I’m glad the girls themselves are finally speaking out about not liking the nicknames. Its disrespectful towards the skaters to not see them as individuals but only part of Team Eteri. Skating is about the skaters, not the coach or team.
It was never meant to be disrespectful and it's not. Of course they are individuals but some people think of them as a unit because they are so great so young and on the same team. Saucy got tired of that and bolted. It is what it is but no one was insulting them or decorating them in anyway by referring to them as 3A. There is a good chance we will never say three such skaters again at the same time in the same group with the same coach as they had it.
