Also how cheap was it that there was Nikita's try-out behind her back? If it were me I'd pack my bags and go to airport instead of being lied to and then having to skate with that partner too. At least she stuck to her commitment! Hats off to her. Glad she she isn't in a toxic partnership anymore.
Exactly! So agree with you! Let's face it, there are quite a few athletes out there that would've taken off or would've skated terribly. She thought about not wanting to do it (normal response) but then she went through with it and did her best, so I applaud her.
And I feel like from what I read that she didn't say she wasn't motivated for an Olympic medal - she just didn't have the desire to go after a World's when she'd just found out that Nikita, their coach, etc. were working behind her back to get him a new partner and everyone knew about it. So, I don't have any worries! I think she and Ruslan have a desire to go very far (which she basically said); and she also said that she knew it'd be a lot of work, but they're up for it. So, kudos to them!
