This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.
The Channel One Trophy is a team competition to take place in Moscow this week.
Skaters on each team (from the entries below) will be selected by random draw and will perform their short programs and free skate. The team with the highest total score at the end of the competition wins. The team captains are Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva.
A jumping competition will also take place, where four ladies’ skaters compete against four men’s skaters.
Alena Kostornaia has withdrawn from the Channel One Figure Skating competition scheduled for later this week. She is still recovering from the coronavirus.
According to another source, Maiia Khromykh will replace Alena Kostornaia in the Channel One Cup team tournament.
Today the rhythm dance and short programs were performed - first up was the RD, then men SP; then pairs SP; and finally ladies SP. As you might expect, the final discipline was important to the team results with the lead flipping after they all skated.
