Same issue from Canada. No VPN active.Is anyone able to access the scoreboard and protocol PDFs for this event...?
Всероссийские соревнования памяти ЗТР И.Б.Ксенофонтова - Федерация фигурного катания на коньках России
17-19 апреля 2026 годаfsrussia.ru
I get an error page saying that I'm using a VPN, even though I'm not. (So maybe it's just because I'm outside of Russia.)
Double standards are obvious. And here comes another wasted season...A take on the ban that I think many of us would agree with:

There are no wasted figure skating seasons. Every new cycle of skaters we get to watch perform is a gift we do not deserve at all.
Dzepka right now is better than Valieva at any point since December 2022. Valieva did not produce much after the age of 16.
. I'm not hopeful.
I sort of agree with what you're saying. As for no Valieva without Eteri, that's pretty obvious at this point, but let's at least give her a chance until test skates. Her showings since getting unbanned have been objectively bad though. Hopefully she at least reaches a solid level by real competition time.Dzepka right now is better than Valieva at any point since December 2022. Valieva did not produce much after the age of 16.
I think I was still sipping the Valieva kool aid back in that 2023-24 season, while she was very solid in her short program, the free skate when I watch it now -- I feel embarrassed for her. I don't know how the skating skills can be higher than the 7's. It's just so slow. She gives up every time she performs it as well.
Valieva's skating skills have declined even more since before the ban. I find everything so sloppy about her skating now. She has wonderful elements in isolation (except her jumps), but everything in general wild, hurried and out of control. Maybe it's the fault of her new coaches? Under Eteri every movement was refined and had purpose (at least they tried to do that with the Black Panther program it was just horribly choreographed and Valieva no longer had the skill/fitness to perform the intricate parts of it).
What Dzepka is accomplishing without someone like Eteri breathing down her neck is extraordinary.
There would be no Valieva without Eteri.
I hope Valieva turns it around, but the ban expired 6 months ago, she has probably been performing in shows for nearly two years now (at least since July 2024). So it wasn't a true ban she only had 6 months off ice (and even then she probably hired rinks to practice)
Mishin didn't do much for her, and has had no real recent success with women (Liza peaked late in her career but she skated small and lived and died by those tiny triple axels). What now for Mishin he just focuses on Petrova who has not improved imo since she was 13 (she was at a relatively high level at 13).Mishin kicked Muravieva out of his group...
It looked like she was improving. She arguably had the best women's SP with flawless execution. FS performances slowly getting more consistent... I wonder what's next for her now.
Lesik said that Plushenko kicked her out of his group for "analogous reasons". Not sure if he's saying that it's just analogous cause the trainers made the decision, or the actual reason for that decision is the same.
No way she goes to Eteri, right? I don't think she'd last there. Fedchenko...? Mikhailov works with her, so...
Man, I miss Gorbacheva. She moved worse than nobody but Adeliia. Actually, she might even use her torso better. I really hope she comes back soon. Even without the quad, she could be one of my favourites and so unique. Best glide in the world for sure.
Mishin only gave a comment after the news appeared in the media. Not before.
Agata's coaches are Samodurova, Sesganov and T. Mishina.
I don't think Mishin is lying. It sounds like Plushenko was the one who kicked her out too. I thought it was the other way around. Not a good look overall for her...
Don't worry if she doesn't find a coach soon I'll step up. Send her to Canada.
Kostyleva will be skating Bolero SP
