2020-21 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

[silveruskate]

Either Aliona's family will pay it or Rusfed if they want her back at Sambo and favour her. If they could afford $500,000, Aliona wouldn't be commuting 5 hours round trip to Sambo. And there were reports Sambo wouldn't take her if she still had financial issues, so they must be resolved already.

Moving onto Shcherbakova, do we think she's going to try 3 quads? How was her status at the team competition?

They won't pay for her. It's not their problem and she's not the only one Russian figure skater

At the Channel 1 cup she still seemed a bit gassed to me after the FS. I think if she doesn't go for 3 quads she will at least change 1 of the solo quads to a combination.

Yep it would set an incredibly bad precedent.

 

[vorravorra]

My assumption based on what's been said is Yana Plushenko handles the legal aspects of the academy

She is Rudkovskaya not Plushenko.

 

[Scott512]

Her or her mother it’s the same. Her family has a debt but maybe they could handle it or they found a solution.

The solution is they arent going to pay the money.. The said can't afford to just pay out over a 1/2 a million dollars to someone who runs a private academy. I think they swept it under the rug.

 

[Artemisa]

Yana putting smth under the rug?

well.. if russian federation intervene ... or promise something... because I think russfed had her finger in the transfer ... they won't loose aliona .. we can say that they have a lot of skaters ( and good ones) but international judges love aliona and you never know and will happen in a year to everyone

 

[Lana05]

And please, stop saying it's Aliona's (or her mom's) fault.
There are many popular stars that gad expensive lawers signing contrcts with big companies and left with troubles after.
Yana's whole wealth is made on such contracts as producer. She's a prof here.

 

[icybear]

The irony of Alena having to go back to skating Daniil G "Lovely " program because the lyrics are "Thought I found a way, out. But you never go away. So I guess I gotta stay now." Guess Eteri knew she was going to win all along before she even moved to Plushenko.

It's possible the federation just swept this whole thing under the rug. So Yana is out in the cold.

RusFed has nothing to do with that. Stop hoping for it to help. It will be court.
It was fully Aliona's wish to go to AoP and then going back.
RusFed didn't interference

It's impossible that Sambo-70 accepted her back if this is the case.

 

[Lana05]

Nope. If there isn't something in a contract that prevents her to train somewhere else if she leaves
It's that she MUST pay if she leaves but probably doesn't prevent to train in another club.

Sambo didn’t sign anything. It’s Alena and her family’s problem.

I think Eteri wanted to be sure her transfer would not affect Sambo before taking her.

No. Not for legal reasons, but there is no chance Sambo-70 allows a skater back that will have to battle court cases during Olympic season. Impossible.

Her mothers' debts aren't their problems

It's an unnecessary distraction in my opinion, but agree to disagree.

Liza it seems is doing what we've been asking! Practicing 2A-eu-3S, 3Lz-3T and a 3A from transition. Her BV will be higher than what Aliona did last year if she goes for it.

3A-2T
3A
3Lz-3T
3F
2A-eu-3S
3Lz
3Lo

 

[Shayuki]

Could it be that she's finally getting rid of the +2A+SEQ point sink?

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

Everybody seems to hold as a given a wild rumour from TSL!
There's no way Angels of Plushenko's bills can be so high, its in Russia not in the US, even including the two programs by Shae-Lynn Bourne. The only reason such an amount may be demanded, would be that the two little sponsorship contract they got her were worth a million dollars, and I don't believe it.

It might be becuase of the house. It couldn’t have been cheap to build. That’s the only legitimate reason.....
