That doesn't mean anything. She have spent several summers there, including last year. She caught there the ‘all jumps will have hand over head’ virus last year and then she was in trouble with her coach because he prefered leaving her hand down and actually landing the jump rather than hand up and falling or underrotating. :D
 
I think there are several shows, and there is a number of pairs in them. Maisuradze skates or skated in some shows, Ustimkina is doing shows now,....l.l wasn’t Bazarova in some show after she retired?

They are in Plushenko's team. They are on every Plushenko shows( KOIs, Snow King, Nutcracker, etc) and probably thanks to Ari Zakarian's work the team is on many great Japanese shows, Art on ice, etc., too. In this year Maisuradze have an amazing gala number with Elena(?) Yovanovich not with Martyusheva .

I don't know about Bazarova.

Martiusheva is mostly skating with Gavrin in all kinds of shows (Cinderella on Ice, Dracula on Ice etc.), also in Plushenko's (Snow King II, Nutcracker).

She always trained with Eteri's group in the off season and picked up her tanos from there. Someone on here I believe mentioned that they don't think she is at TCC anymore as mutual decision that there wasn't anything they could do for her. I have no idea if this is true of not. Brian does not normally mention anyone leaving one way or the another. Any info comes from leaks. That could be one of the reasons he was able to take on another student.
 
I really doubt if Tursy actually transfers that Eteri would allow her mom anywhere close to the K&C.
Eteri allows ALL parents/grand-parents not just to sit all day at the rink, but she also encourages parents to "mentor the kids" when they are off the ice, watch their food, make sure they get to other types of practices. Med/Zag grand-mothers were/are PERMANENT fixtures at the rink. Medvedeva's grand-mother is/was listed as one of the "official" members of the skating club...with her birthday on the official list for celebration by the rink staff.
Валентина Лаврентьевна Девятова.... (Med's grand-ma)
Sambo-70 official members list.... http://xn---70-5cdf9dpu.xn--p1ai/events/birthday

Zag's grand-mother comes "with a pillow" and sleps at times in the bleachers.

Zag plans to now come with her Grand-mother and the Masaru to the rink, and provisions have been made.... grand-ma and the dog.... :D
Masaru is welcomed by the Sambo-70 club

These families live at the rink, along with parents of other girls.... :lol:
Tursy's mom will just make it exciting again, like last time.... :D and if she acts out, she'll be placed into a play-box with Masaru...

Based on this interesting information I expect that Masaru soon will be an "official" member of the skating club as well and they will celebrate her birthday, too. :dog:

That's all very nice and sweet but also irrelevant because when it comes to actual competitive K&C I've never seen any parent of eteri's students next to the skaters. Its always Eteri/Gleichengauz and the older man Im forgetting his name at the moment :D.

I would kill for a GIF of tursymom annoying the hell out of Eteri in the K&C after a good score though :D

I don't know if Kristina is really trying to just keep her options open, but it seems very unfair to expect your partner to wait around for you to possibly come back after a season, unless it's due to injury. Pairs split up and skaters retire, and that's their right, but this kind of limbo makes no sense. Alexei turns 30 this week and he doesn't have all the time in the world to be sitting around waiting for her to possibly return. Meanwhile, the rest of the pairs field moves on and they lose any momentum they had (which wasn't much to begin with).

It's just so sad...there are so few charismatic men in pairs to begin, with and they're dropping like flies :wuzrobbed Morozov & Enbert are about as exciting as a bowl of oatmeal.

Thank heavens for Klimov...

I'm not thrilled about Elizabet moving back to Eteri at all and that is the last you will hear from me on this topic.

(Well, at least that's one skater Eteri can't nag constantly about her weight...)
