Hi!

Please do not discuss the current LP at Russian Nationals or ask for or supply a livestream while the competition is ongoing.

Please join the competetion chat threads for this discussion.

Thanks!

Yeez it's sad enough that this place that was open to everybody for years is getting monetized.
Even worse blocking off people who are not willing or able to pay a fee to discuss their favourite sport and comment in other places.

So now Zhenya deserves free coaching? Orser will be fine - whether or not she is successful.

Kind of tired of the pity party - she lost Olympic gold/won silver. Endless sympathy isn’t going to help her and free coaching ... she’s not a charity case.

I have no idea where this “endless sympathy” trope comes from?

Zhenya has never asked for sympathy. I don’t see anyone on this Forum asking for “sympathy”. Understanding, yes.

And no one has asked Brian to work for free. except for people who think his rep rises and falls on Zhenya. Which ETA: we agree it doesn’t.

Well too bad for you there aren't any free meals no more. Someone's gotta pay the bills. You can always move to another site.

 

[starlight97]

Well yes but her coaching staff very aware of RusFed politics and likely prepared her for the “show” that RusNats is

Exactly. If she keeps up her level they will not be able to deny her infinitely. She shouldn't care about this useless theater, leave that to your coaches and concentrate on your skating

the eteri effect starting to show on Alina

Then create your own forum or, at least, be grateful to those people who, out of love of figure skating, work and care for this one.

[doublequad]

wow that last group was incredible

 

[neusw]

Welcome to the new world order. So I guess Anna is getting sent to Junior worlds lololol

 

[malya]

At least nobody will claim Shcherbakova needs to stay in juniors now!

(and please, no more Medvedeva VS Zagitova. Both fell twice and missed a caskade. They should be left alone to practice)

 

[Vandevska]

Before the fans of either of the two popular girls start attacking each other: please remember that yesterday and today showed us that anything can happen and to ANYONE. Be kind, they don't deserve even more negativity.

I stayed up till 2am to watch this stream, and I don’t know how the hell I’m supposed to fall asleep after this.

ANNA WON. THE PODIUM IS THREE ETERI JUNIORS. MY WIG IS IN ORBIT.

 

[starla16]

Im shocked :shocked:
I still cant get over it

 

[VenusHalley]

Wow, wow, wow... what just happened there? Juniors take the podium, leaving Olympic girls behind...

Though I am happy that we can put the talk of Zhenya being "over" on ice for now. She is fighter, that one. Though I think she was slightly overscored on PCS:

What.Just.Happened.

I am so proud of Anna. To come from a broken arm to a broken leg to a WR first JGP to disappointment at her next JGP and the JGPF to SENIOR NATIONAL CHAMPION and a beautiful 4Lz in a clean program!

What? What?

How did Gubanova do today? I am hoping over 200 points for her as a senior in a senior competition.

 

[Dr-minus]

Has anyone guessed this podium right??? If you did, you have my eternal respect.

 

[Hello from Brazil]

What a fantastic competition!
The Juniors swept the podium today
