The Personal Best and Season Best scores that the ISU uses for a skater only take into consideration certain competitions. For example, they do not take into consideration domestic competitions, such as Sectional, Regional or National Championships.

The table below takes into consideration all the events that the skater has taken part in. These scores are referred to as “Absolute Personal Best” and “Absolute Season’s Best” so as to distinguish them from the scores recorded by the ISU.

I was just looking through the entries for today's Sarajevo Open, and noticed that Polina Ustinova is competing in Junior Ladies and Daniella Ipsarides is competing in Advanced Novice Ladies.

Entries/ Results Page:
http://www.ksbih.ba/SO2016/index.htm

EDIT: There is a Livestream, but the quality leaves a LOT to be desired:

http://ski.ba/#!/extra-streams/Zetra​

Polina will be the second to start the SP in her category, which starts at 12:05 CET (11:05 GMT).

Daniella is the 11th to start the SP in her category, which is actually second in the final group (Group 3). It started at 08:00 CET (07:00 GMT), so is actually over now.

ALL THE BEST GIRLS!!!

Just wanted to update you on how Daniella Ipsarides and Polina Ustinova got on in Sarajevo.

Unfortunately, Daniella has been very sick for the past 2 weeks. She has been bedridden with a high fever. So, although she did take part in the Advanced Novice Ladies competition (her first of the season), she was not able to perform to her usual standard.

Daniella finished 12th in each segment, and 12th overall. But, considering how sick she has been, she did VERY well.

2016 Sarajevo Open Advanced Novice Ladies SP: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Advanced Novice Ladies FS: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Advanced Novice Ladies: Overall Results

In the SP, she got a half-point deduction for a fall. Now, this was very unfortunate, as half a point was exactly the distance she was behind Croatian skater Iva GLIGORA at the end of the SP. Iva had a fall in the FS to balance things up on that count.

Daniella was definitely the skater that suffered most by having both segments held on the same day. She was in the final group to skate in the SP, and the first skater to go in the FS. This would have been tough for somebody who was fully healthy, never mind somebody in Daniella’s position. She did put up a valiant fight, but Iva did enough in the FS to hold onto the position.

On the plus side, Daniella did get to meet Liza:

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=1d0d7310f9f82a974bcded7560965f23&oe=572B6EE7



In Junior Ladies, Polina also had consistent placings. She was 6th in each segment, and 6th overall.

2016 Sarajevo Open Junior Ladies SP: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Junior Ladies FS: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Junior Ladies: Overall Results

For the whole competition, Polina was in a fight with Croatian skater Valentina MIKAC over 6th and 7th positions. After the SP, there was only 1.36 points between them. Polina was unfortunate to be the first to skate in the FS, and she had a fall. But, when Valentina came on, she had a fall too. So, it balanced things up, and Polina finished ahead of her in the FS by 1.12 points.

So, all the best to the girls in their next competition.

Χρόνια πολλά Daniella!!!

Just wanted to take this opportunity to wish a Happy 14th Birthday to Daniella Ipsarides.

I hope you have had an enjoyable day, and that the next year is a good one for you, both on and off the ice!

All the best

Next competition for Daniella Ipsarides was Sofia Trophy in Bulgaria, results here:

http://clubdenkovastaviski.com/SofiaTrophy/SofiaTrophy-2016/NonISU/CAT002EN.HTM

Thank you so much, Liud.

I had seen photos of Daniella from the Sofia Trophy, but could not find her in the results. But now I know why - I was looking at the Entries / Results Page for the ISU competition, not realising that there was a separate Entries / Results Page for the younger levels.

Curious how she was competing at Basic Novice Level at this competition when she normally competes at Advanced Novice. Must have stricter rules on ages in Bulgaria.

Bearing in mind that this was only a few days after the Sarajevo Open, and so she was still not fully healthy, Daniella finished 7th. BUT, she had no falls and was just 2.5 points behind the girl in 5th.

There were actually lots of girls representing Cyprus that I had never come across before competing in the even younger age levels. Including one girl with a very Irish name! (Must be an ex-pat). So, I will have to keep an eye out for her and the other girls in the future.

All the non-ISU results from the Sofia Trophy can be found here:

http://clubdenkovastaviski.com/SofiaTrophy/SofiaTrophy-2016/NonISU/index.htm

And next competition for Polina Ustinova was Olympic Hopes in Brasov, results here:

https://e6a6d83a214ea77865e67a50ad5...ltNlIzbDNEY1U/OLYMPIC HOPES 2016/CAT012RS.HTM

Mmmm. So Polina U had a fall in each segment. But, she still finished 2nd in the SP and 4th in the FS, which meant she won the silver medal!!!

And I just spotted that Giorgia Isabella Secchi was also competing in the Junior competition. She finished 6th in the SP and 7th in the FS, which meant she finished 7th overall. Giorgia had one fall, in the FS.

Also, given that she is half Romanian, I am not surprised to see that Danae Hadjimitsi was also competing in Brasov, in the Advanced Novice competition. She was 2nd in each segment, and so won the silver medal. She had 1 point of deductions for falls.

All the results from the Olympic Hopes can be found here:

https://e6a6d83a214ea77865e67a50ad5...PRFltNlIzbDNEY1U/OLYMPIC HOPES 2016/index.htm

[CaroLiza_fan]

Thanks for the recent updates, Liud.

By the way, Daniela Ipsarides was also competing at the weekend. She was competing as a guest skater in the Greek Championships (for more, see this thread)

Results PDF (in mixture of Latin and Greek characters):
http://www.eox.gr/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/results-2016.pdf

Daniela was not included in the results table because she was a guest skater. But, she did very well in what was her debut competition at Junior level...

SHE WON THE COMPETITION!!!

Daniela will again be competing at Junior level at the Cypriot Championships in 2 weekend's time.

I will update the results tables at the start of this thread after Nationals are over.

ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!!

CaroLiza_fan

 

[Liud]

Uhm sorry..
But I'm just being curious, can you win the competition without having any points? and how can you win the competition if you are "not included in the results"?

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Uhm sorry..
But I'm just being curious, can you win the competition without having any points? and how can you win the competition if you are "not included in the results"?

Daniela won because got the highest score in the competition. :agree:

But the score is not being published in the results sheet because she was there as a guest skater. She was invited to compete so that the local skater would have somebody to gauge herself against. Just like we had with the Cypriot Championships last season, when there were a whole pile of Russian skaters competing in the very young age levels.

For Daniela, doing the Greek Championships was a chance to have a trial run at doing a competition at the new level before her own Nationals. It is never good to have a competition that matters (such as your Nationals) as the first competition at a new level. You like to do another competition or 2 beforehand to get experience in competition conditions. But, with there not being any internationals in SE Europe at this time of year, this was the only opportunity to do so.

So, Daniela being there was was good for both girls.

[Liud]

Aha I see, thank you for the explanation

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Back from my travels, and one of the first things I did when I put on the computer was to look up the results on the Cypriot Championships.

I have written a summary of what happened in the following post in the event thread:

http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sh...629-May-2016&p=1441288&viewfull=1#post1441288

But, since I already highlighted that competition in my previous comment, I will add here that the Junior Ladies did go the way I was kinda expecting it to...

Daniella-Vanessa Ipsarides won the Junior Ladies title at her first attempt!!!!!!

Two wins in her first 2 competitions at Junior level! This is looking promising...!

By the way, the Entries / Results Pages for the past four editions of the Cypriot Championships are now back up on the CSF website, and can be accessed from the folowing index page:

Well, maybe we could have some more talk about music videos.

Here is yet another roof ladder pic:

Anna climbing up ladder to Kristina

Shortly after my last post, Kristina and Anna travelled to Verona:

Kristina and Anna by the riverside

Not sure where this next photo was taken. The photo is tagged as Orenburg, but I don't know if it was taken there, or if it was just where Anna was when she uploaded it.

Kristina and Anna in front of a door

And this one (from Kristina's vKontakte) was not tagged:

I could link to lots more photos on Kristina's vKontakte. But, enough of the photos. Here is the finished video:

Well, Polina Ustinova's Free Skate did mean she climbed up from her 27th after the Short Programme.

Polina finished 26th out of 28 in the Ladies FS at the Cup Of Mordovia, with a score of 36.90.

This meant that she finished 26th overall, with a total score of 58.31.

Meanwhile, Daniella Vanessa Ipsarides will be making her Junior Grand Prix debut today at the Ljubljana Cup.

Hence my new avatar of her with Liza Tuktamysheva:

Full-sized version

The photo was taken when they both competed in the Sarajevo Open in February 2016.

And, here is some Fan Art that I made to mark the occasion:

Is Daniella Ipsarides or Ipsaridou? The way you spell it or the way its written in the isu profile?

Her last name seems to me to be greek and not foreign , so it is spelled Isparidou and you give the tone in ri ! But i think that greek people that go abroad turn their last names . Isparidou is in genitive ( grammatically speaking ) and if she has kept the greek one it is that. However , it could be possible that it is Isparides so you can pronounce it easier ^^ :agree:

I was waiting for this conversation.

Daniella's ISU Bio is the only place I have ever seen her surname spelt "Ipsaridou".

I first came across Daniella a few years go when looking up results from the Cypriot National Championships. And "Ipsarides" is the way it is spelt in the Cyprus Skating Federation's results sheets.

"Ipsarides" is also the spelling her Mum uses for her married name on her own Facebook profile, and the spelling she uses when referring to her daughter in photos, videos, etc.

So, that is good enough for me! :agree:

Incidentally, Daniella's Mum also uses the "-ides" form for her maiden name.

It's really confusing for us English speakers the way that names have different cases in some languages. And then there is the issue of variations in transliteration (Cypriot Greek tends to be transliterated slightly differently to Greek Greek).

If you look at the results and video from the 2016 World Development Trophy in Gdańsk, they have used yet another different version of her surname: "Daniella-Vanessa Ypsarides".

Also, nobody has mentioned it here, but there are also issues about her first name. When you see her name written in Greek characters, her first name is spelt Ντανιέλα (e.g. in the title of this video where she is interviewed on TV). But, in the Latin character version, it is spelt Daniella.

Now, this is not a mistake. Even though the Greek character version of her name is spelt with one lambda, the Latin character version of her name is spelt with a double "l" everywhere. On results sheets, on her Mum's Facebook profile, on her own Facebook profile.

When you see all these different options on how to spell her name on results sheets, it's no wonder that there is confusion!

Anyway, whatever you call her, things didn't go as well as hoped on Thursday. I had been warned that morning that she was very nervous, and you could see that as soon as she appeared on camera at the start of the Warm-Up. And that carried on into her routine.

You can't blame the girl. Like, this was her first ISU competition, and she had the added pressure of being the first native skater from her country to take part in an ISU competition.

But, at least she didn't fall. That was her main worry.

Daniella finished 35th out of 35 in the Ladies SP at the Ljubljana Cup on Thursday, with a score of 18.75.

But, Florencia Lin is only 1.90 points ahead of her, so if she puts in a good Free Skate, she could move up a place.

The Ladies FS is due to start at 12:20:00 CEST (11:20:00 BST / 10:20:00 GMT). So, about five hours from now.

Daniella will be the 3rd Skater to start. She is due to start at 12:40:50 CEST (11:40:50 BST / 10:40:50 GMT). But that may change if anybody before her withdraws.

So, no chance of moving up. :disapp:
