Thanks for sharing! I'm confused, though. What are the non-bolded, non-underlined events?

As far as I understand, bolded ones are Russian Nationals for each level. Underlined ones are for quallifying (sorry if misspelled) to Senior and Junior Nationals. The rest are other regional competitions or events.

Sorry if it has any spelling mistake, English is not my mother tongue. Also correct me if I posted something wrong

They started the sales of tickets for 2018 Russian nationals. https://spb.kassir.ru/sport/sk-yubi...kah-2018-abonement-na-vse-dni_2017-12-21_1402 Everything is available. I bought tickets for Saturday (all events) and Sunday. The price is 3700 and 2200 rbls. per seat respectively. This is about $60 and $40 which is reasonable as the seats are in row 3 and the very center.

That's quite a lot of couples taking part. Fifteen in total, is there usually that much? Russian junior Ice Dance is looking good. I hope that Polishchuk and Vakhnov have a great season, their R&J Free Dance was one of my favourites last year.

Looking forward to hearing about the Pairs test skate next week. Some really exciting couples in the Russian field, I hope all have got on well during the summer.

Men and ladies who took part to test skate event. There are 15 men but only 11 ladies. No Tarakanova and no Kurakova on the list.

Last year there were 14 teams, so, 15 teams isn't unusual.

Yep, Russian junior Ice Dance is looking very good. They have three very good teams this year, S/S, P/V and S/A and at least two very promising new teams, Khudaberdieva/Nazarov and Konkina/Yakushev. And one shouldn't forget Shevchenko/Eremenko and Ushakova/Nekrasov who both are potential teams.

Looking forward to hearing about the Pairs test skate next week. Some really exciting couples in the Russian field, I hope all have got on well during the summer.

Pairs test skate starts today but I haven't seen a list of invited pairs yet. Last year there were 10 pairs but this summer there have been very numerous split ups and it will be interesting to see how many pairs does Fed invite here. Hopefully we will some new teams getting invitation, like Pavlova/Parkman who should be a really interesting new team, at least jump-wise they should be really good too.

I had high hopes for Kudryavtseva/Simenenko but for some reason they split up. I am hoping Kudryavtseva/Spiridonov will be invited here even though they are a very new team. Does anyone know if Simenenko has a new partner yet? How about Amina, does she have a new partner yet?

14 pairs but no Kudryavtseva/Spiridonov and no Pavlova/Parkman, I am disappointed. Also no Ustimkina/Volodin, I wonder why that is.

Come on, be realistic. Pavlova is new to pairs, and Parkman has not been showing that great results last season. I am not saying that he doesn't have a potential, but he is not as great that he could compensate for her lack of skills. They paired up only a few months ago, so I doubt that at this stage they are good enough to go to test skates. Test skates are supposed to be for the best from the pairs. Do you really think that after a few months of doing a new discipline - pairs, Pavlova is competitive with top Russian junior teams? And him, last season pretty average or under average male partner, suddenly dramatically increased his skills? I think they may be pretty decent towards the end of the season, but definitely not now.

So, this is true? Elena moved to pairs? In the last season she showed very solid results: she won one local event (or more I don't know exactly), also took often 2-3 places. Her average SP score was around 60+. Her FS score was around 115-125. And she decided to move to pairs...

Sure, it's better than move to ice dance like Mitrofanova or Lozko, but still... It makes me sad when so many talented girls just disappear in competition.

Anyway, I wish them all good luck.

She was good, but not as good as some others of her age. And if you look at her chances in ladies and in pairs, there is much less good pairs than ladies, and the juniors in pairs are much more unpredictable (e.g. none of the top three pairs from two years ago are now competing together). For Pavlova that means opportunity. In junior ladies there is currently 10-12 ladies fighting for spots at JGP. Boikova-Kozlovski got to junior worlds after skating a year together...

Lena Pavlova was at the test skates FYI. Whether they skated or not I do not know but based on Sharov's photos, she was there with the other young pairs in Mozer's group.

What's the issue with her switching to Pairs? She would never make it out of Russia as a singles skater. And so if Nina Mozer (not just any skating coach) gives you a chance to join her team, you don't say no. The best coaching team, the best training conditions and the best funding in Pairs skating.

Lena Pavlova was at the test skate but they didn't skate. Sometimes skaters that are not invited to skate just come and watch their competitors. Daria Foka was at the test skates too (and didn't skate). Does anyone know what is going on with her? Last season she and he new partner were at the test skates, then they got the first JGP, they withdrew or were withdraw by the federation (don't know which of those) and then they didn't skate for the rest of the season. Injury? Or split up?
Amina Atakhanova was at the test skates too.
