2025-26 Russian Local Events – Discussion

Senior test skates take place in SPB on 26-29 September, but junior test skates were not announced.
Wow, so late. I thought they would set it earlier. So Adeliia gets a test before her qualification. So I guess the qualification is the test skates for her.

BTW the revealed calendar does not contain jumping tournament at all:
If the juniors are banned again, who cares. Imagine jumping tournament without Bazyluk, Kostyleva, and now STRELTSOVA. Garbage!

There might be a lot of withdrawals as usual. Skaters from the national team don't have to compete there to get the spots but may show up to have a practice.

Some news based on the list:
Sofia Zakharova is coming back after a missed season.
Eva Zubkova has moved up to seniors and switched to Rukavicin. I remind that she has a 3A.
Arina Kudlai has moved up to seniors and switched to SPb, the coach is Davydenko.
Maria Pulina has switched to SPb, the coach is Chebotareva.
That is crazy stacked!

I can't wait to see Kisileva and Kshetskaya even if the national team girls WD :biggrin:

And there is also Moscow championships next week, there is no list of participants yet but naturally it will be stacked a lot among KMS girls.

I still see no results table for SPb. But I found the starting lists so I've updated participants in the OP.
 
Karpuk/Khvalko are a new pair, but they looked great. Nice side-by-side 3S.
Moskaleva/Rodzyanov look very grown up, had a few errors but also a huge 3FTh.
