2021-22 Russian Women's Figure Skating

[LiamForeman]

Junior test skates are already next week!

Do we have a list of participants? I'm assuming the National team Akatieva, Samodelkina, Berestovskaya, Zakharova, et al, but would Zhilina be invited? Sadkova?

I think they’ll try to invite everyone. Zhilina for sure, since she already got assigned a JGP. I would assume Sadkova too, just to see what shape she’s in. I believe getting invited to test skates doesn’t mean you’ll 100% get an assignment, while not being at test skates might still result in getting a jgp.

Recent SP performance of Alina Gorbacheva with 2A, 3F and 3Lz-3T! She looks fully recovered and judging by the caption, she got an invite to junior test skates.

Came across this, Anna Shcherbakova did an interview with a magazine - the full interview is here:

Some of the interesting parts where she talks about competing and nutrition (I pulled out the nutrition because so many people love to troll about Eteri's methods and Shcherbakova's size)

There is huge competition in Russian figure skating, especially in women's singles. To show results, you need to be psychologically stable, do everything so that emotions do not affect your skates. Such confidence came to me last season. Despite the struggle at the rink, the skaters support each other outside the rink. Each one understands the price of victories.

At competitions we are our own make-up artists, we come up with images on our own. Through trial and error, I learned how to do the makeup that I like. Most often it is standard, but I can add a couple of color accents depending on the program. I also do my hairstyles. For girls, collecting for competitions is more difficult than for boys. It is necessary to allocate time to prepare the image, in my case - two hours. I got used to getting ready calmly, not in a hurry.

I don't go on diets, I just try to eat healthy and balanced. It is important for me to maintain a certain weight in order to be in shape, to perform jumps. In training, I spend a lot of calories, my appetite wakes up. Some athletes refuse to eat before a performance, but I, on the contrary, feel better when I have lunch.

hope we start getting some hints on programs from Daniil soon...we need some sort of news!

Junior test skates are already next week!

Well that just stinks - we like a few weeks to get loathsome over the music choices before we have to dissect them up against program layout.

Does anyone know if junior test skates will be live streamed?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

As junior test skates are in few days, does anyone know if they will be streamed on youtube? im starting to get worried that there will be no stream this year

As junior test skates are tommorow, does anyone know if they will be streamed on youtube? im starting to get worried that there will be no stream this year

I've scoured 1tv's website, vk, and youtube channel - nothing so far. If anyone finds anything, this is probably the place to post links/videos: https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/threads/russian-junior-and-senior-test-skates.88704/

Of course if there will be a footage I'll watch it, but the SP only in the evening and the FS the next day (most probably I'll be off from friday afternoon till saturday afternoon).

Junior ladies groups:

I wonder what happened to Dvoeglazova. She seems to be the only one from junior/novice teams that won't be at test skates (apart from Osokina who switched to pairs).
