Russian Junior Nationals, 4-7 Feb 2015, Joshkar-Ola

Tsurskaya was good, but Liza Nugumanova was even better, she has beautiful style and interpretation. And I'm not sure but does this mean that Sasha Proklova WD from competition? : http://fsrussia.ru/news/754-aleksandra-proklova-snyalas-s-pervenstva-rossii.html

I was looking forward to Alisa Fedichkina but she popped a jump which is a common issue for her...

Yes. She WD because of illness.

Yes. She WD because of illness.

Such a sad season for her.

The figure skater Aleksandra Proklova - the winner of the European winter festival withdrew from the junior championship of Russia which takes place in Joshkar-Ola, because of an illness. According to her coach Inna Goncharenko, the athlete poisoned the day before, next day she lifted high temperature, for this reason she couldn't act. :disapp:

Sima. 33.27 by TES. What it was?

Nugumanova! I love her spins! Her illusion spin is so...stable-looking? Nice 3Lo-3Lo too.

Wow, Sima behind Tsurskaya! Was not expecting that...

 

[Totentanz]

Good luck to Maria

Looks like she moved her combo to the beginning of the program and had a step out on it.

I may be completely wrong, but Sima seems thinner and more flexible than she used to be... and if so I wonder if the change may have an affect on the stability in her jumps.

TBH though, I don't think we are seeing the best performances out of most of the skaters...

She is growing, that might be the reason. I think it is good she is improving other aspects, she will need it next year at seniors..

Masha 65.93 - great! But What will say Zhenia?

 

[Roman09]

:shocked: 70.95 39.90 31.05 How she does it?

 

[NaVi]

For comparison's sake(even though comparing scores between competitions let alone years can be iffy), here are SP scores from previous years...

2014, 2013, 2012

Sofia Samodurova just received a 43.54 (the only one to go under 50 thus far)... I checked out the videos where she scored 165 and I couldn't understand how she scored that high... I thought at the time that maybe some favoritism may have been involved.

[Roman09]

and no one deduction behind 17 participants!

 

[Meoima]

I feel bad for these ladies. Blood bath in near future.

Tsurskaya is obviously talented, but the front half of her program is distractingly empty. I understand the need to maximize scoring potential, but it really isn't pleasing to watch.
