That exactly sounds like someone who took cocaine

Very interesting! Looks like this is going to be a more exciting competition than the senior grand prix event, even! Hm, is that a good thing, I wonder...not yet.

Tsurskaya and Kostornaya as a senior (MC).
Alexandra Trusova as a junior (KMC)
Side note here: I ran into some videos and started wondering - What should I expect out of the very best 7-year-old ladies' skaters in Russia? It's kind of tough to tell what the general level for that age group is(Never actually watched it or paid any attention to it), but something caught my interest recently.

Imo the very best pre-novice and novice Russian skater was Anastasia Gubanova. She landed triple flip in competition at 8 years 11 months. This is her earliest video at 8:Side note here: I ran into some videos and started wondering - What should I expect out of the very best 7-year-old ladies' skaters in Russia?
Really? I don't. At all. :confused2:What do you all think about Elena Radionova's prospects with regards to the Olympics? I assume that 4th place at CoR means she has no chance of making GPF which, considering this is Russia, will hurt her coming to Nationals but I did see quite a lot of improvement in her skating since she made that coaching change.

Thank you a lot! That helps me to get a better idea.As someone said in Angel's thread, Nastya Gubanova jumped 3F when she was only 8 years old. Also, I guess Sofia Akatieva from Eteri's group did triple jumps at very young age. She is still only 10 yo, but already jumps all triples. She'll be the next skater in Eteri's group (after Sasha and Anna), who will land quad jump.

The reason I started investigating is because I coincidentally ran into this video and started wondering if she really is extremely impressive or if I just am out of touch about what a 7-year-old should be able to do:

The jumps themselves are... not worth mentioning but this footwork and choreo is just insane to me.

and TsurskayaAnd it will also depend on how Sotskova, Pogorilaya and Tuktamysheva will do internationally.
