She needs to do some serious thinking about what she wants to achieve and what is needed to get there. If she is happy with doing well domestically in a weak field, then her current arrangements and focus are achieving that. If she wants to become a top skater with senior GP and WC opportunities, then she needs to address her weaknesses. She will struggle on the senior international circuit if she does not improve her skating skills and performance skills, and that would be a shame when she clearly has a lot of potential.

Yup.... her former teammate, Kara Yun, left Champs... so one of them was reading this board
At the same time, I can imagine that it may be more difficult for Uliana to relocate. Her family just moved to Vancouver from Russia. She probably still is adapting to her relatively new life. Language, education... let alone skating. Who knows about finances too... (and that's not our business to know about that part) But yeah, I wish her the best and I hope it happens for her as she is a great jumper and showing lots of promise. Maybe just moving to Connaught may be good though they seem to be doing better with men than women over there.

In the greater region of Vancouver yes. Their club is Connaught... I think it is in Richmond.
Don't think we can compare the free skate scores of the top ladies here to what Maddie got. If you look at the content of what they did they were about the same. Just think Maddie skating in the USA against a bunch of USA ladies was judged harder. Really think if she was skating in Canada her free skate score would have been at least 5 points higher.

I tried to group the disciplines together, and only noted timestamps for the Junior/Senior events were. Some of them were put into individual videos, some of them were uploaded as part of the whole stream.

Must not be confident. At least she makes sure she doesn’t miss a jump with this strategy.

Breken also front loaded hers... and technically Justine was trying to do that as well
I agree it's best to have them scored, especially on fresher legs and even more at the beginning of the season, than trying to keep the combos for the end.. SMD though will need to upgrade her content sooner than later... her BV is lower.

i don't think SMD will... The flip was never her best jump... and the lutz now is suffering a bit... She was doing better when she used 3t-3t.
i am not expecting our women to all do 2 lutzes and 2 flips...it's too much.. Uliana can do it... but yeah. Fée Ann does two flips and two loops... that's already something... Breken does two lutzes i think... but so many do repeat the lower valued jumps, including Maddie who has such a wonderful 3ltz... It's fine that she plays with the order of jumps to backload a triple loop now in the SP... but in the LP, she need to punch in two lutzes right away.
She has been upgrading her jump combinations. In 2022-23, she had 3Lo-eu-2S as her 3 jump combo, she changed it to the 3Lz-2T-2Lo last season. Going back to a 3Lo+2A like last season instead of 3Lo+2T would be the best way to upgrade.
Apparently they're not doing the JGP and may be back for Nationals. Martina Ariano Kent will be competing in Junior Women for Souvenir Georges-Ethier.

they were tagged by their coach on Instagram at Patinage Quebec's seminar with Andrew Poje, but I'm not sure if they're training atm
