Tarasova says Zagitova grew 3cm since Olympics (which is something I wondered about as well, I thought she looked slightly taller here). She also says she needs to eat less.

Well certainly don't like the 'eat less' comment. On the growth, she doesn't look taller to me but i did notice in the last 2 months that she's definitely hitting puberty and getting a little more of a figure. Based on nothing i can put my finger on besides intuition, i think Zagitova is going to have a harder time with the transition through puberty than Medvedeva did.
Who would've thought Russia would medal in men's at this Worlds, but not in ladies??
I must say, I'm becoming a fan of Kolyada. In this new-look Worlds, without the longtime big 3 of Hanyu, Chan, and Fernandez present, Kolyada really stood out with his extension, line, and basic skating quality. Which, to be frank, is miles ahead of some of the more hyped quad phenoms. Potential rules changes this year could also work in Kolyada's favor to make him a real contender in years to come. Although he's GOT to become more consistent. (I'm not sure his inconsistency is due to quads--some skaters are just inconsistent no matter what level of content they're attempting.)
I only got to see part of Aliev's long program so far, but I like him too.

for Zagorski/Guerriero for placing within 4 points of Stepanova/Bukin, who've had a head start, and for making the most of this season!
So now Zagitova is getting sh!t because she dared to eat a gram of ice cream after her Olympic win? 
needs to take her own eating advice, and learn that puberty IS a thing, way to treat your Olympic champ

I am so glad for Kolyada
(Now maybe the Russian media will STFU about the Olympics.)
ETA: And

Maybe
This is illogical. You already said the translation is inaccurate. It is obvious then that Rafter made his conclusion and remark based on "incorrect information". You pointed out the mis-translation, so Rafter is not at fault for drawing conclusions based on faulty info..What about you? Smart and nice?

Even if the Russian media or "hater" fans don't STFU, I hope Kolyada can still enjoy being a World medalist (more than an Olympic team medalist). I also hope he gets 2 new programs for next season.I am so glad for Kolyada

Tiffani and Jonathan really took advantage of the opportunities they were given in the first 3 months of this year and I look forward to seeing them skate next season!Congrats to Zagorski/Guerreiro to their 8th place!
I was really impressed with how they skated in Milan. The switch to Kustarova/Alekseeva seemed to have helped them a lot to solidify their levels. 6th highest TES in the Free Dance. Great job!
I hope she has some sane adult around to talk sense into her. I'd like to think Eteri learned something from what happened to Julia, but I don't have a good feeling about it.
Actually, what Alina said in the interview, and how it was "shortened" in the press is yet another issue...I don't like hearing that at all.
basically what happened:
Every coach says his pupil has to work more..... and you don't want to know what the press and fans are saying about Kolyada...
.. one of the article's title is "so.. Kolyada is with a medal. He fell twice, but other fell more"... and this is a popular foto.

I love the boy, but if he didn't manage to medal in this splatfest, I was going to say the federation should just retire him forever.
