I'm trying so hard to understand Russian fs events pyramid, but I still can't figure out couple of things:

1. What are the age limits for Russian Junior Championships (Pervenstvo)?
2. If they are no age limits for Russian Junior Championships (Pervenstvo), can (in theory) 5yo win it? :biggrin:
3. The pyramid looks logical:
Seniors (Chempionat) for 14yo+ -> Juniors (Pervenstvo) for ↑???↑ -> Younger Age (Mladshii Vozrast) for 11-13yo, except this:
Nationals Elder Age - two years younger than Juniors, i.e. reached 11 but not reached 17 at 01 Jul 2014.
It just doesn't fit! :scratch:

There are skaters who skate in both events... there's an overlap in the couple years before eligibility for skating in the junior grand prix.

It took me also a while to figure out why they have so many nationals. Eventually someone who used to skate in Russian system explained that the Russian championat is like senior nationals, the perevenstvo is like our junior nationals, then the younger age nationals is like our novice nationals (with two different age categories - older and younger and the last nationals (older age) is additional junior nationals, a bit like B nationals. This is usually much lower standard than the 'normal' nationals because those who did reasonably well in other competitions don't need to do that, but it is one more opportunity to get on the Russian team.

That's exactly what I thought! :agree:

Yeah, Solovieva, Mitrofanova, Fedichkina, and many other girls, aren't just good, they're amazing, very promising skaters! But Gubanova... this is absolutely ANOTHER level.

I wrote it many times: Nugumanova is fantastic, talented and adorable, but Gubanova has "IT" factor. Elegant, graceful and captivating. Superstar in the making, she will shoot the lights out, if puberty let her shine.

Stanislava Konstantinova is not on the start list for the Gardena Spring Trophy. I thought it was odd she'd be skating at the event considering she'd have to skate at the elder nationals in a few days.

Gubanova's coach, Urmanov is moving to Moscow, isn't it? Does that mean she will move to Moscow along with him?
