2023-24 Russian Women's Figure Skating

[Green Carrots]

There were some info that Sadkova's programs aren't ready now and that's one of the reasons she 's not with juniors. I hope she can compete both senior and junior like Gorbacheva did and like Zhilina is also supposed to do this season. Now, when Russian girls can't get international titles and experience, I think it's better to win all Russian junior events before going senior.

"Liza Kulikova will also go on the adults. We put a new short program on the song "Oj, da ne vecher" performed by Pelageya. The free program -- "If You Go Away" was left". - Svetlana Sokolovskaya said.

It's probably a trend to move up to adult so as not to compete with Bazyluk?

Ksenia Gushchina's choreographer (for one of the new programs) was Aleksandrina Degtyareva, her coach, Kirill Davydenko said in an interview.

"By the way, this year we did not invite choreographers from outside. We did the programs ourselves. First of all, I think we should give way to the young. And I see that the guys can do well, that it is like a challenge for them, because you work with the skaters of the national team, the national team of our city. For example, Aleksandrina Degtyareva made a program to Ksyusha Gushchina. Very good. You'll see," said Kirill Davydenko.

Short program or free skating, he didn't specify.

I want to add from myself personally that Ksenia and Aleksandrina work a lot on the choreography in the programs, especially steps sequence. They get the help of popular Russian choreographers. In my opinion, Ksenia has made great progress in this direction.

Is Gushchina going to be skating for seniors this year?

Is Gushchina going to be skating for seniors this year?

Yes, she is. She intends to continue in the adult category and qualify for RusNat.

Kira Trofimova was a nice surprise, girl has a lot of artistic potential.

Kira Trofimova was a nice surprise, girl has a lot of artistic potential.

Absolutely the breakout performance of these test skates. With a 3A she could make this entire season a blow out.

2015 world figure skating champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva told RIA Novosti in an interview that she will keep the same free skating program in the new season.
At the Russian Championships in December 2022, the 26-year-old athlete was third, losing to Sofya Akatieva and Kamila Valieva. The test skates of the main Russian national team skaters are scheduled for September 16-17 in Moscow at the Megasport Arena.

"I'm not worried that later began to run-in programs for the new season. There is enough time for everything - if only there was a desire. Now I will just perform in other shows, and there I will start to roll out, including those programs that I will need in the season. As for the free skating, we will leave it the same. The short program will be almost new. In some performance it has already been seen, but it was not a short program," said Tuktamysheva.

"While I'm looking for motivation, it's not in a very good state. Looking for it in everything - in music, for example. In the same fairy tales. It's a very subtle question. Motivation can't be squeezed out - you just have to want it and find it. It has to appear on its own without any effort. And so far there are problems with that," Tuktamysheva said.

 

[Mariott]

Yes, she is. She intends to continue in the adult category and qualify for RusNat.

Moreover, she has the goal to repeat last season's achievement, to be in the top 10 at RusNat, and if possible, to improve it.

Hm, so the short program is a version of a show program? (Would love it if they could use the gala program, I really liked that one.)
Or does anyone know which one she means?

Ilya Averbukh was mentioned as a choreographer of the short program. Here are all the exhibitions he choreographed for her:
1) "Shallow"
2) "Секунду назад" ("A second ago")
3) "La Cumparsita"
4) "Снег" ("Snow")
5) "Девочка и море" ("The girl and the sea")

So it's most likely one of these.

MOSCOW, August 21. /TASS/. The winner of the 2022 Russian Cup final in figure skating Veronika Yametova has updated both programs for the upcoming season, although the idea was to leave the short program for the second season. The figure skater's coach Elena Levkovets told TASS on Monday.
"Veronica looks at the upcoming season with a positive attitude, she has grown up a bit, she looks great. For the upcoming season we decided to update both programs, although there were thoughts of leaving her short program for this year. Yes, it had its own tricks, and they will remain with Veronika, but we don't want to follow the beaten path, we need something new. Yesterday we just finished working on the production," said Levkovets.
On September 2, the athlete will perform at the control skates in Ekaterinburg. "Very soon we will have regional rentals, in which we always take part to hear the opinion of our team of specialists," said the coach. - As for the test skates in Moscow, there is no certainty with this issue yet, especially since we plan to participate in the first tournament in Yekaterinburg on September 19. We will have a very busy calendar this year".
Levkovets noted that Yametova's joint June training camp with Svetlana Sokolovskaya's group benefited the figure skater. "I think we did the right thing by deciding on these training camps. Veronika needed to communicate with athletes, our team. There are only pluses from this, especially since Veronika is a very communicative person," Levkovets added.

I really liked her free skate program last season. Brought her much success too.

A kind of historical shot - Anna Frolova and Ksenia Gushchina on the shared home ice.

The Figure Skating Academy held an open training session for the guest of honor, the famous musician, saxaphonist Igor Butman. Davydenko's band and Rukavitsyn's group were present.
