Agreed on the 3S+3Lo. But I don’t really think she could get a rotated +2Lo off of her 2A+2T.
EDIT: Actually, no, I still think 3Lo+3Lo would be the best thing for her to learn, instead. Short Program.

This is what confuses me. Just the utter lack of flow she has out of a few jumps. Maybe go for a 2A-2Lo-2Lo? Her edge jumps are her strength.
ETA: But he 3S has a lot of flow out of it, and is her better jump. And it's very hard to do the 3Lo-3Lo, isn't it?

But the 2A is not her strength. I think she should really drop it (edit: drop it in combination). I would give her something like 3Lo+3Lo, 3F+3T, 3S+2Lo+2Lo (/3S+2T+2T).
If she must do a 2A combination, I think 2A+3T would be the best, move the 3-jump to her flip or salchow.
I think the 3Lo is a very good jump for her. And it is hard, but we’ve seen from the Olympics that her biggest weakness is the lack of base value in her Short Program. A 3S+3Lo would net virtually the same base value as she has now in the SP, but if she could do a solid 3Lo+3Lo it would gain her some sorely-needed technical points. Of course the best thing to do would be to fix her 3Lz, but...

I know 2A isn't her strength... But I mean what else even? She'd still need 7 passes in the LP.

If we keep it similar to her current layout, with her usual spins and steps and with the 3Lo+3Lo:
3F+3T
3Lz
————
3S+2Lo+2Lo
3Lo+3Lo
3F
2A

Her BV would be 63.98 (well, under current values.) +1.65 and that would’ve won her the Olympics. Combined with the 3Lo+3Lo in the SP (33.98; +.88) and she gets a boost of 2.53 points.
EDIT: 64.09, actually. (I only gave her 4.3 for the 3S.)

There’s no rule that Evgenia HAS to do a 2A combo. Idk why she doesn’t do both 2A by themselves.

Because she isn't consistent with -3Lo combos? Just a guess.

How is Medvedeva's health? Is her foot healed?
Does Zhenya need a change? Yes!. If Zhenya did not break her foot she would not have lost her momentum and some confidence which opened the door for Alinas rise to the top. If Zhenya did not break her foot she might very well have been olympic champion and unbeaten for close to 3 years! And she would stiill be with Eteri for more years. But sports is cruel and Zhenya got injured and eveything changed leading to this coaching change.
I feel for Zhenya who is sensitive for any pain she is going through leaving Eteri, Sergey, Danill and also possibly leaving her beloved Russia to live and train abroad. I wish her well and hope she keeps her citizenship.

Now... I want to know about Polina and Sasha Trusova... will they stay with Eteri? Will they leave?

I think Polina leaves and for sure Sasha stays. Her arc is amazing. Why would she leave Eteri? She dominates juniors at just 13 like no one else.

I want to know about Polina,too.I'm so worried about her.
On instagram,on fb a d even on ET vk group there are rumor that she is leaving.Some people suppose that she'll leave for CSKA,somebody said that she is looking for a coach and some peoe said that she'll leave with Evgenia and they'll share the same new coach.
I don't know what to think anymore.
On instagram,already a big number of people unfollowed ET girls fan pages because Evgenia leaves.
About Sasha...I think that for moment,she'll stay.
Where did this rumor about Trusova come from? Can it be true?

This popped up on my Youtube recommendations yesterday and yeah it was really interesting! Some of the skaters had props on the ice so it seems it's seems to be concentrating more on the artistic side, which is pretty cool.
Thank you for sharing this!
This little man really is a Pluschenko mini-me :eeking: That's the boy hugging Yuzuru on the ice at Rostelecom, isn't he?
Is there actually a thread on GS for Russian men? Sorry for the off-topic, I got too excited
OMG that's hilarious! I remember everyone was really confused by that kid at Rostelecom, he looked like Sasha, but Sasha was sitting in the stands and isn't that tall, so who is he?! Although watching the whole thing with the chat box on, someone says it's not...so there's another mini-Plushenko out there?! Either way nice donut spin, kid!
And there used to be a Russian Men's thread for last season...not sure if there's one for this upcoming one though.
This is an excellent article on the Zhenya-Eteri divorce.

OMG, so the rumours were true? I really hope the rest of the group will be OK, even though this is not a good thing for the girls, for whom Zhenya is an idol... after all, as Sasha said on a press conference after JGPF, she came to Eteri becaue she wanted to be in a group with Evgenia...

Wow, "the thread" got closed so quickly, i haven't managed to read even 1% of that nonsense.
What I want to say that if Evgenia really said that about Alina, that's totally inappropriate and I lose all my respect for her.
Still waiting for some official statement from her.

What did she say?
Dont know if this true. Zhenya to eteri: Why could you not kept alina in juniors for one more year.
I dont know what to believe but this is just awful zhenya will be devastated if she found out that eteri revealed those private combo. Though it was just wrong for zhenya to request such thing to her coach.

What I want to say is it is more interesting about the person who expose those words to the national tivi without any evidence. I can go on national tivi with the same "I heard coach A told her student to retire because she is too old." And you should believe me the same, eh?

Same here. I guess the truth is somewhere between. They both share a part of guilt, Zhenya for treating Eteri this way, Eteri giving too much inside info. It's probably hard for them both..My only concern is that I think Eteri did not realise it's not fine to drag Alina into this. I hope it will all be sorted out and the atmosphere at Sambo will remain the same. They are all some strong kids, so I guess it will be fine [emoji4]
