I was referring to recent (2019?) European Champ Sofia Samodurova. Does she stand a Chance in h*** of being invited to a G-P event next fall? Not that I don’t love her offbeat programs...oh, Mama Afrika!
The people who have a problem with a grown-a$$ woman who is comfortable with her body and sexuality really need step into this century and get over themselves. I think she looked sexy and stunning. Werk it, Empress!
I'm sure there are dozens of reasons why she left initially but, given her position in Eteri's group at the end of last season, I didn't understand why she left in the first place. As one of the top skaters in the world, I'm sure she was higher up on the pecking order than some of the girls who have basically surpassed her this season.
Interesting. If true, I’m wondering if “Hot Sergei” will be returning to Eteri’s coaching stable too? Can’t forget Hot Sergei!
Long time no post, lol. I did watch the cup over the weekend so, my thoughts:
Honestly, what is in the water in Russia?? How are these girls cranking out these quads like this?
Kamila: Despite the mess that program was at times, she impressed me with her step sequence. She actually performed! There was an engaged performance quality I haven't seen before. One of my only hang-ups with Kamila was her stony-faced approach to all of her skating. Seeing her smile and give a bit of energy and pizazz to her performance was refreshing. I feel like she's going to look like Polina Tsurskaya in terms of height/length which may hurt her in the end--Polina had those long legs and arms and huge jumps as well...and then puberty, so...
Maiia: Again, WTF is in the water? It seemed like those quads came out of nowhere and they were fabulous! Very good for her. I enjoy the way she performs--I really like her personality in her SP. Having those quads definitely raises her stake and makes the top in Russia even more crowded.
Daria: No quads or 3As but such a lovely skater. I love her R&J and the way she performs it. She's lower on the list without those big elements but with Eteri in her corner she gets that PCS boost that helps push her into that top 5.
Liza T: 10+ years in at the senior level and still competitive. That is called longevity and it doesn't seem to happen in Russian ladies. Thoroughly impressed with her and happy she's going back to worlds. And that Maxim shoot... I was like, "Daaaaaamn girl! YAAAAAAZ!!"
I thought Hot Sergei was the reason for Alena's switch? Puppy love? I figured the romance floundered and now she wants to go back to get away from Hot Sergei.Interesting. If true, I’m wondering if “Hot Sergei” will be returning to Eteri’s coaching stable too? Can’t forget Hot Sergei!
It will never cease to amaze me how grown people can spread nonsense about minors without even stopping for a second to think about how deranged and irresponsible it is.
Oh....OHHHHH... Oops. Never gave credence to that.
A person turning 18 in a couple of months, especially someone with world class talent and who has seen the world and has had to make more adult decisions than the typical adult, is probably cringing at the thought of some random thought-police skate nerd calling her a minor child. Which she is not.
Yes, sure. Because the supplements makes you rotate so fast that the girls have to take it very easy to land the quads, otherwise they could suddenly land the fifth revolution in the jump if they tried harder! Can I have some of those supplements too? I am a modest person and I will be happy with having triples (my hardest jump was only single Lutz, so one can’t be too greedy!) Or maybe the supplements give you extra spring? In fact, maybe it is not the supplements, maybe they altered their equipment (their skates) and have something in their boots or blades to make them more springy? More spring means higher jump, which means more time to finish all those rotations.
Kostornaya's transfer to Eteri is by no means confirmed. Tutberdize was asked by journalists and avoided the answer. Many people in figure skating elite are commenting that "Aleona left with a loud nasty band burning lots of bridges, so her return better be just as loud and sound apology.
Kinda epic.
To be honest...considering how she handled her last coaching change, I am not exactly surprised.
If Bin Yao was any good, then he would manage to get through even without competing at the worlds initially.
Yes, in his first year, he had no place at world championships. He could have gone to B competitions, get the ranking, see how the skating is done, learn from it the same way as he did and work his way up.

Semi- official - there will be a discussion (with Federation?) on March 04th to solve this issue.
What is CERTAIN however, is that Kostornaya just packed and abruptly left Plushenko without notifying him or the coaching staff, as she did Eteri.
