[Sandpiper]

Perfect job Looks like a dramatic, mortal combat of gladiators is going to happen. I loved the ending with Liza's 3A and Adelina's shot

They're showing up at every competition, they're snatching your podium up. Hide your medals, hide your skaters.

 

[Imagine]

^That's the general idea lol.

Even as I was making that video I couldn't help but think...wow...what a shame it is that only 3 of them can make it to Pyeongchang...but I guess they still have a great chance at sweeping the podium anyway.

I'll admit...I feel a bit unpatriotic for making that video but it can't be helped! Russian ladies are completely killing it atm.

Wow. This was fantastic! Were it a trailer for a movie or game, I would definitely buy it. Organizers should consider doing something similar to promote events less likely to draw attention, because that trailer was pure talent

It's brilliant. It's so pity only three of them will go to Olympic

Rather a max of three can go. . . . who knows who will rise up in the next few years.

I never would have guessed that the Japanese men would be down to 2 spots for next years Worlds yet here we are, so you're right there's no guarantee for 3 spots for the Russian ladies in 2018 but it's still a shame because 1, 2 or 3 spots not every one of these girls will have a chance to go to the Olympics in 2018.

I know i´m probably asked too much, but wonder if you could do one for the next season 3A battle =D Would be pretty epic too, Mao x Liza =D

I really hope that Russians will get 3 spots. I'm not a fan of all the ladies skaters in Russia some of them are just not my cup of tea. But getting just two spots would be really shame. They are all great, they are working like crazy from a very young age. And maximum of 3 will go to the Olympics which will be already cruel for others. 2 spots would be sad, because it means just two of these amazing girls can go. Just minority of them will go to the Olympics, some of them won't even be at the European or World team.

That's a good idea, but I think it's already been done pretty well. This is one example I found that's really good.

A new interview with Inna Goncharenko http://www.sport-express.ru/se-velena/reviews/879179/

Key points:

We wanted more especially after the nationals. But then multiple colds and psychological stuff.
I knew that Mishin was up to something when he started to bring Liza to multiple competitions.
When you reach a high level you should start to do things differently. But there are limitations. Especially in a big school like CSKA. We cannot get more ice not taking it from someone. Everyone wants the best for their pupils. It means if we have a new FS rink I will definetely take this opportunity into consideration. All this season we had ice at 8:15. It means the start of the training at 7 and the need to get up at 5. Otherwise the body will not be ready.

With several people in the group it is impossible to support a big athlete alone: others will leave you. I have 6 pupils now - 2 left. Then we need help. It costs money. Until the end of this season it were Elena's parents who paid for fitness, gliding, choreo specialists. We asked the Fed for help and we are very grateful that we will have it next season.

If Lena had a sponsor I would hire a choreographer. Then all others - CSKA cannot offer enough money to professionals - it should be done on an individual basis. Even music. I have to do it myself - we just cannot afford several hundred euros for this.

We work with Averbukh - he has a special approach. We of course would be happy but we are realists to understand that so far we cannot afford going to America, Stephan Lambiel, Marina Zueva, and Lori Nichols.

We will not accelerate the difficulty buildup because of the competition. We are still growing and we do not need injuries. The focus will be on the basics.

I am glad that Mao is back - it is the honor for us to compete with her.

Thanks for the link. Perhaps they are seeking something a bit more theatrical, similar to yours? My edit was mostly done in the vein of comparison rather than "here comes an epic showdown, hold on to your hats."

I have been thinking about repackaging it that way, but don't want to just recycle from what's already been done (from myself or others)... and some folks could take it a little too seriously. Regardless, maybe I will play around with it a bit and see if I can come up with anything worth uploading.

Thank you for sharing that Samkrut. Sounds like Elena's coach is classy and has a very grounded approach

Classy comment.

I hope our poor Lena will get a good sponsor.

This is very interesting :think: I would never have guessed that a skater winning medals at GPF, Euros and Worlds had to be founded by her parents! And, thanks God they are not going to try a 3A or a quad: Elena's axel technique is far from an ideal one, and only imagining those tiny legs jumping four revolutions in the air scares me :hopelessness:

 

[sabinfire]

I know i´m probably asked too much, but wonder if you could do one for the next season 3A battle =D Would be pretty epic too, Mao x Liza =D

Here's my attempt (with a happy ending for everyone!)

2016 Preview - Mao Asada & Elizaveta Tuktamysheva triple axel

*fingers crossed*
