Sasha's hair is so long it must take forever to braid her hair. She must have really strong arms to be able to braid it all the way to the ends.
Pretty soon, August 19-21 will be the Sankt Peterburg local federation Test Skates for KMS and MS level skaters (which disciplines?)
The organisator is FFKKSPb, not FFKKR, so I suppose only Winged Blades skaters will participate and there is no chance to get that last international assignment?
No livestream same as last season?Tuktamysheva and Samdurova may participate.If I remember correctly, there were Sakhanovich,Gulyakova and Nugumanova.Just wondering about Gubanova.

I hope there will be videos of the event. Please.

The Russian senior test skates aren’t until, like, September 9th, right? But when does the Challenger series start? I’m guessing we have to wait until the test skates to see who’s going to which Challenger, but does that give the skaters enough notice?

About Eteri Tutberidze... Interesting! https://medium.com/@fstranslations/...t-sport-should-be-like-in-russia-bac86fc4cad9
CS Series start 12th with Autumn Classic and Lombardia a day later, 13th. Imo 9th September for test skate too close. Idk if Zhenya will be in Autumn Classic, going from Canada to Russia and immediately to Canada again is very tiring and she will be jet lagged. She only have 3-4 days to prepare for Autumn Classic...The Russian senior test skates aren’t until, like, September 9th, right? But when does the Challenger series start?

Here are results
Total score is 189.74, which is 76 points ahead of the second place.
Spots limits for a country is evil. Many good Russian skaters couldn't compete internationally because of it, while weak skaters from other countries are allowed. As a result, good skates are almost forced to leave Russia. Cui prodest?I'm so happy for her. All these skaters put their lives into the sport, and though she's now a big fish in a very small pond, it still must be rewarding to be a champion and have opportunities to compete internationally now that she really would not have ever had if she stayed in Russia. I hope more and more do the same because it must be so deflating to train as much as anyone yet know you will NEVER compete for Russia at internationals, GP, etc. Their talent is not a waste.
