Watched it again on Eurosport, yes, he said that. And yes she was under pain, she was so brave. If the TSL-people were the experts they pretend to be they should have known that she was injured!!
Was Zhenya skating with pain meds like cortisone? Has there been any news on whether or no she’s been checked out by a doctor?

Cortisone is an anti-inflammatory medication, it doesn't work against pain.

Yep, congrats to Zhenya on her medal. Just don't dig her "mean warrior" face she skates with, lately. I loved cheerful, mischievous and obnoxiously good Zhenya when she was throwing her 3Lz-3T-3T-3T-3T combos just for fun and to show she is capable of much more. Her grit and ballsy character deserves respect, despite her PR shortcomings. I wish her well in the next season. I wish her better music choice for the next season. And more nice difficult transitions she was famous for. Next season will be decisive and much tougher with my 3A squad in the mix. Love her grit and determination as always! Nerves of steel.

Now that the season is over, I can admit that neither Tosca or the tango were my favorites. She did them well but I just didn’t enjoy them as much as some of her previous programs and that’s to be expected during a transition time. I did love "Orange Colored Sky" at Autumn Classic (and will return to watch that performance again) though I 100% supported the decision to change it as this season it just wasn't the right vehicle. Jonathan on TSL talked was 100% on the mark when he said Zhenya is a warrior during competitive events and needs material that can let her be intense. (I showed my husband that gif of Zhenya at the end of her program and we just love it!). I would love to see her do "Orange Colored Sky" as a gala because all that sass and flirtation people claimed she was missing, I truly believe she has and can portray convincingly given a more laidback enviornment.
The more time goes on I am so happy that Zhenya moved to TCC! At the Olympics, I was a new fan and just learning about Eteri and assuming that the relationship worked well for her but I am so glad she is out of there. Her current team really seems to support her and have her long-term best wishes at heart. Having read those twitter comments and seen behavior from the adult on her previous team, I’m glad she is away from that. I think it is plain that she was either actively encouraged or in the very least not actively discouraged from maintaining very unhealthy eating habits that led to her injury and possibly losing the gold medal. We will never know for sure but I’m glad she’s on a healthier path.
So looking forward to all the content from Zhenya at the shows! Excited to see her skate to “Memoirs of a Geisha” I love the story and music and hope that Zhenya isn’t afraid to bring her acting qualities into it. I know people have complained about her pantomiming and it's great that she has been able to experiment and try new things. But she is such a wonderful actress and her dramatic, beautiful facial expressions are one of my favorite things about her skating. It’s lovely to see “Experience” return – that spiral, so beautiful! It’s clear the story and Evgenia herself have evolved. Can't wait to see what next season will bring!

Well, you can‘t really be cheerful and mischievous while skating with an injury. And she‘s not 16 anymore, she can‘t just throw out 5 jump combos just for fun. This season has been hard. She‘s changed quite a lot but don‘t worry, off-ice she‘s still the same cheerful Zhenya when interacting with other skaters.
I think now that she has more time to work on programs, there should be more transitions. Last year‘s programs were done in a rush, there was no time and they had to work on technique and jumps and spins as well. This year the whole process should be calmer and there will be more time for details. Of course next season is going to be hard for all current Russian ladies in seniors with the 3A moving up but Zhenya will do what she has to do. Maybe she won‘t make the team next year. Maybe she will. But that doesn‘t matter. Her goal‘s different, it‘s not solely about medals, even though she surely still has Beijing in mind.

I didn't want to suffer through the video, but on the comments section they multiple times made snarky remarks about Zhenya using it to make money.

Btw, I saw this post and found it nice. It‘s a junior skater who did Zhenya‘s Tosca step sequence. And Zhenya liked it. Quite cute.

Best thing is to ignore it and not to give them more attention in this fanfest.

That is great! I have been wanting to do something like that but I am not in the best skating shape right now. Give me 6 months to a year
