Just watched her sp and cannot believe how bad her blade assist is on the lutz. She should work on it. It could be something that comes back to haunt her in the future should the isu choose to address it (and they should!).
They must be basing it on Emily's scoring potential. After the last two events, how could they otherwise justify their decision. Or maybe Mcleod politiked really, really hard for her...
Not a fan of her skating but she's a winner. After hearing her say she needed to lose at least 3kg to learn quads, I questioned her long term ability and desire to stay competitive. She's so young and her adult life is really just starting. Best wishes to her future!
Following the order of events provided in the article, it really seems like there is trouble brewing. Orser was ready to go but they (federation and/or Hanyu) chose Briand. This is the GPF. It's likely a priority event for Orser to be at. Where there's smoke...
I don't see it mentioned much...or ever tbh but I really dislike Kostornaia's technique on the flip. It's so ugly. Also having seen Shcherbakova's blade assisted lutzes in slow-mo, I think that jump is questionable in addition to the edge calls. Medvedeva's lutz is very similar with the blade...
Just watched Anna and Kamila's LP back to back and Anna's looked like work. She needs so many crossovers to move around the rink. Her jumps look cranked and have little flow out. I think she's the most vulnerable out of the 3As. Kamila on the other hand has tons of power, better jump technique...
Oh wow. I'm totally shocked. She's always come across as a very happy person. Social media can be so horrible and I hope she stays away. I hope she gets the support and help that she needs.
If your weight deviates by more than 100grams and your jumps aren't working, there is something wrong with the technique being taught. Reading the whole interview is disturbing. Everyone is disposable to Eteri and the ones who aren't winning are tossed out like garbage. These are children we're...
I remember looking up Kaetlyn when she was coming up with Gracie Gold. They competed at quite a few competitions together (circa 2012) and I always thought Gold had the upper edge (e.g. packaging, jumps, spins, etc.). No way I would've thought back then that Kaetlyn would be a world champion or...
Med can do whatever she damn well chooses. People can criticize and judge all they want but she has the right to decide how and what she chooses to say and do. Just the same way Eteri can do the same. She's young and in time may feel differently about what transpired between her and Eteri...
Med lived in the Sambo 70 bubble where daily weigh-ins and eating very little was the norm. When she made those comments, I'm not sure she realized she could eat healthy and skate well. I think the accusations being thrown at her are ridiculous. She was 18! You gain perspective as you grow in...
My guess is things have taken place at the home rink and this "incident" was the last straw for Lim. I didn't see anything intentional in the video but if Lim or her people already felt there were problems before and it had been building up, then I could see how they would perceive what happened...
