Good news. Both of the Gervits sisters are in action this week!!! :cheer: :clap: :rock: :party2: :points: :hb:

That said, they are competing in different countries. Katya is competing in the Sofia Trophy in Bulgaria, with her campaign starting today. Meanwhile Liza is competing in the Bavarian Open in Oberstdorf, Germany, with her campaign starting tomorrow.

Katya will finally be making her season debut today at the Sofia Trophy in Bulgaria.

The Junior Ladies SP is due to start today at 12:00:00 EET (10:00:00 GMT / 13:00:00 MSK). So 4 hours from now.

Katya will be the 11th skater to start. So, first skater to go in Group 3.

The Group 3 Warm-Up is due to start at 13:09:40 EET (11:09:40 GMT / 14:09:40 MSK). So 5h 9m from now.

Katya is due to start at 13:16:10 EET (11:16:10 GMT / 14:16:10 MSK). So 5h 16m from now.

But, those times may change if somebody that is due on before her withdraws.

No video uploaded yet 😞

Katya finished 12th out of 38 in the SP, with a score of 43.41.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the Sofia Trophy.

Katya is 1.15 points behind 11th position, Selin AKBULUT (TUR), and 0.16 points ahead of 13th position, Ekaterina BALYUBA (KAZ). All three of them are part of a much larger group where 11 skaters are covered by 4.09 points, stretching from Krista GEORGIEVA (BUL) in 6th position, 2.71 points ahead of Katya, down to Nika OŽEK BELA (SVN) in 16th position, 1.38 points behind Katya.

In a group this big and this close, anything can happen. So, Katya will need to put in a good Free Skate to maximise her chances overall.

:cheer: WELL DONE KATYA!!! :cheer:



The Junior Ladies FS is due to start at 10:30:00 EET (08:30:00 GMT / 11:30:00 MSK). So 2 hours from now.

Katya will be the 27th skater to start. So, first skater to go in Group 6.

The Group 6 Warm-Up is due to start at 14:17:10 EET (12:17:10 GMT / 15:17:10 MSK). So 5h 47m from now.

Katya is due to start at 14:23:40 EET (12:23:40 GMT / 15:23:40 MSK). So 5h 53m from now.

But, those times may change if somebody that is due on before her withdraws.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the Sofia Trophy.

Katya finished the Free Skate 0.19 points behind 13th position, Tara Maria IENCIU (ROU) and 2.50 points ahead of 15th position, Ninon DAPOIGNY (FRA). Ahead of Ienciu was a gap of 2.80 points to Vita KAS (SVN) in 12th position, 2.99 points ahead of Katya.

Overall, Katya finished 0.69 points behind 13th position, Derya TAYGAN (TUR), and 0.29 points ahead of 15th position, Dapoigny. Ahead of Taygan was a gap of 2.04 points to a group of two skaters covered by 0.15 points stretching from Ienciu in 11th position, 2.88 points ahead of Katya, to Kas in 12th position, 2.73 points ahead of Katya. There was a big gap of 7.49 points behind Dapoigny to the next group, which was 7.78 points behind Katya.

Although I didn't actually see the event, it was so good to have Katya back in action. I really loved her programmes last season, and I can't wait to see what she has this season.

:cheer: WELL DONE KATYA!!! :cheer:

Katya and Liza will be back in action today at the Bellu Memorial in Bucharest, Romania. Katya's level is being held first, so this post is for her, while the next post will be for Liza.

The Junior Ladies SP is due to start today at 10:10:00 EET (08:10:00 GMT / 11:10:00 MSK). So 2 hours from now.

Katya will be the 20th skater to start. So, fifth and final skater to go in Group 4 (and final skater to go before the second resurfacing).

The Group 4 Warm-Up is due to start at 12:02:00 EET (10:02:00 GMT / 13:02:00 MSK). So 3h 52m from now.

Katya is due to start at 12:30:30 EET (10:30:30 GMT / 13:30:30 MSK). So 4h 20m from now.

No video uploaded yet 😞

Katya finished 9th out of 24 in the SP, with a score of 38.67.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the Bellu Memorial.


MORE TO FOLLOW


Katya is currently 0.07 points behind 8th position, Chloe Desiree LEUNG (HKG), and 0.69 points ahead of 10th position, Sara TADINI (ITA). All three are part of a group of 4 skaters covered by 2.14 points, stretching down to Ana STRATULAT (ROU) in 11th position, 2.07 points behind Katya.

2.28 points ahead of Leung is a group of two Italian skaters covered by 0.46 points, stretching from Beatrice SOLDATI (ITA) in 6th position, 2.81 points ahead of Katya, to Miriam Stefania TALI (ITA) in 7th position, 2.35 points ahead of Katya. So, if Katya has a good Free Skate, she may be able to infiltrate them. But she has to be careful of the two skaters behind her.

So, lets hope she has a good Free Skate.

:cheer: WELL DONE KATYA!!! :cheer:



The Junior Ladies FS is due to start at 10:00:00 EET (08:00:00 GMT / 11:00:00 MSK). So 2 hours from now.

Katya will be the 16th skater to start. So, fourth and antepenultimate skater to go in Group 3 (and fourth skater to go after the resurfacing).

The Group 3 Warm-Up is due to start at 11:47:00 EET (09:47:00 GMT / 12:47:00 MSK). So 3h 47m from now.

Katya is due to start at 12:14:30 EET (10:14:30 GMT / 13:14:30 MSK). So 4h 14m from now.

But, those times may change if somebody that is due on before her withdraws.

Katya finished 7th out of 24 in the FS, with a score of 74.20. This meant that she climbed to 7th position overall, with a score of 112.87.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to watch the Bellu Memorial.

Katya finished the Free Skate 2.45 points behind 6th position, Miriam Stefania TALI (ITA), and 7.18 points ahead of 8th position, Tsvetelina PANOVA (BUL).

Overall, Katya finished 4.80 points behind 6th position, Tali, and 8.94 points ahead of 8th position, Chloe Desiree LEUNG (HKG).

Incidentally, fellow Israeli skater Anna SENIUK won both segments, and the 🥇 Gold Medal.

It was a shame about those three elements at the start of the second half of the programme. Nevertheless, Katya still managed to get a new absolute PB for the Free Skate. So, that bodes well for when she does it clean.

:cheer: :clap: :rock: :party2: :points: :hb:

I'm not sure when we'll see Katya in action again. It is Sophia SHIFRIN that Israel is sending to Junior Worlds in a couple of days time.

Katya finished 1st out of 3 in the Cup Of Israel Final SP, with a score of 46.33.

Unfortunately, I thought this was being held next week, and only found out last night that it was actually this week. However, I watched Liza on the archived livestream before writing this post, and wrote the sort of comment that I would have written for the competition thread if I had been watching LIVE:

Hang on. Am I going mad? This isn't the same version of the "Ghostbusters" theme tune she had previously been using. This is a remix.

Lovely spin to start with. And the combination too.

Singled her Lutz.

Combination spin good. And so was the combination jump.

Oooh, Katya! Behave! You're not quite old enough for that carry on!

Everything after that went well too.

She may have changed the mix of the music she is using, but I still love this programme as much as I loved it the first time I saw it last season.

Hmmph! They're not showing us her getting her scores. Probably because she is the last to skate. Hope they don't do the same to Liza later on, as she is the last to skate in Seniors.

She goes into 4th position. But she is only 2.27 points behind 2nd position.

Katya finished 2nd out of 3 in the Cup Of Israel Final FS, with a score of 82.86. This meant that she remained in 1st position overall, with a score of 129.19.

Here is what I wrote in the competition thread about the Warm-Up:

Ach, it's a pity that I have only seen Katya once this season so far, because I couldn't remember what her FS costume looks like. And because they were all going so fast when they were in camera shot during the Warm-Up, I couldn't work out which skater was her! :drama:

But, here she comes now to do her programme.

:cheer: ALL THE BEST KATYA!!! :cheer:

CaroLiza_fan

And here is what I wrote about her programme:

An "Aladdin" programme. "Arabian Nights", then "Prince Ali"

Actually, I don't think I have seen this programme before. That would explain why I couldn't pick her out in the Warm-Up.

Lovely combination to start with.

Bit shaky on the landing of the first part of the second combination jump, which sent the next part off.

But next two elements were good.

Ach, fall on the Triple Toe. But the combination spin that followed was good.

An abrupt stop and hand down on the Triple Salchow.

But, the rest of it was good after that.

Are they not going to show us her getting her scores?!

Finally! She seems absolutely delighted with her scores!

They are not quite the absolute PB's that she got the last time she was in Holon for the third round of the Cup Of Israel, but they are her second highest ever scores!

:cheer: :clap: :rock: :points: :party2: :hb:

Into 2nd in the FS, and 1st overall.

Katya finished the Free Skate 1.13 points behind 4th position, Simona TKACHMAN (ACA), and 10.87 points ahead of 6th position, Noa EVEN (KFA).

Overall, Katya finished 14.80 points behind 3rd position, Anna IUSHCHENKOVA (HOL), and 1.83 points ahead of 5th position, Tkachman. Even finished 16.26 points further back from Tkachman in 6th position, 18.09 points behind Katya.

Katya, Simona and Noa were the three skaters competing in the Cup Of Israel Final.

To say that both Junior Free Skate competitions were chaos would be an understatement. For once, the girls were as chaotic as the boys.

Although it would have been nice for Katya to have been the top Cup Of Israel skater in both segments, it was always unlikely to happen because the total Base Value of Simona Tkachman's FS programme was higher than Katya's. It was only close because Simona had issues with so many of her elements.

In terms of Nationals, there was nothing more Katya could have done.

Junior Grand Prix Varese Ladies SP: Results; Protocols

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju9Sj6HEd_o

Katya finished 31st out of 36 in the SP, with a score of 32.09.

Unfortunately, I was not able to watch the entire Ladies SP, because there is so much on this weekend. However, I did break away to watch the Group 1 Warm-Up and my two kids that were in that group.

Before the action started, I wrote an introduction post about my two kids. Here is the part that I wrote about Katya:

Two of my kids are making their Junior GP debut in the opening group.

...

And ending the group is Katya Gervits (ISR), the younger sister of Liza Gervits. Now, I should point out that the ISU are using a different transliteration of her name to what has been used in Entries / Results pages up to now. Instead of "Katarina Gervits", they are using "Katerina Gervitz". (It will be interesting to see if the spelling of the surname on Liza's ISU Bio is changed to match).

Unfortunately, there are no recent videos of Katya skating on YouTube. The most recent video is from the 2016-17 Season. Which is a real shame, as I really loved her programmes from the 2022-23 Season.

However, Liza and Katya were both child prodigies playing the piano. There are lots of videos on YouTube of them playing, going right back to when Liza was 5 years old and Katya was 3 ½.

Here is Katya playing a medley of Bach, Moszkowski and Laydov in a competition when she was 9 years old:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGnWpLlIS_E

And as a bonus, here are the sisters playing a duet at the same event a couple of years later:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SzYoYahyVU

Enjoy!

But back to the present and the skating.

:cheer: ALL THE BEST GIRLS!!! :cheer:

Here is what I wrote about the Warm-Up in the competition thread:


Here is what I wrote when she was being introduced:


And here is what I wrote about her programme:


The first comment from other members came from our video archive compiler, @labgoat . She accidentally got Katya's nationality wrong, but it produced an interesting discussion, so I'll copy it in here anyway.


To which one of our members in Australia, @TallyT, replied:


And then @labgoat came back with:


@lariko then corrected her:


To which @labgoat replied:


Anyway, back to the rest of the discussion. @crystalspin had commented:


While my fellow British member @FlossieH compared Katya to the skater that went directly before her:


Our bastion of positivity, @Jeanie19, commented:


And @EdgeCall spotted something that I hadn't:


Can't say I'm entirely surprised. Katya is very musically minded.

Katya is currently 2.03 points behind 30th position, Flora Marie SCHALLER (AUT), and 0.16 points ahead of 31st position, Salome SCHMID (LIE).

If Katya has a good Free Skate, there is a chance that she could climb a few positions. Luna ROZMAN (SVN) in 27th position is 4.83 points ahead of Katya. However, the gap ahead of Rozman is too big for Katya or any of the skaters around her to overcome. Olivia LENGYELOVA (SVK) in 26th position is 10.83 points ahead of Katya.

So, let's hope Katya does have a good Free Skate!

Katya finished 33rd out of 36 in the FS, with a score of 53.08. This meant that she dropped to 32nd position overall, with a score of 85.17.

Here is what I wrote in the competition thread about the Warm-Up:


Here is what I wrote when she was being introduced:


And here is what I wrote about her programme:


To be honest, I am not sure whether this comment from @EdgeCall was about Katya or the skater before her. But, I will paste it in anyway:


I hope it wasn't about Katya, becauses this reply came from Canadian member @4everchan:


But then our bastion of positivity @Jeanie19 came in with this:


To be honest, I would prefer not to talk about the protocols. Suffice to say, apart from seven +1's, all the numbers were negative or neutral.

Katya finished the Free Skate 1.70 points behind 32nd position, Eva SUŽNJEVIĆ (BIH), and 4.77 points ahead of 34th position, Noa SEGUI JIMENEZ (ESP). Katya was the bottom skater in a group of 5 skaters covered by 4.71 points, stretching up to Luna ROZMAN (SVN) in 29th position.

Overall, Katya finished 2.82 points behind 31st position, Salome SCHMID (LIE), and 3.57 points ahead of 33rd position, Sužnjević.

After impressing in the Short Programme, Katya didn't have the Free Skate that she would have wanted. But, she has finally made her Junior GP debut. And with another season left of Junior eligibility, hopefully this will not be her only Junior GP appearance.

This will in all probability be her only Junior GP appearance this season, though. Israel has 1 slot in 5 events for the Ladies. And four names are being rotated in the Provisional Entry Lists. Simona TKACHMAN (the youngest) has been given two assignments, and I suspect the other three girls are being given one assignment each. The only event of the five that has still to announce it's provisional entries is the last Junior GP in Abu Dhabi. And since Gabriella GRINBERG hasn't been given an assignment yet, I expect to see her being sent there.

But, you never know. Katya is down as Israel's first substitute in Bangkok and Baku, so there is still a chance.

EDIT (9th September 2025): Sophia SHIFRIN got Abu Dhabi as a second assignment. Katya is again the first substitute. Gabriella GRINBERG wasn't even on the list of substitutes this time, so I wonder if she is injured.​
