I’m assuming this was aimed at me? I’d love to see your case for how I don’t like Plushenko. Your other charge is also ridiculous, childish delivery aside.

By the way, I love Plushenko. I even like all his Edvin Marton programs.
They need to be adopted in full. You have any idea how crazy it is to do what russia has done? Its insane.WADA recommends Russia face new Olympic ban
WADA Committee Recommends Russia Face New Olympic Ban (Published 2019)
A panel at the World Anti-Doping Agency has recommended that Russia face a four-year ban from global sports and new restrictions on its athletes and teams at next year’s Tokyo Olympics.www.nytimes.com
The recommendations are far-reaching but, I would imagine, quite unlikely to be adopted in full.

Agreed. Stop me if I'm wrong, but figure skating doesn't seem to be the most incriminated sport when it comes to performance enhancing drugs. A blanket ban would be ridiculous. Yet they have to do something or else it's a free for all, everyone uses whatever illegal shit they want and competition becomes meaningless. That means a thorough investigation, checking on everyone and sharing results publicly. It's a huge job but it'd be time and money well spent to lift the cloud of suspicion.
Yeah I've been meaning to send some love to your Eteri Wildenstein avatar too!
How can you not admire this? And it just goes to show that if you have good jumping technique, age is no barrier to development. Massive
Liza has been working on the quad for several years, but she has said, they didn't really push it because they didn't think they needed it. Same as her learning the 3A as a junior. It wasn't until the current youngsters who've been doing quads in juniors for the past three years started coming into seniors, that Liza and Mishin have realized they did need it. So, it's not as if she just started doing this yesterday.
As for Zag and Med, they didn't need the quad because they could a) do the harder jump combos, b) backload the jumps for the bonus. The ISU changed the rules and the juniors started jumping quads and 3As. One thing the team at Sambo-70 does way better than Mishin is quickly adapt to the changing environment. He's slow to adapt programs to new requirements. He was with Plushenko. Remember the "transition" issue. Liza's programs still don't have many because he doesn't think they're important. Mishin is a great technician and teacher, but he doesn't study the play book for what is going to get the most points until he realizes his skaters aren't winning in Russia where it really counts in regard to going to Euros, Worlds and the Olympics. Which is why Liza missed the last two. Whether Zag and Med master either a quad or 3A remains to be seen. Certainly, Eteri and company can teach the jump. It's up to Zag and Med to decide if they want to learn it. I'm pretty sure both are doing the in the harness at this point.
I believe that's what I said. She didn't need it when she won worlds as the 3A was enough. Now, it's not. Ergo, she's spent the time needed to master the jump.
