Sofia Samodelkina from CSKA lost a little to her, jumping a double sheepskin coat instead of a triple one.

Teenagers Valieva, 14, and Semenenko, 17, captured victories at the Russian Cup Final over the weekend (February 27 and 28) in Moscow, as skaters jockeyed for world championships team positions in the year ahead of the Beijing 2022 Winter Games.
The Russian skating federation is expected to name its world team roster this coming week.
Valieva is still age ineligible for worlds, as are fellow top three finishers Maiia Khromykh (2nd) and Daria Usacheva (3rd). 2015 world champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, 24, was fourth, a finish that could book her a ticket to Stockholm over Alena Kostornaia, who placed sixth.
Here, five things we learned from the skating weekend that was in Moscow.
Valieva ready for senior success There will be no worlds in Stockholm for Valieva, but the 2020 junior world champion is building nicely to a senior debut next season, just in time for the coming Olympics.
PyeongChang 2018 gold medallist Alina Zagitova made her senior debut in the lead-up to her Olympic triumph, and Valieva, coached by Zagitova mentor Eteri Tutberidze, could be following the same blueprint.
She scored a 238.00 overall to seal her victory, landing one quadruple jump in her free skate while trying two others. She also hit a triple Axel in the program, set to the famed “Bolero.”
Valieva was second behind training mate Anna Shcherbakova at Russian nationals in December, and – armed with quads and a triple Axel – will look to make a splash similar to that of Shcherbakova, Kostornaia and Alexandra Trusova during the 2019-20 season.
Worlds: Will Tuktamysheva make a return? While there was no podium at Russian Cup for Tuktamysheva, the skating veteran showed her patented resolve with a fourth-place finish after a disappointing seventh at Russian nationals in December.
While the worlds team is yet to be announced, it is seen to already include national medallists Shcherbakova and Trusova, meaning Tuktamysheva’s Russian Cup result – first among age-eligible skaters – could book her a first worlds appearance since her victory at the event in 2015.
“I'm calling it now, Tuktamysheva will be back at her first world championships since winning it in 2015 six years ago,” wrote figure skating analyst Jackie Wong on Twitter.
Wong also pointed to improved technical content from Tuktamysheva, who landed two triple Axels in her free (including one in combination), as well as a triple Lutz-triple toe combo.
