2025 Russian Junior Nationals

[Mathematician]

For me VLC has been smooth on a Firestick but the past two days is the only time it has been all season (I suppose less people watch junior).

Yesterday I initially tried to watch on the website directly, but it was just stuttering and stopping (that has been fine most of the year).

For senior competition I've just been using Rubtube now which has been great.

It's nothing to do with your internet connection, the VLC stream and Channel 1 has generally been unreliable for me.

VLC mostly fine for me! I had to restart it a couple times yesterday but otherwise quite acceptable.

You have missed a splat fest.

I see the results. It seems this season was a downgrade for the boys compared to previous two. But I hope it's just temporary because of growing.

 

[Mathematician]

WOW! The arena is so empty! I would have paid good money to watch this in person!

Hi StardustSasha, welcome to Golden Skate! As we say here, "post long, post often!"

Ah thank you kindly! Its just the second figure skating event I ever watch after I watched the ISU European Championships. I knew that Russia is immaculate in figure skating but I didnt expected to see such a high caliber in the Junior competition already. For example the Top 9 of the girls would be first with their short program in the European Championship. I will definitely keep watching the Russian competitions for sure!

 

[Mathematician]

Wow and we already broke 70!

That looked so confident and stable... what a shame she fell yesterday!

 

[katymay]

Thata girl. I do love her triple jumps, the technique is so pure and good.

[Skating91]

Nice redemption peformance

It's probably the best skating we'll see in 2025. I think I said the same thing last year

 

[Mathematician]

I wanted to check Labutina's age and I remembered allskaters.info got taken down! RIP. What a helpful site it was...

 

[Mathematician]

Is doing the little hop at the end of spins a level?

RIP

There is still Figure-Skaters.ru though.

Allskaters, by the way, didn't have Labutina's birth date. I was looking for it yesterday. It's 8 November 2009.

Difficult exit feature.

Yea, when averaging the level of all 12-18 competitors we will find the highest with junior girls.

Difficult exit feature.

Thought so... I dont really like it. They should get rid of that IMO. Its quite ugly and breaks flow.

But how do I get to the list of all skaters at Figure-Skaters.ru? I only see list of their birthdays.

 

[flanker]

Kotova delivered good skate too.

 

[katymay]

Another great job!

I just use the site search function by typing in the name I need. They also have interactive competition pages. This is junior nationals. https://figure-skaters.ru/russian_junior_championship_2025#ladies_kms

 

[Skating91]

I enjoyed Kotova. Frenetic pace.

Arseniy FEDOTOV this year, he is not in good shape?

Every boy in Tutberidze team ends up exactly the same at exactly that age. Their joints just cannot take the overtraining she loads on them. I was telling everyone it would happen to Fedotov as well. Because every single one, and none of them yet fully recovered.
