The last few months have shown there are plenty of valid reasons to mock Tutberidze.2. Mocking Tutberidze, because she dares to have successful skaters, the bitch.

give them some shovels and elbow grease to dig out the mutilated bodies of Ukrainian children and dig their graves. That will get them in shape."Please, our skaters, they are growing fat and lazy."
If you are reading Russian skating thread, it is too much to hope for some news. All you will find here is:
1. Mocking Russian skaters, because clearly the war is their fault.
2. Mocking Tutberidze, because she dares to have successful skaters, the bitch.
3. Thorough analysis of how Russians are not missed on international competitions, because at least other countries can earn some medals in ladies. Because this is clearly not about who is better at skating, it is about ensuring that the weaker skaters can have their turn at winning a medal.
There are many places to go online if you'd like to participate in Russian and Tutberidze propaganda.I had a long post about how annoying it is to want to read actual news, but it's just not worth the effort on FSU any more.
Also the issue of tainted reputation due to institutionalized doping. Further the war was just a lame excuse for the ISU. They've failed to sanction Russia for years.If you are reading Russian skating thread, it is too much to hope for some news. All you will find here is:

4. ‘Helpful’ suggestions about how to make the sports easier to give other countries a chance to catch up. Why not abandoning the lifts and throws and twists and death spirals, so that any two single skaters can do pairs? That would sort out the problems with not having enough pairs.
Sadly, Russia and Tutberidze have been making a joke of international competition since at least PyeongChang.This attitude would make a joke of international competition.
I have no idea what you are talking about, me joking about Asian skaters in ice rinks?Yes, it's instead about
I thought you only "joked" about Asian skaters in ice rinks, but it's good to see you have a steady profession as a comedienne on here, too.
Much more likely that the skaters from other countries will not step on the ice if a Russian skater goes on the ice. Ukrainian skaters should never have to have a choice between not skating or being on the same ice as Russians prancing around with blindfolds and ear plugs. There are many wonderful Russians, many of who have been arrested, beaten and jailed for speaking the truth. Are there any skaters who are for the Ukrainians. How would the ISU know? Putin runs the Russian skating federation along with everything else in Russia & to cross him could mean their death & those of their families. Instead of feeding them drugs he will be feeding them poison.“Athletes can say to ISU: ‘We don’t want to compete without Russians.’ opinion of State Duma Deputy Svetlana Zhurova
"After all these sobbig from Eteri, Tarasova and company we thought nothing would surprise us. But wait a second…Here we go. A comment from State Duma Deputy Svetlana Zhurova."
“It is unlikely that ISU will take this measure (proposed by Eteri Tutberidze not to gove rating and titles in the absence of Russian skaters – ed.), but you can turn to athletes, say: “Yes, we don’t want to compete without Russians.”
She says "you can call for support to allow Russians"

The only news that would be worth reading in this thread is that Russia has sued for peace and asked the ISU and WADA to do what they will to conduct a thorough investigation ofIf you are reading Russian skating thread, it is too much to hope for some news.
I don't miss Russian women on the international scene precisely because I like to see the best skaters win and that hasn't been the norm since Yuna Kim's second Olympic gold was stolen from her. 2022 should have been Kaori Sakamoto's second consecutive world title BTW.If you are reading Russian skating thread, it is too much to hope for some news.

Oh don't bother. She was "laughing and joking" about how "it must have come as a real shock to [Yuna]" to be scored accurately "for once in her life".

May I suggest Goldenskate for fans of Russian skating? The moderators were completely unwilling to do anything about Eteri and Plushenko cultists last I checked - I'm sure this is still the ca

get a fcuking grip!
Yuna "six triples" Kim lost that gold medal for herself at a point she clearly no longer wanted to be skating but this horse has been beaten to death.
I actually never really understood how Yuna beat Mao and her triple axels in 2006. But this is the Russian thread.Amen to this. She couldn't double axel her way to gold like she did in 2010. I'm not sure how dominant Kim would've been if the rule change limiting double axels had been in place during her peak years. She'd have been forced to either try a triple loop, which she never really mastered, or she'd have been limited to one triple-triple combination.

Now that China is trying to seal off Taiwan, will there be the same support to ban their skaters from events?
Last update I saw was in June and I posted relevant article excerpts here: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...y-for-team-medals.109402/page-47#post-6268091So, does anyone know the outcome of the Russian Oly team event given that one skater was found with an illicit substance?
LOL - why does it matter if she flew to the US 3 times this spring? She's back in Moscow now and isn't that the most important thing?Mean while Russian media: Eteri flew to the US 3 times!!
Eteri: nope, I'm here in Khrustalny
russian media: we know better!!! we are serious journalists! take us seriously!!
Yagudin: I pooped 3 times, anyone wants to publish an article about it?
Russian media: but... but.... but....ok then, we'll publish an article om Rodnina then! She is still a news maker!
IJS is brainless addition. Triple lutz triple toe worth more because double toe worth nothing.I actually never really understood how Yuna beat Mao and her triple axels in 2006. But this is the Russian thread.

In her interview with RIA Novosti Sport (Aug. 5) she says she has "suspended her career":Stanislava Konstantinova retired
What is your current status anyway?
- Last summer, I signed a transfer to Moskvich to train with Victoria Butsaeva. Should have played for Moscow. Now I don’t train, and it’s hard to even say what status I have. I have not written a statement about the end of my sports career in the FFKKR and have not yet made a final decision for myself. We talked with Victoria Evgenievna and came to the conclusion that we need to take a break. I missed almost all of last season.
It was very difficult to recover from the coronavirus, then injuries pursued, old sores aggravated. I just did not see the motivation to continue my career and decided to suspend it. Now you need to take care of your health, study, just reboot. When what you love is no longer loved, you need to change something.
Who really cares though?LOL - why does it matter if she flew to the US 3 times this spring? She's back in Moscow now and isn't that the most important thing?
Double toe loops carry a base value of 1.30 points. That is hardly "worth nothing".double toe worth nothing.
