Apollinariia Panfilova and Dmitry Rylov have announced their retirement.

Don’t mind me, I’ll be grieving the prettiest twist out there for a while.

[alenightshade]

Since pairs skating is dying (and is actually one of my favourite disciplines). Alena going to Pairs makes my heart happy

She deserves much better and the Fed will never have her back as long as they protect Eteri. She could’ve and should’ve won everything for multiple seasons. Anyone who knows Figure skating and has eyes knows that she is special. If she is half as good in pairs, I can’t wait for what’s to come. I will miss her in singles but if this makes her happy, I’m happy for her too

Imagine she consistently lands a throw triple axel? Or that she gets interesting choreo just like Daria P. had?

When pairs teams hit every element in their program so cleanly and precisely it’s really just so incredibly satisfying to watch

ISU Junior Grand Prix USA

    The second stop on the JGP circuit is Lake Placid, NY, USA. This will also be the first event for Pairs, as JGP Courchevel did not have that particular discipline open for competition. With all four disciplines at play here, this will kick the Junior Grand Prix in full swing.

 This event will mark the international debut of Alysa Liu (USA), who made headlines for winning the Senior U.S. National Title last season. A jumping machine, Alysa will most likely attempt the triple axel at this event, which would make her the youngest to ever do so (the youngest ever right now being Mao Asada). We also know she is capable of quads, as there is footage of her doing quad lutzes in practice. If she hits, she could potentially win here. However, we really have no idea how she will be judged internationally. The skating skills are still in development. She isn’t the fastest person on the ice, and her jumps take considerable wind-up. Her performance at the new Aurora Games was good. The quad looked under-rotated to me. And she lands with almost no speed out of the jump. How the judges score these jumps will be very interesting.

  There will be a considerable amount of competition for Alysa at this event, with particular challenges from the Russians Anastasia Tarakanova and Ksenia Sinitsyna. This will be Tarakanova’s third consecutive year on the junior circuit (she’s so tall, I didn’t realize she was so young lol). After a season of being an Angel of Plushenko, she’s back working with her old coach Svetlana Panova, who also coaches Sinitsyna. Tarakanova can do a quad toe. Will we see it? Based on the Junior Test Skates, I don’t believe so, but we know it could be there soon. Sinitsyna has the added benefit of being 4th from the last Junior Worlds. There’s obvious momentum for her. 

  There are several ladies who could take home a medal at this competition. Recently I saw video of Mana Kawabe (JPN) training a triple axel, and it looked pretty solid. I had never really heard anything about her, but after some quick research, I’d be interested to see how she does. Out of all the skaters, she has some of the greatest fundamental skating skills. Another one of my personal favorites in this field is Alexandra Feigin (BUL), who will be in her third season on the JGP. She has the benefit of experiencing a lot of competition from last season, competing at Europeans and Senior Worlds as well as all the Junior events. She’s finished no higher than 8th at a Junior Grand Prix, but I expect her to climb here.

   Ice Dance is the second strongest field here. Avonley Nguyen/Vadim Kolesnik (USA) qualified to the Final last season, and will expect to return this year. They’ve got some great qualities, and they were relatively consistent last season, ending with a 4th place finish at Junior Worlds. The other team that intrigues me is Diana Davis/ Gleb Smolkin (RUS). Diana is the daughter of Russian figure skating coach Eteri Tutberidze. They’ve got this sass and fire I really enjoy. One team that turned some heads recently is Utana Yoshida/Shingo Nishiyama (JPN). Training in Canada currently, the pair competed at a Canadian competition as a special guest, and looked pretty solid! Ice Dance in Japan is virtually nonexistent. With only one really good team (Komatsubara/Koleto), this junior team will look to steadily improve and hopefully inspire an Ice Dance movement in the country, which already has a strong singles skating tradition.

   Pairs will be interesting, as the Russians will be pushing for a sweep here. All three Russian teams medaled on the Junior Grand Prix last year, with two teams, Apollinaria Panfilova/Dmitri Rylov and Ksenia Akhanteva/Valeri Kolesov reaching the Final. Panfilova/Rylov are also the World Junior silver medalists. Since the World Junior Champions Anastasia Mishina/Alexander Galiamov moved to the senior circuit, the top Russian spot will be wide open for any of these teams to grab, and that competition begins here.

  It’s only week two, y’all! The Junior Grand Prix has been on fire so far, and the competition is only bound to get better as the weeks progress. I really think this year will be anyone’s game, as the field is much more diverse than in previous seasons.

Beautiful!!

[figureskatingconfessions]

“I’m becoming increasingly worried that Panfilova will outgrow Rylov. Their lifts and throws are spectacular, but the lifts look like he’s struggling because her legs are so far out of his center of balance and they only had 20cm between them to begin with.”

triple twists + perfect level & GOE

Tarasova/Morozov | 2018 European Championships SP | 3Tw4 with all +3 GOE for a total of 8.70

Panfilova/Rylov | 2020 Youth Olympics FS | 3Tw4 with all +5 GOE for a total of 9.00

[figure-skating-confessions]

“At this rate of inconsistency, Tarasova/Morozov aren't going to medal at worlds and will be thrown out by either Panfilova/Rylov or Mishina/Galiamov next season.“

I don’t know anything about ice dance, so I don’t know who was robbed, or if there was any robbing involved in this comp, but can I just say, the fact the Russian team who won had their RD set to Stilyagi gives me life. Seriously that was one of my wishes for this season. Why skate to a typical broadway musical when there is an amazing russian one available. 

Seriously every one go watch Stilyagi. The music is amazing. The dances are amazing. The story is great. The ending makes me cry every time. 

Yuma Kagiyama Youth Olympic champion!!! That FS was something else. And Yuma is quickly becoming one of my favourite skaters.

I was rooting for Ksenia Sinitsyna, but Young You won fair and square. Also “Don’t cry for me Argentina” gets me every time. 

Not Ksenia’s best skate, but she has the choreo of the whole event by a mile. Her programs are just that good. 

Just the whole Pairs event. It was great. Almost everyone was clean/cleanish. Great performances from most the participants. (well the ukrainian and chinese teams did not have a good outing, but that’s it). 

Flemming/Isbell, making their international debut, straight from the novices, at freaking Youth Olympics, and killing it. Great elements. Polished. Good choreo. Great skating. 

McIntosh/Toste should get a medal for the fact that  they keep getting better with every comp. That’s progress for you. The rate is amazing. Their FS was one the moments of this competition. 

Butaeva/Berulava’s costumes and choreo for the FS which is very nice. 

Panfilova/Rylov destroying the competition. Finally a perfect skate after three not that good outings. And a nice redemption from RusNats. Here the throws were on point.
