2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

[Elucidus]

There was some anon on certain figure-skating russian board who hinted that he is making videos of test skates being in Novogorsk. So, there is some hope we can new programs (3A and quads!) sooner than we anticipated Well, it's just a possibility now - who knows whether it will be true or not..

Hm, at least it wasn't lie after all - here is the moment of Scherbakova stumbling on step sequence during sp in Novogorsk test skates: https://yadi.sk/i/DOlnmbYR3ZxXY8

Don't know if I'm late to post it or what but Trusova's off-ice 3A: https://streamable.com/9pwdk
Could this be the surprise she refused to mention in her interviews?

I don't think I've ever seen anyone do a triple axel on the floor. Or at least not this spectacular. Holy cow. I saw in one interview where she said the 3A was a no go for her, and she had given up on it.

That’s because there is only one tiny boss!

Are there clips of any other skaters and if so could you link them if it isn’t too much hassle

Unfortunately, no. Maybe only these short clips of some jumps of most popular skaters were shooted and that's it, who knows? As I understand officially it's not allowed to shoot anything there so the "cameraman" risked enough already. I only hope that at least quads and 3A will be shooted tomorrow

According to talented_skaters on Instagram, Shcherbakova’s SP is to A Comme Amour.

If this is true, I want to remind you that one skater from Team Tutberidze already skated to it: Eteri’s daughter, Diana Davis https://youtu.be/cuFP6aOgW_I
So maybe they will use the same cut or something. I know it’s just a possibility but I’m too excited...

Oh, why did they have to put this video out? Couldn’t they have done one of her jumping or something else * but yes, I thought it might have been off a twizzle. It was a very quick moment anyway and she made a very good recovery, like nothing happened

I'd like to add:

Clear 10 in IN if Kosto falls on that!

Oh, perfect! She can take-off on the missile launch sound, and then have a planned fall on the trombone!

Unless someone has real info to share I put forward a conspiracy theory: there are ongoing tough negotiations between Orser/Medvedeva and the Fed regarding her participation in the test skates. That's why despite almost mid August there is no clarity where and when exactly they will take place.

Last year by this time I already had bought the tickets.

Ok, Sasha's rotation speed is INSANE! :eeking: if she'll improve on that she eventually could spread her arms to the sides and fly away like a helicopter

Wut? so seniors go through test skates too? I thought it's just for juniors.

It's a regular public event with tickets sold. It usually happens in Sochi in early September. I went to the last 2 ones.

Orser & Medo have no reason to not want to participate in the test skates organized by the rusfed tho. She's just training in Canada but she's still russian & dependent on the rusfed. They help fund her training just in case you forgot. There are really no reasons for them to need to negotiate for her to participate. plus there are so many people involved in the test skates, why would they organize everything around Medo's attendance? :think:
i just want to know why you think that.

Looks like Kingpin Medvedeva and her Mafia boss Orser are at it again! Now we can’t even have test skates on time!

1) Why wouldn‘t she want to participate in the test skates?
2) Great, apparently she‘s so important to the fed that they‘re willing to postpone a whole event because of her. Way to go, Zhenya!
