2024-25 Russian Local Events – Discussion

Diana delivered well, her best skate of the season. Pity she (and her sister) did not do this well at the more important competitions.
 
BTW she skates as 8th girl, and 4 girls already delivered at least one successful quad. That's the level of Russian girls.
 
I feel like Masha needs to switch to moscow region like a lot of AOP students have, she is a very good skater but clearly moscow is too stacked for her.

IMO she should leave AoP. she has never shone properly there for several years already. But I heard her parents are Plushy's friends so it is not very probable she would leave.

Well, when Masha came to AoP at the age of 12, she was hardly even in the conversation for anything. She was still doing planned doubles in the Free at that point and lots of easy triples, and I doubt people were expecting her to ever get a semi-consistent quad. So I don't think they won't leave just because her parents are friends but because this genuinely has worked out better than they probably ever thought it would with a different coach.

Either way, even under a different coach & once she moves to Seniors, it still would make sense for her to represent a different region. Moscow City has a lot of strong schools with talented skaters and coaches in Women's singles, more than any other region.
 
It wasn't bad skate at all but poor Valeria is very sad because of two mistakes. :(
