2017-18 State of Russian Ladies skating

[Sam-Skwantch]

Lol actually there is one: Shazam it's an app where you can see the title and the artist

I think Apple bought the Shazam app because I can say...”hey Siri...what song is playing” and my iPhone will listen and tell me and link to iTunes. Sometimes I play Instagram clips on my iPad and have my phone listen because a lot of folks don’t credit musicians on there.

It's not current, all trashy music gets forgotten quickly, that's why we rarely hear trashy music from the early 20th century.

By current state I meant current world's state, when some crap gets big money, while the real talents are nowhere. Shazam didn't help.

What?! You think I'm not so rich as those beautiful young ladies which post their selfies with iphone in a mirror on instagram?! Well, you're right! I'm poor. But actully, I didn't see any news about that. Maybe they created their own engine? [emoji848] Because Shazam is available on google play, and it redirects you to google music when you found a song. But that's as far as know. I have no smartphone at all. That's how I'm poor.

Anybody saying Shcherbakova's spins are 'ugly' ain't got no heart.


Congrats to Stasya for her bronze medal! :clapper:
Please remember guys, she started skating at 8, so she's basically 4 years 'younger' than all the others - in figure skating reality, she has experience of 13-14yo rather than 17yo. :thumbsup:

Her wiki says she started skating with 6, not 8?
And not everyone starts skating at 4? While being that young is often the case, there are other skaters who've started later (Mai Mihara with 8, Jin Boyang with 7). The comparison doesn't really work that way, and it's not an excuse when it comes to comparisons - what's out on the ice gets scored, and that's all.

Also Alina Zagitova started to skate around 7...

I didn't write it as an excuse, just bringing the substantial fact of Stasya's massively shorter fs education. It's really impressive, what she's managed to achieve in such period of time, especially remembering that younger children usually learn much faster than older ones.
Leaving the judging controversies completely independent of her aside, one may only respect this amazing girl. Kudos to Stasya! :gclap:

 

[moriel]

Keep in mind she is like 4 years older than her competitors, so the "ohh she started later does not apply".

Also, wiki says she started skating at 6. Thats earlier than quite a few ladies, including Zagi.

 

[tars]

I think she said in interview she started at 8. :thumbsup:

 

[j00mla]

There is a chronological mess with skaters due to unknown reason but probably in young age they want to seems more experienced and so measure their career from the most first step on ice. For example Zagitova in her different interviews says:

I came in figure skating in age of 5 http://sport-inside.org/?p=8072

Professionally [I think she used the incorrect word] I'm skating since age of 7. http://www.fsrussia.ru/intervyu/265...eli-menya-nazvali-v-chest-aliny-kabaevoj.html

Also we can't exclude accidental errors of journalists and persons who compile info about athletes for their sites.

So, more less full list of the competitive ladies, who are eligible for the next JGP 2018-2019 season:

Alena Kostornaya

Anna Tarusina
Viktoria Safonova
Anastasia Mukhortova
Anastasia Tarakanova
Alexandra Trusova
Anna Shcherbakova
Ksenia Sinitsyna
Anastasia Kostyuk
Valeria Yemelyanova
Yana Rubtsova
Diana Guseva
Alena Kanysheva
Sofia Moroz
Kseniya Chistyakova
Daria Zubanenko
(Anastasia Gulyakova)
(Ekaterina Kurakova)
(Anastasia Gubanova)
(Elizaveta Nugumanova)
(Alisa Fedichkina)
(Sofia Samodurova)

Only 14 spots or 7 ladies (or more if some of them bombs competition).

Trusova (2), Kostornaya (2), Tarakanova (2), Shcherbakova (2). Now only 6 spots left for three ladies. Who will take them?
And what should we do with the others?

[tjb]

it mostly depends on the test skates. but kanysheva should get the spots. vasilieva probably as well, and gubanova of course , if she stays

Probably she was brought at the rink around 5, as her father worked as a hockey coach at the rink, but professionally started skating only at 7.

When does IOC publish the final list with the invited Russian athletes? I thought today is the deadline.

Are these the new costumes? They look like astronauts.

 

[russianfan]

I expect judging at Olympics to be ridiculous. They will definitely try hard to leave russians out of podium.
