2018-19 Russian Ladies' figure skating

[russianfan]

Urgant: Boys say they don't want to skate with girls, girls say they don't want to skate with boys. How do we get pairs then?
Boy: Well, if girls or boys are bad at some jumps, or if they can't do anything in competition, they unite and become a pair.
Urgant: So, does it mean that pair skaters are "so-so"(bad) as skaters?
Boy: Well, yes.
Urgant: Remind me please, in which team you're in?
Boy: Kostomarov's team.
Urgant: He's an Olympic champion, in which discipline?
Boy: Pairs.


P.S. i'm first

Help us who don't understand Russian out, what did he say? :think:

Urgant: girls say they don't wanna skate with boys, boys say they don't wanna skate with girls, so where do these pairs come from?
Kid: Well, if the girl can't cope with jumps and boy can't cope with with jumps and they get poor results in competitions, they unite and become pairs.
Urgant: So, if you skate in pair, you're so-so figure skater?
Kid: Yes.
Urgant: Remind me, which team are you skating in?
Kid: Roman Kostomarov's.
Urgant: He's Olympic champion in what discipline?
Kid: Pairs.

Did you just omit Her Loveliness, Yulia Vyacheslavovna Lipnitskaya in your game and dare to expect attention from us? :curse:
Some things are simply inexcusable. :roll5:

Fascinating behind the scenes with Alina. Ive never seen Eteri so quiet!

So with Anna Tarusina being eligible (already 15) next season, I understand we will see her in seniors?

She was very good and severely underscored in SNats and won packed ElderAgeNats week ago, so why wouldn't they put eligible on-fire skater on international scene, right?

I think it's better for Tarusina, Panenkova and Gubanova to go senior now, while Kostornaia, Trusova and Shcherbakova are still junior.

Who knows, maybe this season one of them can leave Sotskova and Tsurskaya out of the russian trio for Euro and Worlds.

What is going on that has Serafima so amped on life? She’s been so positive during her trip to Italy? Best week ever? I want whatever it is that she’s found!

Gotta watch Daria Usacheva!

Is it alright for me to wonder if Evgenia will do her “Leftovers” program next season? The one designed for backloading, the one she dropped in favor of Anna Karenina? I don’t think I’d mind so much. But I’m very very curious as to what music choices Alina will receive. What do u think Eteri wants them to skate to??

 

[tars]

Gotta watch Daria Usacheva!

and Anya Shcherbakova! :hap85:

I still wonder why they replaced her with Kostornaya at some fragments Does it mean they think Alina has such bad skating skills that they have to replace her with Kostornaya for "gliding" fragments, and only record Alina's jumps?

LOL but for real as Kostornaia's biggest fan I wish she had an outside edge Lutz and Loop combo like Alina, also in both mine and Mr. Plushenko's opinion Zagi has the most beautiful air positions in women's skating right now!

Well it should be obvious to everyone that the skater in the red outfit is the more complete skater...not just a "jumping machine" :sarcasm:

 

[russianfan]

if serious, i heard that they didn't have enough time/footage because of Alina's busy schedule filled with shows... but who knows
