Looks like the approach is to actually compete as much as possible, then! I really hope this will be streamed. And I also really hope she does better with her FS this time... For oher confidence's sake too, it would be very important for her to get a clean skate.
Anna can not be in main part of Junior team, she has not JGP medals and is not in Top 6 of JrNats. Only reserve juniors or "boys, girls". So no chance of funding.
But she needs to be in national team to be treated as pretender to JGP Events.
"On prizes of Tsaikovskaia" - to train before qualifiers to Elder Age, to qualify to Elder Age will not be easy this time - 6 spots and much more than 6 strong pretenders in Moscow.

Are you sure she does hers though? Eteri decides on everything.
Besides, I haven't seen the warmup stream, but somebody (Shayuki?) wrote in competition thread she was jumping well - maybe she's not in such bad physical state and nerves played the role?
Are you sure not every member of national team is funded? I've never heard of something like "main junior team" with special funding, tbh.
Still no date of these, besides laconic "February" on fskate.ru.

Here are all her jumps that were captured on camera during her FS warm up. She also clearly made some off screen ones - we can't be sure about their success.Are you sure she does hers though? Eteri decides on everything.

I think that if she can land all those combos(and more) within the span of ~4 minutes, it's a pretty good sign even though the free skate itself was a disaster for her.

I heard she skated FS clean twice on the training before competition with 3Lz3T3T! So I am sure it was nerves!

Before the stream ended, I managed to hack saving a piece of a live stream from the middle.

I only now managed to watch this.
Overall... I still think her very first SP was clearly her best skate after her comeback. She really struggled with the jumps here once again. Something I find completely bizarre about the protocol is the ! on the Lutz. She doesn't flutz, and the edge looked fine to me. In fact, I thought that the Flip would have been called if anything. Again she had some very nice jumps during her warm up that she also seemed to rotate better so I have to wonder if it's just not her being used to the competitions or if it's the fact that she backloads so much... Do all 3 jumps really have to be after the 2 minute mark even for the SP, for a skater who has just come back from injury?
In any case, I really really hope that she can finally have a clean FS here.

I don't really understand protocols yet, so I would be thankful if anyone could tell me what this B at the last section (LSp4) means? It says B = an element got bonus (1.00) but still, when and why is it given? I haven't seen it before.
PS I just saw that almost all girls got an edge call on their flip/lutz, so I guess the technical judging was quite harsh. Although I thought too that hers was fine. She has one of the better lutzes among her teammates.

I'm not happy to write this, but I need to: if Eteri somehow "manages" to waste the physical talent of Anna's magnitude, I'll lose all the respect to her as a coach. Because she has everything there: time, resources, psychological comfort of having other team leaders and what's maybe most important - Anna's passion for the sport and no-nonsense attitude.
She also has ton of experience and could consult her team, doctors, etc.. - it can't be first time they've been dealing with girls of more fragile body composition. It obvious, that training burden has to be diversified between skaters depending on physical capabilities.
Week ago, I've read the interview of some experienced Russian national coach on sports.ru, saying openly that Zhenya's foot injury is caused by stress and undoubtfully a coaching mistake regarding training burden. Just saying. :scowl:
I'm not condemning or even judging anybody yet - just patiently observing how things are going and hoping for the best.
Good luck Anna and Eteri!

tars, Everything you wrote is just,...... sounds silly. sorry... but it's.
It's really folly to expect the same level of performance and the same shape after the injury. She missed 9 months of any competitions. It's a lot.
It will take time to catch up with her teammates. She needs to build her shape and confidence back. And it always takes time. TIME and a lot of competitions.

The bonus just exists at Russian events for Junior skaters...maybe for Novice too. I think if they achieve level 4 on their spins they receive a bonus. I’m not 100% certain but I know it’s something designed to encourage hitting all of the levels on spins for the younger skaters.
