2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

[dante]

Sooner or later, Japan and Korea will catch up for sure. Popularity, suitable body types for fs and great work ethic - features of Eteri's school, just spread over whole fs population.
Maybe China and singular talents from North America will join from time to time, but the main battle will be between the "big three".

As long as Asian teams successfully adopt or work around Eteri's methods, and Eteri doesn't make another revolution. Each of these two are likely, while both together are a little less so.

Plus is anyone using the Sochi rink now? cause that starts to feel like a giant waste.

Why only 'starts'?

Top six skaters on the Grand Prix go to the Grand Prix Final. It doesn’t matter where they are from. It’s just the top six point getters on the Grand Prix. They get points for their placements at each GP event they attend. First place finish at each event is worth 15pts and 2nd place is worth 13 for example. Check out page six to see how points are awarded.

No one is really a lock though although I’d say some are more likely then others. One bad event can really harm your chances and the competition is pretty good these days.

Here are the final results for last year’s season.

Thanks again! The final results from last season that you provided were only relevant to Alina, though, right? For Alena, Anna, and Sasha, it would be the top six point getters among juniors, correct? (That is, for the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final in Vancouver in December.) Assuming so, do you happen to have a link to the results from last season for juniors?

The cool thing about JGPF is unlike Junior World Championship they hold it at the same event and time as the senior GPF. It’s probably the biggest and most diverse crowd not counting Russian Nationals that they get to perform in front of.

Here are the standing from last season’s JGP.

Here are a few links to the entire JGPF ladies events from last year. Best event of the year in my opinion

Yes, that was an amazing event, for me also probably the best even from the whole season...

Also, the press conference was absolutely cute.. :luv17:

Urmanov was invited and created a school there, some of his colleagues joined and they grow slowly but surely. There are facilities, but as I read, region has had no figure skating culture before, so it seems he is doing fine job.

So politically incorrect! :rofl2:
How could they not mention artistry and that Carolina is their idol! :angry1:

It is difficult to compete with other coaches, perhaps this is due to the fact that the group Eteri take the best skaters from other coaches who are less famous. Therefore, it is difficult to compete with Sambo-70. Trusova, Kostornaya, Shcherbakova, Tarakanova were not originally in the group Eteri.

I understand but you have to remember that Tutberidze and Dudakov also started from nowhere, 6-7 years ago they were one of those less famous coaches, but she worked on multiple skaters at the same time outside the big one (like Shelepen or Julia were at the time) in order to bring consistent results every year.

Panova is doing a similar thing, if you consider that 3 years ago she had Maria Sotskova (i wished she stayed with her), then Tarakanova and now Sinitsyna, Kanisheva and Kostyuk.

Maybe the tough competition in ladies don't quite allow you to replicate the same success, then you should look at Men's figure skating: Chebotareva now has Mikhail Kolyada, but is she working on other young guys to achieve similar results in the future and learn from them?

why skating if there's a sea nearby also mountains..

I think Sochi is used, except Urmanov's school, for the 3-4 week camps of the "Sirius" programme by inviting kids from different parts of Rusia for some classes. I would like to know actually if they do anything worthly there. Some Russian member maybe can inlight us.

I think jumping in figure skating, especially for that ages, is the analogous to scoring a goal in football. If you ask any kid what the want to do by playing football
it will be goal. Grown up football player may replie I like passing game, tactics but they will not fool us, they like to score as well .

Pogo is back to training. Right now she is preparing for shows in Japan.
She has to train under close medical supervision, and will have to do it until the end of her career. She says she will be at test skates, and then some CS.
She didn't get new programs yet, and its still not defined who will choreograph.
Pogo already got back her triples, including 3Lz. She still doesnt do 3Lz-3T, but already does the 3F and 3S combos.

Thanks a lot for posting. Now, I make a praying circle for her coming to Nepela in September, seeing her live is one of my many FS wishes

I really loved the entire JGP season, it really was a great time during the season. Sadly, there was something leaving quite the hole... Well, this season's JGP should be even better!

Ahahah I remember this moment because it made me laugh! Alena for the win :agree:

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Serafima’s 3s-3t is looking pretty solid!

But...where is the tano? She’s the OG tano spammer!

So Alena Zhilina can actually 2A as a part of a sequence. The rotation speed also is quite, quite good... Usually it's not so good so early. As a side note, she's sooo tiny.

Does Sima have chances for one GP assignment this year?

 

[Spirals for Miles]

Unlikely, as she's not guaranteed 1 and the host spot is likely to go to either Gubanova, Samodurova, or Pogorilaya if she's ready... but just my opinion, and no one predicted that she'd end up with one last year

Tanos are no longer listed as bonuses for GOEs, there is no longer a reason to do it.

I'm very excited for her, Turenko did a really great job with Gubanova, i hope she will improve Serafima's artistry (with Plushenko she watered down everything in order to get consistent with the jumps)

 

[Bluediamonds09]

If tanos are no longer listed as bonuses, does that mean that doing a tano or rippon feature doesn’t automatically get a +2 or +3 ?

And does this mean that masha will stop doing her ugly tanos?

 

[yoloaxel]

And does this mean that masha will stop doing her ugly tanos?

let's hope so.

I'm curious to see if skaters like Zagitova, Medvedeva and the Eteri junior squad will keep the arm variations since they're so used to them. I think Borser will have Zhenya at least do less of them, I wonder about Eteri!

I think so because arm variations count as bullets for the GOE.
