Serafima Sakhanovich

I knew she would start to come back & that Rukavitsin's team would be a great fit for her. She still needs time to fix some things, but I'm just delighted whenever someone proves the Debbie Downers wrong. Go Sima!

She is improving but i've to say last year was way better than this.

Tutberidze > Rukavitsin

 

[tulosai]

I'm glad she was able to finish her season with her best skates of the season. Hopefully as others have said next year will be better. Well done Sima

I think she would have had the same problems even if she hadn't changed coaches, tbh... I think she's improved her jump technique over this season, and her skating is always great to watch.

I've added another video that includes the K&C. Her reaction says it all. So happy for her

She is likely dealing with puberty, she changed cities and coaches 2x in the course of a year, so I think you need to adjust your expectations. And I am always defending Eteri on here, but if Sima had to move, she had to move. Rukavitsin's team has been getting better results recently, so he deserves credit for that. To establish one's self as a top coach is hard enough, plus being in SPB vs. Moscow is an immediate disadvantage, as I'm sure you know.

I don't think any one coach is the best one for all skaters at all times. She is where she is now, she looks happy about it, the end.

No, he said he only shot Sima and Masha but he didn't want to post Masha because she looked tired and her elements weren't working out.

After the short program girl from St. Petersburg, ranked third on during random rolled fallen and was only the fifth . However, the amount of points for the final bronze enough.

- Always someone ahead of me, then Masha Sotskova then Zhenya Medvedev .

Lovers gonna love, coach gonna coach, but Serafima is still not gonna trust any of you! :noshake:

Sima has always been my favourite Russian girl of the very talented group born 1998-2000, and it was sad to see her struggle this season.... I think what really held her back, more than coaching and city changes, growth issues and bad technique, was the fact that she felt 'left behind'. She wanted to go senior and she wasn't allowed for no clear reason, then she witnessed Zhenia do so well as a senior, and she must have felt that maybe she could have done good too, and yet now she is just one of the too many russian ladies struggling to find her place in this crowded field....I really hope the federation hasn't damaged her confidence and career beyond repair!

In all honesty, I think her situation would probably be even worse now if she'd gone senior...
