Choose your Russian team to the Worlds, Europeans, Junior Worlds
- Thread starter The Finn
- Start date
I don't know about juniors, but in seniors, in order of seniority because I am not sure how medals will go exactly:
Ladies: Tuktamysheva, Radionova, Medvedeva
Men: Voronov, Kovtun, really don't know about third
Ice Dance: BS, IZ (Worlds) and SB for Euros (although I would love YM to sneak in for Euros)
Pairs: VT, SK, AR
Ladies: Tuktamysheva, Radionova, Medvedeva
Men: Voronov, Kovtun, really don't know about third
Ice Dance: BS, IZ (Worlds) and SB for Euros (although I would love YM to sneak in for Euros)
Pairs: VT, SK, AR
Whether is it possible to send three participants from one country to Youth Olympics?
It is not possible. Russia has two spot in ladies which is the maximum one country can have.
Ladies 2016-17 JGP season looks extremely interesting and I thought I will include that event here as well.
So, these would be the skaters I would like to see in JGP next year.
Polina Tsurskaya
Alisa Fedichkina
Anastasia Gubanova
Elizaveta Nugumanova
Alisa Lozko
Anna Tarusina
Ekaterina Mitrofanova

Great choice!
Three of these skaters can skate at JGP Russia in Saransk next season. That will be the 1st ever JGP event in Russia. That is great news.

Don't know about Menshov but after NHK Trophy I too hope that we will not see Kovtun neither at the Europeans nor at the Worlds. Instead of him I would rather see one of the guys we haven't seen at the major championships before, like Kolyada or Dmitriev.
It looks like Russian team at Youth Olympics would look like this
Dmitri Aliev
Polina Tsurskaya
Maria Sotskova
Ekaterina Borisova / Dmitry Sopot
Alina Ustimkina / Nikita Volodin
Anastasia Skoptcova / Kirill Aleshin
Anastasia Shpilevaya / Grigory Smirnov
The team must be decided before junior nationals, so, for most skaters there are no major competitions left before the decisions has to be made. Sima could still make it if she would be outstanding at the Russian nationals but I doubt she would be chosen if she only narrowly beats Sotskova.

Now that JGP season will be over soon I checked the ones who had their last junior season.
Not eligible for juniors next season
Betina Popova / Yuri Vlasenko
Sofia Evdokimova / Egor Bazin
Anastasia Gubanova / Alexei Sintsov. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they will split after this season.
Will most likely move to seniors but are eligible for juniors
Maria Sotskova
Serafima Sakhanovich
Might go to seniors I guess
Dmitri Aliev
Alexander Samarin
Next season will be their last season at juniors.
Alla Loboda / Pavel Drozd
Anastasia Poluianova / Stepan Korotkov

I agree with you on Gubanova/Sintsov. It's surprising that they have done so well (getting into JGPF, being 4th at Jun worlds last season, getting three medals out of four JGP events in this and last season), considering that they don't have a triple and double axel. For me they don't even stand out in anything. Fedorova/Miroshkin and Vygalova/Zakroev didn't have the jumps, but there was something in their skating that made me watch them. Gubanova/Sintsov doesn't have that.
Speaking of Fedorova/Miroshkin, I am curious if she used the season Miroshkin needs for recovery to learn jumps. She doesn't need to work on programs this season and can't work on pair elements on her own, so I would hope that she has been working hard on triples and maybe next season we won't recognise them, how they will come back improved.
It was disappointing that neither Vygalova nor Zakroev skated with their new partners at the Russian cups. I was hoping that they could be ready perhaps at least for the last one. But if they paired with a complete pair beginner, it may take a while before they are competitive. Hopefully the next season.

Sima has a chance if she can beat Alisa at Junior Nats (late January) with a good margin - otherwise I'd say no
Apparently they don't need to decide the Youth Olympic team before Junior Nationals. Officially the last entry day is 18 January but I guess they can name multiple substitutes to the Youth Olympics and because of that they can decide after the the junior nationals who they will actually send to the competition.
