Having someone doesn’t automatically guarantee that the skater will be suddenly able to do jumps. If I was with him for ten years I still won’t be able to do a triple jump. Being a great coach is no guarantee that they can teach jumps absolutely anyone. So maybe Mariah Bell’s luck of jumps is caused by her lack of abilities, talent of whatever, than by his?
I'm not really sure why you'd go to - what has he done for Mariah, when the very clear comparison here is Nathen who has landed all the quads bar axel (as has Trusova) and who he also coached via Zoom when Nathen was away.
I'm pretty sure Sasha would kill to be able to train with Nathan, to the point her family would send her to the US to train if feasible.
And actually i think Mariah improved a lot under Raf to be honest. She is not a natural jumper so everything she gets is through hard work and up until Covid had progressed quite well.

Love it, it really suits her!!Trusova's a redhead! Imagine how much hair color that job would take.
Love the shade. It would be so cool if she'd trim off some of those damaged ends, but good colour, suits her. I wonder if she'd go darker?

Davydov also coaches junior Sofia Samodelkina as well as Anna Frolova & Ksenia Tsibinova:

My bets would be on Kostornaia (provided she has the 3a back) and Usacheva rounding out the top 6, with Nugumanova, Khromykh and Frolova as the 3 reserve skaters.«Загитовой и Медведевой в сборной делать нечего». Что говорят эксперты и болельщики о составе на олимпийский сезон - 24 апреля 2021 - Sport24
Совсем скоро все решится.
Google translated highlights:
The FFKKR should decide on the composition of the national team by May 10, by June 1, the Ministry of Sports will approve it. The main composition of the adult women's team will include 6 skaters, 3 more will be included in the reserve - these girls will be entitled to participate in international competitions. During the season, changes can be made to the lists, but with the condition of maintaining the number.
The members of the federation will have to seriously break their heads - 11 figure skaters fulfilled the approved criteria of the Ministry of Sports at once. And this is not counting the main stars of the end of the past and the beginning of this Olympic cycle - Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva . Both Alina and Zhenya have not officially announced their retirement yet.
First, let's figure out what these criteria are:
World Championship (a place in the top 15);
Stage of the Grand Prix (place in the top-8);
Championship of Russia (place in the top 6);
Russian Cup - the sum of the stages or the final (place in the top 5);
Championship of Russia among juniors (place in the top 6).
In other seasons, the European Championship and (every four years) the Olympic Games are added to this list.
Anna Shcherbakova, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and Alexandra Trusova will perform at the international level at 99.99% next season - all of them are current World Championship medalists. Moreover, each fulfilled almost all the criteria (of course, we do not count the championship among juniors): Tuktamysheva was prevented by the 7th place in the National Championships for a full set, Trusova and Shcherbakova missed the final of the Russian Cup series (although they still entered the top 5 in terms of the sum of stages), also Shcherbakova missed the Moscow stage of the Grand Prix.
For sure, we will see Kamila Valieva in the new season - thanks to the silver in the Russian championship and the victory in the Cup final. Thus, four out of six places have already been taken.
Seven skaters who have fulfilled at least one criterion of the Ministry of Sports:
Alena Kostornaia - despite a nondescript season and missing several tournaments (including the Russian championship), Alena took silver at the Moscow stage of the Grand Prix;
Anastasiia Guliakova - performed more often than Kostornaia, [12th at] Russian championship, but became the 3rd at the Grand Prix;
Elizaveta Nugumanova - the star of the entire figure skating Tik Tok became 5th in the Grand Prix and 6th in the Russian championship
Sofia Samodurova - 7th place at the Grand Prix [10th at Russian championship]
Daria Usacheva - 4th place in the Russian championship, bronze in the Russian Cup final, 4th place in the overall standings of the Russian Cup series;
Maiia Khromykh - 5th place in the National Championships, silver in the final of the Russian Cup series;
Anna Frolova - 5th place in the Russian Cup series final, 5th place in the overall Russian Cup series standings.
Who exactly from this list will be included in the composition for the next season, it is up to the federation to decide.
Who?
Stepsisters meaning they are devoid of personality that sets them apart from others or just plain have no appeal.Who?
Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks soI love Usacheva. She is a beautiful skater!
That's ridiculous, Anna is World Champion and the top skater in the World right now.
That doesn’t mean much how good someone is this season. Last season Kostornaya was at the top and this season she wasn’t even sent to worlds.
It says something very positive about a skater’s interpretative skill if I can watch a Moulin Rouge program without rolling my eyes. Only Josefin and Daria have managed that this year for me.
