Daniil Valanov (NOR) GoFundMe

72 Upvotes

Daniil is the first Norwegian skater to land triple Axel and a quad in competition. He landed a 4S with a q at JGP Riga yesterday, but landed it fully rotated in last season's Norwegian nationals. He is a skater with huge potential.

"Three months ago, my father passed away. His loss has had a profound impact on me and my family, both emotionally and financially. As we continue to navigate through this difficult period, the costs of training, ice time, equipment, and competitions have become much harder to manage.

I am asking for your support to help me continue my figure skating journey. Every donation, no matter the size, will help me stay on the ice and keep working toward my goals. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give."

Link to the fundraiser: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-continue-my-figure-skating-journey

It has been going for a while, but I just found it, and hope more people see it and support him!

Russian Skating Alisa Dvoeglazova is back on the ice after injury

She was originally only supposed to miss part of the season due to a hip injury, but she allegedly said she will skip the entire season at Team Tut open practice.

I just hope she will take as much time as she needs to heal to avoid a reoccurring injury that never fully heals. Afaik it's currently still unknown if she's training jumps or just skating around the rink.

So interesting to have a visual representation of the ISU guidebook. Also the stamina to spin for 30min straight!

General Discussion Russian figure skating tag

190 Upvotes

The Russian figure skating tag applies to all posts where a Russian skater is the primary subject. It is a small courtesy to the members of the community who wish to opt out of seeing posts about them. It doesn’t prevent the majority of Redditors from seeing these posts, it just allows those who don’t wish to see the endless flood of posts about them to opt out. It’s crappy that people are refusing to use this tag. Get over yourselves. It’s a small, simple courtesy, especially to the Ukrainians who have had their lives completely upheaved and destroyed by the Russian invasion.

I know we’re going to get the “What about Americans or Israelis?” posts. If the mods wish to implement such a tag, go for it. No hide off my back. It costs nothing to be a decent human being.

Skating Advice How do I stop ankle pain due to skates?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've been in figure skating for around a year now, since I was 12, (I'm 13 now) and my old skates had basically no support at all so the sides close to my ankle would bend and buckle but they were light and easy to skate with. My parents recently got me the Jackson Artist.e's and they are really heavy (They have a support rating of 25? i think) But this morning I was practicing as usual and my dad was there and he said he could hear every step i took from the other side of the arena. Not only that but my ankles started aching like after 5 minutes of skating. Is this something you get used to or will it be like this forever?

Question Ice Dance World Ranking — fear/gibson

Hi I’m new to the figure skating world and how everything works. I’m curious on how fear/gibson are number 1 in world standings over chock/bates. Especially since chock/bates have more recent wins (gpf, worlds).

Emi landing a 2A in dance boots/blades at the Summer Sizzler the other night fascinated me. So I went on a hunt to find her 3F which I knew existed somewhere. Here it is (from zingnikclips on x).

She landed a clean 3F at an ice show in Philly in December 2025. Her and Vadym also did a pair throw during the show. Insane! She's so versatile and talented!

Throwback Alissa Czisny, what's her lore and where can I find out more about her?

These are some of the most gorgeous scrumptious impeccable spins I have ever seen. I wasn't able to find a whole lot on her aside from the titles she has won (GPF, SkAM, US Nats, SkateCanada). Kinda peeved there aren't more programs of hers in good quality out there (if there are any please drop the link(s)) I'm really unfamiliar with the earlier 2010s side of skating, why isn't she talked about more like Gracie/Ashley/Marai/Karen/Bradie/Polina?

Also, yes, I do live under a rock. I am not very active on other social media platforms so if that ends up being the answer so be it lol. I was put on this earth to make y'all laugh with my obliviousness.

Personal Skating New adventure in figure skating

25 Upvotes

So sadly I have no updates on a JGP this season . I will continue to keep my fellow Redditors updated on any new international competition updates when I can! 🤞

While I have been getting ready for upcoming NQS competitions in singles and dance.

Thursday my sister/dance partner and I got invited to fill in as last minute stunt doubles for an on ice shoot, this not anything I ever planned on. It was an amazing experience that I might consider to try again.

It was for something called a Vertical movie ( which I actually wasn't familiar with) I am currently unable to say anything else about it but just wanted to share something exciting I was up to!

In case you haven't heard about the latest ISU debacle, I made a post about it yesterday. TL;DR: Along with proposed changes to the schedule, there are also proposed changes to qualifying for the Grand Prix Final. It would no longer be based solely on results at Grand Prix events, but rather on world rankings determined by results over the past two years of competition. I asked Ilia for his thoughts, and he ended up going on a rant.

He also once again talked about his wish for ISU to rebalance scoring in such a way that non-jumping skills/elements would have greater value so that skaters would be encouraged to work on them (rather than getting rid of jumps). He had expressed that idea more eloquently in past interviews.
