Lena is already losing right now... she's about 2000 points behind Angelina. :cry:

This behaviour is disgusting really. (Not the voting multiple times - the voting against instead of for for such a petty reason (like another poster said, neither of them were at Sochi...))

Actually, being Russian ladies fan and voting for Angelina is completely understandable:
1. You have two beloved daughters and there is only one spot on the team left.
2. You know that if one of them go to the tournament, the other one will have to stay home disappointed and feeling "worse".
3. You pick Angelina to avoid hurting one of your babies. :)

If I were in that situation I would likely just not vote. Besides, that is not what is happening. What is happening is Angelina is receiving a lot of votes that are not votes for her, but are instead votes against the Russian girls.

I was wondering why almost 1/3 of the Russian votes are for Angelina, but I guess that makes sense.

Still, I agree with winky97; I would've refrained from voting rather than voted for someone else!! :yes:

Oh well... :sad21:

On a happier note, check out Lena's awesome custom skates!! :eek: :agree:

I found this on one of the Russian forums, but I'm not sure where the original is--I didn't see it on any of Lena's social media pages or on the Riedell pages.

I guess Lena is still 165cm (or she hasn't bothered to measure her height recently)...

Here we go again with the voting for European ladies.

:sad21: I see the hardcore Korean haters have found a way to mask their IP addresses and vote from other countries--notably Russia. Russia now shows more votes for Kuchvalska, but if you look enlarge the map and look at the individual states (oblasts), you cannot actually find the source of the 90,000+ votes. Sooo upsetting. :mad:

I did what I could--my state now has the most votes in the US! But it feels kinda hopeless.... :drama:

I'm actually stressing more about this vote than Worlds!! :palmf:

Just saying, that the federation is favoring the Bear.

Having commented to support Elena, they deleted my post immediately.

Cheers!

That's foul! Others on there are questioning why they are only supporting the Bear too. Maybe they feel she needs it more being so far behind in third place. Not cool though! They should push all of their skaters or stay out of it.

I totally agree! :yes:

Looks like the Japanese voters have mobilized again! :hap57: But it will surely change again when it's night in Japan...
Oh this is so stressful!! :drama: I won't be able to vote nearly as much when I'm at Worlds next week, so I'll have to leave it to the other Lena fans! :bow:

Yeah I will be at Worlds too. I think I will be able to get more voting in then because I won't have my job interfering. I suspect this will be settled by South Korea and Japan. Japan could not save Rika so maybe they feel they can save Lena with help from others. Will be glad when this is over.

That is exactly what I feel is happening. At first the Japanese vote was split between Lena and Zhenya, but now they're going all for Lena...

Me too, I'll be glad when it's over!! :drama:

Btw, can anyone tell me why this cup seems to be so important for the guys? They all are 'campaigning' for this cup and I didnt even hear of it before.
