2025 Russian Junior Nationals

Good effort from Kotova. They put the bow and arrow motif in there a few times I saw her raise a sword as well I suppose she is playing a warrior character in this program. I thought she had better tech though I didn't expect the solo 3T.
 
Every boy in Tutberidze team ends up exactly the same at exactly that age. Their joints just cannot take the overtraining she loads on them. I was telling everyone it would happen to Fedotov as well. Because every single one, and none of them yet fully recovered.
He wasn't this bad.
 
For me VLC has been smooth on a Firestick, but the past two days have been the only time it has been smooth all season (I suppose less people watch juniors).

Yesterday I initially tried to watch on the website directly, but it was just stuttering and stopping (that has been fine most of the year but it's awkward to use).

For senior competition I've just been using Rubtube now which has been great.

It's nothing to do with your internet connection, the VLC stream and Channel 1 has generally been unreliable for me.
I will also try Rutube then
 
TBH I am not so worried about this skate for her. Shes clearly one to wait for seniors, not a junior peaker. I see the Kamila comparison now with the leg work. The needle spin is exquisite. She will be incredible when she is older I hope she is well aware of that and this doesnt get to her.

It's the same for most boys. That's why it's rare for them to win anything around 18 (contrary to the girls), they're mostly winning in 20+, after the growth phase is behind them.

Malinin in his 15 was nowhere close to the top, lots of injuries. Dikidji who is a current Russian champ had to skate in juniors until 19 as he was very inconsistent etc.
