I’ve always thought and still think that Irina should have won the SP in SLC which would have meant she won the OG under the old judging system. But reading in that interview she would then have quitted immediately, I’m happy she didn’t win cause in that case we missed some great programs she...

It’s the guy who was practicing with a back condition where he could barely sit, walk or stand sometimes but was asked to work at full forth pretty much at his first practice after that disastrous Russian Nats, which turned out to be his last competition. :mad: But it’s quite typical: taking...

Adian never made any negative public comments on Eteri, even before he started with coaching. Not when he was training with Buyanova, not when he tried to switch to ice dance. And many other of her students also never made any bad remarks, not when they were still active athletes nor later on...

I linked that interview already above. Like I mentioned not a single bad word on Eteri. But what is your point? That it is proof nothing went wrong here? First Adian is a polite person, (unlike Eteri) he would not wash dirty laundry in public. And second do you really expect any of Eteri’s...

Looks like this might become kind of 2nd Russian Nationals this year. I can’t wait for the final list of participants. :cheer2: I hoped that Sima would get an invitation for ladies but after her appearance at Bavarian Open last weekend I fear that her chances are gone. :(

Is this the newest spin on how another of Eteri’s former students became lazy and unmotivated? :blah: Adian never gave concerts as long as he tried to stay actively in figure skating. The first public appearances of his band were in the 2nd half of 2018, so when he he already quit with ice...

Fan project for Polina Tsurskaya As Polina’s birthday is coming soon, a fan project to collect birthday wishes has been initiated. If you like to participate, you can send your wishes / kind words for Polina to this address: [email protected] You can send text messages, but also...

I started an online petition where you can vote for Sergei Voronov on Russian team for Europeans: https://www.change.org/p/russian-figure-skating-federation-sergei-voronov-on-russian-team-for-european-championships Not that it would change much, but at least we can show support for Sergei. :)

Thank you all for the nice comments. I’m glad you like the outcome of the project. For those who like to know how the books looked inside a put a few pictures on my tumblr-side: https://katiafigurnoekatanie.tumblr.com/ (due to data protection considerations, however, I only published pages with...

Thank you! That’s great news! :inavoid: I’m happy Julia will be there. With a good friend around it will be easier for Adian I’m really nervous for him now, Adian is a rather shy person, so doing commentary will probably require him some overcoming at the beginning. But I’m sure once he got...

On Friday the scrap book respectively the scrap books have been given to Adian. :inavoid: I received so many messages from you that I actually had to make two books (= 88 contributions and Adian has evidence that he has fans on every continent – most fans were from Russia, U.SA., China but also...

I received a very lovely post card from the U.S. from Seattle today and I'm very thankful about it. :respec: However, I couldn’t allot it to anyone I’ve been in contact with. So if this card has been send by an FSU user, please contact me. :) I like to thank you personally and to let you know...

Let's hope so, by goodness! :) Today is by the way the official deadline and in principle the last day to send me contributions for Adian’s scrap book. :inavoid: Now if you can’t keep the deadline, but still wish to participate: 2-3 days of delay won’t cause a problem if you send me text...

I don’t need to speculate here: it were Alisa’s own words when asked on her ask that if they (so people whom she obviously trusted to asess her talent for dance) called her, she has talent. I’m also aware that finding the right ice dance partner isn’t easy (actually Gorshkov just recently gave...
