2026 Russian Junior Nationals

I am almost caught up. I love Pleskacheva in 2nd! She has so much confidence and just awesome. So much looking forward to her senior career.

 

[lariko]

The first group of junior men has some lovely skating skills and more landed quads than JGPF...

Kolya out of shape

 

[lariko]

Yeah, not a great season finale for Kolesnikov. Sad, but Scherbakova is right. There is the next season.

 

[LadyB]

Davai Roman!

[LadyB]

No, it didn't come together. He looks like battling with growth spurts.

 

[flanker]

Oh, finally I have some time to watch boys.

 

[AlexBreeze]

No, it didn't come together. He looks like battling with growth spurts.

Two weeks ago he skated like this

 

[flanker]

Mark Lukin finally good skate.

 

[lariko]

Woo-hoo, hope Lukin made it this year!

You're right, he's only human.

 

[flanker]

German Lenkov very well done.

 

[AlexBreeze]

German has given up the 4Lz and decided to just skate clean.

Probably a right decision. Everything's rotated and clean. Aldar definitely doesn't have tech to beat that. But Gleb still has a chance.

Not the best skate from him presentation-wise probably. He had better ones this season. Also seemed to ditch some beautiful tano position. A little too focused today.

 

[LadyB]

It kills me that Gleb Kovtun is still a Junior - I've been watching him for a felt eternity
I love that song!

 

[LadyB]

Bravo, Gleb! Beautiful!

 

[flanker]

Huh, Sambuev will drop thanks to the fall.

 

[AlexBreeze]

Huh, Sambuev will drop thanks to the fall.

He wouldn't beat Gleb or German anyway.

 

[LadyB]

Beautiful song and performance! Maladyets, Aldar!

 

[AlexBreeze]

Enough for the national team! He's very happy.

Nice outcome after numerous misfortunes this season.
