Glad you made it to Africa! I very much hope you'll make it to Nats, my friend.You are right in correcting me but it does not change the main idea. When I wrote the OP I did not know that Z/G are going to have problems and D/S are going to rise. Now "the sure" podium is S/K, S/B, and D/S. It's dance.
I shall post the list of participants as soon as we have the official one.
As for me personally, I have bought full event tickets for me and my wife and I bought also tickets Moscow - St.Petersburg. What can go wrong? We are currently in Africa coming back on Dec.21. I hope they won't place us under the quarantine to ruin both the trip to Rusnats and New Year.
I know the feeling. I'd love to go to Canada for Worlds one day, but it's the same travel difficulties.I would love to go see RusNats one day, but even without Covid, itβs not easy.![]()
Iβm still beating myself up for choosing Montrealβs WC over Tallinnβs JWC in 2020, but I will give a shot to Montreal in 2024. I really hope that JWC in 2023 wonβt get cancelled, because itβs like a dream come true to have it n Calgary!I know the feeling. I'd love to go to Canada for Worlds one day, but it's the same travel difficulties.
my sister will spend christmas holydays with her in laws so Christmas with our golden skate family and rusnats!Due to my health complications I cannot go see my parents for Christmas but hey, yay for me, at least there's something to look forward to.. Russian Christmas Nats with Ted..![]()

Upcoming Russian Nationals are not only the qualifying event for the Olympics. For me they are the test of the grandeur of Eteri driven system. Yulia was a phenomenon, a wonder. So was Zhenja at her prime. At the same time, the mechanism was working - the clock was ticking. I expect that this year we shall finally have a constellation of mega talent - the best athletes this sport has ever seen at their prime.
Anna Scherbakova - the reigning WC, a 3 time National champion
Kamila Valieva - the reigning JWC, the only skater who could beat clean Anna with quads
Alexandra Trusova - "Russian rocket" - the only skater who tried 5 quads in one program, the skater who has potentially astronomical BV
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva - 2015 WC and the reigning WSM. She is rumored to work on 4T. If she manages to add it to her 3 3As, her BV will be high enough to be competitive with almost everyone.
Maja Khromykh - the third chain in "VUK" link. She was lagging behind "V" and "U" until she finally showed that she can land clean quads. And it has changed everything...
These skaters are the core. But there will be many other wonderful skaters.
I won't comment much on other events. It does not mean that they are not interesting. On the oppoosite. In men we finally have 3 spots. Misha's place looks firm. But what about 2 other spots? Evgenij Semenenko made a wonder during the last worlds having shown outstanding reliability under stress. But, I am sure, he will have to fight with Aliev, Samarin, Ignatov, Kondratyuk, Mozalev, Gumenik, and Danielyan.
In pairs it looks like 2 spots are taken: M/G and B/K. Who would think? Does it mean that the third spot will automatically go to T/M? I am not sure - there definitely will be some drama.
I don't follow dance. It seemed that as usual we knew everything before it even started. S/K, S/B, and Z/G. However, there is a twist with the meteoric rise of D/S whom many call "the daughter" as if there is no partner in the team.
Tickets went on sale today at 10 a.m. At 10-10 I started to click on the seats on the map - but they had been already gone. At 10-20 it was completely empty. I refreshed the site several times to be on the safe side. And finally 2 nice all day tickets showed up! So that I bought 2 center seats at the 5th row for the official price of $250 per seat. And now I can watch whatever I want! And I want to see everything!
he is wonderful!Ted is very nice. Once I emailed him why he didn't interview Tarakanova and he replied with an apology that she ran off before he could get to her..![]()
