Awww!!! Thank you so much for the compliments. I was only trying to help the team from a country that means a lot to me, so I'm all embarassed now! :eek::

Just to let you know that I have already updated the Fan Fest!

Although Stats on Ice had profiles for all the team members that I wanted to include (i.e. those competing at Junior and Advanced Novice level), the details for 2 of the girls were blank (Liza and Giorgia). So, since I wanted the skaters in each category ordered by age, I had to guess where to fit them in.

So, I looked at what level the 4 skaters were competing at in the 2013-14 Season, and ordered them like that, in each case putting the skater with no birthday data below the skater that did.

However, since uploading the draft earlier, I have found out that Liza and Giorgia are BOTH actually older than Daniella Ipsarides. So, I have had to re-arrange the order of the skaters.

I have also added in the programme music for Daniella, as well as a piece of background information for each of the other three Advanced Novice girls.

As you may have noticed, I have only included the Social Media section for the two Russian-born girls, Kristina and Polina. This is because the other skaters were all born this side of the Millennium and, as such, I felt it would be inappropriate to advertise how to get to social media profiles that belong to children.

I hope you understand, and don't mind me taking this stance.

Finally, I would like to say a massive thank you to Daniella Ipsarides' mother, who has been a huge help with this project.

All the best to the whole team for the coming season, and beyond!

btw, the links to the 2015 Cyprus Championships all give a 404 Not found error.

Will the data ever be available again? It is not on wayback or webcite either. :cry:

If not, you could always use links to the 2015 Cyprus championships thread. A lot of the results were copied there.

I am aware of that.

When I was making out the thread last week, any time I went to the CSF website (or the entries/results pages for the 2015 championships), I was getting one of those Website Hacked animations.

So, when they realised, I suppose the CSF decided that the best thing to do would be to take the website down completely.

Hopefully they will put the site back up again, and not leave us without access to the 2015 results pages.

And maybe while they're at it, they could even put the 2014 results pages back up as well! ;) :biggrin:

That would be a good thing. Even if they put it up for a short while :biggrin: we could always archive it immediately...

That would be a good thing. Even if they put it up for a short while :biggrin: we could always archive it immediately...

What I forgot to mention is that, when the site was hacked, I was able to get the results for the past two Cypriot Nationals from Stats On Ice:

2015 Cyprus Championships
2014 Cyprus Championships

Curran Oi has done a great job in putting together all the information in that database. However, at the end of the day he is only human, and the odd mistake has slipped in here and there.

For example, I can't remember who it was, but when researching one of my recent Fan Fests, I came across a competition where there was a significant difference between what Stats On Ice had as one of their segment scores and what it said on the original Entries/Results Page. And I only noticed there was a difference because this score just happened to be a PB.

That is a point. I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I am classifying PB's differently to how Stats On Ice do. They just have ISU and non-ISU. I have ISU, International and National. I just thought this would add an extra level of interest.

But, doing it like this means that I have to work out what the PB scores are myself, by going through the Competitive History table I have made out. Then I check them against the PB's as listed on Stats On Ice and the ISU Bios. And that is how I found the discrepancy above.

The moral of the story is: where possible, use the original Entry/Results Pages.

And that is why it is so annoying when they are taken down. :mad: :bang:

So, I have my fingers crossed that this is only a temporary thing with the CSF website.

(I'm still trying to work out why anybody would want to hack a skating website, though... :confused: )

They hack them in the hopes of downloading malware onto the computers of people checking out the site. GS has to be, and is, very vigilant about this stuff.

And you are right. The original data is the best:love:

:slink: which is why I have been on a tear to get as much of it waybacked as possible this season.

The Entries/Results Page is up for the Riga Cup.

Unfortunately, Nikita Vitryanyuk is not in the starting order for the Men's SP. So, it looks like he has withdrawn. :disapp:

HOWEVER, Polina Ustinova will be the final skater in Group 3 of the Ladies SP. She will be the 15th of the 32 skaters to start.

:cheer: ALL THE BEST POLINA!!!! :cheer:

Just a wee reminder that the Ladies SP for the Riga Cup starts in 20 minutes.

Polina Ustinova will be the final skater in Group 3. She is due to start at 12:33:10 local time, which incidentally is the same time in Cyprus AND in Moscow.

For those in Yekaterinburg, her start time will be 14:33:10.

But that may change if any of the skaters on before her withdraw.

Polina Ustinova finished 31st in today's Short Programme at the Riga Cup.

2015 Riga Cup Ladies Short Programme Results

Polina was the first skater that was focussed in on during the Group 3 Warm-Up. Here is the direct link to the start of the Warm-Up, within the video of the whole Ladies SP competition:

And here is the direct link to Polina's performance, again within the video of the whole Ladies SP competition:

Finally, here is the video just showing Polina's SP (unfortunately, it doesn't show her getting her results):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQM6Yd7Wrs0

Polina had a fall, but still managed to score 26.12. That is considerably more than her previous Personal Best SP at an ISU competition, 17.16 scored a year ago at the Ljubljana Cup. It is also just shy of her International Personal Best SP, 26.50 scored in April at the Triglav Cup.

Polina will be the third to start in tomorrow's Free Programme.

More details about her start time and the livestream will be posted tomorrow morning.

:cheer: ALL THE BEST POLINA :cheer:

Apologies for posting this so late. I only got a chance to watch the Ladies FS this morning.

Polina Ustinova finished 30th in Friday's Free Skate at the Riga Cup.

2015 Riga Cup Ladies Free Skate Results

Despite this, she slipped one place from where she was after the SP, and finished 32nd overall at the Riga Cup.

2015 Riga Cup Ladies Results

Polina was the final skater to go onto the ice for the Group 1 Warm-Up. Unfortunately, because it was the first group, there were a lot of graphics being shown as the housekeeping was being done. This meant that we didn't get to see as much of this group as we did the later groups. But we still managed to see some of Polina. And, due to the costume she was wearing for her FS, she was VERY easy to spot!

Here is the direct link to the start of the Warm-Up, within the video of the whole Ladies FS competition:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCPpkUu7QP8&t=971

And here is the direct link to Polina's performance, again within the video of the whole Ladies FS competition:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCPpkUu7QP8&t=2205

Finally, here is the video just showing Polina's SP (unfortunately, it doesn't show her getting her results):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pavVP_cIlG4

Unfortunately, Polina had 2 falls during the Free Skate. (She very nearly had a third as well, but managed to rescue it!) She also did the whole of her final combination after the music had finished. The result was that she got 3 deductions.

Despite these, Polina still managed to score 43.27. This totally obliterated her previous Personal Best FS at an ISU competition, 29.78 scored a year ago at the Ljubljana Cup. However, it is still just over 11 points lower than her International Personal Best FS, 54.60 scored in March at the World Development Trophy in Poland.

In addition, her overall score of 69.39 is just shy of 23 points higher than her previous Personal Best overall score at an ISU competition, 46.94 scored a year ago at the Ljubljana Cup. However, it is just over 11 points lower than her International Personal Best FS, 80.56 scored in March at the World Development Trophy in Poland.

Although Polina finished bottom of the field overall at a Junior Grand Prix for a second time, she can take a LOT of positives from the Riga Cup.

  1. In Ljubljana, Polina was at the bottom of the field in both segments. In Riga, she was not at the bottom of the field in either segment.

  2. In each of the segments as well as overall, Polina's scores in Riga were very close to the girl directly above her, whereas there was a big difference in Ljubljana.

  3. In Riga, all of Polina’s scores were considerably better than they were in Ljubljana.

  4. As a result, all of Polina’s ISU Personal Best Scores are now considerably higher than they were before Riga.

  5. Polina came extremely close to matching her International Personal Best Score in the Short Programme at Riga.

:cheer: WELL DONE POLINA!!! :cheer:

Sorry for the late alert. Ever since I updated it last night, Firefox has been crashing a lot on me. :mad: :bang:

Entries/Results Page for Copernicus Cup (Toruń, Poland)

Just a wee reminder that the Ladies SP for the Copernicus Cup has just started.

Polina Ustinova will be the first skater in Group 3. She is due to start at 12:07:50 local time, which is 13:07:50 in Cyprus AND in Moscow.

For those in Yekaterinburg, her start time will be 15:07:50.

But that may change if any of the skaters on before her withdraw.

Polina Ustinova finished 31st out of 33 in yesterday's Short Programme at the Copernicus Stars.

I have to be honest, this is not the best I have seen Polina skate. She was better in Riga. She didn't fall, but her hand was down on quite a few of her elements. In the end, she scored 24.51.


Polina will be the final skater to start in Group 1 of this afternoon's Free Skate. She is due to start at 17:05:10 local time, which is 18:05:10 in Cyprus AND in Moscow.

For those in Yekaterinburg, her start time will be 20:05:10.

But that may change if any of the skaters on before her withdraw.

Polina Ustinova finished 31st out of 33 in yesterday's Free Skate at the Copernicus Stars.

2015 Copernicus Stars Ladies Free Skate Results

This meant that she maintained her 31st position in the overall results!

2015 Copernicus Stars Ladies Results

As in Riga, Polina was the final skater to go onto the ice for the Group 1 Warm-Up. Unfortunately, because it was the first group, there were a lot of graphics being shown as the housekeeping was being done. This meant that we didn't get to see as much of this group as we did the later groups. But they did focus in on her straight after showing the starting order graphic for the competition.

Here is the direct link to the start of the Warm-Up, within the video of the whole Ladies FS competition:

And here is the direct link to Polina's performance, again within the video of the whole Ladies FS competition:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxcEtfJjwuM&t=3029

Finally, here is the video just showing Polina's FS (unfortunately, it doesn't show her getting her results):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpseL52A1XA

Polina's Free Skate was pretty good! Although she did have a fall (unlike during her Short Programme), it was nevertheless a LOT better than her Short Programme. In fact, I would say it is the best I've seen her skate!

Bearing this in mind, it is perhaps unsurprising that Polina achieved a new ISU Personal Best score for a Free Skate. She scored 48.51 in Toruń, which is just over 5 points higher than her previous best of 43.27 from the Riga Cup a few weeks ago. More importantly, it is edging ever closer to her International Personal Best FS, which was also achieved in Poland (54.60, scored in March at the World Development Trophy in Gdańsk).

That Free Skate score also meant that she set a new Personal Best overall score for an ISU competition. Her score of 73.02 is just shy of 4 points higher than her previous best of 69.39 from the Riga Cup a few weeks ago. However, her lower score in the SP this week meant that she is still 7 points away from her International Personal Best FS, which, again, was also achieved in Poland (80.56 scored in March at the World Development Trophy in Gdańsk).

The big thing to take from this competition was that, for the first time in her Junior Grand Prix career, Polina did not finish at the bottom of the field. She had 2 skaters behind her in each segment, and overall. (It was the same 2 skaters, but they swapped positions in each segment).


All in all, Polina has improved at each Junior Grand Prix she has competed in. And as she gets more international experience under her belt, I can see her continuing this trend.

However, I do feel that what Polina needs most is to get more time on the full-size rinks. Because, with more space, she will be able to work on:

  1. building up her speed
  2. building up the heights of her jumps.

These are the 2 things that are holding Polina back from making a big jump up the order. And unfortunately, you can't work on improving these on a small rink in a shopping centre, as you are constantly worrying about hitting the boards.

But in the meantime, let's just concentrate on the huge strides that Polina has made since she made her Junior Grand Prix debut just 13 months ago in Ljubljana!

:cheer: WELL DONE POLINA!!! :cheer:

I was just looking through the entries for today's Sarajevo Open, and noticed that Polina Ustinova is competing in Junior Ladies and Daniella Ipsarides is competing in Advanced Novice Ladies.

Entries/ Results Page:
http://www.ksbih.ba/SO2016/index.htm

EDIT: There is a Livestream, but the quality leaves a LOT to be desired:

http://ski.ba/#!/extra-streams/Zetra

Polina will be the second to start the SP in her category, which starts at 12:05 CET (11:05 GMT).

Daniella is the 11th to start the SP in her category, which is actually second in the final group (Group 3). It started at 08:00 CET (07:00 GMT), so is actually over now. :slink:

Just wanted to update you on how Daniella Ipsarides and Polina Ustinova got on in Sarajevo.

Unfortunately, Daniella has been very sick for the past 2 weeks. She has been bedridden with a high fever. So, although she did take part in the Advanced Novice Ladies competition (her first of the season), she was not able to perform to her usual standard.

Daniella finished 12th in each segment, and 12th overall. But, considering how sick she has been, she did VERY well.

2016 Sarajevo Open Advanced Novice Ladies SP: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Advanced Novice Ladies FS: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Advanced Novice Ladies: Overall Results

In the SP, she got a half-point deduction for a fall. Now, this was very unfortunate, as half a point was exactly the distance she was behind Croatian skater Iva GLIGORA at the end of the SP. Iva had a fall in the FS to balance things up on that count.

Daniella was definitely the skater that suffered most by having both segments held on the same day. She was in the final group to skate in the SP, and the first skater to go in the FS. :eek: This would have been tough for somebody who was fully healthy, never mind somebody in Daniella’s position. She did put up a valiant fight, but Iva did enough in the FS to hold onto the position.

On the plus side, Daniella did get to meet Liza:

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=1d0d7310f9f82a974bcded7560965f23&oe=572B6EE7

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

In Junior Ladies, Polina also had consistent placings. She was 6th in each segment, and 6th overall.

2016 Sarajevo Open Junior Ladies SP: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Junior Ladies FS: Results; Protocols
2016 Sarajevo Open Junior Ladies: Overall Results

For the whole competition, Polina was in a fight with Croatian skater Valentina MIKAC over 6th and 7th positions. After the SP, there was only 1.36 points between them. Polina was unfortunate to be the first to skate in the FS, and she had a fall. But, when Valentina came on, she had a fall too. So, it balanced things up, and Polina finished ahead of her in the FS by 1.12 points.

So, all the best to the girls in their next competition.
