Lambiel is like no other....![]()
THE TRUTH ABOUT LAMBIEL.
CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH, CAN WE?! Don't be fooled by that accent or be blinded by those costumes! Resist the perfidy of that PLASTIC SURGE...morozombie.blogspot.com
There is nothing more disgusting than hating or ridiculing a skater/coach for being the best and winning too much.
Yes. It just brings bad feelings watching her skate, because I keep waiting for the idiots to come out of their holes and start spewing the sh*t. I know it is not her fault, but it is not my fault how I feel either.
Well, I am on several forums, so it is not only on this one, but even here there is an example of what I am talking about. I am sure you know who I have in mind.Are you talking about this board or your overall observation? There are very few Alina fans here, and she mostly gets heavily criticized.
Getting ‘heavily’ criticised doesn’t mean that people here hate her. They just don’t like some aspects of her skating. Besides, I don’t think she is getting more criticised than other skaters, and people have different likes/dislikes.
Yes, it's a "bi..chy" link, the "hate" is hidden. I don't mind critique of skater's performance, elements, costumes, and on and off the ice behavior. Never minded too much Koola King's videos about "Medvedeva and Zagitova's overs-scoring and URs".That link actually made me![]()
I understand the difference. I chose the word "criticize" and not "hate" myself.Getting ‘heavily’ criticised doesn’t mean that people here hate her. They just don’t like some aspects of her skating. Besides, I don’t think she is getting more criticised than other skaters, and people have different likes/dislikes. It is still no reason for doing what some individuals are doing. I really liked her skating, but reading this constant trolling is just off putting.
Maybe you can write directly to these people (haters of Eteri and Zagitova as you say) and not here, and solve your issues with them.Yes, it's a "bi..chy" link, the "hate" is hidden. I don't mind critique of skater's performance, elements, costumes, and on and off the ice behavior. Never minded too much Koola King's videos about "Medvedeva and Zagitova's overs-scoring and URs".
"Hate" against skater are physical threats and wishes, disruptive actions, flooding their social media accounts with negativity, and using profanities. None of the posters on FSU did that, fortunately.

I read it a couple of hours ago and, frankly, found nothing really interesting (though I usually like Panina's interviews) - Pitkeev is probably a hard person to get anything out of.A lengthy interview with Adian Pitkeev:
It is in Russian but maybe there will be a volunteer to translate?![]()
«Я долго пÑÑалÑÑ ÑбиÑÑ Ð² Ñебе ÑпоÑÑÑмена». ÐолÑÑое инÑеÑвÑÑ ÐдÑÑна ÐиÑкеева о жизни до и поÑле ÑигÑÑного каÑаниÑ

I read it a couple of hours ago and, frankly, found nothing really interesting (though I usually like Panina's interviews) - Pitkeev is probably a hard person to get anything out of.
In short: he is coaching, his back is still hurting all the time, it was the reason he retired, he seems to be doing seminars rather than coaching in a certain school (at least that's what I understood from the interview), very interested in music and rock, has a girlfriend, talks very fondly of all of his coaches, especially of Tutberidze. The ice dance was a try to stay in sports after he could no longer jump, but then his leg wasn't functioning. He says the ice dance was a great experience that taught him to glide. His favourite skater is Patrick Chan, hence he was always trying to skate beautifully.
In particular he says Tutberidze teaches her skaters to understand the move/jump - till the tiniest detail - not just jump however, but be in control of every small bone in your body. He says he told a kid something Tutberidze would tell him saying `my mom told me' and only then realized what he said. About beating Fernandez in SP in CoR: I didn't beat him, he lost by making too many mistakes.
He was never invited to any shows, but at any rate he woudlnt' want to be the one carrying a costume around. He prefers to coach and according to him the money is more or less the same.
All and all he makes an impression of a very nice and humble young man who doesn't really want to do interviews![]()
what's in writing, recorded, documented, and submitted as evidence... are there...
and now you can have a last word.
... will try... in a most politically correct form, when the "ethnic issue" came up (not too often) - it's Alina's "Tatar back ground" and that she is culturally a "muslim". Rodina posted in her IG "Tatars are like mad Chechens, you have to watch out for them"... and etc... and "anti-Alina" crowd picked it up, and went with it... "tatars are sneaky, they are cheats, they'll stab you in the back". (and other, but it is very UN-PC).
That’s the second ethnic group in Russia after Russians. I am none too sure Tatar heritage per se is all that known to Alina. She grew up out of Tatarstan.So Alina is of Tatar heritage...just like one of my heroes, Rudolf Nureyev.That heritage should be a great source of pride. Now I’m certain that Alina Zagitova will persist and continue for a long, long time. Artistry can be equal to, or surpass, her technique. Bless her.
She attends as a guest speaker some Tatar festivals, and she openly states that she is Tatar and from a Muslim culture (not the same thing in former USSR as "follower of Islam"). Many famous people try to hide that they are of other than "russian/slavic" ethnic origin, change their names to make them more Russian, stress only their "russian part of the family", but not Alina. (Averbuch and Gleikh don't hide that they are jewish either, or Sukhralidze that he is Georgian).So Alina is of Tatar heritage...just like one of my heroes, Rudolf Nureyev.That heritage should be a great source of pride.
Alina and Eteri are criticized just like everyone else. Michelle Kwan, Tara Lipinski, Sarah Hughes, Yulia Lipnitskaya, Irina Slutskaya, Maria Butyrskaya, Evegenia Medvedeva ALL have received severe criticism for their real and perceived shortcoming.Yes, it's a "bi..chy" link, the "hate" is hidden. I don't mind critique of skater's performance, elements, costumes, and on and off the ice behavior. Never minded too much Koola King's videos about "Medvedeva and Zagitova's overs-scoring and URs".
"Hate" against skater are physical threats and wishes, disruptive actions, flooding their social media accounts with negativity, and using profanities. None of the posters on FSU did that, fortunately.
However, outside of FSU, hate against Alina and Eteri, just as i described it, does exist, not just from individuals, but from organized groups. "Stabbing Eteri with a knife" or "Acid in Zagitova's face" or "calling her a prostitute" and "wishing to smash her face", wishing she was dead or injured.... is "hate" as clear as it can be, and border lines "criminal". I've already posted this a few times, but in case some did not see it:
English translations on pages, IG personal Alina's account.
wish to stab Eteri with a knife is also "hate"
many people notice it and try to complain to social media companies..... english speakers..
I understand there are "jokes" about skaters, but not that other stuff...
There is a long interview with Tatiana Navka, it google-translates.
![]()
Татьяна Навка: после замужества я стала больше работать!
В то время как у большинства период отпусков, у олимпийской чемпионки Татьяны Навки горячая рабочая пора. Причём в прямом смысле слова – в Турции идёт её ледовое шоу «Руслан и Людмила», где практически все роли исполняют фигуристы – чемпионы мира.www.aif.ru
translation of just one paragraph of her "childhood story".
TN: - 90% of people worry about their appearance. At one point in life all have doubts about their looks - about being too fat, or being too tall. When turned 16-17 i started to gain extra weight. For a skater it is a major problem, more than for regular girls. My coach weighted me on regular basis, and the number on weights did not always made us happy. Sometimes i was locked up in the dressing room for the night, to make sure i don't try to "steal a snack" at night. I was a sucker for sweets back then. Across the street we had a cafe. There they had so many fantastic sweets - the rolls, the chocolate/coco balls. Now, fortunately, i lost the desire for "baked stuff".
Q: - They locked you up?
TN: - Yes, between training sessions they put me in the gym-room, for few hours, and sometimes i slept (inside the training facility) on an old dirty couch with mice and roaches... And that was my diet.
(so said the Olympic, Worlds, European, RN, GPF champion)...![]()
Don't start with "red herring". it's not about "criqique" of skating or skating related matters, or discussions on forums. It's about organized groups which engage in cyber attacks and creating situations outside of cyber-space.Alina and Eteri are criticized just like everyone else. Michelle Kwan, Tara Lipinski, Sarah Hughes, Yulia Lipnitskaya, Irina Slutskaya, Maria Butyrskaya, Evegenia Medvedeva ALL have received severe criticism for their real and perceived shortcoming.
Nobody here used any profanities on Alina. I said so earlier. The words "prostitute" came from accounts and people that are "medvedeva fans". The person who is most responsible is already being looked at.If someone HERE calls Alina a "prostitute", report to the moderators. I personally have only seen these horrrible words coming from you.
Congratulations of being the most un-accepting of the fact that in other countries/cultures people think/act differently. You're "north American way" of what's right or wrong, is yours, but not others'.You really do enjoy stories of skaters being abused and deprived of food, don't you? Congratulations on being the most sadistic person I've ever known.
Don't start with "red herring". it's not about "criqique" of skating or skating related matters, or discussions on forums.
Why don't you stop suggesting nonsense. Threats of physical harm to skaters do come up in regular conversations. It's unfortunate such happens.Yes, it is. That's what FSU is all about. That's what we do here. But you keep breaking in with "BUT DEATH THREATS!" when we're trying to do it. Why don't you start a thread just for the threats and then we can keep them separate from the skating critiques?
Well, lets hope they won't happen again, or any uncalled negativity that is not skating or skating-issue related, and there is no need for a topic or mention..Very unfortunate. All the more reason they should have a dedicated thread to discuss them. Obviously that's your decision to make, not mine, but that would be my suggestion so that they could be taken with proper seriousness.
I do not know about other people. But I know that YOU personally incite hatred against Medvedeva. Your actions may actually put Medvedeva, a real human being, in harm's way if some nutcase takes up your "cause." You are catering to those people you claim to despise. You are the one with "organized actions" against the skater.Don't start with "red herring". it's not about "criqique" of skating or skating related matters, or discussions on forums. It's about organized groups which engage in cyber attacks and creating situations outside of cyber-space.

There is a difference between "internet fan wars", which do include bitchy comments, and trolling, and "organized actions" against a skater.
