Well, Eugenia did it 2 times in the official competition (euro and rusnat in 2017 I think) - added 3rd triple to the combo.
I would not call her 'unintelligent'.
That is not an invalid element. I wouldn't call her unintelligent either. Kosternaia would only be if she did the triple axel twice in the short
 
No doubt.

Have we bickered about what shade color someone‘s costume is yet? Haha

Nothing stirs passions like the Russian ladies. On and off the ice.

I don't remember if it was in this thread or the thread for the Russian Cup Final but there was chatter of how Kostornaia's new SP dress was quite similar to Shcherbakova's with doing the fade from darker blue on the torso/shoulders to light blue at the gloves.
 
Well, here is the next talking point of the day. Odds are, these types of accusations will come fast and furiously before The Games.

 
Russian media are actually being too kind, tickling his vanity by calling him a "journalist" :)
It’s sad that in the US, the “news” outlets for this sport are part time bloggers and part time podcasters. Someone like me that is still learning the new era would like to have a few good news sources besides Russian ones which have to go through a translator

There is nobody even half competent, save for the NBC Sports Olympic and figure skating section.

And IFS Magazine has good stories but that only comes out 6 times a year and their coverage of the events is poor. Most of the time it’s just a rehash of the protocols.

While it's nice that mainstream publications cover figure skating in Russia, their model is now clickbait where they look for some controversy and get everybody and their mother and dog and anyone who just likes to hear the sound of their own voice to comment on it. Sometimes the sidebars of these news sites it's 7-8 different people commenting on the same thing.

And this is not an accident... journalists want people to keep clicking and the skaters, coaches, federation, et al want to keep their fans emotionally invested. In a way they're trying to make up for that fact that figure skating in comparison to other sports has a rather boring schedule and organization.
 

So what's up with this article about Sasha's possible return to Eteri according to Laishev? Is this April fools joke, or.....(TASS is a reputable source, isn't it?)
TASS is a reputable source, Laishev isn‘t.

That guy...talks a lot. I would wait for more information, if there even is any.

Sasha said she isn’t going back to Eteri at the World Championships. Laishev has been saying she might for some time now. I don’t think she’s going anywhere.
 
Update on the Trusova situation: Laishev is saying Trusova promised to come back and he’s sure that she will, Plushenko is being cryptic and saying he will give more information later. Tarasova is saying not to believe Laishev, and Yana is point-blank saying it’s an April Fools joke, and that is ridiculous and not true. Trusova said at the World Championships that she’s staying with Plushenko, but we haven’t heard anything from here as of today. Here is the sports.ru page since the info comes from like 10 different articles

I think it’s false, but who knows..
 
Gorshkov yet again says he knows nothing. Ah, at least there are things that never change.

Seriously though, why do journalists even bother calling him?😂 I think they probably all know by now that Gorshkov‘s word bank only consist of phrases „I don’t know“, „I have no Information“, „No one told me anything“
