Ouch, Kamaldinova/Marishin, death spiral deserves it's name today...

 

[flanker]

Dvinina/Potapov very nice free with the most Russian program (Nutcracker).

 

[flanker]

Parsegova/Bogdanov well done, incl. 3F+3T+2A. and because of dumb ISU we may not see such combos in pairs anymore!!!

 

[flanker]

Kovyazina/Mokhov clean skate, good ending of the season for them after some not very good competitions.

Boys so far:
Konstantin Zhurakovsky messed with two falls unfortunately.
Nikolai Kolesnikov is there with the Dude too, so his transfer is finished. 74.76, so-so. He is nearly 17 but still looking like hardly 13 BTW.

 

[flanker]

Nikita Sarnovsky mess, although fall from 3A was a fluke, it seemed his skate got into some groove. The dude and Bulychev are surprisingly in a light mood, making jokes with him.

@flanker Thanks for these written updates as always. Very helpful for me to quickly check what's up.

Very happy for Arina! Should be a spot on the national team secured. Shame Lezina and Gudaeva didn't do better. Lezina's 4S was better here than it was the last time I saw her do it, but it's definitely not going to be a real jump for her. Also, she's ridiculously small. If I didn't know any better, I'd think she was like, 8 she's a great performer, though. I'd suggest ice dance if she wasn't so small
Also happy for Galkina with her 6th place finish. Didn't expect her to be the highest placing St. Petersberg girl, but I hope it will be enough for the national team?

Wow that's interesting. I liked her at the start of the season but thought she'd end up disappearing in the sea of young skaters. I'll have to watch her on the replay then.

Battle of the Schools final:

Polina Martynenko 3A (evaluated as downgraded), 3Lo+3T, 3F, 3Lz+3T, 3Lz+2A+2A, 3S. Otherwise one of the best skates I saw from her.

 

[flanker]

Alisa Eren 4T, 3Lz+3T, 3S step-out, 3F+3T, 3Lz+2A+2A, 3Lo. She improved her performance level a lot.

Is anyone able to access the scoreboard and protocol PDFs for this event...?

I get an error page saying that I'm using a VPN, even though I'm not. (So maybe it's just because I'm outside of Russia.)

Wasn't Akateva supposed to partake in a local tournament a bit ago? What ever happened with that?

Ironically, I succesfully accessed it with a VPN.

Ha. Go figure. Which VPN set to which country?

I have a paid VPN. I think it's just well-disguised, that's all. Anyway, that was Lithuania.

Yeah, I have a paid VPN, too. I just tried setting it to Lithuania. Still getting the same error message. Argh.
