Interesting.. but "learned" may still be a too strong word here...
BTW Gubanchik was quite exquisite today!
maybe... I'm Maiia's hypeman, perhaps the one who's too optimistic 
Liza N is in Sochi training camp
How wonderful it was to see Gubanova again!!
She looked very good! Her jumps were all solid and she beat Samodurova on every jump element. She lost a bit on spins though. But why oh why hasn't she been competing??? She sooo belongs at RusNats but that won't happen...
Overall, this competition was a bit fiercer than the one in Moscow. Talalaikina, who popped her 3Lo scored 58 points and is only 9th out of 15.
Also nice to see Anastasia Kolomiets, who is another fave of mine.

How so? Nastya has not competed in about 10 months. It's good that she's back but since she's been gone a lot has happened. Even more Russian girls passed her by. But the important thing is if she's healthy and happy at age 18 she can skate for herself and the enjoyment she derives from that.Interesting.. but "learned" may still be a too strong word here...

Nastya spoiled us when she was a
Novice and Junior with such beautiful and lyrical skating. I hope she still has that. I imagine she does.
Could she still be getting funding?

Daria made a mistake both in SP and FS (step-out, in SP from combo, in FS from 3F I believe), Maiia fell on downgraded 4T and 3F, Ksenia was clean, but with relatively less difficult content and execution (her GOEs were usually somewhere between +0.5 and +1). I'll try to find protocools, I saw scans on instagram, so they must be available.

It's good to know Nastya is back but we still don't know what the heck happened to her and why she fell off the face of the Earth for 10 months after she did very well in the Russian Cup final in february. And after not competing for almost 10 months how did she beat Sofia a European champion in every jump category as you pointed out since SS is in mid season form?How wonderful it was to see Gubanova again!!

One would think Nastya would return and be very rusty and out of form.
Nastya has been lowballed in her 4 senior Rusnats yet still finished between 5 and 10 all 4 times. Very respectable. It's a shame she won't be there if she had her to cup of that she most certainly would be and she deserves to be invited if there are withdrawals as I expect due to health reasons. But flying several hours to Siberia on a plane with a hundred other people is probably not a good idea the middle of a pandemic that is hitting Russia pretty hard.

Thanks.
I think everybody gets a pass for this season. Nothing is normal for these great athletes whether they're seniors or Juniors or whatever sport they play.
Thank you!

You are watching figure skating during the pandemics, trying to exempt all the questionable performances around the world, caused of course by COVID, and then you will see Anastasya Gubanova in local competetion, who was not even trying to perform at Russian Cup to qualify to Russian Championship, doing this:
