2023 Russian Nationals among Boys and Girls (Older Age)

Oh no Valeria this is the worst ive seen her do in ages

Tasiya K has grown so much, her 2A is huge Not the skate she wanted but she is only now coming back from injury I dont understand why they decided to backload all combos

A league would be a smart idea or make the Russian cup series worth staying in the sports for even without international starts.

Skaters in Russia are already way more supported than in other countries, even those that never make it out of Russia.

The issue is that skaters that would usually not be competing domestically are now having to do so and taking spots from the second and third-tier skaters. I'm not sure how that problem can be solved (Maybe more entries per Russian GP stage? Prize money for more than just the podium?), but it does have to be talked about.

Also, Russia would do well to establish college/university skating more, like in for example Korea and Japan, where many skaters continue skating through college because their skating is funded by the universities.

But still not enough to have motivation to stay for long.

I think they could create competitions/league of different tiers. I missed the usual Cup Final where lesser-known athletes could medal.

Better than younger age Nats, all her jumps looked clean. Her axis sometimes (like on the loop) scares me though.

I will not forget this girl Margarita. That was absolutely incredible. I'm totally blown away by that.

 

[JimR]

Sadkova is on. Wow.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

So I took couple of pain killer for my headache and ended up falling a sleep during the ice resurfacing prior to the last group dont regret it tho cause I feel lot better now

The final group was so good everyone did so well!
Margo and Lena are obviously so so talented, we already knew what they were capable of but Dasha omg I was not expecting this from her well done

I honestly think Alena not going for quads was smart as she with a clean 7 triple skate was in prime position to pick up a spot on the podium if any of the 3 top girls has a bad skate which none did so she ended up in 4th but still a superb skate from her.
