2023-24 Russian Grand Prix - Stage 4 - Kazan

Gleb will likely have 16 points... Must be enough to qualify to Nats from the last places.
I think Gleb will jump on the last wagon, last year guys with 14 points in 2 stages got a ticket to junior nats.
But, unfortunately, he is unlikely to get to the Spartakiade, where there are only 12 participants. 7 slots are already taken, 3 more slots will definitely be taken by Fedotov, Lazarev and Ramzenkov, two more will be taken by the winner and silver medalist of the stage in Samara, whoever they are. However, he will probably be the first in reserve, and who knows...

Hopefully Timofei will also have enough to score 14 points, but holy cow, I'm so proud of him, no matter what happens, he's really gotten close. He only scored 3 points last season.

I don't think Kamila or Sadkova announce the quad unless they will jump it. If Kamila falls on the first quad I think she will go 4T+2T straight after. She skates last so maybe she can be really conservative anyway if everyone falls apart. Let's see. There is no chance of Gorbacheva landing two quads, and Muravieva would have jumped a triple axel in the short if she had it restored. Makes no sense to leave it out of the short against Kamila.

It kind of does if you have restored it, but not to the consistency you want to have it at. In the Free, doing a solo 3A will give you TES boost, even if you fall, because it allows you to do a more beneficial layout, while in the Short a well-executed 2A will give you 2+ points more than a fall on a 3A (+3 GOE on 2A, deduction for fall, and PCS reduction).

Without the 3A, Mura would probably go for her old layout (2A, 2A, 3Lo, 3F+2T, 3Lz+3Tx, 3F+1Eu+3Sx, 3Lzx - BV 63.11 with all level 4s), with a single 3A she could do 3A, 2A, 3Lo, 3S, 3Lz+3T+2Ax, 3F+3Tx, 3Lz+2Tx. (BV 69.91). If everything else is clean, this layout easily buffers even a fall on the 3A.

Now, whether she has actually restored it is another question, I'm just saying that it is still beneficial to go for it in the Free even when the landing rate might not be high enough for it to be beneficial in the Short 😅

Sounds more like a wish
Nah, the precedent, since pretty much every jr. man who was reportedly training quads around 10-11! went thorugh it, some with a career ending consequences, others still struggling. But, his projected eww in personality sure doesn't make him easy to root for, and neither is the shady school he represents.

Does anyone know the piece of music that Anastasia Mukhortova/Dmitri Evgeniev used for their short?
 
Yes, so the joints will start crushing next year or thereabouts. Boys of that age can't do quads and remain healthy.
I pointed his age not only because of the potential injuries in near future, but also because of the way you talk about his personality. I find it a bit harsh for someone who just turned 14. He's still a kid and this is not his final form.

This reminds me why ISU had to close the chat of JGPs streams after Samsonov debuted.

What flat edge??

No, in the warm up I posted that comment.
 
If Kamila lands the 4T and wins gold today, is it too early to declare she survived as a skater into adulthood, and that her coaching team can succeed with mature female skaters?

I cannot imagine her growing much more, she's virtually an adult in terms of build (most adult skaters are a lot smaller than her in height and/or build), she has a very mature style of skating.

Kamila in life is really very dense with feminine forms, even denser than Alina Zagitova, who finished her career. It is hard to assume that she tortures her body with heavy diets. At the same time, she has retained her jumps and even her quads. I completely agree that even at 17 she can be considered a mature figure skater.
The last figure skater of the same age and similar level in this team was Elisabeth Tursynbaeva, but she has a naturally fragile physique. Alina at this age was slimmer and was already looking towards the show, although she was winning award after award. How things will go for Kamila is still unclear.
 
One of my sons won silver in the junior men, I'm thrilled! :jump:
who's your son? mascotte of the forum immediately! congrats! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:(wait a moment, real son or like my children? ahahah try to understand me i have foggy memories of yesterday)
 
Huzzah! I thought the lads would be starting too late for me to watch live, but they're not. :)

I see Danill! Good luck to him!
