    Russian figure skating news & updates in 2022

    The ad-based economic model for journalism collapsed years ago. Now, as a former journalist I am sad to say, that most of what passes for "news" these days is "click bait," more designed to attract eyeballs than to inform.

    Russian figure skating news & updates in 2022

    Countries have been using war to justify the exclusion of nations from international sports for as long as I can remember and as long as athletes compete on behalf of countries, this will continue to be case.

    Ted Barton interviews Eteri Tutberidze

    The speaker's issues are selective, subjective and do not come from the right place. Well, I guess it takes one to know one, doesn't it? Two wrongs don't make a right.

    Boikova-Kozlovski Cheer thread

    I, too, have followed this pair since they were juniors and am very pleased to see how they have progressed. I look forward to their continued development. In a strong field of competitors at Skate Canada, they really stood out.

    From Russia with love [#29]: Spring 2018 and beyond
