Well let's hope we have consistent competitions this season I expect that to happen but we don't know ways coronavirus what will happen.
Exactly. He also said it was her CONDITION AND FORM at that time, which made her not being able to perform the complete choreography. It's getting so tiring that some people are always finding negativity, where there is absolutely none. If you have ear for what he said, his words were direct but absolutely honest and spot on, so they were exactly the opposite what some people want to make of them. He wants Aliona to do her best, he wants to encourage her to be able to bring out the best in her. I know it's the zeitgeist nowadays (especially in the western culture) to be overprotective and oversensitive about almost everything and everbody and always be politically correct, but thank God, there are still places in the world where people can say directly what they think and call the things what they are without being stigmatized as a bad person.
Yes it is close ... maybe Eteri wants to tire her a little bit for her understand what means to jump 5 quads in a program..
Do we know why? Is it a good change?
There is no information yet.
Hope you are right. And I don’t believe Eteri would sabotage Sasha but 3 back to back to back weeks of across the world competitions is crazy to say the least. It may actually cause her fail to achieve her goal of landing 5 quads in a competition. Then in 3 weeks she’ll have to fly across the world again to complete in Skate America.Yes it is close ... maybe Eteri wants to tire her a little bit for her understand what means to jump 5 quads in a program..
Relax xD
Yeah but that's not limited to Sasha.
Honestly, Eteri's girls have said that competition is less work than their normal practice. Remember, they do mini competitions at the rink themselves all the time. For competitions, they actually do less runthroughs.
Liza did something super similar the year she won Worlds.
You don't need to feel bad for Trusova because Team Tutberidze knows very well how to maximize everyone's scoring potential. Trusova is not an artistic skater and she will never be. You can't turn a fruit into a vegetable. If she wants to make the team and win the Olympics, she needs to focus on what she does best: jumps! If you give her programs with beautiful choreo, she is likely to reduce the number of quads or she will make more mistakes.
I don't think my post indicates that I'm not relaxed. I just wanted to speak my mind, 'cause whatever you say, the phenomenon is there and it gets in the way of sensible talk and discussing problems, issues or simply anything else these days. And if you don't feel the cap fits you, why are you wearing it then? I didn't name any posters in particular, I said "some people", so I think maybe you should relax...
This sounds like an oversimplification. Aliona may have a mental block from quads, but why? Maybe because her air position is too wild- not tight enough, it takes her a while to get into her air position, and she’s a slower rotator. All of these things would cause a “mental” block, because it feels like your body simply cannot do it, but it’s also a technical issue. Daniil should be the first person to know that big jumps do not equal quads.
Aliona explains in an interview what exactly he meant when he said it and talks about these mental blocks:

Good interview. Thanks for the link. I still think there’s a link between this “mental” block and the technique, though. If she doesn’t “feel” the rink, it probably goes back to her not feeling like she’s able to snap into rotation quick enough, and feeling like she may get injured by not completing the rotation (and she’s likely right to feel like this). With her jump technique, I think this is a completely valid “mental” block, especially because in my hypothesis it’s not only mental, but goes back to her fundamentals. It must be frustrating for her to not be able to do the jumps even when she feels slightly off, but considering how huge her jumps can be and the mechanics of how she does them, I think she’s completely right to be cautious.Aliona explains in an interview what exact he meant when he said this and talks about these mental blocks:
she says sometimes she’s doesn’t “feel” the rink, the turns feel sluggish and that’s when she doesn’t want to try the jumps, because she feels like she’ll get injured if she does.
