I think Sarafanova's 4LZ had been called as downgraded on every attempt she's ever done...Can't really see the jump working out for her in the longterm
Will be interesting to see how things shake out in the fs

Yes:

Daria Pavliuchenko in the technical panel of the younger men category.



Another familiar person: the lady in the blue jacket looks like Aleksandra Kozlova - a former skater, now the main coach of Ekaterina Anisimova and some decent novices.

 

[Mathematician]

Yes:

I'm so confused looking at these scorecards. Whats the format of this tournament? What is "elements"? Has nobody skated their FS yet? I click on FS scorecards and it just shows these cards without any PCS or other elements.

They haven't skated their free yet, thats on Friday.

Elements portion is an additional segment that exist in the younger age novice nats and its qualifiers as well as some other novice competition like Volkov Memorial.

Skaters preform 2 solo jump and 2 combos of which only 1 of each gets counted as well as 1 spin and a stsq. The combined points of those gets added to the the skaters overall score.

Yes, as was stated above by @Mariiiiskate . Some more info about the organization: Skaters do jumps first, first they do two solo jump attempts, then two combo attempts, of which the better one is counted. Then when all perform jumps, they perform step sequence and spin. These elements are evaluated as they are in normal programs. The total score for elements is doubled at the end.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Novice ice dancers also have three segments. And not only at some competitions but at all of them.

Link for today's stream: https://vkvideo.ru/video-227199186_456239201

Today's program is younger girls SP and older boys free skates.

 

[flanker]

I only know Eteri skaters today:
Alisa Eren, Polina Boreysha and Arina Cherkashina.

I am familiar with some other names but only names.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Yeah, but that's not unusual, and most wouldn't be surprised by this. Almost all Novice competitions (national & international) have two pattern dance segments and the Free Dance (with the exception of a few French domestic competitions).

 

[flanker]

Alisa Eren is a talent, I hope she will develop and fulfill her potential.

 

[flanker]

Ksenia Stadnichuk from Panova took the first place, narrowly over Eren. Slightly lower TES but higher PCS. Quite elegant girl reminding Ksenia Sinitsyna or Lidia Pleskacheva.

 

[flanker]

Arina Cherkashina good too, goes to third place.

 

[flanker]

But Dontsova from CSKA, elegant girl, though with a mistake on 3F goes over her thanks to high components.

 

[flanker]

There were several promising girls in a row now.

 

[flanker]

Even without backloading the combo Boreysha achieved the highest TES.

 

[LadyB]

I'm so glad that Dobromir could push himself up after Elements.

 

[LadyB]

Tyoma Belousov loves his slides

 

[flanker]

Zhurakhovsky delivered well.

 

[flanker]

Dobromir Voronov landed 4Lz (though I'm not sure about full rotation), 3A and 3A+2A+2A!
