2023 Russian Junior Nationals - Day 1

[Jumping_Bean]

She seems to be holding her ribs coming off the ice, hopefully, that's just shock and she didn't seriously hurt herself on the first fall

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Come on Alina!

That's not really hard, is it?

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Alina is getting better and better as the season progresses

I wonder if Alina could get gold here?

Unless Nika is almost perfect with a 3-quad (+maybe 3A) Free, Alina is definitely getting the gold if she skates like she did for most of the season.

And if Alina does a clean two-quad program, I don't think there's really anything any of the other skaters will be able to do to beat her.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Idk if I have time to watch the full last group I might have to skip Dasha and Vika and maybe even Tasiya as im running late

She really benefited from skating in the senior events this season. Well done, Alina!

I've watched the first 6 girls and blown away by the standard. Maybe it's after watching Europeans and 4CC it's just so jarring.

Why didn't Titova jump a 3-3?

I really enjoyed Lebedeva's program, costume, complete with bindi on her forehead.

Masha G is looks to be back in top form

In juniors 3A can not be a solo jump. It obligued be in combo. So two other jumps should be solo.

 

[Mawwerg]

Great skate! Sadkova is on fire today! Should be in second I believe.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Guess who delayed her leaving so late to watch as much as she could out of the final group that she missed her bus

well I can join via zoom so it doesn't matter but I saw Dasha skate due to that she did wellIm surprised that they left out the difficult exit out of few of her spins. I guess better safe than sorry after she hurt herself on 1 during the cup stage.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Shame about Vika combo landing she is also leaving bunch of points on the table by loosing some spin levels

 

[elektra blue]

girls, as odd as it may sounds, weren't as clean as boys anyway onto dance

 

[Mariiiiskate]

After the short I still have no clue what the podium will end up looking like.

Maria G, Nika and Titova can rise a lot with their tech and claim 1, 2 and 3 but Alina is so well ahead that if she goes clean with 2 4S there's no catching her. Even if she leaves out the quads or if she makes mistake on 1 of the 2 quads the worst she can do is 3rd in my opinion unless 3 out of 4 of Masha G, Lyuba, Nika and Tito land all their ultra Cs.

Dasha needs to be clean in the free and hope the rest mess up for her to stay up on the podium. Agata and Liza are stable but like Dasha they needs to go clean and see how the ultra c jumpers do.
