If she lost 10 pounds, her jumps would become more and more inconsistent: the biggest part of an athlet's weight is made of muscles, losing more than 7-8 pounds while training means losing muscles and losing muscles affects your jumps skills in a really negative way :disapp: just look at Harding, she didn't exactly have the body type you would call "good for a skater" and she was hitting probably the best 3Lutzes ever and 3As, too. And Liza is not Tonya Harding. At all.
Her problem was 100% mental!

That's a good point. It will be a nice departure form the many years of latin.
I'm happy they give her a chance to prove herself. It would be too sad to waste such a talent.

I do think her ship has sailed somewhat but if Liza can get her jumps back, she can stay in the mix. When she hits, her jumps are beautiful. Like Alba said we discussed a little while ago, Liza is still capable of hitting all of her jumps. It's not like she's URing everything or something like that...she's just not landing the jumps. Whatever mental block she has is holding her back.
As great as her jumps are, alone they won't be enough to move up in the Russian ranks. I think if Liza comes on strong this season she will be even with Anna. Then again, if Anna has made some improvements over the summer she may stay ahead of Liza. I think Liza is a very vibrant performer and I hope whatever programs she chooses this year will be very different from the last three years. Hopefully no more black dresses either.
I wish her all of the best, but she does have her work cut out for her.

Um, I don't mean to be rude, but could you please just shut up?

Liza started to really struggle since she gained weight, when I saw her mother's pics I knew she would become broad and stocky, I guess its not her fault for her body type / genetics. Mihsin has also mentioned about Liza has bad eating habits like eating ice cream
she needs to lose weight, even If that means taking powder for meals like Julia, I am surprised Mishin is not controlling what she eats
not everyone can have slim, long limbs an long legs like Anna, Mao or Carolina.
her problem is mental ? if she gets her jumps back her confidence will come back
really sad how she has been steadily sinking, this isnt the same Liza we love in 2011

unless you are liza's nutritionist/personal trainer or liza herself, i don't think anyone should speculate on diet or how much weight she (or any other skater) should or should not gain. i realize she is an athlete, but even so, her body is not up for the public's discussion. it is inappropriate and at times, downright cruel. as some others have pointed out, skaters at all levels of competition come in different sizes and shapes. and i'm very sure liza and many other impressionable female skaters who compete at these levels are well-aware of the difficulty of having to make these physical and emotional adjustments while trying to land triple jumps.

:agree:
Let us please not forget that young skaters posting/reading here may be facing growth issues themselves. I really feel like its portrayed in such an unhealthy way here and in our culture. Too often tiny = under eating and large = over eating. Nothing is ever that cut and dry and I certainly do not want to take part in spreading that type of thinking. People of all shapes and sizes have figure skated to all levels of success.

That was a very nice interview, thanks for posting. Liza has put last season behind
her and she sounds mature, upbeat and confident, good for her. I will be rooting for her! :yes:

Thankyou, athologyz.
Unfortunately there is no arguing with sky_fly who is convinced Liza is too fat and can never be persuaded otherwise, and thinks Liza should become anorexic.
(Things I would really love: for both Artur and Liza to come back strong and kick backside and watch sky_fly choke on their own ego.)
Hey, sky_fly, I've got news for you. After he finished competing at the Olympics, Jason Brown says he went and got icecream from the McDonalds EVERY DAY. Is he fat?

Jason can enjoy all kind of foods that he want, as long as he think it's healthy for his body.
Yuzuru also said he likes oily food. And he is mostly underweight!

Here's a tip. Put him on ignore and stop troll baiting him. It puts you on his level and just like him, you're STILL talking about an unhealthy topic in an unhealthy way.
Actually given that Jason lost 12 pounds training Riverdance, . he probably could use the ice cream. And yes, the same goes for Yuzuru too!
I personally like to eat a hamburger after a long run.
As far as Liza, I think her errors were mental, not physical.

Poor Jason, 12 pounds are almost 6kg! Poor baby Jason!Actually given that Jason lost 12 pounds training Riverdance, . he probably could use the ice cream. And yes, the same goes for Yuzuru too!

About Yuzuru, he likes oily food but he only has 3% of fat on his body! I don't know how it works!
As far as I've concerned, Liza doesn't look fat at all. Her body type is in her gen, she can make it work as long as she removes that mental block.
Go Liza!:yay:

It seems Liza has lost some weight, there are some new photos of her on facebook (at the training camp, I suppose) https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10203326981288956&id=1643330029
