That was lovely. Who is the piano player?
Happy Birthday to Sofia!
Will she be able to do junior worlds this season and senior worlds the season after? Or does that stupid cuddle of rule delay her or another year?
The girl's name is Apollinaria. She often plays music figure skaters use in their programs. She also does dancing challenges skatgers do (like Anna etc.). Check her profile, she's big FS fan.That was lovely. Who is the piano player?

Sofia will have to remain in juniors internationally till 2022/2023 season, she can first skate as a senior in 2023/2024 season, if the rules won't be changed, then it will be even later*. Her date of birth is really unfortunate when it comes to age eligibility.
* (As the ISU congress was cancelled again and only the necessary technical issues and unnecessary renaming ladies category to women category were decided online, all the other agenda, incl. the decision about the age eligibility were postponed again.)

Sofia is going to be bored out of her mind if she can't compete as a senior until 2023. Although she will be able to skate at senior Russian nationals in december. That should be very interesting.
They have to get rid of the July 1st age rule at some point. It's hurt too many girls born in the 2nd half of the year.

How did she not win that competition or entertainment competition or whatever it was? I see TAT low balled her while Adelina gave her two 6.0s.

A pitty, I'm always nervous when she's going for this combo, maybe in JGP she could play it more safely..
It happens. I remember at 2019 Rostelecom Cup Sofia participated in the gala. She performed her SP and fell from all three jumping passes, but it didn't break her down.A pitty, I'm always nervous when she's going for this combo, maybe in JGP she could play it more safely..
Last year Eteri girls (Maiia and Daria, Adeliya had to withdraw because of injury) performed quite poorly at the test skates but then during the season they did their best as we know

Yep, it doesn't mean anything, of course. Mistakes were made but the season is just starting, she'll be fine.It happens. I remember at 2019 Rostelecom Cup Sofia participated in the gala. She performed her SP and fell from all three jumping passes, but it didn't break her down.
