How influential is that Rudkovskaya woman, if one the greatest coaches in Russia, 80yo Elena Tchaikovskaia stops and approaches her with cordial embrace? :eek:

That's some paparazzi worthy footage there, slightly creepy.

Perhaps Elena T really enjoys Plushy and Yana's end of year ice shows (you gotta admit they're pretty boss)? Maybe she hugs everyone she meets? :laugh:
 
Plushenko's look screams "i will crush you. I swear i will crush you":laugh:
I don't know why "Hot Sergei" cheekbones are so appreciated, they made him look scary imo. With those severe eyebrows and total look black he looks like Dracula.

Speaking about hot Sergei, Daniil could have choreographed Kostornaya and Trusova's programs. Even the new style for Trusova is very similar to the EX that was rumored to be her new SP. Seems like in Sambo they were already planning something more feminine for the new season.
Glad that Shae is doing choreo for Kostornaya. Should be better than what she has in SP. The music isn't a warhorse i bet.
 
its probably an unpopular opinion but:

I HATE Billie Eilish music with the passion of a trillion burning suns so i want to know why a skater who has the potential to be artistically one of the best in history is skating to this crap? No adult is willing to say "girl I know you like her music but for a competitive program no way, save it for the exhibition." I'm totally biased since I hate the music but it seriously feels like taking all Alena's artistic potential and putting it in the trash bin.

This girl was able to sold twilight to a buch of old judges that probably considered the saga just stupid teen books/film
(BTW the film are nothing special, but the books have some magic even being the 10000th adaptation of Romeo and Juliet with happy ending)

She can skate to Billie Eilish and make it work, and she's probably the only one right now.
Sasha is the daring jumper and everybody (me in first line) loves her for that, but Aliona likes to navigate uncharted water her own way too.

Because Alena wants to have input in her programs and she's said as much. She clearly choses these programs, Twilight, etc. She even said she enjoyed her Billie Eilish program that Daniil choreographed for her, and she stuck with the artist when she switched coaches. She has also said in interviews in the past that she doesn't like slow lyrical pieces. So whoever coaches her can either give her something she enjoys which is clearly Billie Eilish this season, or they can force her to take music that she doesn't like. You can't have it both ways.
 
I liked all the girls, but Sasha moved me to tears. I really liked the pair that danced on the Esmeralda version. I'd like Aliona to dance on this one. Music is very important in skating.
 
^ Twilight at least had a tune though... I don't know, maybe I'll remember the choreo when the program is finished, but probably not the music. Just for the record, Kostornaia's FP last year was the first time I heard Twilight, and this is the first time I hear Eilish.

Twilight soundtracks are actually pretty good in general. Her music cut included Muse.

Jesus! Chaykovskaya was/is one of the greatest fans of Plushenko among the Russian experts . Always supported him in every decision in his whole career.. Probably they have already met.. Look at this video worth to watch. Very amusing.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfuONWyf_Kw

Who is the woman in the yellow coat who's ghosting Aliona?

I see 3 girls who like to be close to ice in a full rink after a long time, and some stupid a**h*** who don't let them.

The way of that woman is very rude toward Aliona but to anybody else in general.
If they can't be there you should be gentle, explaing the reason and ask to please free the area.
It's an order but is told in a non conflictual way

It woul be good common sense to have the "staff" to alway wear mask.
Skater are tested and protected, whe know nothing about this people: they could have been at a crowded party two days ago.
Also skaters and coaches should wear mask in a common and crowded area (caution never hurts)
