2022-23 Cup of Russia - Final - St. Petersburg

[JimR]

That was electrifying. The standard was so high.

Guliakova switched to Mishin at the age of 16.

And he didn't work the miracle of fixing her technique, though it seems like he can do that, given the usual comments.

Reserve
Alina G.
Veronika Yamatova
Kseniia S

Nika isnt eligible for senior team she hasnt competed in any senior competition this season just like Sofia A was on the junior team this season as she didn't compete in senior nats last season.

I think
Sofia A & M
Adeliya
Liza
Nastya Z
Possibly kami but if not then Alina G

Reserves
Veronika Y
Ksenia S
Alina G If she isnt in main team and if she is then Ksenia G unless either Sasha or Anna are serious about coming back

 

[LadyB]

I think Alina may be included to the main junior team and someone else gets reserve.

Lakernyk dragged himself out of his coffin i see

It's Lakernik, but close enough.

In terms of overall rankings next season and I have no doubt Kamila skates because she's a protected person according to the WADA code, but in terms of overall rankings I would put:

1. Akatieva
2. Kamila
3. Petrosian
4. Zhilina
5. Muravieva
6. Tuktik

Zhilina is eligible for senior nationals right?

 

[LadyB]

Ah, Pavel, very dapper!

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Yasmina i Valeriy!!!!!

 

[yume]

Moskvina between these two giants

 

[Pairluv]

On other boards, people are bemoaning the decline in pair skating--which was bad at the GPs, Euros and 4CC. But, without the Russians and Chinese elite teams, this is what it's always been.

[yume]

It starts well.
Russian pairs are another league.
