I meant only Davis/Smolkin would and did get their release. The favoritism towards this team is unbelievable.According to Pravda, they have already gotten their release.
Чайковская сообщила, что фигуристам Дэвис и Смолкину разрешили перейти в сборную Грузии
Главный тренер сборной России отметила, что заявления на переход от спортсменов не поступалоtass.ru
Yeah, it's Pravda, but still....
People with the opinion like yours are the root cause for descrimination, nationalism and hatererd. I am sure there are other ''causes'' you support with the same attitude.
@airgelaal is in Ukraine. I cut her some slack.
Is Lithuania letting in any Russian athletes on VISAs for competitions right now? Their restrictions are tighter than a lot of countries, I think.
No idea. I haven't kept track of that lately, but that would certainly be another barrier for Russians (and probably Belarusians too, if the Wagner build-up near the Suwalki Gap are legitimate).
Hard to say if your people are murdered and slaughtered right now by a people where we do not see significant protest within or outside of Russia by Russian people
They don't have a free press the way we do.
The good attitude towards the russians ended in a war in my country. Simply because discrimination, nationalism and hatred are the prerogative of russians.
I assure you the Russians outside of Russia do. But I know enough in Germany who still buy everything Putin tells them and are behind the war.
Considering that rape has been a weapon of the Russian army, by supporting the war, he is supporting sexual violence. I don't see the world of figure skating being any less tolerant of him.
So, in answer to the question... see this brand-new interview they did - yes, they had to pay for their release.
Unfortunately, there are even Germans (born and raised in Germany) and also citizens of other countries (born and raised int heir respective country) who are supporting Putin & Co. Just look at the German right-wing party AfD.

For Berezhnaya of all people to put her daughter into pairs skating
Berezhnaya, or her daughter?
I dunno... That score at LPIDI would have beat CarPon for 10th in Saitama. Another 2 points would have beat TurkVer and 5.5 would have had them ahead of the Taschlers. I'd say they're very clearly set up for top 10 in Montreal, even if HawBak are back and SmaDie prove to be very good.
Well, Reviya's knees aren't going to get better, so I think they were a moot point. It's a pity he was injured when he was because they had a stellar junior career.
I wouldn't compare a small competition at the beginning of the season to a major competition of a previous year. If you recall Davis/Smalkin already had some sky high score in some B competition in Warsaw that beat Stepanova/Bukin's GP score. And nothing.

This stinks, hon.
TBH, it would be amazing if Putin tried to interrupt a fight between Eteri and TAT and was killed off as a result.
So deserving. They are amazing contributors to figure skating
Bagin's reaction to media `I retired? I had no idea'.
I, too, admire abuse, doping, limping crossovers, godawful choreography, homophobia, and body-shaming.
If Eteri could pull that off I wouldn't say anything bad about her for like 1 whole week...maybe...
