2017-18 State of Russian Ladies skating

I was expecting to see something like this. Amazing documentary about little ballerinas. Very interesting and pretty informative. Instead of this, instead of showing some parts of trainings, like, "one day with Eteri and girls", they're telling boring stories from their biography and showing last year videos from competitions, which everybody has already read and seen x100 times. Just ugh. Nothing interesting at all. What a shame.

I watched this video & it's IS EQUAL to our!
What do U want to see in this video? Remember, that there is much more in Eteri's coaching methods & groundwork is NOT for public audience bcs of well known reasons. Then I don't see NOTHING detailed videos of others great coaches.
I suspect that Eteri gave such permission to show on TV SO LATE (more than year) in these reasons
 
After watching that video and the cruelty to Alina from Eteri. I hope she wins...poor girl. It bought tears to my eyes. I have a sense of where she is coming from and what she has gone through to get here. Good luck girl..

Eteri seems like she has a pretty rough personality. Medvedeva probably strived under Eteri’s harsh attitude, but it seems a bit much for Zagitova. Zagitova seemed sad. I hope the baby wins too. Zagitova has grown on me.

What cruelty, really? It's normal that the skaters to get feedback after training. How else do you want the skater to improve him/herself?
 
I got into the hotel room in Gangneung, turned on TV just to see how Zhenya showed yet another time what a diamond she is. The true queen of modern figure skating. Slayed the competition with the gap 6+ points between her and everybody else.

Zagitova will have her moment of glory. But I hope that these are Medvedeva's games.

Sports.ru says that Medvedeva's godlike performance led to an earthquake just 160km from the Pyeongchang :biggrin:
Probably even gods were shocked by her performance :laugh2:
 
I want to to tell you an interesting story..Friday I showed the opening ceremony to one of my classes in the school. There was time to start and I showed some figure skating programs ;) to them . I showed Zagi's short because of his energy, his jumps, his beautiful costume and because they are in same age. One of the girls said literally: "but she is not so graceful" I explained she is very young now she will improve in the performance, plus she is doing too many TRs. And I showed one of Yuna's programs and said you will see the difference. A boy said some minutes later "really can see the difference". They are a very intelligent group. :)
 
Watching the video, I feel that Evgenia is now more humble than before... I think that the period with the injury helped her to revisit her values.
 
She has skated her short program just absolutely in the same way as at Worlds 2017 she skated her FP. All jumps except 3loop looked heavy, spins weren't good, especially the first one, that was a bit slow with traveling. Step seqeunce in a couple places also looked sloppy. I hope this reference with the 2017 worlds FP will continue, because after that, she skated very beautiful and flawless at World Team Trophy. The big difference. So, maybe that was a sign, just in another order - heavy skate in the team event instead of individual, and flawless skate at individual, instead of team'? [emoji848]
 
I recorded Zhenya's skate from NBC channel, but I'm afraid to upload it on youtube, because of garbage copyrights youtube' system, they literally ban and block everything what relates with Olympics. With other crap video-sharing site dailymotion the same situation. Maybe I should try vimeo? 🤔

She did what she needed to do. And Evgenia skated with tapes, still recovering, probably. I hope she will be healthy enough to show her best at individual competition.
