2021-22 Russian Women's Figure Skating

[lariko]

At least one axel type jump must be completed.

Solo or combo?

Solo or combo?

Doesn’t matter, so long as there is one.
It can be 2A of 3A in combo or not.

I never realized that (about the free skate).

What happens if someone leaves the 2A out? Does another jumping pass not get any credit at all?

Probably invalid element, but I wonder which one? The last?

Yes, it's the last one. Same as if you would do too many jumps the last don't count.

To be more clear. If you only had 6 jumps (combos) than all elements would be valid, but if you have 7 without an axel the 7. jump (combination) would be invalid. As any jump after the first 7 jump (combos) is invalid.

Thank you.

I actually found an example, with Aliev (it’s example 8 in Free skate here):

Introduction to Jump Layouts & Invalid Jumps (Singles Skating)

Wondering why a skater's score was so low even though they seemed to land everything? The culprits are usually either underrotations or invalid elements. This post will provide examples of invalid...

So happy and relieved for Anna! Surely they can't pull her off the Olympic team now?

 

[emmaleemochizuki]

when is olympic selection going to be announced?

when is olympic selection going to be announced?

I don't think there is a fixed date, but it will be Kamila, Anna and Sasha for sure.

I don't think it was ever in question. Even if Anna didn't do what she did today, she's a world champion and three times in a row Russian Champion. She doesn't need to prove anything to anyone.

Anna will have a skate off!

With Sasha and KV in Beijing!

All is right with Russian Ladies figure skating: Shcherbakova doubted and Shcherbakova proves the naysayers wrong

 

[laybackrelaxspinfast]

Congratulations to the ladies on their European podium sweep! Kamila was impressive as usual, even with the falls. She’s such a tough cookie! Has anyone heard anything about Aliona?

 

[Anya00]

Will the Olympic team announcement include who will be skating in the team event?

Valieva and Trusova - please see Shcherbakova's example, double-mask! You are a few weeks out from the Olympics, don't let getting sick derail the Olympics.

 

[flanker]

Sasha was too shy to take part

Valieva and Trusova - please see Shcherbakova's example, double-mask! You are a few weeks out from the Olympics, don't let getting sick derail the Olympics.

I was thinking the same too. Kudos for Anna for double-masking, she is a very a good role model. I think she was one of the few skaters who also did use a mask on their chartered plane to WC last spring, as I recall from selfies on the plane. She always seemed to have been careful regarding covid.

some "experts", who spoke yesterday about a possible replacement of Shcherbakova with Tuktamysheva, hastened to change their minds today. In particular, Ilya Averbukh, as well as Bettina Popova.
