2024 Channel One Cup

Petrosyan, Mura and co can't even benefit from the age raise in peace. Instead of competing in seniors intl while Akateva, Bazylyuk and co would have been blocked in juniors and advanced novices, they have to get beaten by them in domestic comps. Multiples times.
 
They kind of low ball Margarita to keep it close.

Letting 12 year olds with insane content compete with seniors (or even juniors) isn't right. Those seniors earned the right over many years to a fair fight.
 
Gorbacheva complete disaster, should be in prime at her age. Feel like next season will be crucial for her - whether she was one year wonder or becomes established Russian lady skater.
 
Kudos to Alina for shrugging off the falls, but they both looked bad. I hope she is allright. :frown:

I mean the difference is only as massive as it is because they're still drastically improving each generation. In the olden days, the little kids wouldn't be jumping anything much different from Seniors. The Senior would win because of artistry with the jumps being relatively the same. Right now we have a jumping revolution going on that improves with each successive generation, so the gap is super wide right now because of that, not because of age.

She relied on small body weight for her jumps, grew a little and lost them. It will probably be worse for her next year. Dysfunctional living situation would not help her. She should try to change federations that's her best chance of continuing.
