2025 Russian Junior Nationals

What a wonderfully fun program. Great choreo!

 

[Mathematician]

Bewildering cacophony of music... From teen angst to looney tunes to some sort of instrumental and then I genuinely lost the capacity to follow what was going on.

 

[katymay]

I wonder if Yulia's husband did that choreo? Because it was wonderful. He is very talented.

I have read he had been drafted to the war? If so it's great if he has returned back now to his family unharmed.

No... she remarried with Plushenko's choreographer Mikhailov.

Thanks, I missed that.

Pleskachova with the big 4S

Yulia and her daughter's father were never married, but she married Dmitri Mikhailov last year and had a son (if I remember correctly) with him recently.

(Also, to make it more confusing, there are both coach & choreographer Dmitri Mikhailov at AoP and choreographer Nikita Mikhailov who frequently choreographs for AoP (and other) skaters)

If you mean Lyashenko, her programs are made by Mikhailov but a different one, Nikita Mikhailov.

Yes, their son was born last September, I just read.

Dina first 3A fall, then 3A+2T.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Looks like the first clean ultra-c today.

 

[flanker]

Lyuba 3A+2T, 3A fall. Mirroring Dina...

 

[Mathematician]

Its remarkable she managed to acquire such an axel after such an injury. The biggest by far in juniors. I guess she is lucky how young she was when it happened, her body managed to heal fully. I am invested in the long term journey still, I think she has a lot left to show.

 

[Mathematician]

Might actually be the worst music in skating just keeping it real

I wouldn't say fully though. Judging by her layback and stamina, she still has problems.

 

[flanker]

Lera 3A fall and she is still not fully recovered so she did not do quads. Pity about 3A, she did nice during warm-up. Otherwise that was very good, with clean 3A it could have been 80+ TES.

I dont know, is the layback fail normal for her? The haircutter is impressive, it doesnt seem like she has mobility problems. Stamina issues are ubiquitous in this sport. Considering she couldn't walk after her injury and now jumps a 3A like that I'm calling it a serious recovery.

 

[katymay]

Holding my breath for this one. Still love this dress.

 

[flanker]

Lidia tried two 3As and 4S, not perfect and a fall but she fought for it.
