Zhenya has officially WD and is giving interviews on Russia's 1st Channel on her reasons for withdrawing.

I really want to know what she‘s saying...

Poor Zhenya. That she managed to skate such a sp with a damaged boot is a miracle. She's too good for the corrupt Russian federation.

@ fluture seems she said that. I did not watch it myself, but already it was reported on Russian forums
And that the Free program for next season is Alegria, Cirque du Soleil

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Zhenya said she won't be competing this season. We will see her at Test Skate next year.

 

[Fluture]

Her remark about the test skates probably means the fed wanted her to skate and told her no international assignments this season for her if she withdrew. I hate this system.

I don’t know what to say [emoji22] I’m relieved she withdrew but I’m also devastated and I feel so sorry for her. She worked so hard this season... But let’s hope she will come stronger than ever upcoming season I will die because of not seeing her for so long

Omg wait what is happening right now.

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Zhenya:
"I know how much you worry about me. I know that you are upset and disappointed with the situation with the boot. I don’t know how to describe how I feel.
This is an experience that will temper me, I will become stronger. I love you all. and we'll see you again."

Listening to Alegria - it's so beautiful, can't wait - it will be pure magic with Zhenya! :hap85:

It is. But I can‘t believe she‘ll be totally out for this season. Couldn‘t she have done some B competitions?

 

[dunffvanstorn]

Alegria can be a legendary program, but I’m still so sad. This is so so so disappointing. I just wanted her to skate 2 clean programs that she felt satisfied with. I hate rusfed.

Do you really think they would do that?

Yeah - I don't understand this decision. But maybe she just said that to the Russian audience - that they can see her next in Russia
on test skates? At least that's the interpretation I'm hoping is correct...

 

[Fluture]

Do you really think they would do that?

Honestly? Yes.

What?? They can do it? Can a skater really not compete without being assigned to do so? (Is it because of the no more than 3 spots rule?)

Evgenia is my number one... I am always optimistic for her.... But I feel like this really means RusFed is dropping her.... But at the same time we need to remember this happened to Liza in her career too. After winning worlds she struggled and was replaced by juniors (at that time it was Evgenia). Now shes back and has a quad and triple axel. But it is depressing to think about.
