Ah, so you are still at it I see. Well, I guess everything Evgenia says or does can be interpreted in a negative way if there's a will. People will see what they want to see. How about these alternative readings of what you (and, admittedly some others) have been harping on:
- Evgenia didn't respond to Eteri's messages so she must be rude and ingrateful - or how about she's been advised to do so by her team? Sounds very plausible to me.
- if Evgenia is a hypocrite for congratulating Alina while -maybe- wishing Alina had been kept on the Jr circuit, then I guess we're all hypocrites. Have you never been in a situation when you had to say nice things to a relative you cannot stand to prevent a family scandal, to a colleague who, say, got a promotion in your place because other colleagues are watching, to tell white lies and pretend you're interested in what people you don't give a toss about tell you? And the whole world was watching her. TBH, I vastly prefer Evgenia's classy conduct to an undoutedly genuine but unsportsmanlike display of emotion at getting an Olympic silver.
- even if Evgenia did say what Eteri claims she did about Alina, how about she's not being bitter/jealous/whatever, but just a normal human with emotions and outbursts. That happens to the very best of us, and let whoever never said anything in the heat of a moment cast the first stone.
Just offering an alternative POV, and I'm leaving it at that.
