I think too, that they will give Med the Gold if she skates clean.:think:
if Zag goes clean and gets a monster score it could really make Med nervous.
she does have a chance for bronze... But that was almost same chance as Carolina gold medal... I hope Carolina can have silver with clean FS or just 85-90% clean already make me happy, kinda how Aliev almost clean got him a silver medal!Hope that Sotskova will ditch her helicopter arm. Judges don't give her insane GOEs anyway. Sadly she surely will end 4th again , even if she's clean and Kostner bombs.
Does anyone know if her daughter, Diana, does skate. I believe she is 14.
I have to admit that I have never been a fan of Med. My Russian favorites are Polina T and Maria S. To some extent I did find Med overscored but that's not really her fault. A lot of other skaters are also overscored. Before Zagitova I usually don't finish watching Med when she skates because I know it is usually just the same thing. She would skate clean, get high scores and then win.
That said, this time however I am rooting for her^^ I hope she skates clean though I can sense she's not 100% back yet. Whatever the results i am glad she's back.
Olympics will really be interesting.
Finally read up on Eteri and was surprised she lived in the United States for 6 years and her daughter was born in Las Vegas. lol Maybe her daughter could skate for the US. Does anyone know if her daughter, Diana,
does skate. I believe she is 14.
I do feel exactly the same- Medvedeva does not touch my heart, and not at all. Empty skate for me. Artificial feelings ( and I read she said she was taking an acting classes), a little theatre, nothing from the heart. She might be good technically ( and certainly is) but, unfortunately, I am not watching figure skating in order to analyze technical abilities of a skater. For me figure skating is... a touch of something uplifting, touch of some other world, an expression of the unity of body soul and spirit.... Music! A music where a figure skater is a music instrument. Anyway- all the best to her. Though, it is hard to me to watch her programs to the end so empty and artificial they seems to me. Either she is a champion or not it, it does not matter. I do not watch a champion for champion's sake, I watch a figure skating.
