Dance: Will Sinitsina/Katsalapov pick up where they left off? The last time we saw Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov on international ice they edged out four-time world champs Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron for gold at Europeans and January, the first loss for the French team since the 2018 Olympic Games. The two-time and reigning Russian champs will not face off against Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin, who withdrew from Rostelecom Cup having contracted COVID-19 and saying that they did not feel fully ready to compete again in their recovery, according to Tass.ru. http://instagram.com/p/CGnQ0oZDZRL Tiffani Zagorski and Jonathan Guerreiro will skate, however, Zagorski herself having had COVID earlier this year. Pairs: Top teams eye podium Just last weekend some of the best pairs teams gave us a preview of what’s to come in Moscow during the fourth stage of the Cup of Russia, with Anastasia Mishina and Aleksandr Galliamov emerging victorious over Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov (2nd) and Aleksandra Boikova and Dmitrii Kozlovskii (3rd) in a high-quality event. Tarasova/Morozov will not compete in Moscow, but Mishina/Galliamov, the 2019 world junior champs, and Boikova/Kozlovskii, the reigning Russian and European champs, will, as well as the three pairs teams that swept the junior podium at worlds this past year, led by champions Apollinariia Panfilova and Dmitry Rylov, the same duo that won gold at Lausanne 2020. Daria Pavliuchenko and Denis Khodykin, another top Russian team, are out due to illness for Khodykin, which their coach said was not COVID-19.

The current European champion Alena Kostornaya won the short program at the Grand Prix stage in Moscow. The second place was taken by the world and European champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, and the third place was taken by the two-time world champion among juniors Alexandra Trusova. Kostornaya instead of a triple axel jumped a double. The famous coach Tatyana Tarasova believes that this is due to the fact that Alena began to train her programs later than everyone else. It takes more time to confidently jump the triple axel. According to the Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin, commenting on the competition, Tuktamysheva performed a brilliant triple axel, but made a mistake on a triple flip. Trusova fell from a triple axel. In the kiss and cry, the skater was supported by her coach, two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko, who said that, despite the mistake, today she skated well, very emotionally. Figure skating. Grand Prix 2020/21. Stage 3, Moscow, Russia Women. Short program 20 November 2020, Friday. 19:25 UTC 1 Alena Kostornaya Russia 78.84 2 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva Russia 74.70 3 Alexandra Trusova Russia 70.81

Anna Shcherbakova, the two-time reigning Russian national figure skating champion, withdrew on the morning of the start of Rostelecom Cup due to illness, according to Russia’s skating federation. Shcherbakova, a 16-year-old early 2022 Olympic medal favorite, has pneumonia, according to Russian media reports. Her absence means there will not be a showdown among the world’s top three female singles skaters at Rostelecom Cup, an annual Grand Prix Series event in Moscow. Peacock Premium live streams the competition here. NBC airs coverage Saturday and Sunday from 4-6 p.m. ET. Last season, Shcherbakova and fellow teens and then-training partners Aliona Kostornaya and Aleksandra Trusova combined to win all six Grand Prix stops, then swept the medals in the year’s biggest competitions — the Grand Prix Final, the Russian Championships and the European Championships. Kostornaya, 17, and Trusova, 16, are entered in Rostelecom Cup. Shcherbakova, known for changing her costume mid-program last season, was the only one of that trio to stay with coach Eteri Tutberidze for this season. Kostornaya and Trusova each moved to the camp of retired four-time Olympic medalist Yevgeny Plushenko. This season, Shcherbakova and Trusova combined to win all four of the domestic Russian Cup stops so far, though they never went head-to-head.

Zagitova, Medvedeva and other notable absences It’s no surprise that Zagitova, now 18, will not be attendance, after the reigning Olympic champion and 2019 winner at worlds said last month she would not skate again until at least 2021. She said in an interview earlier this month that she was unsure of a return of any sort. “We’ll see,” she told Match TV. “Now the coronavirus (situation) is very difficult.” http://instagram.com/p/CGFX9udhqJ0 Medvedeva had remained hopeful that she would be able to skate, but fans were aware she was struggling with a back issue, having pulled out of a Cup of Russia assignment. While Tarasova/Morozov, Pavliuchenko/Khodykin and Stepanova/Bukin are all also out, there will be no Rostelecom Cup for Kamila Valieva, the reigning junior world champ. At 14, she’s still age ineligible for senior international competitions.
