2015-2016 Russian Nationals Ladies FS

[sloveniangirl]

Are you serious? Yulia had only one combo today 2a+2t.

Overall, she is better than Anna, even better than Tukt and Sotnikova. I bet she will never rolling around on the ice like Anna.

How does that work for Julia? She got 7th but Polina is a junior even next year.

not sure if they count junior skaters
if this is russian team for full seniors then Julia might be included in Top 6

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

You might have a case if she came in 4th, but she was 7th here. 7th.

I'd like to see her in a Russian Cup event or something but she's only been with Alexei for three weeks. She is showing promise and instead of looking defeated today she looked peeved. That's a much better sign IMO. She needs more time though. The move to Sochi works on so many levels and will help her as much as it does her new team thru exposure and funding I think. She's found a home and is of way more importance. I think she deserves the attention that she can now get.

Are there any senior internationals left like B events?

Happy for Anna and a bit sad for Liza and Yulia..

 

[Sweet Dream]

The Russian Skating Federation should not hesitate a moment to send Anna, Medvedeva and Elena to Worlds.

I guess we don't need to bother with competitions any more since you have established she is "better" than the others regardless of the outcome.

Russian Cup Final is in February
so still has some time if she wants to compete there. might as well compete in domestic as she wont be going to Euros or Worlds this year

 

[Rissa]

So Anna & Maria should just be passed over even though they skated amazingly? Yulia needs time with her new coach to get back on track. Going to Euros would do her no favors right now & it would be totally unfair to the other girls who work just as hard.

Does Russian fed practice sending their top skaters to Worlds and lower finishers to Euros like Japanese fed does with Men?

I'm not sure what your definition of "better" is, but beating the other in a competition often tends to work. Which Anna did here. We could also take a look at SBs... Which is a win for Anna for both this and the past season.

Then again, that last comment makes it seem like you're just flame baiting so whatever.

We should put some bait.

Liza is as thin as a branch in winter with no leaves.

No. Euros is a big deal to European skaters.

I believe that Euros is a lot more prestigeous than 4CC. I would like to know what they are going to do with Youth Olympics, though. Both Radionova and Medvedeva would be able to take part... As could Sotskova and Tsurskaya. The only one in top 5 who couldn't is Pogorilaya.

Good job, I am laughing hard But maybe you are too cruel to Yulia, it is not good to make fun on the athlete who has hard time.

I looked up skyfly and I have my suspicions already, the writing style is very distinctive indeed.

I will write tomorrow my live report. Just the gist:

Medvedeva is the goddess: it was just amazing - better than CoR
Artemieva is the beauty of FS
Pogorilaya had the skate of her life and the biggest ovation of all
Yulia desperately needs jumps to get to Medvedeva's level to rule the world.
Liza was just a pity. She had a fierce SS at the end but it was too late.

It was an event that will be an important chapter in FS history - outstanding!

 

[FSGMT]

Liza was fat. She needed to lose a serious amount of weight.

Calling everybody headcases.

If a skater had a couple of bad skates, their career was over.

Pairs partnerships could never work unless there was a massive height difference.

Not accepting that Monko was not taller than Khaliavin.

That sort of thing.

Oh, gosh! You brought my memory back to so many discussions I so wish we could have heard her opinion about Liza's victories last season: were they all caused by the lost weight? (not this season's performances, though )

 

[Lipea]

For real, this was probably the strongest Ladies competition in history.

5 ladies did clean BOTH SP and LP with 7 triples :clapper:. I don't remember it happen at any Olympics or Worlds. Seriously, that's unbelievable. I am jealous that I am not in Russia to witness such a competition. It's truly an achievement to be in top ten here.

i think sky fly has been posting in this very thread; the capitalization and word choices are enough to give it away lol.

I agree with you.
Now that the European championship is near I'm thinking: where the best European (and not Russian) skater would place in a competition like this?

Behind first five for sure. But after 5 the judging was very much reputation-based, so it is hard to say. If Joshi skated her best she could be between 7-10.
