2025-26 Russian Junior Grand Prix - Stage 4 - Kazan

[AlexBreeze]

Best skate from S/S I've seen in many time. Probably Nats are possible.

 

[Mathematician]

Are you guys actually tracking key points in real time?

 

[AlexBreeze]

Bukin seems to love the program.

 

[Mathematician]

That jacket is much too large for him. I however love the program.

Better skate for Tretyakova/Samokurov this time around Still some work to be done to clean up some of those elements, but progress can be seen.

That's beyond my skills.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Changes to the entries I wasn't able to mention before:

Women: Adelina Kamalova and Valeria Lukashova WD, replaced by Arina Parsegova and Amalia Nasybullina
Men: Platon Kablukov WD, replaced by Iskander Amirov

I really enjoyed them in Igora in July but they just can't do everything clean in competition yet.

Gude/Rud looked good (apart from the sbs spins, those were a wee bit off). Some GOEs felt a little low (like on the throw?), but I feel like I'll just have to give up trying to make sense of scoring this season - In Russia or internationally.

 

[AlexBreeze]

I like matured D/V. But I'm afraid they end up like Cheremnykh/Butenko.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Domozhirova/Vegera did so well, really happy for them

 

[flanker]

Guseva/Ovchinninikov technically impressive.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I remember this tiny gal & I think this program from last season (Novice Nats?). Very solid skate, well done

Guseva/Ovchinninikov technically impressive.

That split twist...wow. But she is sooo tiny. my goodness.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

I remember this couple, because I was confused about the connection of the outfits to the music Shame about the fall on the throw, but not a bad skate otherwise. No disasters in the Short so far.

 

[flanker]

Dvinina/Potapov pity about the fall, though that was maybe the most delicate and soft fall in pair skating I have ever seen

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Issues with the 2A again, for Cousins/Bregey. Hopefully, they got that out of their system now and will skate this clean when it matters.

 

[flanker]

Kasins/Bregei good job too.

Whole pair competition was very solid, junior pairs in Russia are above any junior level outside.

Exactly this time it looked like a coincidence. Like her blade got stuck on the landing.

I see that Lera Lukashova was replaced by Arina Parsegova.
