Nastya has a message for all those who doubt in her

Haha, I like her reply here.

rossiyasport The rightful junior worlds bronze medalist
nastya_gubanchik@rossiyasport I think I'm not only skating on bronze

And to be honest I do agree that she should have been 3rd at Junior Nationals and she most likely would have been 3rd at Junior Worlds also. The fact that Russian Fed pushed Stasya for the Junior Worlds spot bugs me even more now when we know that Stasya will get to go to senior Worlds also.

It’s like she paints the ice with her emotions when she skates. 100% from the heart. Thanks for sharing because I had been searching

Just amazing. I hope she steps her technical game up next season to match her beautiful and artistic skating.

 

[RemyRose]

I have nothing but respect for her coaches but the politics game must be played at the top level. She needs CSKA or Plushenko to convince these federation folks that she is worth a few extra a points!

Well looks like she is ready to play. Serafima confirmed she is no longer with Turenko https://mrsport.ria.ru/figure_skating/20180319/1134317298.html

Awaiting official info but FSO says Buyanova/CSKA.

 

[Elucidus]

There are rumors that Buyanova didn't accept her after all 0_0 Also there is insider info presumably from her mother's acquaintance that there are talks about even retiring from skating and focusing on general education since she lost motivation to keep going forward in sport after lose to Konstantionova presumably by fishy judges decision and they have financial difficulties with renting apartments as well.

Well, that would be a very sad outcome. And unfortunately, I doubt it'd affect the way Russian fed does their things at all. They have too many skaters to spare to miss a beat.

So often, they seem to be completely clueless regarding what they have.

Ohh, nooo.... sad news. Is it possible for Russian Fed to help her in a way or another?
Off the topic: do you know something about Tarakanova? is she injured or what?

Tarakanova wasn't chosen as part of Russian Team at Junior Words so it was just the end of season for her (just like Panenkova's). She will most probably come back next season at JGP

 

[MalAssada]

I hope she doesn't retire. Would she consider moving disciplines, if she finds ladies too crowded?

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

I wouldn’t blame her one bit if she retired but it got me like............ :curse:

 

[Katiemeier]

Someone plz tell me that’s not true[emoji21]

 

[tars]

Retirement at 15? Even with all the competition in Russian ladies fs it would be quite shocking. :noshake:

 

[GlitterIce]

I hope the retirement rumor isn't true!

 

[Katiemeier]

I’ve asked her about the retirement on Instagram and she said it’s not true. What a relief!

It’s amazing....what an incredible performance. My day just feels better having seen that.

How amazing would be if the two girls (singer also) got together to create a program for Anastasia? That was art on ice!! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing. Does she get paid for that?

Why would she retire she just turned 15 years old?

Yes. Ice shows are one of ways figure skaters earn money.

Unfortunately her jumps are still not good

why does a federation not like her? did they think she's too womanly or something? She's a few months younger than Alina Zagitova looks like she's more physically developed than Alina even though are about the same height. Let's be real it must be so discouraging to Anastasia to get the shaft like she has from her federation. it must discourage her maybe that's where the retirement rumors came from. but if you watch the video of her at Art on ice she doesn't seem like a 15 year old girl so she'll always be able to do shows and make a career of it. Let's hope her last year of Juniors next year goes great and she starts to get her Federation to support her more.

If her jumps are still not that good maybe that's why the Federation doesn't support her like they should. She seems to have respectable results though and she sure is a lovely figure skater. That art on ice show probably can't believe she's only 15. I don't blame her for doing that show and making some money.
