Noo how can you even produce a Keane-cover?! And choosing this for a program..
(Pre-Novice Women)

btw.. this is somehow interesting at this level - everything seems possible, from a 2A to a StSq base in one program.
Others struggle with jumps but manage lvl 3 spins which others can't.

Is this Connaught somewhat big? They seem to have a lot of skaters there, everywhere.

Uff.. a Gloria Gaynor-cover mixed with a Survivor-cover, well the titles are similar.

 

[yesterday]

Wow. From "Diamonds are a Girl's best Friend" to "Material Girl" and back (all weird covers)

 

[yesterday]

The announcer today seems a bit tired <- cheering him up

 

[yesterday]

The announcer today is even funnier, stumbling quite often including on names. Is it you, Ted?

Connaught is in Richmond, a big suburb of Vancouver, with a large Chinese-Canadian population. It's the second oldest skating club in Canada if I recall properly.

Uliana is allowed to compete in a Canadian non-qualifying event while she gets her release done from Russia which is scheduled for December. Her parents are moving to Canada.

Only in international competitions. Shiryaeva isn’t breaking any rules and if stars align will be competing in Canada as her home country.

Please help me to understand what "release from Russia" means for a skater who has only competed domestically in that country. Is this an ISU rule or just politeness?

Canada has many Canadian skaters competing for other countries that similarly did not compete ever for Canada internationally - did they require a Cdn release prior to competing for another country?

technically, there shouldn't be a release from Russia necessary as you have pointed out... I think it's just politeness... they said that it should be done by December... not exactly sure what the process is I think some who are more versed in how things are done in Russia can explain this better... if I read properly, Russia was trying to make it harder for skaters who never competed internationally but ISU said no.

It was never explained who and why has to ‘release’ Shiryaeva from Russia, so She was in a commercial club, so for a while I thought it was a matter of contract, but it sounds as a federation’s release in the articles. Her highest level competition was Russian Nationals.
