2020-21 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

[JazzUp]

With the rising social unrest in Belarus

it won't affect the event's youtube live coverage in the slightest

and threat of civil war, with possible interference of Russian military?

and this belongs in a sci-fi forum being as far from reality as possible

One thing is that we cannot place Kamila in any tier yet as she is only 14. Her participation in test skates with seniors, in Russian Cup, and presumably in the Russian Nationals is just a reflection of her tremendous potential. But if we have WCs this season she will compete once again with Alysa not with Rika.

I would say that is debatable as they have already earned or were incredibly close to earning (Kamila) the scores for those tiers internationally and this is with the junior scoring handicap too. Well, Daria wasn't close so maybe she should be in Tier 3 for now.

It'll be exciting to see Kamila on the international senior circuit because I think she does have the potential to dominate (S Tier )

I'm a big fan of the Mishin ladies and Ryabova so this sounds like a competition I'd really enjoy watching. Will there be a stream?

I love when Mishin is at a competition but I want to shout at him to cover his nose with the mask....

Yes! Hopefully Urmanov caught up with him and gave him a crash course on wearing the mask correctly.

So it was a good Sochi sea-and-mountains excursion for #TeamTutberidzeForProgress.

4 starts, 3 medals, and Mark Lukin was very close to winning his own medal.

What's next?

In the seniors, there is Kamila Valiyeva and Maya Khromykh still in contention. We don't know wether Valiyeva will compete in Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, which would make a nice tribute to her roots. Khromykh will have to compete very well, and not fall on her quad.

in the juniors, Sof'ya Akat'yeva will probably compete for Gold against Sof'ya Samodelkina in the 5th stage in Moscow, with the largest number of spectators and media attention.
Adeliya Petrosyan might perhaps already be competing in the 4th stage, when the training staff feels she is capable of doing so.
Will we see Dar'ya Sadkova again?

There is a VK group which keeps a detailed unofficial tally. Just wish for FFKKR to do this officially.

When the cutoff is at 18 ranking points, the total score will be decisive, right?

In the seniors, there is only Maya Khromykh still in contention, who will compete at her best against some serious fellow contestants. How to choose the best start for her?

You forgot Kamila.

Kamila was given the 5th stage in Moscow

Can't 12yo compete in juniors stage? Seems like Zhilina won't compete.

I didn't know that Valieva was Tatar like Zagitova.

Daria Sadkova competed at stage 1. She's born late june 2008. I do believe Zhilina was born earlier

And yes, Kamila is Tatar, born in Kazan, moved to Moscow age 6

Davydov: Berestovskaya learns the quadruple Salchov and triple Axel

" Liza is an emotional child, she can smile and cry," said Davydov. "In the short program, she was tense, usual she does everything very fine-tuned and jumpy, but there was a break, she worried. In the free program, albeit not ideal, it turned out to do two quadruple jumps. At the same time, we're learning a triple Axel, without it it will be very difficult to win the short program, we work through a fishing rod, on training apparatus. For me this is primary, but we will see how things are moving. The athlete must be ready for a quadruple, he must be adapted, and the jump should be convenient for him. We are working on the quad Salchow. "

" The starts are now behind us, we have qualified for the Russian championship. Preparation for the competition takes a lot of time, and now we are tightly working on the elements, we are choosing time intervals in order to do everything right "

I'm really proud of Liza! Coming back with a 2 quad free skate after a disappointing short yesterday The quads were q and <, respectively, but it was great to see her land 2 regardless and she seemed thrilled. Can't wait to watch her at junior nationals again!

A couple of mistakes for Adelia, but I'm not worried given she probably hasn't been back to training for very long. I liked her program, but it definitely needs more work compared to her short. The performance isn't quite there yet but I'm sure it will be very soon. Still a very solid first outing for her! Also, does anyone know the music? I know I've heard it somewhere but I can't remember where

Kamila was given the 5th stage in Moscow

Makes sense, the Big Stage, up against the Angel and/or the Destroyer (Kostornaya and Trusova)

When, according to Gleikhengauz, Valiyeva's triksel is almost competition ready, she is on equal ice with the seniors when it is inserted in her program and successfully competed.

Adeliya Petrosyan just said in her interview she is planned to compete in Moscow too.

It seems to me that Mishin is really prioritizing a lot of competitions for his athletes. Last year Tuktamysheva and Samodurova went to three Challengers. And it's been that way all along. Liza has won the Challenger Cup 5 times out of 6. And it's not uncommon that they turn up at other competitions as well (like this one this weekend).

Other coaches send their athletes to maybe one Challenger or none at all.

I suppose it is a question of where you want to spend your money. Obviously Mishin spends more on travel and competitions than other coaches.

Adeliya uses this music:
A Evaristo Carriego - Orquesta Color Tango for her short program
Арцах - Ara Gevorgyan for her long program

Her father Tigran is an accomplished musician, hence probably Adeliya is used to many kinds and styles of music being played during gigs at home, and no doubt, she's been to many concerts of her father also. Is Adeliya musical herself?

Elizaveta just has the cutest little face. It made me so happy to see her land the quads (even though they were definitely UR) because of her smile of delight after she landed them. Honestly, there are many things I don't really like about her skating, but I would willingly watch any program of hers just to see her smile. Adelia was definitely more enjoyable in the SP, but she has some lovely basics. Congratulations to all the participants.

Just up against Alena I think. Sasha will be at stage 4 while Alena will be at both. Although Kamila doesn't have Rostelecom unlike literally all the seniors. That's a lot of competitions in a relatively short period of time for the seniors, especially Alena (and Evgenia if she's attending) - stage 4, Rostelecom, and stage 5.

I understand the bickering started with the following message which I cannot name anything but provocation:

What depth? Where is this depth in Russian ladies skating everybody is talking about? Every year one or two new promissing faces showing up means nothing. It's just a lot of hype about nothing. People think about past promissing skaters and their perception says "huh, it's so crowded there". No it's not. Everybody is beatable. At this moment, there's more depth in Japanese skating.

Ah yes. That was quite the hot take.

Someone posted her 4T, 4T+3T and 4S attempts on Telegram. They look great.
