You know I mentioned this last year when she really started and there was quite a bit of she’ll never work hard enough type of thing and I thought no I think she’s really serious about this. She’s clearly put in a lot of work and that free, while not perfect, shows an incredible level of...

could you send them to me as well? thx.

To be honest I’ve actually been really impressed with her efforts in the pairs this year. For a first year she’s progressed a lot. In that most recent Grand Prix, she had a decent twist in the free skate and a good throw in the short. A lot of the rest is pretty good as well and their unison is...

To be honest I was more impressed than I expected to be. Sure, long way to go but she seems to be getting the fundamentals pretty fast- the twist was really decent for the time she’s had and the death spiral in the short wasn’t bad either. I do think the solo jump issue was just nerves. I may...

ok so by this logic, Ilia Malinin should be banned...Malinina skated for Uzbekistan but was born in Russia. ilia's father is Russian... In seriousness, i think it's not at all the same comparing people like Malinin and Efimova to others who are just now trying to get out.

i would agree with this. the 4 toes were amazing, everything else - not very good surprisingly. She just looked labored and everything seemed to be a fight. i would not have given her the marks she pulled for that skate

if it weren't for Muravieva's wonky landing on the 3A she'd be right up there with Tuk

I agree in part and not in part. Unfortunately for Akatieva, both 4T's were short - solidly short. But it looked like Valieva didn't get dinged for what was a dreadful 4T attempt and too much of a PCS boost. Akatieva still should have won

yes i thought the exact same thing. Her rotation position looks better but i think her jumps are even lower and more whippy than before to be honest.

I don’t think it’s indicative of where she stands on the war given some of her other comments but certainly does with respect to the bans

So after spending days reading these comments back and forth i'll jump in here briefly. I completely agree with this statement. If i look at myself, and I live in the UK, i think there are some very scary parallels to the beginning of World War II here. Hitler also believed that Germany was...

Same

What's interesting about that article is that they appear to be quite convinced that they won't be able to participate in the congress. Which, if that happens, i think would be a good thing. Amazing that they are pretty upfront about the fact that upping the age limit is bad for them.

This is EXACTLY how I feel. But I think there is zero chance they will be back for the next two years

yes i think this is a legitimate concern to be honest. Also, to be honest, i don't think the Russians will be allowed to compete in most places for a while. i wouldn't be surprised if we don't see them for a few years.
