Well, for me at least. Kanysheva was somewhat not very nice about Zagitova in a video back in the summer of 2018, which created quite a commotion in russian media and forums. For me, makes no sense to accept someone who makes fun of one of the top skaters in the team, which could lead to conflicts and discomfort among the skaters who already train there.
Thanks for pointing this out. I was not aware of it, so I will seek it out and mull over it, perhaps. It is horrible when there is nastiness expressed towards Alina from all quarters and we know that Alina has been and remains the target of much criticism from the media and from certain envious adults and near-adults. (But it is also clear that they represent a tiny, though very vocal, minority of voices, far outweighed by the adoration Alina inspires.)
But we need caution imputing the same levels of conscious ill-intent from children on the cusp of and in their early teens, even though we know that children of all ages can be thoughtlessly cruel (towards parents, siblings, friends, rivals, strangers...) We also know the mind matures far later than the body, only starts to catch up with the body age in the late teens and through the twenties (in some people never). And furthermore, these girls and boys are under very peculiar pressures as (effectively) professional athletes. Some respond to these pressures in remarkably mature ways, others, of course, not so much. As adults ourselves, we have to decide when it is right to megaphone and prolong things and and when to downplay and let the lapses fade away. If there is a genuine problem with any particular skater, it will surely keep resurfacing.
I would say, however, however much we are aware of something like this doing the rounds in the social and actual media, we can be certain that Eteri and the management at Khrystalnyi are that much better informed than we are, so I'm quite sure they know what they are doing.
[Edit: I have viewed the offending video provided by Orlov, and I agree with others here, it just seems like the idle, rather gormless chitchat to be expected from children of that age, particularly those under the glare of spotlight and the competitive pressures that they are, blown out of all proportion, similar to another recent incident.]
hwell:
Some would even humorously evaluate chances of that are pretty high to happen. If there even would be a hint of that in the press - quick, someone please get the microphone to Yags. ASAP.
