2022-23 Cup of Russia - Final - St. Petersburg

Eduard went for three quads, and did two of them. Kirill had step outs out of both Axels, Kolya L did 3A+2T and then a lot of mistakes. Andrei tripled his 4S and doubled his 3A (it leaded to three 2As). Fedya landed shaky 3A, other jumps were shaky too, he fell from the 3Lo+REP.

So a bit of a mixed bag so far, but overall not too bad for Jr men?

I think Plushy (and the fed) knows that his skaters were not undermarked at nats. Plushy spoke because he wants the same unapologetic support that camps like khrustalnyi or CSKA in its time receveid. Since his skaters are doing the hardest layouts in juniors and have the strongest potential, he thinks they should get cosmic PCS and GOEs even when they do mistakes. The message fed is sending is imo "close your boca and earn it". He doesn't have a special achievement yet to get that kind of support.
Honestly, if it had been another coach, with no reputation, fed would have punished them personally. But since they can't touch him, they touch his skaters.

When CSKA especially Khrustalanyi when they were emerging, Rusfed was desperate to have competitive skaters to compete in the international scene so It made sense to back them up especially when they are showing results especially when the international judges are drooling to what they are showing. Now there are 4-5 girls who can jumps comparative to those two who can even beat them out in PCS.

Just look at Zhilina's international junior events. Despite jumping quads the International judges were not going gaga over her.

Nika has only competed internationally once, and I'd actually say the judges did seem to like her quite a bit - I think she had the third-highest PCS of any of the junior girls internationally last season (Akatieva and Muravieva had higher PCS), and the second-highest score of the Jr girls.

This rink is a bit narrower than usual. Lev said yesterday that he hadn't done the 3A because of the boards. It looks like the same thing happened today.
