Her parents certainly raised a mature and eloquent young lady

It's good the federation is giving Lindsay chances to get out there to show herself and build a reputation. It will be good experience for her

It's a testimony to just how talented T/M are that they came as close as they did. A complete nail biter in both segments. It just makes one wonder if only the Russian fed. didn't put all their politicking eggs in the M/G basket (they worked overtime cause 154 compared to 155 for T/M and S/H is...

I remember that word being used ages ago in the nineties to describe why Tara Lipinski was allowed to compete as senior after the rule change (she competed at 96 world's) and later Sarah Hughes a few years later

Not if they stay where they currently are. Their coaches completely abandoned them. People talk about Eteri prioritizing one over the others but Moskvina did it big time and favored M/G over them. It's clear they were a total afterthought to her (and it happened way before that disastrous world's)

I was blown away too! I had to get ready for work so I was only looking at the ISU results page on my cell and when I saw Aleksandra's marks I thought oh my god holy shit she did it, she landed all her quads, it's all over (for Anna at least). I had to leave as Kaori was skating. I remember...

Well if the current top 3 stand in some order :scream: M/G with have 2, T/M will have 2 and B/K will have.....:slinkaway

Anna's solo triple lutz scored more points then Sasha's quad toe. 8.34 to 7.06 that pretty much tells us exactly how Anna won and Sasha went wrong

Well its not like her coach is an old timer like Alexei Mishin, who took forever to learn how to maximize Liza's tech score. Her coach rised to fame during COP and is famous for knowing how to milk every point out of the system. No one else at Sambo has this problem of maximizing points except...

I seriously doubt Eteri would say something like that. Maybe it was her father and other people surrounding her. I remember the rumors (discussed here when she left Eteri and then Plushy) of him being a major stage dad and hoping she would win due to all the money and endorsements that would...

I find the outburst right after it ended easy to swallow. The 3am one not so much. It that is true she's responsible for Anna not being out in the team competition cause everyone wanted to walk on egg shells around her then that would really piss me off. But thankfully in the end Anna did get...

Bela and Marta were Romanian not Russian

I remember when Boikova made her single one line remark everyone when down on her like she was big difficult b**** diva and that she needed to grow the f up. How dare she act like that to her coach and show disrespect. They made similar remarks after her meltdown backstage at the GPF. Trusova...

People forget those "crappy programs" Eteri gave Aleksandra are exactly what she wanted. She wanted programs that were all about her jumps cause that's all she cares about. When they attempted to give her programs with more then just jumps she just went through the motions. Remember she left...

To think when the 3A made their senior debut it was almost universally acknowledged Anna was the weakest and wouldn't last. She was always thought of after the other two. Now she's the reigning world and Olympic champion 🤩 Of course even with all that her teammates still overshadow her! Like no...
