World and Olympic women’s figure skating results without Eteri skaters
World Championships:
2014 Asada, Kostner, Pogorilaya
2015 Tuktamysheva, Miyahara, Radionova
2016 Wagner, Pogorilaya, Gold
2017 Osmond, Daleman, Chen
shift to Japanese dominance
2018 Osmond, Higuchi, Miyahara
2019 Kihira, Sakamoto, Miyahara
2020 not held
2021 Tuktamysheva, Chen, Hendrickx
Olympics:
2014 Sotnikova, Kim, Kostner
2018 Osmond, Miyahara, Kostner
2022 Sakamoto, Higuchi, Young
Observations:
From 2018 onward, Japanese women have won 5 of 9 worlds medals
US women have fallen behind the rest of Europe and Asia, not solely Russia
From 2018 on, Japanese women have won 4 of 6 Olympic medals.
I don’t know if (some) Japanese coaches have abusive coaching methods. But at least their skaters have careers of more than 2 years and are actual women. They are the ones the US women and others need to chase.
