As. He finished behind the music so got a 1 point deduction.

Nikita S picked up the silver 🥈 I don't think I've seen him on the podium before either so you go Nikita! He also did a 4T (when did he get one of those?! I must have not been paying attention) and planned 2 3As but popped one.

I couldn't find individual videos but you can watch the frees of the two here (they went back to back: https://youtu.be/tShV5PaAsVg from 8.06:32

For some reason the stream with the SPs was removed from YouTube so no SPs.

The podium

https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQDTm9sL5W - They got shark stuffies! Look how happy Maxim is, heh Nikita has resting serious face like his big bro Kirill.

Speaking of, Kirill and Mark Lukin competed in the older boys category. They had a bit of a rougher time of it, but Kirill got the bronze 🥉and Mark finished 6th.

Kirill had a rather tough event actually with a fall on his 3A in the SP that looked very painful.

Mark L had a much better time in the SP and was 3rd.

No SPs and no individual videos but they conveniently went back to back too so you can see their FS's here: https://youtu.be/tShV5PaAsVg from 9.45:50.

The podium

https://www.instagram.com/p/CbRwipoAsi_ - More shark stuffies and look Kirill is smiling! Whoo!

There is more to come as today is the Sergei Grinkov Memorial where Sofia Titova will be competing. (Kirill S is also listed but it seems unlikely he'd go from one competition straight to another, but who knows.) Fingers crossed for our favourite pirate! 🥰
