OMG... ((

 

[lavender]

Wow so many good Russian girls but they are falling all over the place.

 

[tulosai]

It's still unclear though. Shelepen beat both Korobeinikova and Biryukova at FS, maybe RFSF will give the third spot in the team to her, she did very well at JGP and beat Korobeinikova there

I would love if they sent Shelepen but I think it's unlikely

 

[tulosai]

Alena Leonova 118.20

Into first!

I hope that to because she has the greatest potential,and with her they have a better chance to medal , and she has a hard content to!!!Please RFSF do what is the best for you.

well if they will be sending Korobeynikova, Shelepen might be considered as first alternate to either worlds/euros

 

[oleada]

I love Julia! Finally someone who skates like she wants to win. Everything was divine, perfect, precise....she'll be tough to beat. Standing O from me

 

[daphna]

yay! now go Adelina!
what a shame Lip is too young for 2014 - she's already world class, IMO.

 

[Shaba22]

Alena Leonova

3T-3T - turn-out
3Lo
3Lz - turn-out
1F - no combo
3S-2T-2Lo
3F-2T - one hand down in the flip
2A

59.95 + 118.20 = 178.15

 

[tulosai]

Julia Lipnitskaia 128.54

Into first. Will either stay there or be second depending in Sot. VERY happy for her.

She is not too young for 2014. She makes the deadline to be age eligible

She still has a chance for a worlds' spot...
Russia is not shy about replacing low-performing Euros team members at Worlds.
In 2007, Nationals #1, #2, and #3 went to Euros and placed, 28th, 11th, and 7th, respectively. Nationals #3 (Sokolova) and #4 then went to worlds.
Leonova's spot on both teams is pretty safe, but Makarova and Biryukova could easily bomb (or medal) at Euros, so Shelepen has a good chance for 2 of the 3 worlds spots...

How did Alena get that score for all those turn outs.

 

[Mrs. P]

Alena's PCS seems way too high, at least relatively to Liza's. Five points?
(Granted I haven't seen either program yet, so maybe I will change my mind.)

And that TES! So, so low. Guessing she's out of fuel (she said as much right?).

Julia Lipnitskaya
2A-3T-2T
2A-3T
3Lz
3Lo
3F-2T
3F
3S

63.11 +128.54=191.65 (1st)

 

[oleada]

Adelina skated the first half beautifully....but had errors on the landings of her last 3 jumps. Still, it's her best FS of the season and she performed beautifully.

 

[tulosai]

Adelina into first though Julia did beat her in the FS. I honestly think her score for what she just did was too high, but happy for her all the same.

 

[koatcue]

Adelina is 1!:yay:

 

[sky_fly20]

well all the scores were a bit inflated , Julia should have won, imo
but I'm happy for Adelina she can control her jumps especially her lutz combos

 

[Slowdive]

She is not too young for 2014. She makes the deadline to be age eligible

Julia will still only be 15 yrs old by the 2014 Olympics if I'm not mistaken.
