Now it's time for Tracy to go to museums with TAT I think it's good that Brian stays in Toronto now and he's there for Yuzu. Btw, there's a long interview with Zhenya with English subtitles (it was made mid-January): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The following skaters will take part in the Russian Cup Final MEN: Roman Savosin, Vladimir Samoylov, Konstantin Milyukov, Artem Lezheev, Anton Shulepov, Artem Kovalev, Artur Dmitriev, Makar Ignatov, Dmitry Aliev, Andrei Lazukin, Vladislav Katichev LADIES: Anastasia Gulyakova, Anna Tarusina, Anastasia Gubanova, Maria Talalaikina, Elizaveta Nugumanova, Victoria Vasilyeva, Serafima Sakhanovich, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Evgenia Medvedeva, Stanislava Konstantinova, Anastasia Gracheva, Alena Leonova The SP will take place this coming Thursday, on February 21, on February 22 they will skate their free program. Rather ironic Zhenya will be skating an internal competition on the anniversary of her Olympic skate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yume Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I don't know if fed couldn't wait after universiade to decide the worlds team, but big big mistake for Tuktamysheva to be in that competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodie axel Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It would be a shame to see Tukt off the team in favor of Med, after the way they each delivered all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yume Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Well Tukt is unlucky. Because i'm 99% sure that she would have get her spot at nats without that pneumonia. She's doubly unlucky because Medvedeva is in the same fight than her for that last spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeandlegacy2018 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Med is a safe pick for Rus Fed though. She can save three spots with just her PCS. She probably still has the highest PCS of the current ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Tuk even with mistakes and lower PCS was around 70 and 130 as her lowest scores in GPs. I just hope that these two more weeks will be enough for Tuk to get back her first part of season's shape. Because obviously being back on competition at Dragon trophy barely one month after getting out of hospital was not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure_Frenzy Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 For Worlds team, I of course wish that Zhenya can make the team, though I definitely won't hold my breath for it — I feel pretty much resigned about it as long as they don't send Stasya (now that's madness I tell you!) to Worlds — I won't think too much of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yume Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Well if Konstantinova is the cleanest and put two clinic performances on ice, i don't see why she souldn't get the spot... But IMO, there is no way Medvedeva won't get that spot if she doesn't make an obvious costly mistake. No matter how the other two will skate.

airi Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I really feel stressed for Liza because I want her make the team so much... I really hope DT was just a fluke, just like her first challenger in September that wasn't the best and she will be brilliant here. I don't want Zhenya to fail but come on, Liza deserves this! Why is this even in question still? How many chances Zhenya had this season? She should focus on next season - she WILL get better, I believe she can compete with Eteri girls when she has more time (and maybe can up tech a little...). I know all figure skating world loves her but even if she skates well at one competiton in Russia, giving her a spot over Liza? Also Stanislava is always skating good at domestic comps so maybe she will somehow get it again I also hope Alina is finally ok, I don't think there's any talk of her not going, so... Also maybe Dima can have a strong skates and fight for a spot...? That's even less likely than any scenario in ladies, but I can dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yume Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 In any other country the team would have been settled now. Or there would have been only two clear finalists for that spot. Tukt and Konstantinova. I don't see other fed still giving a chance to someone who performes badly since the beginning of the season and consider to put her above someone who made a hell of a comeback, was consistent with a high technical arsenal, has a high potential scoring, and didn't have a disaster at her last comp despite being seriously ill a month ago. Russian men have two or three spots? I want to see Kovtun at worlds. But if there is only two spots then i hope Kolyada will get the 2nd, since Samarin already has the first.

Samarin’s in, all the others are open options so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
