WTT counts.I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but this is Elizaveta's highest combined score EVER? Aside from WTT which doesn't count. You wouldn't be able to tell from her expressions. But congratulations.

I personally have no doubt Kamila is the most popular junior, and Alina's popularity remains out of reach for any other girl.Number of views has literally nothing to do with how popular someone is...
May seem a paradox, but performing in skating related show helpedher image immensely.
May be wrong of course, but I think @JazzUp is right here

As I wrote earlier, the "ultimatum" part is my personal take on what Yermolina said - "change the coaching approach or else".
WTT counts for PB! http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs_pb_00010705.htm

I always hate that, but I'm not always reading it or wanting to reply.
with a cold mind I could overlook as it was just an opinion expressed in good faith in a place that exists just to do that.
So.. apologies for my tone @JazzUp

It's just an article describing the competition as it's the Russian Grand Prix. Nothing was said that Aliona and Sasha don't already know either. The only reason it is getting so much attention is because of the annoying clickbait of the original poster.

So actually is it just an article or an official statement by RusFed cause I am just getting confused? Would you please explain?

I mean in my opinion, yes it's delivered by the RusFed press secretary, but who else would be in charge of writing an article on the GP event which is the Russian GP. If you just look at the article with photos of the skaters, quotations of comments by the skaters and the way it lists scores of the top 7 skaters it is no where close to a serious press release announced by RusFed saying Aliona and Sasha need to fix up.

I don't think Euros and Worlds are going to be cancelled... at most they're probably going to be without an audience or something like that, but cancelling both or cancelling Worlds for a second time is unlikely when there are already some vaccines out there.
And on what basis can we assume that all the current problems of the top skaters will be magically solved by next season?
It looks like an article that GS might publish. The poster put their opinion on it in their post. That's all. It's not an official, grim ultimatum if you don't believe it is.

So just much ado about nothing... Thank you so much for this information, hopefully sobering up the heated discussion of an "ultimatum" vs "non-ultimatum" ...

Good news for me since it means Zhenya's maximum is 240+, but I still don't believe it.
I guess I should.
That would be her historical PB. They canned those when they switched to +5. Currently, it's 225.76.Good news for me since it means Zhenya's maximum is 240+, but I still don't believe it.

Historical still counts though. Years worth of work and effort don't just disappear.
I didn't say they don't count. Just that that's specifically a "Historical Personal Best" instead of "Personal Best". So the ISU will always measure a new PB with the one achieved under +5, not +3.
Yes it does mean she achieved that score. The ISU distinguishes them, while keeping a record of both.

It's one think to preface an article with an opinion, but a whole different ballgame when you purposely misconstrue and fabricate.
That's exactly what it is. I publish what I see and what I hear in a press conference or what skaters, coaches, etc. actually say. I don't put a biased or tabloid preface to it. That's unprofessional.
However, the poster made it appear that somone in the Russian Fed said that "a newbie coach" was given an "ultimatum", when in fact, that was not the case.
Yes it was indeed.So just much ado about nothing... Thank you so much for this information, hopefully sobering up the heated discussion of an "ultimatum" vs "non-ultimatum" ...

First liking my comment and then unliking it.
I liked your comment when I saw it just said "historical still counts though". When I saw the other part, I didn't agree with it, so I removed it and added another reply to you.First liking my comment and then unliking it.
Is there anything else you'd like to
at? 
EDIT: BTW, for someone who was so offended over me "policing" your comments at some point, maybe you can have a tiny bit of charity of thought. I am usually on my phone, and sometimes like the wrong post and then go back to cancel. Just FYI, in case it ever happens to you. Though, I can assure you, it won't anymore.
