Will any Russian skaters be part of the All that Skate tour this season?

I'm wondering if any Russian skaters will be part of the ATS tour in Korea this year. While I think it's unfair to paint an entire country's skating community with a big fat scarlet letter, let's face it...Russia is not a country that inspires much in the way of fond feelings in Korea after the debacle that was Sochi. What would happen if Adelina showed up on the ATS roster? :laugh:

Sam-Skwantch · Apr 11, 2014

It should only be the judges that wouldn't be welcome there. Seriously! Ask yourself what Yuna would do and I would imagine you could figure it out on your own. This thread is inviting more unnecassary hostility. How many more bash threads do we need here?

While I don't think Adelina would get a contract with ATS anytime soon, I think Russian skaters in general have skated well on her tour. V/T have gone more than once in the last few years, and she's invited Ilia Kulik, Alexei Yagudin, Totmianina / Marinin and Katya Gordeeva in the past. Judging from the YouTube clips they have been very well received. I think Yuna generally invites past champions and proven showstoppers who can contribute to the show as a whole and not as an excuse to pacify her ego. I wouldn't expect her as a businesswoman to hold anything against the country as a whole when they've always performed well on her tour and she's always been supportive of them.

Volosozhar and Trankov have been confirmed.
No word on anyone else, though.

And Adelina would probably get harassed on and off the ice. No clue on what may happen in the future with her and touring.

And yet you're in practically every Yuna thread on this forum. Don't you have some delusional Gracie Gold related things to be spewing?

Aliona is skating with Robin at the show even after announcing partner change?o-o

I just went to http://m.allthatskate.com/skaters/all.htm and copied.

sunnystars · Apr 11, 2014

^ That's actually the cast for last year's shows. Anyway, I think she's still skating with Robin for the shows.

Oh! Another thread about Korea vs Russia. :popcorn:

This forum was really lacking on this subject.

I would understand of someone from Israel didn't want to meet someone from Germany 60 years ago. I would understand when a black man woudn't want to go to the south of USA 50 years ago. Or some people in the communist Russia....

But that someone from Korea would not see any figure skater from Russia because of Sochi ....

Some people might need to gain some perspective about what is important in life.

This list is probably right:
Yuna Kim
Shae-Lynn Bourne
Soyoun Park
Haejin Kim
Alexei Yagudin
Stephane Lambiel
Denis Ten
Han Yan
Jinseo Kim
Tatiana Volosozhar-Maxim Trankov
Aliona Savchenko-Robin Szolkowy

Which shows Yuna has nothing against Russian skaters, and neither should anyone. Anyway, looking forward to the show

that's the correct list... and add rebecca kim/kirill minov to the list.. there are four russians in all that skate for the upcoming ice show in may..yagudin, trankov and volosozhar and technically kirill minov is also russian though he's representing korea now..

yuna never held any grudge with anyone.. i still remember during the whole orser fiasco.. yuna still invited many canadians in her show every year..

so this thread is ridiculous..

GGoldberg · Apr 11, 2014

So excited to see what sort of exhibition Tatiana and Max can come up with for this show.

I think historically there has been somewhat of a rivalry between the "All That…" shows organized by Yuna's own management company, and the shows managed by IMG, which of course have been anchored by the "Star On Ice" franchise. Russian skaters do not seem to be predominantly managed by either agency (unlike for instance many of the North American or Japanese skaters) so I would think this allows them considerable flexibility from a management conflict standpoint. Hope to se an amazing cast for every show. Can only be good for the sport to have better product out there worldwide.

In spite of the Yu-Na fiasco in Canada I don´t think it was surprising that she invited Canadian skaters to her show. Or is one supposed to dislike everyone in a country because of having a conflict with one person from that country?

But, still I don´t see any Russian baby skaters appearing in her show this year... Yagudin is a male skater and V/T a pair....
