2022-23 Cup of Russia - Stage 4 - Moscow

Liza is watching the final group behind the judges.

Ilya put ice on his knee in the green room. He had a surgery on it in the summer.

I don’t think they are retaining or recruiting talent lately, and that’s a good thing given their methods.

Speaking of no-shows in the competitions. Does anyone know if Kolesnikov is still in Russia?

yeah he is with Svetlana Sokolovskaya, he got injured during the summer. He did tend the 1st stage in moscow as a spectator.

Eteri certainly still has good athletes but she has nowhere near the dominance of past years.

This becomes particularly obvious when looking at (older) novices. They are actively recruiting skaters from other groups (particularly from Bulycheva, as always), but many are choosing to not go to Team Tut anymore. Looking at the podiums of some notable novice competitions, there are now many different coaching groups regularly beating skaters from Eteri's group.

That’s true

They had bunch of new Novices join them at the end of last season. We just haven't seen most of them compete at all for some reason.

 

[EdgeCall]

Wow! A bit wild but very well done!

Great skate from Semenenko. Now take that dye out of your hair immediately.

 

[LadyB]

Good to see Zhenya back, what a super expressive skater!!!

Not really, but he likes the paint judging from exhibitions. If he’sshaving fun, it’s all good.

this music might not be my cup of tea, but i liked the performance and i like Zhenya so...

 

[AlexBreeze]

He has done it! He missed so much ice time, I can't believe in such skate. Of course, he isn't fully recovered.

Liza had a lyrical FS, so Zhenya did her job.

 

[elektra blue]

i have to admit this teen drama vampire look suits him

 

[LadyB]

Wow! A bit wild but very well done!

It can never be too wild, if you do it like Zhenya.
