Then don’t watch it.I don't have the interest to watch anything ATM.
I posted in another thread that Boikova reminds me a bit of Meagan Duhamel. Not in body structure, performance, cohesiveness with partner, etc, but in the fact that she regularly has smiles or expressions on her face that have absolutely nothing to do with the music or program.Boikova/Kozlovski- no matter how hard I try to push my imagination, Boikova just is not swan, and them doing ballet, they are not polished enough for that. Their FS - the program could be anything. Not related to music at all. If you switch off the music, you wouldn’t know what they are supposed to be skating. On the positive note, they could have kept the program and keep changing music for every competition, the program would fit into anything.(didn’t Tuktamysheva did that one season, using a program but changing the music?)
What - Vlad the Invader's sports paradise isn't safe?Channel 1 cup moved from Sochi to Moscow according to the RusFed `because of the situation'.
THIS!! Is Nathan Chen still coming to this? I hope not!!!I will not be watching this Putin propaganda event. It was fun last year but the thought of it this year just makes me ill.
I do feel bad for any skater that might disagree with what’s going on, yet still has to go to this and act all happy. I would definitely have an old injury that has flared up and be unable to attend.
I doubt he ever was.THIS!! Is Nathan Chen still coming to this? I hope not!!!
In an interview with Anna after her win she was talking about how excited she was that Nathan was coming to this eventI doubt he ever was.
Ain’t no way he’s coming now.In an interview with Anna after her win she was talking about how excited she was that Nathan was coming to this event
I would assume so.So, here's a question that just occurred to me...
If Russian skaters are unable to participate in Worlds (say France does refuse new visas and rescind existing visas), does this re-set them back to just 1 entry per discipline for Worlds 2023?
They haven’t before when a country didn’t show up for some reason.Wouldn't the ISU make some kind of exception?
For the ROC? No.Wouldn't the ISU make some kind of exception?

The IOC always rolls over for Russia. I have low expectations for the ISU on this, tbh.For the ROC? No.
I think the tide is turning.
Also, it is possible they'd be out for more than one season depending on what happens in Ukraine. The world is so

I'd believe that if the ISU hadn't been the last to sign on to the appeal to CAS. It gave the impression that they were reluctant and had to be nudged into it.I think the tide is turning.
Elections are at this congress. Let's hope all russians are pushed out.I think we need to remember that the ISU Vice President for figure skating is Russian. Talk about a conflict of interest!
Let's hope Thailand refuses to issue visas to any of them and they aren't there to politick for anything!Elections are at this congress. Let's hope all russians are pushed out.
OMG. What an absolute bummer.I'd believe that if the ISU hadn't been the last to sign on to the appeal to CAS. It gave the impression that they were reluctant and had to be nudged into it.
I wondered the same about junior worlds re the JGP (and junior worlds 2023)So, here's a question that just occurred to me...

Interesting. That would probably cramp TT's style way more than a doping investigation after they've had time to get rid of all the evidence.I wondered the same about junior worlds re the JGP (and junior worlds 2023)
