2024 Russian National Championships for Boys and Girls (Senior Age), Kazan

[Skating91]

Disaster for Agata.

I did not expect that from Ponteleenko though.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Both Alisa's 3A and Nadezhda's first 4T were called clean, so congrats to both of them for managing to squeeze that achievement in at the very end of the season

And... again

Just like at junior nationals last season. The fall on the second 3Lz.

And instead of a medal, a place on the middle of the table.

She has that strange entry to her lutz she has it in the short program as well?

So sad for Liza, she landed a stunning 3A in warm-up. The pop was just too much in addition to the fall.

She is struggling with growth I think, but I never get tired of watching her jumps, even if not as great as they used to be. I hope she finds a way to continue (she can't move to train, and she has stated her family has limited resources)

 

[RussianFS]

So dramatical + nervous! And the highest level in the world!
The REAL World Championship! Congrats to Nadezhda, Alisa & Elena!

[Remilia]

Alright, back to sleep for me. Won't be watching the boys live, but good luck to Vadim!

 

[LadyB]

And now for the wonderful boys! Very much looking forward to it while being very nervous at the same time.

 

[Remilia]

Closing thought: Ponteleenko is so tiny and has such a cute voice. I would've never guessed she turns 15 next week. Great early bday present for her.

 

[LadyB]

Bad start! MUTE!!!

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Timofeiy!!!!

 

[LadyB]

Dobromiiiiiir! Hope he regains start of the season form. I'm sure he used the time to prepare well.

 

[LadyB]

The stationary camera during warm-up is rubbish.

 

[LadyB]

Davai, Dobromir baby!!!!!!

 

[LadyB]

Yes, son! That's the one

 

[LadyB]

And the nail biting continues!!! Vadim!

Finally caught up on ladies.

Valeria Sharapova's dress is stunning. Also love Maria's dress.

Favorite music from this event:
whatever Eva Zubkova was using and not a bad attempt at 3A!
And I liked whatever music Ruchina was using.

Favorite overall program (music/dress/skating):
Prineva, but ouch on that opening 4T

I just can't get over how young Lezina looks. She looks like a talented toddler in a preteens event!

2nd favorite overall program is Riana. beautiful dress and great program.

holy crap Lukashova went for 3 quads!

surprised Ponteleenko was 4th. I thought her program was really good.
At least she ended up on the podium overall.

Yurova's 3A was really good. But other than that, her program does nothing for me. I guess she was so high in rankings because she was clean, while girls like Lukashova and Prineva fell a lot.

 

[LadyB]

Davai Vadiiiiiim!!!

 

[LadyB]

Big Bro is upping the ante!
I have to say, I'm loving this programme.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Roma skated into second!!
