Link to protocols corrected. These 11-12 year olds competed full difficulty programs a very large number of international seniors aren't capable of.
In two weeks Moscow Championships, where the Moscow quote to Junior Nationals will be filled.

Thanks. I see that Mark Lukin and Georgiy Kunitsa also won their categories as you've mentioned before.

It's hard to understand what you meant by that. Nevertheless what she said means nothing for me. It's the same Tracy Wilson who heavily criticized Trusova's skating for lack of artistry - and the same Tracy Wilson who pours heaps of praises littered with "amazing!" and "beautiful!" towards CanNat ladies with their 90s-years-style two-foot skating in a circle past the music. Comparing to that - Trusova is just goddess of artistry - at least she has choreography.
Sorry, I can't respect hypocrites.

That's what I meant
Her enthusiastic words sounded like a bad joke to me.

Lots of retrospects, nice photos (page 24, with that huge bear carried off the ice by four sweepers ;-)

What's crazy is that despite the 3 quota restriction, skaters who are effectively Russian can sweep the top 6 at these Euros. Kurakova and Safonova represented the country initially while Ryabova was born, lives and trains in Moscow. Respectable "second podium" contenders who probably wouldn't break top 25 within the motherland. Add to that the 3A landing Shabotova for future competitions.
I hope that nobody has doubts that the red machine no longer steamrolls in the sport of hockey.

Fun blog posting trying to define famous skaters in patisserie: https://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/pirouette/2665822.html , many of those creations look as delicious as they are spectacular.
It would be interesting if she could land all of those quads, which she cannot.

37:27 Foreigners demand an increase in the age limit - is it envy or concern?
43:12 Insiders from the ISU Congress: will the ban on quadruples be lifted and figure skating will be divided into two separate types?
49:03 In Russia, competitions are more interesting than abroad

Well, she isn't really that competitive against the three Russian ladies that are going. RusFed went strictly by the results at Nationals and sent the three on top with Tuktamysheva and Guliakova as alternates (the next eligible seniors). Medvedeva lost all her chances when she pulled out of Nationals I'm afraid.
If we assume she has a 80% success rate with her quads (which she hasn't), the chance of her to land all five quads is only 33%.
If Anna has as good a skate she had at Nationals it will be very difficult for Sasha to beat her. Even with five quads.

i believe she will be done for the season based on her instagram post from WD at RusNats and will begin preparations for the fall, since she also announced new music.
There was at least one publicly available pre-run (RusNats?) where she did all the drill perfectly.
That's why TUT was so disappointed next day.
She has a 74% success rate on quads(which is more than Anna with her 63%).
At international competitions, Anna will not have scores as at Nationals and Sasha will have be enough a clean program with 4 quads to beat her(even with 2A in SP)
