There were actually several Russian pairs competing in the event under the flags of other countries. Check out the skater bios, and you will see how many of the skaters were born in Russia, live in Russia, and train in Russia with Russian coaches. There were several Eteri sightings yesterday.
Because on occasion I enjoy it.
This is just really nothing but anti Russian bigotry and hatred
What a lie. This is nonsense. Acting like Russians aren’t the best at doing elements and style is absurd. Twists sbs jumps and spins and lifts are all Lowe level quality and sloppy! Of course sloppy mess Duhamel thinks it’s best ever.
And my point is proven!!!!!!!From one of caseyedwards' favorite skaterslast night - "One of the best pairs short program competitions I’ve seen in a long, long time. Kudos to all competitors

As has always been the case. This is nothing new. Just like there are plenty of Americans and Canadians representing other countries.
Did you see how many 3S and 3T there were? Just last season we were joking about how all the teams were doing 2S!
Two is several? Because there are only two Russian pairs competing for other countries and still training in Russia. There's also Daria Danilova, who trains in Russia. But her partner is Dutch, so they can't be called a 'Russian pair'. The other skaters originally from Russia all train abroad and skate with non-Russian partners: Nikita Volodin, who trains in and reps Germany with his German partner; Ioulia Chtchetinina, who trains in Germany and reps Poland with her Polish partner (and who previously represented both Switzerland and Hungary); Anastasia Golubeva, who trains in and reps Australia with her Australian partner; and Aleksandr Korovin who trains in the US and reps the Philippines with his Filipino-American partner.
I'm not willing to speculate on where they are at. Not having real competition could be holding them back. Or not.
You do realize there was a question in my post. Which you did not even attempt to answer.
A Polish article I just read today says Ioulia's parents emigrated from Russia when she was three years old (presumably to Switzerland where she first skated pairs internationally with fellow Russian-born Mikhail Akulov).
Without watching strong feelings could not exist and how Duhamel the whole thing was disgracefully. It was just so Duhamel.
Agreed, it is so strange to me how angry people get about Russia. I find it ironic we have spent BILLIONS on Ukraine and are TRILLIANS in debt to protect their boarders and USA could care less about our boarders.
Oh GEE, "only" TWO FULLY Russian pairs competing instead of the maximum of THREE! HOWEVER will we deal?!
I really need Loena to win tomorrow, just to send Galliamov over the edge, lol.
What’s his problem with her? Did he make a pass and she told him where to go as any normal girl would?
Who knows? She threw some shade at Russian women and their doping in a pre-Worlds interview with a Belgian news outlet and that made the rounds in the Russian media because they have nothing better to chatter about at the moment. Then Galliamov seized on it and has been acting like an a$$ on his Telegram toward her since.
She committed a mortal sin - she doubted the results of the Eteri team.

I guess galliamov is the winner

Yep. Eteri's entrants in pairs, dance and men all had disappointing results. She has no magic wand; just the ability to convert through starvation and doping, an unlimited supply of prepubescent girls into jumping machines.
