Russian local competitions 2017-2018

What is she doing then? Considering it's already second local competition in St. Pete. I saw her with Rafa and thought maybe this girl finally will fix her technique, and will start to work hard on her horrible lutz/flip. And now she's skipping the second event in a row.

2nd Event of StPetersburg Cup, 11-15 Sep 2017


Junior Pairs SP - Mishina-Galliamov good, 1st, 59,07.
Kostukovich-Yalin 2nd, 58.
Kvartalova-Svyatchenko throw fall, 52.57.
Osipova-Tarasenko (first competition in pairs for former single skater Tarasenko) - 46.49, not so good pair elements.

Any news why Mishina/Galliamov did not get JGP events? That's a second competition where they skate pretty well and pairs who were weaker than them got events.

She doesn't have to do the small competitions in St Petersburg. As long as she does Russian cups, everything is fine. It seems that she did not get a JGP event, so that means she will have to qualify for nationals through Russian cup events.

Okay, I got it. But I mean, look at Samodurova - what a hardworking skater she is. She participates at almost every competition, and trying to prove that she deserves to be in the main junior team. About Nugumanova I read Mishin's interview, I'm not sure did I understand that correctly, but seems like he said that Liza doesn't care much about trainings. And now she is with unknown coach. I doubt that he/she will force her to work hard, if even Mishin couldn't. But I think Rafa could.

We don't know what exactly happened between Nugumanova and Mishin, so I think it is unfair to speculate. You seem to be quite judgemental. There may be many reasons why she is not competing in every available competition like Samodurova. She may be injured, or has some problems (growth or puberty), or it is simply the strategy her coached decided on.... Assuming that Samodurova is so hardworking because she already competes whereas Nugumanova must have problem with 'not caring enough about her trainings' is ridiculous. It is still early in the season, and maybe she just needs more time.

There was no livestream from 3rd day (ladies SP), but i seen 4th day livestream (which also was not full). And even that bad quality video not availible now.
As usual for S-Pb competitions, some secrets.... again.
All that i remember - senior ladies competition wins Sofia Samodurova with really not bad LP.

Video of her LP - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mbb-uaK6yqU

It seems that she can be competitive at the fifth stage of Junior Grand Prix.

she has become more expressive but I don't see how she can competitive in russian ladies field with no 3-3 while most russians even now backload all their jumps.

It touches only Eteri's group. Sonya also is backloading all of her combos. She can easy compete against Fedichkina or even Gulyakova.

My fav part at the end of the program, when Sonya accelerates! She has amazing stamina.
