If it's Med's mother, then it's absolutely appalling that the video was uploaded for the world to see. Imagine the humiliation Med must have felt. If it isn't Med's mother, it's still pretty shocking behaviour on the part of the kid who recorded the video (Eteri's daughter isn't it?). It's obviously a conversation that is taking place in a private setting, to record that and put it online is incredibly rude.

I don't speak Russian. What did the video say, if I may ask?

Eteri's daughter Diana has hearing problem from her childhood. She was probably live in chat and didn't hear what they were talking about. Someone else has posted it online.

They discussed their victories and other fs staff. Drunken women (Marina) used filthy language. Eteri was like we have another competitions in 2 weeks, lets focus on it.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. Something is being cooked. Stasya "The Olympian" Konstantinova. :yay:

Nah, she didnt move to seniors this season, so no Olympic games.
Basically, without doing senior GP and winning something there, and ideally going to the final, i´m pretty sure no Olympic chance. Whatever happens at nationals will be scored according to how well each skater does internationally.

Has Mikhailova competed this season so far? Do we know anything about her current shape?

Has Radionova changed her FS music? Because I really didn't like her program at the Nepella challenger cup. I'm just not feeling Radionova at all this season.

I think she's very talented, but for me she has maybe the worst choreography and music choices of any Russian lady. Not only this year, but several years.

I agree. They were almost good in 13-14, not that bad in 14-15 and then just became absolute trainwrecks. She has the worst music choices I think I've encountered.

The sport would be so much better if they again started to protect the skaters from themselves and banned sung music. It's like 95:5 in favor of miss vs hit. Though, unfortunately, that'd remove the 5% that I really do enjoy. Perhaps there should be a "music choice" PCS category to punish these so that the skaters would pick something bearable to listen to. It's a sad state when you actually have to watch some programs muted.

There are a lot of talks about how balletic Russian ladies and other ladies are/aren't
This is new Bolshoi cinema trailer just to remind people about how balletic arms look like

Oh, thank you! So she is indeed keeping her ABBA FS :no: She really looks painfully slow here, her SS score should be disastrous...

Well, this is a bit of your personal taste. For example imho, Lena's program until last year were great, things derailed last year, specially in the SP, because its when she stopped looking like that charming Lena we always knew and loved and lost connection with audience.

Same for sung music - maybe you dont like 95% of it, while other people like 95% of it. Just saying.
Folks, please stop projecting your personal tastes such as "no music with lyrics", "they should ban pop music from FS" and so on. If we ban everything that some fan doesnt like, skaters will have to skate without music.

Apparently Evgenia fell in practice. I’m shocked.
Nothing much about Elena, but I heard she’s doing a 3sal-3toe.
Is there practice video up yet?

Spirals for Miles · Oct 19, 2017

How many times did Zhenya fall? If it's just once, then I'm not TOO concerned....
Dear Zhenya, you are a goddess
