I agree with you. One more comp.In all honesty, I think we should not let go until after WTT

Stanislava Konstantinova will be skating to Moulin Rouge for the FS for the 2019/20 season
Ay you got me emotional. I'm having issues letting go
We can keep two threads going at once
So many people talk (and talked) about Alina should stop. If only Alina had listened to them, Kazakhstan could have first gold medal
It still amazes me that people can simultaneously say that the Russians have no longevity, and then go on to talk about how Alina, a 16 year old girl who has specifically stated her intention to continue, should retire.
It may depend on a particular desire to see their most liked skaters to win whenever the less liked may interfere.
The Fanclub on skater A may recommend the skater B to retire ASAP. Especially if A is positioned higher than B.
Also, I don't understand why people still discuss it particularly with Alina. Why not with Zhenya, Liza, Masha and others.

I think there should be two threads indeed - but one for seniors and one for juniors..

So as long as it's not Alina it's okay to say it? It's been discussed with pretty much all of those which you mentioned, including Sofia.
And about Alina: Well, there is a reasonable explanation why people think she might retire. It’s something that separates her from the other skaters. She has won every title. And once you‘ve done that, you may need to find a different motivation. Or look at other things life has to offer. Alina will make that decision for herself and will not care about anything we say here anyway. And rightly so. If she wants to continue that‘s great, she‘s young after all, she can do a lot more. But I wouldn‘t blame her if she started to see different things now, other than figure skating. Training and competing at a top level is hard. We don’t know what Alina wants, maybe she doesn‘t know it herself yet. The season has just ended. Let‘s give her some time to think. Anyway, Alina and every other skater for that matter, will only be done once they say so.
This is NOT just about Alina. Have you been in this thread at all this year? Basically every Russian lady was doomed as soon as she put even one foot wrong. Alina, Zhenya, Masha, Liza... all those you just mentioned and a lot more.
