It's not panic. People are just not happy with the organization and have some concerns. But we (at least I) believe in what you have reported and wish for a good Euro 2020. So don't feel offended. Waiting for your live report!

Well, there were comments saying Trusova and Shcherbakova should not jump quads at all. Which would be their choice of course, but I see no reason why they shouldn‘t unless the ice really gets worse until Saturday. I‘m not at the rink yet but some others on this forum are and they say the ice looks normal. I‘ll leave tomorrow and tell you.
I‘m not offended by your comment at all, believe me, I‘m not happy with the organization either. Especially not with the fact that the original venue wasn‘t available because of some competition of the hockey team. That‘s just.. bad.
So, yes, I‘m concerned as well. And I‘m the one who‘ll have to make their way through this potato field to the rink too. 
But in all seriousness, I don‘t see any dangers to the athletes, a different venue was set up (which looks ugly but is normally used for concerts or galas), the ice looks alright and they have the space and areas they need to warm-up. So, unless something happens (which I hope it won‘t!!) I believe that the skaters will be fine.

According to Tomáš Verner, who is there with Matyáš Bělohradský: "The conditions here are not exactly good, we are in some kind of a provisional hall, but the ice quality is satisfying."
So we should be happy at least for that.
:thumbsup:
Nop, it doesn't work. That family name is a lot older than the very idea of underwear.
Anyone have a scoreboard for this? I found a schedule here: https://www.kirov.kp.ru/online/news/3739564/
And a scoreboard for this event too?

RusFed should let their skaters be outsourced officially - and WC 20xx winner could be Masha Petrova from Tonga.

Vladimir Putin: “ Figure skating attracts attention. Especially now, when our athletes are achieving stunning results ”
Russian President Vladimir Putin shared his opinion on figure skating.
“Such a bright, beautiful, elegant sport like figure skating attracts attention. Especially now, when our athletes, and especially the young girl athletes, achieve such stunning results. Millions of people always tune in to this.
And this is not a joke, it is important when people can relate to some kind of activity that attracts the attention of millions of people and are doing such positive work - it only becomes more effective because people listen to you ”, Putin said in a meeting with students of the Sirius Educational Center in Sochi.

PS: Putin named Oleg Matytsin new Minister of Sports. Matytsin is relatively unknown, but experienced in managing sports and sporting events, especially in and for university students.
Let's hope he is a dedicated professional who will advance Russian sports, modernise its structures and deal with the doping scandal effectively.

Thanks. Yes I see that now when I check her Wiki page. She doesn't seem to be Top 6 material though.
Looking through the entries again I realise that I somehow forgot about Paganini. She might be a top 6 contender as well alltough her season this far hasn't been that great.
And then of course there is Alexia Tornaghi.
There might not be a Russian Top 6 after all...

The Figure Skating Maps are getting better and better - check the newest ones out which are animated:
Anna Shcherbakova's 'Perfumer': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKmYZZHZxLs
Alyona Kostornaya's 'Angel': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGn4a6Pd8bY
English annotated versions coming soon, but these maps require lots of study and teamwork for them to be beautiful, representative and faultless.
Obviously, the static ones are already pieces of art, and quite valuable too, for one can see the full measure of efforts a certain team of dedicated professionals puts into the programs of their pupils in order to maximise their chances in both artistic and technical skating while presenting this integral image needed to develop their skaters to the maximum of their capability.
In two days, we can admire these marvellous programs one more time, and perhaps some new elements and artistic touches have been added again, for this team and their skaters never rest.

Well, there have been few complaints from the skaters, if at all. The ice is good and AUT fed made the best of the conditions and circumstances.
The tent does look very cold though and one iы fortunate the Alpine winter is mild this week. If it were freezing 15-20 degrees, or be as cold in Krasnoyarsk during Russian Nationals, the LOC would have been in serious trouble even up to cancelling.

I was kidding. Some say that "трус" long time ago meant the earthquake and "Трусов" was the man making an earthquake. Although, I am not sure about earthquakes in Russia.
Great stuff
