[AlexBreeze]

Preliminary entries are based on the results of the Russian Grand Prix series. But members of the main roster of the national team have a right to be invited if they missed the series due to health reasons.

In ice dance, Arina Gorshenina & Ilya Makarov have missed the series due to Arina's injury. But they are not intended to appear at Nationals.

In women's, Elizaveta Andreeva has missed the series. There is no official information about reasons and her current shape.

In men's and pairs, there are no skaters with a right to get a bye.

 

[Mathematician]

Could be women's event of the season depending on how RGPF will go. If senior ladies can earn redemption.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Official entries are up!!

The only change is Zlata Kamalova & Danil Panov WD, Viktoria Dvinina & Viktor Potapov added.

 

[flanker]

I am curious how Arina will manage to handle competing in two categories.

 

[lariko]

Omigosh, I forgot it's next weekend. Can't wait!

 

[katymay]

So excited. I'll miss Andreeva, how she will make it back next year. It is going to be on YouTube? Oustanding.

 

[lariko]

Glad it's on YouTube as well, I might peek a few times tomorrow from work to see how things are unfolding. Are they actually making Kostyleva skate? That seems unwise, but everything surrounding her is completely bonkers...

 

[Skating91]

Kostyleva is only going to continue growing look at the size of her mother, and does not have the mentality to be a long term champion. Plushenko ruined her with money from shows and expensive gifts for doing nothing.

I'm quite impressed by how she still jumps, but so much energy goes into those jumps now that she has grown a lot. Maybe she will maintain that triple axel into seniors but it's telegraphed and wouldn't be given much GOE at an international competition, maybe keeps one quad, but she still can't listen to the music and no work has gone into her skating in couple of seasons now.

She's stuck with Plushenko too who only ruins talent, and no-one else will ever take her on.

I will be interesting to see where Bazyluk is at, not long ago it seemed like Bazyluk and Kostyleva would dominate for years.

 

[lariko]

delete.

I don't know you ppl like you keep parroting this. It's starting to sound like wishful thinking, as if Irina is not in her late 50s and given birth twice. There is a picture of her in her 20s or 30s after having her 1st daughter, and she is thin there. It's perfectly normal for women to gain weight and keep it after multiple child births + menopause
Anyway, you should keep up, cause they've already been working on a new, better entrance for the 3A

thank you for posting a civilized response, I couldn't manage one, heh.

Lena is already quite tall I think she would be taller than senior skaters like Alisa. But I suppose you never know look at how tall Valieva is and she has the best quad on Earth with no training for two years at nearly age 20.

However, Lena is approaching the same age as Valieva at her peak and it looks very hard for Lena. All energy goes into those jumps (she does a great job though). Still, Lena is exciting. Has a natural charisma about her. I'm not confident at all about her long term prospects hopefully she proves me wrong. It will be hard to succeed with Plushenko coaching her.

Well, there's no point in being at your peak at 15 when the senior age has been raised to 17 and the next Olympics are 4 years away Lena is currently around 4'10 (might have grown since last month). I wouldn't expect to grow to be any taller than 5'3, but who knows.
Anyway, I saw that her ankle is bandaged, so I'm not expecting her to win here. Hopefully she can just get on the podium, then we can worry about next season and puberty.

I just going to cheer for the young skaters and hope they have bright futures

I think her 3A is more laboured than the quads.

I think Kamila is around 5'4. Is it especially tall for a skater?

Lena is currently around 4'10

Where did you get that from? I would have assumed she is shorter than this.

Kami is definitely taller than 5'4. Probably about 5'6
As for Lena, I was actually misremembering it, but early last month when she rejoined AoP, she said she's 150cm, so 4'11. Good chance she's grown a bit since then and is 5'0 now. In pictures from the draw today, you can see she is taller than Streltsova when just a few months ago they were the same height

 

[Skating91]

I think she said 167cm a while ago, yes that is tall.

 

[Mathematician]

I went back and looked at some photos from the jumping championships. She was a little taller than Mark it seems. Too bad I didn't see anything of her next to the other girls. Will be really interesting to see her on some podiums next season to compare.
