2025-26 Russian Junior Grand Prix - Stage 1 - Moscow

[Mathematician]

at least one 3+3 combo and then will be serious contender for medals.

Solo 3T as well. There is a good amount of work ahead of Mariam if she wants medals.

Vasilisa's jumps remind me of someone, but I can't quite put my finger on who exactly? Great skate, apart from one pop.
(Not sure what was up with the tech box, though, I sure hope she got more than 0 GOE for some of those elements. Edit. Apparently not, her TES didn't change after.)

A lot of these lower level girls have great jump technique and spins, but the artistic gap is still huge. Makes me think a lot of the money and reputation in elite camps goes to choreographers, dance coaches, and such supplementary things.

Apparently, Lokteva is also a gymnast, but not RG.

yes, plus many top skaters pay extra choreo lessons separately.

Astashenkova gave better impression in the free than in the SP.

Nice skate by Ulyana Vasilieva, imo underscored a little.

Soloviov being shocked by women's planned program content after not watching FS for 10 years.

I'm sure he was at least roughly aware of the state of things

Sometimes he sounds absolutely unaware.

Sometimes he sounds absolutely unaware.

Hes clearly just farming talking points with the others. The 6 minutes are basically a Shcherbakova interview, which I'm not complaining about.

Alisa Gorislavskaya did well technically but the program was too childish for me.

I didn't mean this exactly conservation though.

I wouldn't mind never seeing it again.

I mean this was a program for 10 year old girl, not 14. Or maybe we are getting spoiled by the level of Russian girls that we expect mature programs from kids too much?

Sofias squad is starting. Good one by Sofia Fedotova.

Diana Milto delivered 4S+2T, unfortunately fell from second 4S.

 

[Mathematician]

Argh, being a Diana fan is hard. This must be how Gorbacheva fans feel.

At least, she looks to be doing well enough to have a good chance at Nats, which is what really matters. It could be much worse.

Both sisters are beautiful but very unstable skaters.

 

[AlexBreeze]

How did she manage to maintain the balance on this 4T landing?
