2025-26 Russian Local Events – Discussion

Looking at the younger girls, good on Sofia V for finishing in the top 5! Could've been 4th if she was a bit cleaner. Chistyakova was beautiful, very big, airy jumps. Imo, neither Dokukina nor Korcha have sustainable quads, and the more I see of Zaikina, the more I think Davydov should never be allowed to coach girls. But at least, luckily for Zaikina, it doesn't look like she'll end up being too tall, so maybe she'll have better luck than Berestovskaya, Samodelkina, or Gordeeva
 
Also, very proud of Litvincheva here. Her jumps still need work, but she's improved a lot since last year.

Korcha clearly grew significantly since last season. I don't know if it's possible to judge her stability now. I would've been really impressed if she landed all of her quads today. Her triples in SP looked laboured.

Anyways, I don't think she needs them. I wish Eteri would just poor everything into her artistry. She could be an heir to Usacheva.

Dzepka jumped 4S I hear—I believe it's the first time. I am impressed that she's still improving like this. I don't think she will grow too much more she should be a contender for senior golds.

Korcha seems like she'll be tall. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up Maia 2.0 in terms of the quads. But yes, she does have great artistry for her age and has a promising future even without the ultra-c jumps

No it's not the first time. She landed it in October at junior grand prix
 
I saw her landed in competition grand prix Moscow at Navka arena in October with my own eyes
Well, one of us is crazy because I can't find this anywhere...


"Moscow Navka Arena in October"


I checked all of the scorecards on AllSkaters and no 4S...

I don't remember her jumping a 4S either, but I could be wrong.
 
Ohh i recently moved to Belgium i can no longer have access to Channel 1 sport , when i was in France, I can. I think the Belgiums ban all Russian channels? At least France is sometimes much more flexible than others. Sad!
That's upsetting. You can try to use a VPN of any other European country to access the website. Alternatively, you can use the VLC thing during the broadcasts (geoblocks don't affect it).
