It seems Liza still will be competing!

Yay for fans, but if she truly is injured...

She is not injured, she is ill. She was feeling sick today, and her temperature was really low, she missed morning practice. But her coach Svetlana said the they will decide depending on Liza's well being.

Thanks for the clarification. Now I'm feeling more like and less

Final group at Russian Nationals is on the ice, Liza is here.

Liza was very pale, but she is a fighter and skated pretty well, got 127.07 and is leading right now.
For Leonova I have no words, she had awful skate again and she was massively overscored and finished ahead of Ksusha

Just saw that on my twitter feed. Good for her! Such a fighter!

Morozov's "magic" again. Does this mean she's on the Euro/Worlds team?

I just saw the results for everyone. Where are Bazarova/Larionov? And Gachinski didn't medal, does this mean the season is over for him?

On the other note, I'm so happy for Katya/Dimka! National champions again!!!

Bazarova/larionov WD cause of new skate boots. There will still be a Federation council where a final team will be announced, so for sure who is going to Euros Worlds ,we can say only for few skaters. Lol, I love how you called Dima

Thanks for explaining.
About Dima/Dimka, it's how my russian ballet teacher always called Dimitri, (he was another russian dancer who was guest performing in the school show) so it kind of stuck with me.

Yes it quite usual version of name Dmitri, more cute way you can add it to other name ,for example Liza-Lizka

I haven't watched the video yet but congratulations to Liza !
The young russian girls are awesome in many ways, I always enjoy watching them. I'm no expert in rules and the scoring system, but I sometime feel they are underscored in int'l competitions.

Also, I love their costumes, especially Liza and Adelina that use costumes and tights in the same color.

Poor Liza.

So. . . Lena has a good chance to win the title at the ripe age of 13?

Remember that there is still Adelina in 2nd, 2.50 points ahead of Lena... However, she didn't have good FS performances this season so far, yes, so Lena has a chance is she skates clean!

Gooo Lena! Adelina and Liza both won Russian nats at a very young age (12 or 13 y/o), if I remember correctly...

No,Liza has never won Russian Nationals.

Oops, my mistake. But at present we can definitely say Liza's a national champion!!!! Yeheeeeeesssss!!! Liza was ill when she competed in the FS, right? I really admire her fighting spirit.

Yes, and I hope she'll medal at Europeans. I don't see her winning it since Caro will be there, not to mention Kiira (judges love her), but I hope she'll be able to grab silver or bronze.

Liza interview with IN! No mention of her new programs though

I don't understand russian at all but I figured they were talking a bit about Mao here https://youtu.be/Mb9tPRxt1pE?t=9m10s
Does anyone know what they were saying? Thanks!

They asked Liza how it is to compete with top athletes like Mao and Carolina and Liza said that she didn't compete with Mao yet It was last season interview)

ahaha thanks ! Yes she has ground a lot since last season, she had such a baby face How cute!

I've been browsing through ISU challengers to see when Kiira will compete (she'll be at Golden Spin ) and I've noticed that Liza is competing this weekend at Warsaw Cup and is scheduled to compete at Golden Spin as well. I know she and her team know best, but isn't this too much? She's been to Nebelhorn, Finlandia, 2 grand prix's, now Warsaw, (possibly?) Golden Spin and GPF?! Then there's Nationals which is almost the most important competition and I worry she'll burn out by then.
Since she's qualified for GPF, I hope she'll skip Golden Spin at least. Even so, she'll be heading to nationals with 6 competitions under her bealt. I don't know, to me this seems a lot, but I guess Mishin knows what he's doing.

I just want to see her on the Euro and Worlds team so badly.

@Zarinaballerina Liza said she lost her competitve experience so she needs to get it back. And with each competition she gets more confidence. I also think that maybe Golden spin is too much, but between her last GP event and GPF is quite a lot of time so I guess she can take part in one competition)

Thanx for the explanation, polosatik. It's great that she's becoming more confident, but I just worry she might over do it.
Anyway, Liza just slayed the Varsaw cup with a total score of 196+. She also got a 128+ for LP with no 3-3. I really feel this might be her year, now she just needs to take care of herslef and not over force it.

And please withdraw from Golden Spin.
here's the official result page:

And a bit off topic; I'm over the moon for the new Canadian pair Ilyuschenkina/Moscovitch. I hope they have a great career ahead of them. Lyubov has been out of competition for so long, it's amazing how good she already is.
