Now that Euros has been cancelled, hopefully sensible heads will prevail in the RSFS and they will do just this. There isn't any necessary rush to put the skaters, coaches and officials in any increased danger by holding RusNats at the end of this month. They could easily hold off until the end of January or even the end of February and still have plenty of time to name a team. They could even hold a second Russia Cup series instead to fill the time when there won't be many international competitions or even other countries' own Nats to fill the void.but what I really wanted was something sensible by backing up Russian Nationals 3 or 4 weeks allowing many of the skaters to get healthy and fit. I mean many skaters who have been recently ill are going to Siberia where it's probably 40 degrees below zero outside and that's not good for people coming off of pneumonia or C19. I wish them all good luck much success and great health.
Which Alena and what party?Gubanova was photographed literally next to Dimitri Aliev at Alena's party not even two weeks ago. So I guess nobody there bothered to quarantine?
I knew they would cancel Europeans and like we've discussed this opens the door to backup Russian Nationals so it's actually taking place.Now that Euros has been cancelled, hopefully sensible heads will prevail in the RSFS and they will do just this.

Which Alena and what party?
absolutely and if she gets seriously ill again it might put next season in doubt. And also might make her parents think what the hell are we doing to our daughter? But Anna is certainly tougher than she looks and she wants to compete she's very much like Zhenya.Surely Sambo 70 would want more time for Shcherbakova to prepare given that she got very ill?
Thanks.Speaking about Gubanova, here’s her SP from St Petersburg Championship. LP is today
I can’t imagine being Zhenya. She was undefeated for so long and was so close to winning Olympic gold, yet didn’t. I’m sure that was a crushing defeat, and my comments aren’t meant to rehash all of that. But- she reminds me of Michelle Kwan in some ways. Michelle loved the sport and loved competing. She didn’t want to stop trying but her body wouldn’t allow her to continue.this is Zhenyas decision about her career and she wants to continue skating so I support her.
if she wants to try another seizing she will be funded by the Russian Federation she has a new home in Moscow things should be looking up in her life not bleak.
for those of you who want her to pack it in and retire because she'll never be what she was 3 and 4 years ago what do you want Zhenya to do with the rest of her life and career?
I say let her skate a couple more seasons and see where she's at and if she can't get back to top five in the world then she can retire on her own terms.
Do with her life? She will do the same thing anyone does keep on carrying on. Skating is something you do and not who you are.this is Zhenyas decision about her career and she wants to continue skating so I support her.

I am talking about Tuk, she is the one with XYZ in Mishin's camp. Sofia is just fine.Are you talking about Sofia? I thought she had *********-19 symptoms as well but she is skating in the St. Petersburg Cup this week.
It is a translation issue. That word in the original text can be translated as "inflammation" or "lesion" of "soreness"... it all depends on context. I think the original was supposed to mean "infection".A lesion on her lung? Poor Zhenya.
Stepanova/Bukin are training, working on programmes for Russian Nationals and! on their next year's FS/LP, which their coach for now wants to keep secret.Any word on whether Step/Buk have recovered as yet? If we could only merge the talents of these 2 and S/K we'd have something delicious.
...Russian Fed is .... considering holding several additional (to the scheduled ones already) competition for the top skaters to stay in shape.

Or it maybe on Sutdio38 or MainStream 1 or 2 live feeds.More figure skating events on Russia 1 channel!
I am still trying to figure out why she left Brian.
Makes me sad. She sounded so happy there. And I loved her programs.I think she was just trying to chase training ice around the world to get out of the Canadian lock downs and then got stuck in Russia. I don't think it was an actual decision to leave him.
Party on in Petersburg!
I thought she was banned for 10 years for anything to do with figure skating.Maria Sotskova is starting her own skating group as a trainer and posted an announcement that she is accepting youngsters starting with 1st junior level.
Zhenya should retire when she wants to. She started off her senior career with an incredible winning streak before she broke her foot in 2018 and she deserves major respect.I can’t imagine being Zhenya. She was undefeated for so long and was so close to winning Olympic gold, yet didn’t. I’m sure that was a crushing defeat, and my comments aren’t meant to rehash all of that. But- she reminds me of Michelle Kwan in some ways. Michelle loved the sport and loved competing. She didn’t want to stop trying but her body wouldn’t allow her to continue.
There is no shame in an Olympic silver medal, or being the current Bronze medalist at Worlds. Zhenya has the adoration of many throughout the world. I don’t think she’s done by any means. She seems to be a very determined young lady. She will retire on her own terms, and when she does, I think people will start to respect her accomplishments. I would love to see her pull a Tukt and keep fans in their toes for years to come.
Party on in Petersburg!
These kids aren't listening to dr. Fauci are they?
I’m SO excited to announce a collaboration with the global interactive entertainment developer and publisher miHoYo. We have been working together on creating a very special Christmas campaign for the @honkaiimpact3rd where I am featuring as the new S-rank Valkyrie Durandal [Dea Anchora].
Honkai Impact 3rd video game is a free-to-play 3D action role-playing mobile game where players control a team of up to three characters, known as Valkyries, in real-time combat against various enemies. I am very excited to feature as the legendary Valkyrie Durandal who is a very strong, brave and inspiring warrior. Stay tuned as we have prepared something truly special for my fans and the fans of the game.
The same one who will not take his own Sputnik vaccine but is ready to distribute it worldwide. This is so ridiculously tragic it's practically hilarious.They just listen to Dr. Putin.
I thought she was banned from competing, not "everything" in figure skating. I am sure if invited to skate in a show she will accept.I thought she was banned for 10 years for anything to do with figure skating.
I don't know who is worse to listen to with regards to the pandemic. Take your pick.They just listen to Dr. Putin.
