2022 Olympics: Women's Free Skate

[Placebo11]

Anna is a true champion with class, style and grace.

 

[kan01]

Well, she left Eteri group and came back, so it was her decision to be in that camp...

Sure, blame the child. Despicable.

 

[Mista Ekko]

Well it wasn't pretty and a bit out of control, but maybe let's give Sasha the benefit of the doubt.
During the ceremony she was respectful and calm, and in the past we've had
similar (though less explosive) reactions but they were mostly briefly caught backstage.

 

[cathlen]

She was hounded into it and she did it to go to this Olympic. So, yeah, she should have stayed with Plyushenko… and then she would have been under even heavier scrutiny and bashing. It’s hard to be different from everyone else.

She needs sport psychologist. But outside of Eteri group. If she take it that bad and has not the best attitude, the sport will destroy her.

 

[ptvvibezz]

All I can say is there is way more going on with her and her teammates that explains Sasha's behavior

 

[techgirl]

Everyone has a gold medal and I don't

 

[Ziotic]

I mean Sasha left Eteri for a reason, and in hind sight she was right. She was never favoured. It was clear she was forced back to Eteri if she wanted on the Oly team.

 

[vorravorra]

Why? I honestly did not understand. She had a crappy SP where she was overscored and errors in the LP. And empty program

She must have believed that if she'd land five quads that would be enough. She'd been obsessed with five quads for years.

LMAO. WHo is everyone? Because so far only Anna won. Pairs are yet to come. Does she really think ROC will get Team Event gold?....

Anna has the individual, Kamila has the team (unless she's disqualified later).

Yeah…I’ll bet she’s out the door and back to Plushenko as soon as the season’s over. If she even wants to continue at this point

I'm sure it will blow over but I think many of us are just baffled and shocked. It's been a crazy fortnight and then...... this!!! I keep expecting drama but the drama is always crazier than what I predict!!! And I predict drama!!!

May I start with Nastya was fabulous again and underscored again? Just kidding.

It was incredible skating probably the best ever for ladies Olympics end I feel absolutely good because of KV and I hope she can be saved a career can be saved and she can come back at some point and be great again. I am also gutted for Sasha she was Wonder Woman Landing five quads I'm sure she feels she should have won Olympic gold. I do not know how EG keeps it all together in the next year or two with these girls.

Anna was brilliant technically and her artistry is second to none. Congratulations to the Olympic champion!.

Kaori was also brilliant she is so fast and Powerful it's just unbelievable and for her to make the podium among all the ultra jump girls is a massive achievement. And I'm glad they had a ceremony.

Now it's on to trying to save Kamila's career and somehow hope she recovers from all the trauma and drama.

 

[lariko]

Here is the glimpse of Sasha's meltdown where she says something like this: "never in life, never in life, i hate this sport, I hate it, i hate it, i hate it".
And the woman comforting Kamila is saying: "it's not your loss - (several times). you will skate and you will show what you can do. I don't say this just like that, do you understand it? hang it there. Let it be the worst thing that every happens in your life"

What she is actually saying is that she will never step on the ice again, that it’s impossible, it can’t be done like that.

Basically, we can add one more skater to Tutberidze’s kill count. And the most talented of them all.

 

[satine]

I don't understand giving teenagers endless praise for achievements one minute, but relinquishing them of all responsibility the next. Which is it?

These Olympic Games have been provided endless examples of why the minimum age needs raised for seniors.

 

[labgoat]

Anna was on fire delivering two quads and racking up enough points in her M & M program packed full of transitions, fire and intensity. Not the most polished, but the best iron will.
Her scores in the SP may put her on top.

 

[cathlen]

Sure, blame the child. Despicable.

She's 17. And I was replying to comments about Eteri camp. The fact is she chose to come back to Eteri camp. And she had other options. She still has. Who said she won't be qualifying for next Olympics? I'm not happy seeing her in this state, but she went back to Eteri fully knowing how it looks in her camp. It is different than going there for the first time. I wish Sasha maybe consult with sports psychologist. SOmeone outside Eteri group, because the situation is taking toll on her for sure.

 

[Corwin]

The most frustrating thing about the Camilla story is that when her innocence will be proven, none of the ********* who set up this whole circus will even apologize to her. And she was totally destroyed, which is why she lost her medal. I feel sorry for the girl, but I hope that she will cope and show herself.

 

[Amei]

Russian ladies always manage to bring the drama.

 

[3dsushi]

I mean who wouldn’t? This very scripted from the Russians since the allegations started.

 

[Greengemmonster]

I wonder if Eteri should be afraid of Sasha now that she's gone full nuclear......

 

[Paulipau]

I guess that was one not gold medal to many, she did all the other ceremonies with a smile on her face but everybody has a breaking point.
