Narizhny is injured; he had surgery on his right knee back in January, couldn't recover properly and after some time, the doctors advised him to have another one. I believe I saw somewhere in the news that the second surgery was at the beginning of December, so they are definitely missing the...

And Mironova/Ustenko are in third Happy for them as they are the only St Petersburg ice dancers, and have improved a lot recently despite less ice time and funding. And their coach always tries to get them out of the country for internships or choreo (they went to Shpilband last year and to MIDA...

Has ties to Stas Boretsky (I am glad I have no idea who he is :yikes:) - there was a pic of unknown origin from some public event Family ties - his father is a priest in an orthodox church in St Petersburg -> spreading nationalism and also participating in governmental events (my guess)

That was totally expected from them, and I believe they were simply waiting for the official IOC Committee decision to officially send this letter to the IOC and ISU. I remember the same happening before the 2024 Paris Olympics as well, and it is within their rights. And I also doubt anything...

Petrosian and Gumennik have been declared eligible and have been invited to participate in the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games by the IOC following the The Individual Neutral Athlete Eligibility Review Panel (AINERP)...

Gallyamov had a very serious leg injury back in March (from the Channel 1 event on Baikal lake), he underwent a surgery and couldn’t train properly till summer. It might be still an issue with lack of training/ physical form.

Gumennik proved the doubters wrong today, and skated an amazing free program. Some under-rotations and a room to grow presentation wise, but a clear winner today https://youtu.be/Or9joMZeXZM?si=E_iYxjocN5qXgCYz And he said he will fly to California prior to Russian Nationals to work with...

Regarding current Ice Dance requirements: Alla Shekhovtsova said that they are creating new skill tests for junior ice dance teams. Basically she said that while Russian ice dancers are now much better at executing specific elements, being artistic and creative, their basic footwork and turns...

I guess the things is (besides the stupid fan wars) that Dikidzhi won Nationals, but Peter won Russian Cup Final that was announced to be a decider event for the Men’s quota I do think the Fed did the right choice for several reasons, plus it’s not like Dikidzhi has been flawless this season

I have no idea how to explain the concept of this RD to non-Russian speakers, but I am at a loss for words It's so ultimately trashy that it makes it's good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkH74b5O2QY&list=RDXkH74b5O2QY&start_radio=1

Russian men are way more enjoyable than Russian ladies or any other discipline. Loved Semenenko’s SP program yesterday, loved Savosin today even despite the mistakes, Ignatov finally hasn’t died by the third minute, very decent skates for the top skaters as well Gumennik said that he took some...

Bit interview with Zachary (by Maya Bagriantseva, in Russian) https://www.sports.ru/figure-skating/blogs/3363697.html don’t pat too much attention to the headline, though

In post skate interview they said that it was Stars Morozov’s idea. Apparently he suggested it once to V/T before the 2014 Olympic season, but Tatiana and Max decided not to take this risk (didn’t know how the judges would react, and they had a consistent triple toe already). Kozlovskii also...

Stas Morozov managed to somehow fix Boikova and Kozlovskii after a hot mess of a season they had last year. She two-footed the quad throw, but the quality of the other events was amazing, and they are finally skating with confidence
