2020-21 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

[macy]

I don't really think the other girls care in the slightest. They have shown with photographic and video evidence that they don't care about the crazy coaching feuds.

the other girls shouldn't have any reason to be upset at Aliona leaving, or Trusova or anyone else. sure they probably missed her friendship, but moving coaches is normal and they all know there is no ill intention in another skater doing what they think is best for themselves. they are there to focus on themselves and their work, i doubt they care about the rest.

There was a headline out Aliona has her triple axle back and she's staying with TT!

What does it mean that she "has her 3A back"? IIRC she was doing them while coached by Plushenko, albeit not consistently enough to put in her competitive programs.

We never saw a good 3A when she was with Plushenko so I would be wary of saying that. Not to mention they were stopping her from training the 3A two/three weeks before the Russian Cup Finals.

I'm going to hold my breath on this too until I see it.

I went back to look for the article a few minutes ago and couldn't find it they've already moved on to other articles. But if I find it again and I'll try to post it but it's hard to do from my phone I could probably do it from a laptop if I can copy and paste the URL.

I figured Aliona would fit right back in at TT she knows all the girls and even if some of them are upset with her for leaving like that. I'm sure they will forgive her and just move on.

We want to see the video of her doing this triple axel. But we will have to wait.

Do you know where you saw it? Like which news outlet? Because if so, then I might be able to find it. I’m pretty good with a computer.

She was about 20% on it at Rostelecom Cup and then got COVID, etc and hasn't even been able to get it back at all since, although I think they stopped practicing it. It was hard enough for her to get her other jump back and consistent. And she was still struggling just making it through a program.

Lol. Yesterday the ISU said any skater who didn't perform at the Gala would be penalized.

silver medalists Sui/Han didn't.. how were they penalized? losing money?

Sui was recovering from an injury. You get an exception for stuff like that.

Sui/Han were injured. That's a valid reason.

She used to have a great 3A Then she did not have a3A. Now reports are she has it back.
If she had a real 3A at PA she would have used it.

Of course being realistic we won't really believe it until we see the video. That should be coming next.

You are good with a computer because you're here at GS.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing whatsoever. I checked almost everything on that website regarding FS. In fact, her name hasn't been in a headline for almost a week. I'm confused now. Others have said that this was also a headline, so I don't doubt that the story came out, but why would they take it down? I'll keep looking on other sources, but there hasn't been the slightest hint of anything.

but that is true for amost every skater... so if they don't want to appear they can easily quit refering to injury

I'm thinking they took it down because TT asked them to. I would think TT would want a video to go along with breaking news about Alionas 3A. But I assure you a d everyone the headline said she had her 3A back and was staying with TT.

I think that the ISU has to see medical documents, proof of injury, etc. and then they have to approve. You don't just get to say you have an injury and withdraw.

Alright. I finally found an article about Aliona's 3A. It was linked on sports.ru, but it is actually from an outlet called Yandex Zen. It pretty much says that people have recently seen Aliona's 3A in training, but there are still no videos of it. It also says that she is staying with Eteri. (I don't know if Eteri/Aliona has confirmed this, but Team Tutberidze recently re-followed Aliona on Instagram, so I think this is most likely true. As for the 3A, until there is photo/video evidence, it is pretty much a rumor.) Here is the article

Thanks for the effort!
