2022 Olympics: Women's Free Skate

Alexandra told Eteri "You knew everything. I hate all of you!"

 

[Arigato]

Trusova should quit skating and go into acting. That was some performance!

If Hollywood needs someone to jump up and down on a trampoline with a bunch of spotted dogs, she's got my vote.

1993 was the year Bonaly had more of a case to be salty about it.

She has since realized and acknowledged the poor form for doing that.

Trusova is a brat for the meltdown, but I get where she's coming from, always coming just short. You would think getting 251 points would be enough. She said herself, I thought if I did the quads, I will win. Someone must have ingrained that attitude in her (not saying it's Plushenko... but not saying it isn't!).

plushenko was actually concentrating on her getting better pcs wise while she was with him, not only were her jumps better but she actually began to try and interpret and connect to the music. it definitely would not be him who ingrained that into sahsa . if you want to know it you just uave to look at her trainer who ingrained into the girls that nothing but good is worthy of something ,that everything else is nothing to be proud of

I wonder if any of the 3 Russian girls will show up at worlds after all this

Trusova would win over all of them in a juniors. I'm sure she got use to that but I knew things would switch once seniors start if her "artistry" didn't improve

i. apologize in advance if this rant gets a bit long and i really have to hold myself back because if i write how i would like to write i would get a lot of warnings for language in here .
. so i watched the fs and i am shocked, sad, more than just angry . i am disgusted, . for the people in here or on one of the other threads, that for example said that the trouble aroudn kamila isnt going to faze her because she is that strong mentally , for those who always just said oh they are mentally so strong and thats just how Russian mentally is! take a good look or mabye look a thousand times at those girls /teenagers¡ take a good look at kamila breaking down and istead of getting support has to listen to eteri almost blaming her ehy she didnt fight through , why she gave up . oh i dont knwo mabye becaause this is a 15 year old girl who in the last week has been through so much , eithout anyone beeing really there for her, and it was devastating to see the emotionless look on her face. ehy was danny g smiling ehile he held a crying kamila? take a look at sasha , her crying, take a look at anna who looked like the saddest Olympic gold winner i have ever seen. . no they are not always strong mentally they are humans, they are children/teenagers .. for the the ones who decided to let kamila skate because they feared the damage it could do. letting Kamila skate was what damaged here more than anything . and looking at their faces at everything i just hope to everything that it wasnt the last time we have seen them in competitve ice. this is why the age needs to be raised. they are not supernaturlas they are humans and as young teenagers they have their breaking points and i hope to everything there is that non of them have reached that point right now. enough is enough . anna said she feels emotional empty! ahen she won the olympics. that is what is done to those girls! so open your eyes and stop praising the adults around them. sasha was devastated also because all of them get told that only gold is worth it , like zhenya told in an interview in Canada she learned that gold is not everything, and that its ok to not alwasy be first. thats how the system they train and grow up in damages them.for kamila i just hope that when she is home she gets psychological help because this event probably has traumatised her in ways that shoudl not have happened., i hope to everything that she has a suuport system to fall back on . and for the other two i hope the same because wacthing this today i never ever wish to see something like that again. so while i sadly dont have much hope i still hope that soemthing changes , that it isnt just forgotten, that the adults around kamila are going to be looked into.

Nobody is happy.

I'm not either. This was truly the worst Olympics for me. So many of my favorites didn't even make it here (Rika, Liza, Alena), the doping scandal was a huge distraction, and the one American woman who won a medal was the least deserving of the three by a wide margin.

Anna is right about emptiness...That's how I feel about this Olympics...this competition.

I agree. I didn't even have a hand in this game because Alena and Rika were my favs but I just never expected it would be like this

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Nothing new here, he’s just saying he was right to predict in 2010 Vancouver that future in women’s will be quads etc good wishes congrats and that Sasha and Kami will skate at another Olympics

Well, he is known for his consistency.

Maybe if she ever steps on the ice again, she'll consider improving her artistry more? Although it's her technical that got her close to the gold, if we're being honest. Judges were going to give her huge PCS regardless as we saw in the SP.

She is adamant that if she hits her tech content, she's entitled to a win.

Alexandra told Eteri "You knew everything. I hate all of you!"

There are so many things this could mean. But all tea, going back to Eteri was what set up for a shot at Olympic gold because in the Angels camp she definitely wasn't doing what she needed to get the results/scores she was capable of.

I am so glad somebody enjoyed their Olympic experience other than Kaori:

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

I just notice Anna was 2nd and 2nd, and 1st overall....

Is Anna the first women's gold medalist to win without winning either segment?

 

[Horsefeathers]

The powers that be, regardless of nation, dropped the ball on this Olympics. The IOC and the ISU and other parties only have themselves to blame.

 

[whatif]

I wonder if any of the 3 Russian girls will show up at worlds after all this

Maybe they should seat out Valieva and Sherbakova and send Trusova, Tuktamysheva, and Usacheva? Trusova should get her gold medal she was crying about today.

 

[Near]

This is, by far, the most depressing sporting event I've ever witnessed that didn't involve someone getting grievously injured. I'm just relieved it's over.

Shcherbakova is a worthy and uncontroversial winner, so at least we won't have even more drama piled onto this mess of a competition.

I hope Anna does, and that she wins, and she gets to celebrate that win like she should've celebrated today.

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

Is Anna the first women's gold medalist to win without winning either segment?

I think so. It's already exceedingly rare to win without winning the LP. Witt did that in 1988, and I suppose Alina did by being in a tie with Evgenia in the LP last Olympics.

Using my Johnny voice: "All I can say about this competition is that this was the women's event at the 2022 Olympics"
