Too bad. He could have won 10 straight Europeans had he stayed around for Beijing 2022.

Qualifiers for the Grand Prix Final. Astonishing lack of diversity in ladies' event...

So after ice hockey last week, today I'm attending Golden Spin in Zagreb.

 

And unlike in hockey, this is a chance to see Olympians in live, which is quite special.

 

Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier won the rhytm dance.

Horrific fall for Ashley Cain. It looked like she lost consciousness for a couple of seconds. 

 

Somehow she got up and completed.

Shocked results in the women competition at the Russian championship

1 Anna Shcherbakova 229.785 (14 years old) 

2 Alexandra Trusova 229.712 (14 years old) 

3 Alena Kostornaia 226.543 (15 years old) 

4 Stanislava Konstantinova 212.924 

5 Alina Zagitova 212.031 (Olympic champion 2018)

6 Sofia Samodurova 209.776 (Started in the Grand Prix 2018 final)

7 Evgenia Medvedeva 205.901 (Silver olympic medalist 2018).

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva didn't participate.

 

No one from top-3 can't start at the European Championship 2019 because they didn't reach 15 years old for the moment of the official start season (1 July 2018)

Russian new talents are wonderful..... Kostornaia is so in sync with the music, I fallen in love with her style. 

I think Alina is able to get the gold in the European Championship 2019.
