Is Scherbakova female? Doing quad lutz? If so, I'm willing to bet the following: Eteri is the coach, she's about 12, takes off on the wrong edge, pre-rotates at least half a turn, has no leg muscle so that all the impact is right to her developing bones?

Michelle Kwan, is that you?

For her. Not with her. Asking for some input after everything has already been decided is pointless.

Interesting comments from Orser regarding the lack of athlete autonomy in the Tuts group. She would want to change that fast if she plans on lasting in the sport. The ideal motivational climate affords the athlete choice and autonomy over their training. If that is removed, all that's left is...

H How can someone be involved in sport for so long and be so dumb to development. A growing body needs more (of the right) food. TT who, herself is morbidly obese, is forever publicly commenting on the weight and eating habits of young women- I remember her flipantly saying the second Satoko hit...

So happy to see everyone running from 'win at all costs' Eteri. If you can't teach children technique that will last post puberty, then you can't teach very well. If you drive a student to a life threating disorder, then you need to be invesitgated. If you are pushing a child to physical...

Have literally just started to feel human again!

Absolutely.

Figure skating may not have a 'Nassar' type figure (please God), but the culture within the sport is potentially more damaging than gymnastics and more likely to facilitate abuse. The fact that someone like Morozov has, so openly, been allowed to have sexual relations with his teenage students...

True. Remind me how Morozov is still allowed to coach?

ALL of this. RE: Klimov. If he goes looking for another partner, it will be like when Maria Mukhortova thought she could do shit without Trankov. I'm more interested in the WHO gets Soloviev question. Has to be Ilnykh? Surely!

It's FINALLY here !!! Whooop.

Greetings montrealsurfa. If it wasn't for your username I'd seriously be considering awarding you rudest euro I've read on the board in 15 years. :lol: Being so disrespectful towards a double olympic champion who changed the sport, referring to a 29 year old as a 'granny'! :drama: The youth of...

Theoretically it was Chen. Between 1993 and 1996 she had to compete with Baiul, Kerrigan, Witt (94), Ito (96), Slutskaya, Kwan, Lipinski (debut at worlds 96), Bonaly and Butyrskaya = 7 World champions, 9 world medalists, 3 Olympic champions, 7 Olympic medalists. Probably telling that the year...

I went to see Molly's Game last week. Did a little googling afterwards. Discovered her brother was an Olympic skier and NFL draft...AND best friends with Sasha Cohen. Now I want to know what she's doing with her life.
