Sara and Kirill are going to the World Championships http://www.fedhielo.com/sara-hurtado-kirill-jalyavin-representaran-a-espana-en-el-mundial/

The medal ceremony at ACI was really fun, it brings back the memories I think Roman was just really distracted by all the photographers, cameras and maybe by the fact the the two-time Olympic champion was standing next to him so he simply didn't notice what Yuzu wanted But I'm laughing how he explained it, he's funny Btw, I came across one of his videos and sorry for being OT but he talked a bit about 4A too and it's really good:

Trusova's PCS at the senior nationals was 65, and today she got almost 72. With a 67-68 PCS she'd have got the silver and Alena the gold. I just hope there'll be fair scoring at Junior Worlds... Only the Top 3 from J. Nats were selected for J Worlds in the past four years - the last time it didn't happen was because Radionova skipped J. Nats because of injury but then she was selected to J Worlds. So probably they'll send the Top 3, and if it happens it'll be the first time that all three girls at J Worlds are from Eteri's team.

Trusova wins this and Anna will be third

What a beautiful skate it was She couldn't because the TES difference was too big and they gave those monster PCS to Trusova.

She won the bronze medal at JGP Lithuania, which was her first international junior competition I think... Her music choice for the free skate is really beautiful.

Ksenia skated beautifully and she goes into second place

Yeah, the scores don't surprise me. Good for her that she skated well, it is safer layout without the Quad Lutz, her 4T is much better for which she can get higher GOE too.

164 and PCS almost 72 I mean she landed her jumps but still...

That less than 0.5 point behind Erokhov And I noticed that if Artur fails to do the first element, he often loses concentration after that, which happened today too. Probably he really wanted to land the 4S but he popped it and then fell apart a bit. It's such a pity...

Men end result: Protocol: https://www.fsrussia.ru/results/1819/junnat1819/o__Scores.pdf Artur will miss Junior Worlds The 4S pop was very costly, with a safer layout and clean triples he could have got a medal here...

Yeah, the mistake was surprising, and it's very costly in the SP. She's out of the last group tomorrow. The free skate will be interesting. SP protocol: https://www.fsrussia.ru/results/1819/junnat1819/e_K_Scores.pdf Ksenia skated really well and I am happy for Nastya staying on the third place. Men's SP result: Ladies SP result:

Even if she has an edge in tech she shouldn't go anywhere near Kostornaia's PCS so I hope her score will be below 80.

And Alena goes into 1st place with an otherwordly beautiful skate. It's well-deserved imo, if both clean she should be above Anna S.

First mistake at this event - Frolova had a random fall, but then she nailed 3Lz-3T and 3F very nicely

Hasn't she grown a bit lately? She looks even taller than before. I think the new costume and different make-up also make her look older. There were so many great skates already in the first group. The depth of the field is incredible

He's 13, he was born in July 2005. He's really a promising talent, but he's still very young.

I loved Artur's SP, even with the step-out from the 3F, it was a great performance. His 3A was big, beautiful and effortless. I liked Petr's disco csardas too, he skated well. Samsonov is great, his skating is very Tutberidze team-style. A liked his musicality. He's still very young and I am curious how he'll compete in the next coming years.

I moved the posts about Russian Junior Nationals to this thread. Results page for Russian junior Nationals: https://www.fsrussia.ru/results/1819/junnat1819/index.htm? Last group of the men is coming after ice resurfacing. So far Samosonov leads with 87.01, Gumennik second with 85.94 and Mozalev third with 79.85.

Oh dear, I totally continued posting in the Team Spain thread about Javi. I am not ready for this at all

Russian Juniors Nationals are coming up this weekend. Ladies entry list: Streaming links:

Good for her Shows will be in April and May.

Yes, they had to give higher scores for Javi and Kolyada, after they gave those PCS to Kovtun and then Samarin. Imagine if there were only 2 or 3 points difference in PCS between Samarin and Javi...they didn't want to make it happen.
