From Russia with Love [#31]: Winter to Spring 2019

[hanca]

Vash, I was kidding! Aren't you used to my sense of humor after we've been in this place for like a hundred years? Not that I don't care about fur. Tinami was very concerned about Volosozhar's possible real fur wearing in a family photo. Of course I should be a mature adult and stop poking TA with comments about her beloved Eteri endlessly wearing fur at competitions.

I have to admit that I really enjoyed you having a dig at @Tinami Amori about Eteri wearing a fur coat. I was curious if Tinami would overlook it, or if she has some ‘innocent’ explanation/excuse about why on this rare occasion Eteri didn’t behave in Tinami’s approved manner. I mean, maybe Eteri has a cold and needed to keep warm, so on such occassion a fur coat would be acceptable? (And attach a few photos of Eteri sneezing into tissues and more photos of Eteri with a hot cup of tea with honey and lemon...)
Does it make me a bad person, that I can’t resist having a dig?

It was funny! No harm done. Someone who dares to call Liza fat should have thick enough skin to handle a little teasing.

Re Liza: she posted a video of her landing a triple axel on her Instagram stories yesterday , so I guess she is ok

And a GORGEOUS one at that!

Talking of fur coats: Eteri is not wearing one here in Minsk. Neither are Daniil or Dudakov

Baby Koly 1st after the short. Here is hoping he can keep it together in the long.

Good for him. He is recovering well and looks on top of his game.

Let's hope he will not bomb the long.

I am so thrilled for Boikova&Kozlovskii! I can't wait to see them rule the next seasons.

This article says, that Yagudin is going not only to commentate at the European Championship, but also to give master classes.
https://www.pressball.by/articles/others/digest/103754

This winter he also has a skating school in Gorki Park in Moscow. It is not a school for champions, just an opportunity to try skating for ordinary kids. Kids don't have to pay for it. Yagudin does it for the second time: such a school worked in this park a year ago too.

Not long ago Yagudin performed together with Kazakh kids in Ust-Kamenogorsk (even though he had to open a map to see where Ust-Kamenogorsk is). He tells he says "yes!", when he is invited to such events, - if he has time. (It seems to him he doesn't get out of aeroplanes.)
https://yk-news.kz/news/фигурист-алексей-ягудин-«если-бы-мама-не-привела-меня-на-каток-я-стал-бы-дальнобойщиком»
Not long ago he opened a new outdoor rink in Samara (Russia)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbqj4_vg2-4
Soon he is going to open a rink in Khabarovsk (Russia), to give a master class for kids there.

It is odd, but he also says they are going to open a fully-featured skating school in spring. It is odd, but he also "thinks" about opening a school in Belarus. (is he going to do it, when he has time?)
https://www.kp.by/daily/26921.7/3967697/

He also hosts a TV show in Belarus, they haven't start showing it yet. This show is about fashion, about helping girls to become confident. He is one of the hosts.

Oh goodness, Boikova is adorable. I have to stay strong and not uber a Russian pair. T&M have been too much of a disappointment.

She has more personality in her little finger then T/M have in their whole bodies. Some skaters just have the it factor. You just know it when you see it. Sort of like when Oksana Baiul showed up for the World championships in 1993. All she had to do was get in her opening pose and the crowd noticed her.

Keep teasing... i can handle getting more attention than Russian medalists and olympics in a russian skating topic...

I did not say Liza is fat. I said she does not have much of a waist line to parade herself like she does. you know... fact.. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpw-3urHGC2/

I have had many disappointments, so what is one more? I am loving B&K right now. If they continue to develop and do well next season, I will be in that danger zone, and ready for a heart break.

Darling, Liza has a fabulous figure. That I would kill for. Lets leave it at that.

Oooof, Eteri is shooting daggers. On the other hand, Alina is growing into a gorgeous young woman. She looks better (and more mature) in a simple black outfit than she does in her costumes.

No. let's have it at this: you think her figure is fabulous. i think her figure is not very attractive.

If she displays her body on public social media, people will judge. but the important part is what she thinks about herself.

Everyone but you agrees that Tuktamysheva is gorgeous, so your catty comment about her waistline is not the objective statement of fact you think it is. Which is beside the point because even if she wasn’t, criticising her appearance with the justification that she posts photos of herself online and should therefore be okay with being insulted would be inappropriate.

No. not everyone. there are other websites where people also make comments.. . personal opinions are never objective. we just have different ones. also, look up the difference between "insult", "critique" and "opinion".

Are there any updates on the condition of Z/E?

I was screaming the whole time! That SP is a bomb; may the skating gods please give him one strong competition this year!

I can hear your jealousy from America.

Liza might not be a stick-figure (because she actually eats, unlike some Russian skaters), but I don’t find anything unattractive about her. She’s far from overweight and if she is confident in her body, then I don’t see what’s the fuss.

I haven’t heard anything, but Natalia seems to be posting cool pics https://www.instagram.com/nataljazabijako/

Considering Tinami is also in America, that doesn't seem like a huge stretch...

Oops, I didn’t know that

I find Tuktamysheva, Our Dark Russian Empress, utterly entrancing. To me, she is the total package. #ladylutz #tripleaxelempress

 

[SmallFairy]

Liza looks totally smashing!
