So Nika had the dubious honour of competing in the Channel One Cup.
I say dubious because the jumping contest consisted of about 8 jumps. Like 5 minutes of skating.
The Channel One Cup is taking place in Sarnask, a little over 650km from Moscow.
Nika went more than 1300km for 8 jumps.
She wasn't even invited to stay with Team Blue!
I'm so angry for her. What the Hell was the point of that?! She's had an absolute terrible season with a serious injury and unfortunate performances at Junior Nats. And the RusFed in all their wisdom thought it was appropriate, thought they were doing her a FAVOUR by letting her compete in the jumping competition?!
She didn't even get any money for her troubles! She could have re-injured herself!
And unless she managed to fly there she spent 18 hours in a train or on the road to do all that. She's 13 years old!
I. Am. Pissed.
