Yulia Lipnitskaya

My favorite performance of hers is actually this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DlQqRP6jZ4

Everything just clicked for me, both the music and the performance (and even the costume). I discovered it not long ago and found myself liking it even more than Shindler's List. I know I'm crazy... :biggrin:

I love the transition into the 3f but especially the transition out of the jump into the donut spin. Such a complex use of edge and momentum.

As for “baby Yulia”.....here is my favorite performance.

Aww she is so small and cute in the first few photos [emoji7][emoji1407][emoji177]
 
Do you think Eteri's team and Alina's parents refuse tons of interviews, tv appearances invitations for Alina? I remember in 2014 after the olympics, in a russian documentary about Yulia they said Eteri and her parents rejected so many medias invitations to let her breathe because the public was crazy about her and everybody wanted to see her, hear what she had to say. Alina is the gold medalist and i'm sure she's received tons of invitations too but she just went to that Putin thing (which i doubt she had a choice in accepting anyway) and has been on small random tv segments as well.
With all due respect to Alina, her level of popularity isn't even close to the one Yulia had (in 2014 especially). For a while, she was a legit celebrity, in a way that maybe only Plushenko has achieved out of figure skaters in Russia. Yulia said she had to wear a hood as late as 2016 to avoid being recognized, while Alina can go outside relatively freely. (?)
 
Maybe they can find a pac-man banner to gobble up that huge cube of meat on behalf of all of the skaters :laugh2:
 
Denis... He invited me to his show in Kazakhstan, I promised I will definitely come the next year. You must do everything in time so that not to have regrets later. We lost such a kind man...
