I remember Nancy getting irritated because Oksana was taking so long to ready herself for the medal ceremony. Trusova's honesty following the competition was a highlight for me. If only she would have been clean in the short program....
I'm sorry but no. Nathan also skates from one side of the rink to the other doing quads but he's got better posture, better technique (yes sorry, she leans on her landings and pre rotates), better spins, better interpretation (he actually looks UP), and he sells the heck out of his step sequences.
Even if the ban is only two years, that's enough to take her out of contention for 2016, isn't it? I know she'll only be 19 by the next Olympics, but when you have younger girls coming up without the "baggage" that Valieva now has, she's more than expendable. Poor kid.
If you've read the translations, that's legit what she said. Several Russian speakers here have confirmed it.
Nathan's first senior season looks a lot like Trusova's skating right now. He had quads sure, but his spins were terrible and his inbetween skating wasn't great either.
Yeah, well, by his 3rd senior season his skating had most definitely grown and matured. So, what's Trusova's excuse?
She's still 17 and her coaches suck?
Yeah, except Oksana wasn't the reason for the delay in the medal ceremony so Nancy just looked like a dick...
Well, we know that now but that's what Nancy was, erroneously, told at the time. It's still one of the best/worst hot mic moments in Olympic figure skating history, lol.
I thought the delay was actually that they couldn't find the Ukrainian flag.
It was, but Nance Romance didn't get the memo, so she just whinged about Baiul while the camera and mic happened to be on her.
That was back in the days when I recorded both US and Canuck coverage.
This all reminds me of the Meet Your Second Wife gameshow skit on SNL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJEAGd1bQuc
She and Kaori can definitely bond over "just waitin' for my bronze over here, chillin' and mindin' my own while happy to have medaled at all!"That was back in the days when I recorded both US and Canuck coverage.
Lu Chen was like, can I just get my medal pretty please.
Can't see it in the US so I used a different browser, but...
No it was a tape of the Ukrainian anthem.
Inquiring minds... I can't see it either and I've tried all three browsers I have with a VPN.Can't see it in the US so I used a different browser, but...
She's giving the finger the entire time she stands there on the podium holding the stuffed animal
And maybe the camera shouldn’t have been there but I am glad it was.

Sharpie took away the animated gifs for profile photos last month because it was giving some people headaches. But, that's pretty flippin' epic! I really wish she'd stayed with Plushenko last year, because I liked where he was trying to take her and I think I'd have maybe been rooting for her this season if she was still with him.imgur.com

It keeps displaying an error message when I try to put a video, and I'm not sure if the link to the photo works so I made it my photo <---
No, I'm talking about the video as a gif in imgur. It keeps erroring out. But she wasn't being so subtle. It's funny!
