What is the new list of junior ladies going to the test skates next week? Will they add another girl now that Kamila won’t be there?

Alina is taking the entrance exam for university today in order to study journalism at RANEPA university. Wishing her good luck!

The rules was different at that time.
Have one skater is a good, have two skaters is the better.
OK, so apparently Anna may not be feds or/and coaching staff favourite... again. So what?
- at 10.5yo, she didn't have triples and Eteri sent her away from the group,
- at 12, she broke her hand and missed Junior Nationals,
- at 13, she broke her leg and missed whole international season and after couple of months of Trusova's showtime many fans lost sight of her,
- at 14, she wiped the ice on every single quad she attempted in the JGP, including 5th place at the Final so people advocated on leaving her in juniors for one more year,
- at 15, she botched the quad at the test skates, so people predicted her fighting for the third spot in the team max.
Yet, she never put her hands down and worked, worked and worked... and it even ended with 2019 TAT's "she's been falling through the whole warm-up, maybe they removed her quad after all..." and 2020 Ted's Barton "she's somewhat the forgotten one..."! :yay:
Davai Anyutik!

Sport-Express states Alina Zagitova's enlisted for the Russian Government's Academy for the next year, effective September.
The wants to become a journalist.
It may be the decision made. Not necessarily bad, but...

My impression is that the Russian figure skating establishment puts a lot of thought into the Olympic Games. Anna Shcherbakova and Aliona Korrornia hit their peak this past season. Alexandra Trusova the year before. Alina Zagitova a year before that. Evgenia Medvedeva a year or two previous, etc.
That was then; this is now; 2022 is the future. I cannot blame any skating federation for looking ahead rather than back.

How do you know they won't peak coming or next season?
I don't think so. Alexandra had a 220 average score last season and never landed 3 clean quads while this season her average score is 235 and she landed 3 clean quads 6 times.

Good luck. But it surprises me that she would want to be in the media.

If Sasha can do her free skate clean or even just 90% clean she will be a monster. She will be Sashzilla!

we don't know that yet, and i don't think we will be able to say for another year or 2 whether or not they hit their peaks this past season.

Maybe her course of study includes being a TV commentator and producing shows.

I hope so. Still, I can't blame the Russian federation for preparing for all possibilities.

I think it's possible that the peaks of these great skaters like 3A could be a two or three-year peak. If Sasha can hit her quads most of the time and adds a triple axel to the short program she will be virtually unbeatable.
It's very possible. But I want Alina to continue to skate competitively for the next couple years. I hope all this university studies and discussion does not mean she's ready to pack it in.
topic: Sorry you guys. I was bored and watching old videos and I came across Elena Sokolova. She was always so much fun and she was brilliant at Worlds in 2003. What is she up to these days......:confused2:She will not.
Even landing all hers and reaching 110-115 TES means only her PCS being zeroed.
Don't ask Intel for 6GHz CPU. Don't ask Toyota for 2L/100km car.
Don't rush the progress too fast.
Money rules. Money likes slow pass. Better to add one quad every 3-4 years... Slowness of the profit brings more profit...
