2025-26 Russian Nationals Women's Short Program

I'll be honest, changing Dina's programs from the ones she had at Jr Test Skates just because she switched to Team Tutberidze was a crime. Are her programs now terrible? No, but her old ones were so much better.
I actually like this SP more. It's fit for seniors. I don't think they changed the programs only on principle. I imagine TT genuinely just didn't like the old ones. That's the impression Dina gave in an interview earlier.

Dasha was so good, such a pity they put her behind Anna..

Dina great!!!
Dasha deserved 34. She is supposed to win on levels which she did not achieve today. She is one of maybe 3 ladies who can take level 4 and she did not do it. Anna's program is just better.

I think that's a kind of gentleman's agreement now, as when Liza andreeva went to Eteri, Bulycheva asked them to not keep the programs she had from her. Since then usually when skater changes the programs are changed too.
 
In general we can be quite happy with the girls today. It was only Muravieva who had serious trouble but she has done much worse and maintains chances to place around what she is supposed to anyways tomorrow. Maybe drops out of the competition against Frolova assuming the latter is clean. She can probably be content with the tournament if the FS is clean.
