But is she really? To me, her official media appearances come over as forced, aka 'keeping up appearances'. And only on rare occasions I have seen her in what I think is a relaxed and comfortable state. Perhaps when she's done well in Moscow GP and feels fine, there will be a true and honest interview in her native Russian language, perhaps with Emma Gadzhiyeva?
And I stick to my opinion that #TeamBOrser has done a poor 'packaging job' this season. Nice programs, but poorly designed costumes. That dark unitard is downright hideous in my eyes, making her look way too angular and crooked. The kimono style dress has an unusual cut and looks special and innovative, but being this dark makes her look 'top heavy'. Some lighter colours would suit Yevgeniya better in my eyes, for she is so young still and having dark hair and eyes always make for a nice contrast against lighter coloured, even bright, fabrics.
The costumes might look much better in photographs and when seen on the ice with your own eyes though, TV darkens and distorts quite often. But the majority of spectators watch competitions on screen, and this could've been taken more into account in presenting Yevgeniya as a skater trying to re-invent herself, after having broken herself free from former conventions.
Perhaps she will write her memoirs later in life and disclose all the secrets we so very much tried to guess?
