2017-18 State of Russian Ladies skating

[[email protected]]

They've been having very cold weather in Moscow. May was 2.3°C cooler than normal.

Just came back to Moscow. It's sunny but only +9C Very cold for June.

So Stanislava is in seniors now and on the reserve team. She might get that RoC GP spot - it all depends now how she and others do at the test skates

Other than Lipnitskaya and Sotnikova, who at the moment are looking rather unlikely, it's just Stanislava and Serafima, really. So unless she does really badly, it should most likely be Stanislava.

I actually think the Russian Fed will try to get Adelina or Yulia there, since it's an Olympic season and they are two reigning OGMs. It would be great to promote the upcoming Games by showcasing one of them a final time as eligible competitors.

I hope they don't. Hope they give it to Konstantinova.
She was showing some promise after all, skated relatively well last season and deserves to be not left behind.

Interesting interview with Zagitova, Pogo, Mishin and etc.

Btw, Tarasova said Alina has the potentian to jump 3A.

Yulia's SP last season was out of this world. With all my love to Evgenia I was spellbound watching Yulia. If she only could come back she might not win big time because with Evgenya's and Alina's tech it seems impossible now. And new juniors will be there in no time at all like Kihira and Scherbakova. But Yulia is Yulia - one of the kind star defying rationale and common sense getting under your skin straight to your heart. At least that's how it works for me.

That's how it works for many people.
I'm a YT freak - looking frequently for skating vids, I notice neverending stream of new Yulia tributes/compilations, unlike of other Russian skaters (even best-ever Evgenia).
People just love their little girl in red no matter what!

I am very curious to see if Alina makes a huge improvement maturity was and in power because that will be key. I also think Gracie Gold has a far better chance of making her national team and winning an olympic medal than Adelina or Yulia. That being said Russia has some other good skaters.

What is with the Gracie obsession on here? The level of delusion is off the charts.

[Good evening! I have a kid, little girl Amelka, 1.6yo. We urgently need to begin training right now, but I can't find a coach for my little one... Please help, I'm ready to commute to another city for practices...]

btw. Sergei Dobrin, now a coach was pretty good skater several years ago.

coming soon:

"good evening! i'm pregnant and i'm desperately trying to find a coach for my baby, cuz she should jump 3A by the time she is born, please help me"

No one knows for sure. I'll quote TAT from this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6phnEuGH8Y
(2:08):
"Also I can say that her axel is very good. They will probably learn 3A, maybe they are already practicing it"

In my opininon Medvedva was less impressive, when she was 14
