I agree, considering that in Russian "podium" means runway.
This explains why Eteri settled Diana with Alina. Dancers don't need quads anyway, but maybe she will contract gold.

What? This thread has taken a slightly sexist turn ....

Joking aside, we all know that the real question about Stasya is not about the appearance.
Political choices like that one was meant to reward a school, more than a skater.
Some skaters, like Polina on this newer season, could be forced to change and fight for be the first choice on another school, for not miss a chance.
I don't see this fed give all the near future spots to Sambo's skaters.

You hit the nail on the head here...
I might be a little behind here, but can someone help me out? I was reading Alena's ask and some posts on here, so Eteri's group is in Novogorsk? Is this where they are training now, like permanently, and why? And all of them sharing rooms, so is it like a hotel and then they go home on days off?

Since the Soviet times many educational institutions have been sending their students to summer camps to so-called sport gatherings. For amateurs it's mostly a reward for competing on behalf of the institution, on the intermediate level it's a chance to focus on training for a couple of weeks, while for professional athletes like Eteri's and Mishin's it's a chance to change the scenery and relax mentally without harming the results.
This season I am on a mission to translate TAT's commentary, or maybe even sube some videos on youtube.
She is knowledgeable, and overall a legend, but damn that hypocrisy, fatblaming and all the other nice stuff.
Its not going to happen as long as there are other girls that can land triples.
Politics =(
The only positive thing is that *maybe* Polina and Gubanova will get a Buyanova bonus.
But then, I dunno... For example, take Radio - Buyanova clearly just left her out and put all the effort on Sotskova. I fear something like this may happen again this season.

that's it
but some people continue make posts like this
in this thread (2018-2019 State of Russian Ladies' Skating) and not in the "personal" skater thread and they think it's normal
SO
I think my post is OK too

But tars is in love, leave him be
this is why we have fanfests. He can be in love in Stasya's fanfest as much as he wants.

Well, I‘d never have thought that I‘d defend tars but here we are: I don‘t think a lighthearted comment of a fan here and there is really a problem. Who are we kidding, the thread‘s never going to be fully objective, we all have our favourites. So as long as this isn‘t turning into a fanfest of a certain skater, a few occasional remarks are okay.

I wish Russia had an equivalent of the Aerial Challenge -- would be really, really exciting

The rumor is that she left Novogorsk but the rumor isn't that she left the group.
Of course, her leaving Novogorsk could mean that she left the group but that's just speculation.

I just watched the Aerial Challenge and I feel like I have the craziest idea. Ting Cui should go to Eteri. She is really struggling in between coaches but who is there for her to go to? Orser and Raf are all booked up and so many of these other US coaches just ain't all that right now. But this girl has loads of talent and potential. She is 15 years old and has that tiny body that Eteri specializes in. I bet she and her team could really help with her jumps. And imagine her with Danil's choreography!
Everyone always says why would an American want to move thousands of miles away from their family and friends to Russia to train but why would an athlete from another country want to come to the US to train? Marin Honda is barely older than Ting and Eunsoo Lim is younger and they train in CA now. It isn't like she will live in Russia for the rest of her life. Eteri lived in the US for nearly a decade and speaks perfect English, she is familiar with Americans and could surely train one.
Imagine Eteri and co show up at US Nationals and Ting wins the senior ladies title with a quad. Then all four of them can do their syncro swimmer move in the KIC and everyone be like wuuuuuuuuut...:eeking:

Yes, from what I understand she left Novogorsk and a lot of people think that because this is very abrupt it could mean she left the group.
But Alena also mentioned an illness on her ask account?
Whatever is happening, I hope Nastya is okay and healthy.
