I think the quads will last for Vika-she has the same long legs as Kamila, and uses them like a pole vault (as Kamila does). And her 3A is one of the best I've seen-big and strong.

She just has IMO some uncertainty or troubles with self-confidence, to some level she reminds me Dasha Sadkova. But today it was positive that after the first fall she was able to perform the rest of the program clean (before she often melted when first jump was a fall). Otherwise her technique is good, her jumps are high and strong.

I've watched Riana at Tatarstan championships. She looked fine, no pops, falls, step-outs. Just several URs in the second half.

Ulyana Vasilieva (Panova girl) had very good skate some moments ago at Mordovskye Uzory.

Some decent girls free skates at Mordovskye Uzory, Ekaterina Koltsova and Ulyana Vasilieva namely, but also others.

Koltsova also won Union Cup in Belarus several days ago. Sadly, no video archived.

Thankfully the stream from the event is still on youtube so it can be posted with timestamp.

We are starting with Daria Kurdyumova (Konyok Chaikovskoi).

Valeria Litvincheva delivered a solid skate.

 

[flanker]

So in the first group only Valeria was top skater. In the second group there are Korchazhnikova and Stotskaya from Eteri. I don't know the other four.

 

[flanker]

Katya Korchazhnikova very nice and decent skate. But her TES seems dropping. 2A had little unstable landing, maybe there was UR.

 

[flanker]

Ekaterina Stotskaya good, but more energy was missing for such kind of a program.

 

[flanker]

Two groups done, Arina Parsegova and Anna Dokukina are probably the biggest names in the next one.

 

[flanker]

Nika Maskaikina solid skate but some smaller mistakes here and there.

 

[flanker]

Alisa Chistyakova delivered a very solid skate.

 

[flanker]

Arina Parsegova was judged quite harsh IMO. Still solid result. Dokukina did well. She goes first!

 

[flanker]

The girl who just skated is Maria Shinkarenko, I wonder if she's a relative to ice dancer Alexandra Shinkarenko.

 

[flanker]

Polina Solntseva did well, she goes into first place.

Nice skate by Alisa Zaikina (CSKA).
