I noticed you have there also Dominina and Shabalin in the reserve team. Any reason for that?
What happened to Gosviani?
It's so that they can continue to get paid in spite of Maxim's inability to skate because f his knees

Oksana Dominina gave birth to the daughter Anastasia(Nastya), at 02 Jan 2011. Father of the baby - well-known former skater Roman Kostomarov (they live together but are not married).I noticed you have there also Dominina and Shabalin in the reserve team. Any reason for that?
Nothing.What happened to Gosviani?
Yey!She always has music choices I like, she is from few junior russian ladies who dont have Carmen, Kalinka etc etc in her repertoire so far!Elena Radionova. Music of SP - from soundtrack of "The Fifth Element".
I love the pictures - especially the pairs and ladies. Considering that they have been skating for about a year together, it's interesting how much Davankova/Deputat look like a real pair, not just two random skaters executing elements. So mature and look well together.
Sports Grades and Titles in Russia.
System of Grades and Titles is unified for all kinds of sports (i.e. hockey, swimming, athletics, speed skating etc, and also figure skating), with minor differences.
There are three Titles, 2 to 4 Grades, 2 to 4 Child's Grades in all sports.
In figure skating there are 3 Grades, 3 Child's Grades and additional grade "Baby skater".
So from lowest to highest.
"Baby skater" is given for results of tests (not competitions) for about 5-6 years old children. It is needed to earn Child's Grades.
3rd Child's Grade is lowest of Child Grades, 1st is highest. Program - only Free Skate, with level of difficulcy growing from 3rd to 1st (for 3rd is needed jump 1Lo, for 2nd 1A, for example). Also skater must perform a test of steps for corresponding grade.
For higher grades program is of SP and FS.
3rd and 2nd grade - close to Advanced Novice. For 2nd Grade score in competitions must be not less than 65 for Men and 60 for Ladies.
1st Grade - program is sligthly simpler than ISU Junior. Score im competition not less than 90 for Men and 80 for Ladies.
Candidate to Master of Sports - program is the same as ISU Junior. Not less than 10 years old. Given for high place in Junior competition (1-10 for RusJunNat for Men and Ladies, 1-2 place for low level). In SP GOE for all jumping elements not less than -1. Not less than 2 different triples, 3+2 or 2+3.
Sports Titles.
Master of Sports - program is the same as ISU Senior. Not less than 12 years old. Given for high place in Senior competition (1-10 for RusNat for Men and Ladies, 1-2 place for low level). n SP GOE for all jumping elements not less than -1. Not less than 2 different triples, 3+2 or 3+3.
Not less than 4 different triples for MEN or 3 for Ladies, 3+3 for Men, 3+2 or 2+3 for Ladies.
Master of Sports of the World Class - only for high results of Internationals.
Honored Master of Sports - for very high results of Nationals and Internationals in long enough time. No formal limits what is "very high" or "long enough". In fact limits are really high. It's a title of Evgeni PLUSHENKO, Irina SLUTSKAYA, Domnina-Shabalin.
There are no Ladies who are now skaters with this title.
Competitions in Russia are performed for all levels of grades from "Baby skater" to "Master of Sports"(i.e. Senior).
For Pair Skating there exist 1 Grade ad higher.
For Ice Dance - 2 Grade and higher.
It is because young skaters with lower grades are singles only.
Most of Russian skaters are little girls 10 years old and younger. Boys - much less than girls.THX! It's interesting. The Russians can do this, because you have many skaters. In my country there are total cca 40 female/girl skater, but dancer, male, and pair, only a few.
They have.Why haven't Navka/ Kostomarov that title?
Most of Russian skaters are little girls 10 years old and younger. Boys - much less than girls.
Most of skaters leave figure skating at young age, at level of 1 grade or less.
They have.
