If you know Russian, you can watch interview with Usmanova-Winner - she is the president of our federation of rhythmic gymnastics, at this Monday (maybe Pozner decided to arrange a month of sports
)tbh, I don't like Pozner too much. Pozner is a Westernizer in the way of thinking (he grew up and lived in America until the age of 18), a liberal. As soon as Winner said "God did this," of course Pozner speaks ironically - "I watch football, I see how the players of each team are cross oneself and I always think - which team should God help then?" But on the other hand, he never presses (unlike ours, home-grown liberals), he is intelligent, quite smart. It should be understood that a lot of questions will somehow be connected with politics, or about patriotism (Pozner will of course put a soft doubt on the concept, etc.), or about doping scandals and other such things.
Anyway, it should be interesting (tbh, I little nervous about Eteri - Pozner is a big shot, authoritative person)

Author deserves a prize for best fan video of all time
I second this!
unless something crazy happens, Tsurskaya, Panenkova, and Tarakanova are not going to get GP spots, since they're not guaranteed any and there are a lot of girls with guaranteed spots. So I think it is quite likely that Tarakanova will stay in juniors.
Sakhanovich, Gubanova, Tarusina, Konstantinova, and Sotskova are all guaranteed a spot if rusfed submits them for consideration. I think it's quite likely that they'll submit Konstantinova, since she did have a good season and they seem to like her. The rest is sort of up in the air. It depends if they're willing to give Sotskova the benefit of the doubt and hope she rebounds, but at the very least she'll get challenger assignments. I can see Sakhanovich being snubbed since she didn't make it to nats, and just do challengers like she did this season. Gubanova and Tarusina will probably get JGP spots if they don't get a senior GP.
With the 3As moving up, it might benefit some of them to stay in juniors for an extra season and get some medals

Clash of Titans then, as I think Tutberidze isn't easily intimidated.
But on live TV, the talkshow host always has the last word, or he indicates 'cut' to the director when the guest is taking over ...
On recorded TV, anything can be cut and re-arranged without any of us knowing ...

I don't know much about television details, but as far as I understand the clarifying messages of that woman - for the Far East of our country (Khabarovsk, Vladivostok), the Pozner program will be live, and for Moscow it will be recorded. As far as I understand, this is not a type of program that is recorded in a few days before - nothing is cut or corrected. As far as I understand this is not a show, this is a direct interview.

The last Eteri interview I watched was with Ted Barton (who I adore, but we all know he isn't going to ask any tough or particularly deep questions) so I think it'll be interesting to see how she handles someone who might dig a little deeper. And Eteri is one tough cookie. I think she'll be okay.

should be sold to Netflix or HBO
Looking at this season you can see that RusFed pretty much followed the SB list from last season.
SB 2018 --> GP 2019
1 Zagitova 2 spots
2 Medvedeva 2 spots
7 Sotskova 2 spots
11 Tsurskaya 2 spots
13 Radionova 2 spots
16 Konstantinova 2 spots
21 Tuktamysheva 2 spots
22 Panenkova 2 spots
-----------
29 Samodurova 1 spot + 1 spot as host pick
30 Leonova 1 spot after Radionova WD (Radi's first WD was announced too late so that spot was wasted)
32 Sakhanovich no spots
36 Mikhailova no spots
42 Guliakova no spots
44 Fedichkina no spots
The SB list for this year looks like this:
1 Zagitova (guaranteed 2 spots next year)
4 Medvedeva (guaranteed 2 spots next year)
5 Trusova
7 Shcherbakova
9 Tuktamysheva
10 Kostornaia
11 Samodurova (guaranteed 2 spots next year)
18 Sakhanovich
20 Tarusina
21 Gubanova
23 Konstantinova
------------
26 Leonova
29 Tarakanova
30 Guliakova
35 Vasilieva
42 Sotskova (still in top 24 world ranking list, so guaranteed 1 spot if RusFed submits her)
53 Panenkova
81 Tsurskaya
There has to be many retirements and/or injuries if the likes of Leonova and below are getting any GP spots next year.
I feel for Leonova, she has been in the GP circuit for 11 years and it probably comes to an end next season...

I am sure atleast half of them will retire soon. You can consider Anna P. is retired already officially since she said it herself here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc3beZ_z1RQ in recent interview at Radio Mayak. She is unable to begin serious training since each time her back pains returns. So they accept the situation as it is and said directly that health and married life is more important than career in sport.
Daria Panenkova broke her leg and is healing now. Judging by her interviews and instagram videos before it - she was uncertain in what she should do and she seemed to have quite low self-esteem at that time. Meanwhile she expressed her enjoyment of a coaching work. So I am pretty sure even if she tried to return to competitive form - that injury became deciding factor in understanding what her body is capable to handle now and where her limits are. It seems to me that it occurred exactly because she tried to train too hastily with a body which is not fit for competitive fs now. And she risks similar injury each tme she would try to train again or risks having eating disorder if she decides to drop her weight extensively.
Konstantionova, Sotskova and Sima each will have atleast 1 GP event next season, I believe. Tarakanova, Tarusina and Gubanova will be held in juniors again or they can try to change their country to Belarus, for example. Radionova highly likely will retire too - there were enough hints for it in her tv commentating job remarks. As for Tsurskaya - idk, but her future prospects is looking glum as well.
That quad was for breakfast. A silly warm-up, so to speak.By lunch Sofia started to kid around with 4Т+3Т:

Back in the day (my day) there would be 'rumors' that skater A was landing jump X....but now, there it is, out there for all competitors to see, all over the internet. I wonder what that is like for the skaters competing today. I mean, she is all of 11, isn't she?

she is guaranteed two because she is on the WS list and the SB list (that is, if her name is submitted).
no she's not, being on both lists is the equivalent of being on one - only guaranteed one spot. the only way to get guaranteed 2 is by placing top 12 at worlds
But the top folks get 2 GPs pretty much always.

Kind of sad aren't most of these girls not even 21 andable to drink legally in the US? To think Russia's no. 5 and 7 ladies were World Gold and Bronze medallists. And here I was thinking this was a weak year for Russia relatively compared to the riches in Japan. Now can Alina, Evgenia, Sofia and Liza take on the jumping beans forget about comeback bids of Radinova, Pogo, Tsurskaya and Leonova. Poor Maria S must be shaking her skating boots. I have to admit these young ladies have grit and determination. To win two medals in Japan of all places against the Japanese powerhouse well it says these young ladies are strong.
Not for the squeamish and I don’t know how they ended up with these photos (it’s an invasion of privacy that they were leaked), but I can’t believe the Russian fed made Alina compete looking like this. It’s the kind of thing that can get badly infected with much more serious repercussions. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvldsl_H_g2/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1viy1pa4c33hm

1. I feel terrible myself because I can't help her
2. it's unknown who shared pics with "teamzagitova" but Alina allowed the publication

Yes, she gave permission but it seems someone close to her leaked it initially. Who knows if it was a “planned” leak or not but we don’t usually see the details of injuries so it’s kind of a shock.
It makes sense now that Euros was also a poor performance. That kind of injury is unlikely to fully heal in a month, and especially not if you’re trying to train on it.
