She's going to be fine. Despite a few dejected training photos, she's the one person from that camp who looks like they really enjoyed themselves and actually tried to have a good time at these Olympics. She was watching competitions, swapping pins, having fun with others. I honestly think she had a decent time and from her videos there's a sense that she's consciously (and very sensibly) trying to make the most of her experience.
I vote for Trusova. Scherbakova not receiving any calls when everyone else was slaughtered is likely an artifact of judging in this event.
I saw that too. But it was more of a blimp in otherwise a very long and super uncomfortable footage of her standing there all alone that seemed to never end.
I suspect because of the covid restrictions, there technically wasn't a space to hide and it was just played out in front of everyone.
I don’t. I believe that outstanding performance should win vs a mediocre one and that it shows a bias toward what a woman ‘should be’. I don’t like that. Scherbakova sort of carry the flag of ‘nothing particularly special, but really neat, good enough girl’ and seeing it win time after time is annoying. She is just so… gray.
What was outstanding on Sasha´s skate? That she skated from jump to jump? Even the skaters in the first group made more of an effort to perform a program than Sasha did. You think she was underscored in PCS, I think 65 points in PCS would have been enough. So we can agree to disagree on what is an outstanding performance.
I think it’s just freaking awesome.
That's your bias speaking. Scherbakova's performance wasn't mediocre at all.
I think most of the other skaters conducted themselves with dignity.
In all fairness to Surya, she did later regret her actions saying she was just frustrated. She was welcomed back warmly by most of the skating community at the gala at 94 Worlds. This was the worlds after Tonya/Nancy and Oksana Baiul winning the Olympics, none of whom were present at Worlds. Yuka Sato of Japan was the surprise winner in her home country.
The video was taken down, but it was posted here:
I agree. It's a mixed bag of emotion in a very young person.
I also like that Trusova brings a different note and I admire her fierceness a bit, but that has nothing to do with the quality of skating. And most of her elements lack quality. And btw Kaori isn´t much princess like either.
65? Karen Chen recieved a 65 and is eons ahead of Trusova in PCS. even that would have been a gift.
It is also disgusting to blame people around without solid evidence. Where you there when they doped her? Are we sure it was the team? The doctor? The grandparetns? The dog maybe?
