From Russia with love [#28]: Autumn to Winter 2017

[Ka3sha]

So why they pushed Fedichkina in?

Probably because she’s more pleasant to watch?

Seriously speaking, Istomina had a bad outing at some small comp in Moscow last week and probably Fedichkina was added by RFSF’s decision as she is from Saint Petersburg (they always favor local athletes, a girl from Chelyabinsk was invited last season, for example) and has won few international medals this autumn

 

[Sasha is DIVINE]

It nervouses me that Masha Sotskova is in the first group.

It's just training groups, which were based on coaches and skating centers (CSKA, Sambo-70, Mishin's skaters and etc), the draw will be held later

 

[barbarafan]

I guess he is going to be in jail in New Jersey

What????? pls explain

 

[caseyedwards]

What????? pls explain

He’s guilty of robbery or something and needs to go to jail.

 

[Bigbird]

He’s guilty of robbery or something and needs to go to jail.

What are you talking about? Seriously?

EDIT: LOL, early April fools.

 

[Vash01]

Please don't let Soloviev ever team up with Ilinykh the flake after this season.

Why would he? Is Bobrova retiring?

Why would he? Is Bobrova retiring?

“The reigning European bronze medalists don’t want to think of the upcoming Olympic year as their last season.

“Let’s say concluding season,” Bobrova offered with a smile. “We don’t know yet if it will be our last season or not. Maybe we’ll just go on, maybe I will have a child and we return after a year, maybe I will retire and Dima continues with a new partner. Only God knows what will happen in the future.”

Source link please?

 

[Bigbird]

Apparently, Ms. Bobrova was marking her territory. Ms Bobrova could not even bring herself to smile with, hold the hand of or congratulate, Lena Ilinykh on the podium in Sochi. So trust me she is not letting Solovyev anywhere near Ilinykh, as they say, hell would have to freeze over and that ain't about to happen anytime soon. Besides, honestly, they don't look to be a match for me. Do they? I think this riddle has been solved by Zhulin a long time ago. Besides, would Lena herself be even vaguely interested? He doesn't seem to be her type. Anton is one gorgeous specimen of a man.

It’s all from the skating lesson

You must be an honorary Jamaican. They are experts at making light of serious situations. Exhibit A, The Chik-V song,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chd8VfScmJA. Can you imagine a dance team doing a gala to this? Hehe.

 

[Coco]

It nervouses me that Masha Sotskova is in the first group.

I wish she and Radionova we're in separate groups. It will make sharing a coach more difficult! I don't think they share practice ice on a regular basis.

 

[alchemy void]

On Daniel Gleykengauz’s latest Instagram story he posted a video clip of a clean* 4toe from Trusova.

*definitely full rotation, but a small turnout on the end.

 

[Lovemyvike]

I'll be really sad if Kovtun is shut down for the season. Looked like he was still training on his social media the other day. Fingers crossed. Don't want him to go out on a bad note.

That ship has already sailed. Samarin, Kolyada and Voronov, none of these guys should be sacrificed for an injured and unprepared Kovtun. This is on TAT though for force ripening a prospect too early. I don't know who will finally be selected but I do hope Voronov finally gets his ticket to the OG in PC.

He said yesterday on his Instagram stories that he will show his uppercut to anyone, who doesn't believe that he will compete at Nats , so I guess , he will be there
But it was Goncharenko herself, who said that he's still dealing with his injury and may WD. Don't know whom to believe

Maybe she's just preparing the field in the event his skate isn't quite what they want it to be. I hope he's able to compete.

I wouldn't mind finally seeing both of his programs. The SP wasn't bad. And compared to Samarin he actually showed some PCS - who'd have thought Kovtun could be an example to follow in this regard. But the chances of him making it to the big competitions are not high.

 

[zebraswan]

Yes, I'm interested in seeing Kovtun's LP based on the costume alone...it's something else. I think if he wanted to be given serious consideration now, he should have put in the effort when he was healthy & not spent so much of his time hanging out & not working hard. He never seemed like he loved skating or competing, more like it was something he was pushed into. He's had a lot of years to prove otherwise, so my sympathy is limited to say the least.

I like his SP . For me the best from him.

Hahaha! Well, there you go! I can't understand most of the Russian, so thanks for the translation!

Where did you see the costume?

 

[DobrinFan]

Where did you see the costume?

He wore it at Skate America during his FP practice. It's interesting.

New web talk show. The female host is the daughter of a federation official. The male host is her boyfriend. Popova and Mozgov are the first guests

This show has English subtitles now! I recommend watching it, it's hilarious.

 

[lala]

Two interesting posts on Insta:

Kovtun: https://www.instagram.com/p/BcxnjW7nJ8C/? -Message for Happy new year...

I apologize you.. but it's really funny the life-sized Nutcracker and the gigantic flea https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc0P0AYF3XA/?taken-by=plushenkoofficial - hysteria on @vecherniy_urgant

 

[TAHbKA]

Medvedeva seems to be back on the ice practicing for the Olys.

 

[MRani]

Medvedeva seems to be back on the ice practicing for the Olys.

Didn’t understand a word but the music and tone change when they changed the Russian flags to Olympic flags was drama

I hope Med’s training goes well and we get to see her back to her best soon!

 

[SmallFairy]

It says Med was back at practice last Saturday for the first time since her injury. She wants to break her records and doesn't care what flag she competes under, the most important is to compete, but of course, if she could choose, she would represent Russia.

Hmmmm. I kinda like it

 

[Wyliefan]

According to Jackie Wong, Medvedeva will skip nationals and concentrate on preparing for the Olympics.
