Sofia Val & Asaf Kazimov

CaroLiza_fan · Feb 23, 2023

Sofía VAL and Asaf Kazimovich KAZIMOV (Russian: Асаф Казимович КАЗИМОВ) are Ice Dancers who represent

Spain.

Sofía Val was born on 14th November 2004 in Madrid, Community of Madrid,

Spain.

Asaf Kazimov was born on 12th March 2000 in St. Petersburg,

Russia.

This is going to be a slightly different Fan Fest. There is already a thread about Sofía’s whole career. So, rather than repeat everything here, the additional OP’s in this thread will focus on Asaf.

Consequently, rather than having just one “Original Post”, this Fan Fest has two!

The first post (this one) is for the current Ice Dance partnership.
The second post is for Asaf’s former partnerships.
The third post is for Asaf as a Singles skater.

Please note that there is also a separate thread for Sofía’s partnership with Linus Colmor Jepsen, where they were representing Spain:

The Short Dance is due to start at 18:55:00 CET (17:55:00 GMT / 20:55:00 MSK). So 12 hours from now.

Sofía and Azaf will be the 5th partnership to start. So, first partnership in Group 2 (and first partnership after the resurfacing).

The Group 2 Warm-Up is due to start at 19:42:10 CET (18:42:10 GMT / 21:42:10 MSK). So 12h 47ms from now.

Sofía and Azaf are due to start at 19:47:40 CET (18:47:40 GMT / 21:47:40 MSK). So 12h 52m from now.

But, those times may change if somebody that is due on before them withdraws.

I wasn't not sure, but Sara Hurtado was supposed to be coaching the partnership between Sofía and Aleksandr Gnedin that didn't happen.

Then I looked up Sofía's Instagram there now, and in the following post about her and Asaf's debut at Nationals, she says that both Sara and Kirill are their coaches:

Kirill was in all probablity part of the coaching set-up all along, but I just didn't pick up on it because the story where we found out about the partnership with Gnedin was actually a story about Sara.

Hope this helps

Challenge Cup Short Dance: Results; Protocols

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdlAkTPWelE

Sofía and Asaf finished 5th out of 14 in the SD, with a score of 61.85.

Unfortunately, I was not able to watch LIVE. However, the Spanish Federation is always very good at putting up videos of their skaters, so I was able to watch them this morning.

First thing I have to say is "Wow!" They may have only been together for 4 months, but they are so good already! To somebody like me who is not an Ice Dance expert, that looked faultless.

When Sofía was partnered with Nikita Vitryanyuk, there were always problems with the Twizzles. As a result, I have got into the habit of keeping close attention to them. Well, I can safely say that there were no issues with them in this programme! They looked so good! Indeed, when you go to the Protocols, they got the best marks from the Judges, with a +1 from Judge 3; and +2 from the remaining four Judges. They also got the second highest GOE, at +1.44.

There was not a single minus in their Protocols. For that matter, they only got two 0's from the Judges (one for each of the last two elements). Everything else was positive. Indeed, when you look at the GOE's, there was only one element that got less than +1.00. Like, how often does any skater I have adopted get GOE's of over +1.00?!

If you look at the Protocols, the only slight blemish is the final element, the Rotational Lift. There was nothing wrong with how it looked. The Judges marks attest to that. 0 from Judge 3, and +2 from the remaining four Judges. In other words, the second best Judges marks after the Twizzles. The problem was that the lift went on for longer than it was supposed to. As a result, it only got +0.77 in GOE.

Sofía and Asaf are currently 6.93 points behind 4th position, Misato KOMATSUBARA / Tim KOLETO (JPN), and 1.10 points ahead of 5th position, Marie DUPAYAGE / Thomas NABAIS (FRA). Sofía and Asaf are at the head of a group where 4 partnerships are covered by 3.07 points, stretching down to Chelsea VERHAEGH / Sherim van GEFFEN (NED) in 8th position.

In fact, they are at the head of an even tighter group within this group, where 3 partnerships are covered by 1.74 points, stretching down to Mariia NOSOVITSKAYA / Mikhail NOSOVITSKIY (ISR) in 7th position.

Being realistic, without something disasterous happening to any of the partnerships in front of them, Sofía and Asaf are not going to finish any higher than they currently are. However, the do need to put in a very good Free Dance, because they have three partnerships breathing down their necks.

But, after seeing what they did in the Short, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they were able to pull away from these partnerships.

This may have been their first performance in a proper competition, but this is a great partnership in the making.

:cheer:

WELL DONE!!! :cheer:

The Senior Free Dance is due to start at 20:40:00 CET (19:40:00 GMT / 22:40:00 MSK). So 13 hours from now.

Sofía and Asaf will be the 10th partnership to start. So, first partnership in Group 3.

The Group 3 Warm-Up is due to start at 22:16:30 CET (21:16:30 GMT / 00:16:30 MSK Saturday). So 14h 36m from now.

Sofía and Asaf are due to start at 22:22:00 CET (21:22:00 GMT / 00:22:00 MSK Saturday). So 14h 42m from now.

But, those times may change if somebody that is due on before them withdraws.
