News from SPb:

The ExCom of the St. Petersburg Figure Skating Federation at the meeting held on September 25 summarized the results of the pre-season Control Skates of the St. Petersburg national team. In general, the athletes of the team showed a good level of readiness, especially sports pairs and men pleased. However, some women, performing under the Master of Sports program, showed a low level of readiness. Female athletes - members of the team, who showed a low level of readiness, it was decided not to allow them to participate in the All-Russian competitions and to instruct them to perform at the 2nd stage of the Cup of St. Petersburg. The Coaching Council was instructed to reassess their readiness based on the results of their performance at the 2nd stage of the St. Petersburg Cup. The Executive Committee of the Federation, in case of repeated demonstration of low level of readiness by these athletes, on the recommendation of the Coaching Council will consider the issue of their exclusion from the St. Petersburg team.

On October 19-20 within the framework of the 2nd stage of the St. Petersburg Cup by the decision of the Executive Committee there will be Control Rolls of candidates for the national team for participation in the Final of the IV Spartakiade of Students (Youth) of Russia. All candidates for participation in the IV Spartakiade of Students (Youth) of Russia in singles, pairs skating and ice dancing will be called to the Control Rolls.

What does this even mean; I guess thy weren't fine with the jump content? Or who is this about/who's affected?
As much as I enjoy watching the men, most of them certainly didn't look "ready" to me. High level, yes, but obviously not yet in the best shape - so this cannot really be about being "ready"?

I think we're referring to figure skaters whose names we don't know. None of the skaters from the St. Petersburg team that we know of were scolded after the test skating. Gushchina, Frolova, Zakharova and Fursova were especially singled out. A lot of positive things were said about them.
It seems that the St. Petersburg Federation wants to organize something like the second test skates for girls at the second stage of the St. Petersburg Cup.
 
I heard in general that Kazakhstan doesnt like Russians representing them in sport.
This statement is true not only for Kazakhstan, to be honest :) But Kazakhstan does give preference to local athletes. However, I see quite a few athletes with Russian surnames representing Kazakhstan (usually they are natives)
 
Checking in after a trip abroad, I'm happy to see that the Voronov bros did well at the Raber and Pashkevich Memorials respectively. :rock:
I've also watched Roman Savosin's performance at Raber 👌👌👌
 
2nd stage SPB Cup

I'll be very busy this morning. In case I can't watch it properly, shout-out to the Kolpino girls (past and present). :hap10:

After the short program Agata Petrova is second.
Ivan Ramzenkov lost 3 points to Roman Hamzin, having made a mistake on the steps sequence, and took the second place after SP. Dmitriy Shelkovnikovov is 6th, Nikolai Loginov is 14th.

Andrei Mozalev decided that it is necessary to go to the competitions every week and entered the senior men's category.
 
I'm sorry but I noticed that Dobromir's Total Element Score shows invalid jumps for 3F3T and 2Lz2a2a. Does anyone know why this is happening? It caused him to give up at least 10 points or more

Im not sure why the 3F-3T was invalid I was confused about that but the 2lz-2A-2A was invalid due to the fact that in the 1st sport category you can only do 6 jump passes and that would be his 7th jump pass.

I think it might be because 3F-3T is his last jump. So he's missing an A jump. So no points for 3F-3T either. it's such a pity. This is probably the coach's problem
