I thought Khabibulina/Knyazhuk had some kind of injury issue. I don't know which one is injured though.

I guess Aussie Nats is happening now, and if someone here knows someone who can update the website, please tell them to fix it. :lol: I get crazy security warnings from the wedgie data and can't open it at all.

Nugumanova said that cops and child services have been called to the rink more than once. I think AOP has been trying to put up with the behavior as much as they could stand, because they can at least watch Elena while she's at the rink and see that she's okay. There's a crazy video of Mama...

What's up with MishGal? I haven't watched the competition from today but the results are not great, and they had a bad LP in their first event as well. It doesn't help that their programs aren't good. Everything is like Moskvina slop, they're just copying old programs but it's so half assed.

I'm already envisioning the PR answer, the song has taken on a new meaning, Maia is a cancer survivor, etc. Then comes the inevitable internet comments about how Alex's version of helping his sister involves screaming in her face about how much of a bitch she is. It's gonna be a long olympic...

The Ru Fed started posting on YouTube again. That makes things easier because I don't care enough to use a VPN to go to the Channel One website lol Here's Roman Savosin's Queen program, he did a pretty good job as a Freddie Mercury impersonator. https://youtu.be/TqnBSg04GDU

Evgenia Tarasova and Fedor Klimov had a daughter on 10/21. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQPIH3zDPbV

Is the junior ice dancer Varvara Slutskaya Irina's daughter? Her patronymic is Sergeevna, and I remember that Irina's first husband was named Sergei. I know that Petrova/Tikhonov's daughter is also an ice dancer, and she looks like a total 50/50 face morph of her parents so it was a lot more...

I remember something like that happening to US pair skater Jennifer Don in the early aughts. She lost part of a finger in a skating accident with her partner and she said the recovery time for a partial amputation was shorter than trying to reattach it. Pair skating = :yikes:

His back was being held together by wishes and the miracles of modern medicine the last time he competed. I guess the few years off helped him recover??

I didn't like that LP music at all, all horror covers. bleh! btw, Fedor Klimov wasn't at the test skates. Evdokimova (and Trankov) announced to the audience that Fedor and Evgenia Tarasova will have their baby any minute now.

:drama: Rachmaninov is my homeboy! He's my favorite, along with Prokofiev, but also props to Stravinsky and Shostakovich for being weirdos.

I knew a girl in college who was taking Russian because she was a Dostoyevsky superfan and wanted to learn to read his books in the original language. I started and stopped Crime and Punishment three times and never read it even when it was assigned. I don't recall liking much of Pushkin either...

When I took Russian literature, the professor would say Pushkin nashe vsyo/ Pushkin is our everything. I just typed that phrase into Google and indeed it is a real saying :lol: I think I liked Chekhov better myself, but I'm not an expert or anything, I really hated those classes lol

IMO, amongst Russians, yes. I'm not Russian though so of course @Ka3sha or someone else can tell me if I'm wrong! But that's the impression I got when I was studying Russian in college.
