Huge congrats to both!
I really like Vasilieva, she's really grown on me this season. It is a hard situation for her (and most others too) whether she moves up or not the competition is fierce.

The strongest delegation possible, and they earned it fair and square. Sorry for Tarakanova though, she fought hard as well and is now left without any chance of earning some credits this season.
Good to hear Kanysheva is eager to return. Her rink mates probably have quite some tale to tell her during their first morning stretching session together ;-)
She didn't elaborate on her condition, but the clinic's IG gives you an indication of their specialty: https://www.instagram.com/anestaclinic/ , many of which are inline with sports injuries or growth problems in young persons.
Their palliatric department gave me a scare though, because, yes, even children die from serious illness.

What Brian said (I remember this one) is that during their first meeting, before he became her coach, he liked the fact that she didn't say anything bad for her previous coaches. And he believed she shouldn't because they both acknowledged the great work and their contribution to her success. Brian has been on the other side, so the beginning was civil.
I was talking about Eteri being upset and worried at the Olympics for Zhenya's loss and reaction to that loss. If she was planning to toss her aside, she wouldn't be making the effort to motivate and comfort her in the following weeks in all the interviews.
Anyway, this topic is really old. I am worried and really searching for answers about possible motivation to force fantastic skaters into quitting or retiring and cannot find any.

We cannot, should not, and must not. We can only respect their decisions, which no doubt don't come easy. But like with all good things, a sporting career also comes to an end. When the skater can look back on her career with pride and dignity, it should be the only thing that matters.

No new grenades thrown, the Kremlin said they don't bother, FFKKR has posted no official reprimands, no new scandals raised by certain press ...

What’s up with asking Kremlin about it ??? Lmaooo... russian journalists are so hilarious.
Why has Trump and Boris Johnson still not commented on this issue? And where’s Angela Merkel, Trudeau and Macron with their comments?
This is a worldwide issue, I expect all leaders to respond!

Macron: Which side wears the yellow vests?
Johnson: Britain will pass a comment after Brexit is done.
Trump: I didn't train in Eteri's camp before I won the election.
Merkel: Wir schaffen das.

Urgant's show is on, Navka of course the more experienced in public appearances, Alina a little tense, but acquitting herself well otherwise.
Blind make up challenge, LMAO, and completely in character, Alina did a clean job, completely serious, she probably doesn't yet know 'how to play' to a TV audience.

who is the third girl?
Kanysheva is different in most of the girls in that she's longer and blonder then the others. I'm so sorry she's had a Lost season. I hope this is just an aberration and not the norm with her. She may still be growing in height and Limbs and that may be causing some problems as well.
What a thoughtful and wonderful post. I agree with you no way would EG want to throw Zhenya aside. She was devastated and very angry when Zhenya left her. Those were not the actions of a coach who wanted to get rid of pupils in this case 3vgenia Medvedeva.
Its about who is the most legendary coach
Lmaooo. Did he write this at gunpoint?
Now we definitely know Yagudin got his butt handed to him for liking (then unliking Eteri's post).

It's time for Alexei Yagudin to stand on his own and not under the thumb of Tatiana Tarasova!

He wants to, but he can't. She was making him soup, not just coaching him.
I don't have a clear idea on that but i get the sense that it was mostly fake, just to show some compassion maybe.
If she really wanted Medvedeva to become Olympic Champion, they'd have included more difficult combinations in the program to match Alina's difficulty. Prior to the Olympics we saw Evgenia landing all kinds of difficult combinations, they could have easily replaced her extremely easy 2a-2t-2t for example. In fact as a viewer, i was soo sure they'd have done it, and it shocked me that they didn't even try.
She knew Medvedeva would have lost the gold after she lost at the Europeans, the writing was on the wall, Alina's programs were more difficult, and she came to the Olympics phyisically more preparred.
My theory is that either they weren't sure about Zagitova (who always had the tendency to bomb once in a while even on her junior days) or the fact that Medvedeva was recovering from an injury so they didn't want to risk potentially the silver medal.
Ultimately the goal from Eteri was probably to get Gold and Silver, who gets the gold and who the silver was maybe not as important.
Similar now with 3As: either Kostornaya wins with her superior quality, or Trusova with the quads or Shcherbakova being a bit of both, at the end of the day that is still a medal for Sambo70.
Yeah he returned few years ago, though i'm not quite sure what is his role there.
Are you sure? Cause the more we go on, the more i see the same pattern over and over, you can delete articles but people have their memory, eventually 3As will also have to deal with this, maybe post Olympics 2022.
But things are a lot more uncertain right now due to WADA which could theoretically ban all russian athletes to even compete independently, it's hard to predict things when you may or may not be allowed to compete.
If anybody does want to feel the level of TAT's hate to Eteri, just take a look at how she downvoted 10 y. o. Akatyeva's beatiful performance at Ice Age TV show: https://youtu.be/c7-i7-HN10Q?t=118
