Adelina Sotnikova uber thread

Vash01 said:
I have not had the time to look up all the pics, videos, etc. but I plan to. It is a good antidote for the Sotnikova hatred on this board. I am not even her fan, but I believe she earned her OGM in Sochi by skating great. She does not deserve the kind of venom being spewed in other threads. So I come here sometimes to talk about more pleasant things. Adelina deserves a lot of credit for what she did well. The hatred in other threads makes me defend her, and if she continues to skate like this, I could become her fan.

I am so with you. Even as a big Mao, Yuna, Julia and Carolina fan, I found Adelina's win to be one of the most exciting sports highs ever. And now I love Adelina too. :) What a journey from 12-year-old Russian champion to Olympic Gold Medalist!

The IJS has driven pairs to doing extremely ugly death spirals that slow down, get the man out of position, just to get more points. Compared to that the IJS spins are not ugly. Sotnikova does a very difficult spin and just because she doesn't look like a pretty princess doesn't mean it's ugly. As a side note, I am happy that they got rid of the spiral position changes requirements. Those were the ugliest things ever in FS.

And yet I miss a really beautiful spiral position that is held for a long time (with change or edge or not, as long as it is held and not just hit briefly). Mao did one in her WC exhibition that I swear is better than any in her competitive programs.
 
Adelina skates in the Worlds Exhibition shows in Osaka(April 5-6th), and added to the cast of Super Stars on Ice show in Sapporo(April 7-9th) as well. Good for her! It's the season of cherry blossom in Japan. Hope she'll enjoy her shows there.
 
^Yay :cheer: Hope she has fun!!! She will also be doing an Olympic Champion Show later today (3/31) in St. Petersburg and in Moscow (4/27)!!! Hopefully there will be videos :D
 
March 31 at the Ice Palace took an unprecedented event - the first time after the Olympics in Sochi and the 2014 World Cup came to St. Petersburg most famous skaters who brought Russia awards.

Gathered in the hall a lot of fans of figure skating, which were enthusiastically welcomed each and every single pair of athlete. One of the most anticipated on the ice, of course, was Adelina Sotnikova star which fully opened in Sochi. Young brilliantly talented figure skater and just a very nice girl won millions then sticking to the TV and are in the stadium Fischt. Phenomenal result turned-Adeline became the first in the history of Soviet and Russian Olympic champion in the women's figure skating in the individual standings. After an emotional speech Adeline still did not let journalists who asked whether her life has changed after the Olympic gold? "Of course, changed!" - Confirmed the skater.

Adelina has a new show program. Here's some pics sans white hat with red (?) ribbon:

She must have done 2 programs because there is another pic with her performing in a rather unfortunate costume (second row, 1st pic). Very unfortunate :yikes: Found short instagram vid of unfortunate costume which relates to Swan Lake how????

Full video from today's show coming soon!!!

Sotnikov: to keep at the top, you need to complicate program

I already have a blueprint program for next season. Will complicate my programs, performing two 3+3 combinations in the free program. I want to learn a quadruple toe loop, although not fulfill its promise in the near future.

Why not fix the flutz and work on rotating the tail end of the 3lutz3toe so she can put a more difficult 3+3 in the SP instead of a 3toe3toe??? :drama:

According to the judges it doesn't matter how easy the combination is in the short, you will still get the same points as someone doing a tougher combination.. I think Janet Lynn should come out of retirement to get her elusive gold medal in Korea.. She can do a double double combo , dazzle the judges with her skating skills and will probably be top 3 after the short..

Something strange is going on. Whenever I try to quote Apatinar's post #245, part of the quote appears as a quote by ME. I had to delete 3 posts for this reason. It's weird.

My response to Apartinar was- why post this in an Uber thread when there are plenty of hateraid type threads about Sotnikova?

It's because apartinar didn't "quote" it properly, so it came out wrong when you quoted it also. :)
 
LOL I figured since I was in the kitchen making hateraid to serve, I might as well be hospitable and serve it to all the guests!

Awe, so thoughtful. I must admit, I ended up pouring my down the drain (where it belong)................too bitter :P
 
This article is entertaining even with google translator. :D I was devastated seeing all the personal attacks and mocking from groups of idiots/riots(I don't mean FSUers) and Korean media. I've been annoyed for a few quads seeing the same kind of things as a fan of skaters who won over Kim. :( And I thought I can't stand a quad more and it might be the proper time for me to quit following figure skating. Reading this interview, Adelina seems strong enough and is not expected to be very polite. Also Russian media is gonna be on Adelina's side. It's kinda relief for me. I might stick around a quad more.

As for her new exhibition program Black Swan, people who saw it live in Osaka said she skated great. It's kinda experimental one but sounds people were moved by her abilities as an artist. I loved her oblivion so much but can it be even better one? Shame I can't see it live anytime soon.

See this photo from Alex's tweet. https://twitter.com/AlexShibutani/status/452747692095979520
It seems she did minor change of her costume. I read some reports about her performances in Japan and found the choreography of "Black Swan" was a bit changed as well, maybe. Reports said she didn't take off her see-through cloth in the end of the program as she did in the video you posted on this thread.

Saw that. Black, white, still ugly.

Here is a new magazine cover and photos/interview from the inside. Pics of mom, dad, sis!!!
Olympic figure skating champion Adelina Sotnikova the first time about the tragedy in the family.
"I never pressed for pity, especially - not to speculate on the disease sister ... When Mary was born, doctors persuaded the girl to leave the hospital. Like, you already have a healthy, think about it. Why do you need this freak?"

I love the photos with a more old-Hollywood style... she should wear something like that on ice.

In that quote are they saying her parents were encouraged to abandon her sister at the hospital? :(

Yeah, that's what I got out of it. That's the only quote they provided that could be translated (google), so I don't know what else was said after that.
 
Adelina's "Black Swan" from Osaka Exhibition. :swoon: I never think her costume is ugly. This number is one of the most tweeted one by Japanese figure skating fans who saw the shows held in this April. For me her Black Swan and Mirai's "Demons" are the two I was moved the most.

^Thanks!! Glad the Japanese fans enjoyed it. Seems like her Russian fans also enjoyed her Swan in St. Peterburg as well.

This costume is hideous! Is the netting around her dress supposed to be thrown into the water to capture the swan?
