2019-20 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

[Mishaminion]

It is disgusting.

She had barely stepped off the ice before the nastiness began

Awful way to behave towards a 15 year old girl who is doing her best and with such an incredibly wonderful attitude too

Dar'ya looks in civilian as she looks in skating, classy and sophisticated ;-)

Yes Goldenskate.
No not all in the same post.
If you are really interested in who they were, just go to the Russian Ladies archives last year.

And, if you DID post that "certain people" posted nothing but negativity about Zhenya.
I would agree 100%.

Thank you for answering; I barely have time to keep up here, let alone read the archives

Thank you for not forgetting about me.

Congratulations to Sasha and Zhenya.

The country is proud of you.

I actually was not thinking of you, @NordStream, but I was trying to make a point, it's true. References to "fans out there" or "some people", in my experience, tend to breed defensiveness. Hmmm, you talking about me?

Less issues and more polite to engage directly:thumbsup:

Zhenya was sublime

A personal victory for her no doubt

To me it is very simple. If Sasha has a fever she shouldn't skate at all. WD. Walk over. Done.

But do we really know what's up with Sasha? This sick talk, where does it come from?

I have no idea about any sickness but yesterday I saw a very big bruise on her bottom. Not that it changed anything

Tina is there to defend her queen of dr-er-dogs.

I'll start tomorrow.

Today is a great holiday. 4 gold medals.

It was not a bruise it was her tights being wet after she fell

I'd rather celebrate those 4 Gold Medals than having to sit out yet another contest in barrages of rhetorics and argumentations in verbal eloquence as happens so often in this thread when the old clashes with the new.

The immediate negative response to Sasha's victory absolutely ruined the mood over in the FS competition thread

You don’t have to worry.

Temporarily suspend my attacks))))

While I am satisfied. But .. until the first fall.

It was not immediate.

They were opinions that differed with yours about Sasha's artistry compared to the other two medalists. That's what we do here.

And it didn't ruin the thread for me

Zhenya was sublime

A personal victory for her no doubt

She had a great event, but I wonder how much she is feeling discouraged that she skated almost as well as she could have (10 triples, one "e" but no <) but still finished 10 points behind a skater with two falls. She has to top two of Alina, Anna, Sasha, and Alena just to make the world team, and Sasha appears to be completely out of reach now.

 

[Scott512]

They all came to support Sasha, how wonderful! Loving and supporting teammates, love seeing their bond!
160 again, simply incredible!
And yes, 5 down, 1 to go!!!

No doubt they came to support Sasha and Zhenya!

There was a brief shot with Anna Shcherbakova and Kamila Valiyeva in the audience, in civilian clothes, hardly discernable, but the camera picked them out anyways (probably in the VIP section)

There will surely come clips and pictures on their social media once the event is over.

Aleksandra has to pass through doping control probably and has media obligations, so little time for a group gathering and girls on girls debriefing of what happened in competition.

How long EG can keep this 4A machine rolling will be the greatest test to her coaching and leadership.

How did Stasya do?

Congratulations to Evgenia and Alexandra.

Is there an outside chance for Zhenya to make gpf?

She had barely gotten off the ice lol

People said she had no artistry and didnt deserve to win with two falls... that was unkind

Everybody else of those you mentioned is solving the same problem. Incl. Sasha herself.

Well, we disagree, but like Vegas, what happens in Competition Chat stays in Competition Chat, as it is not available for everyone who reads GS

I think Zhenya did not expect to beat Sasha even if Sasha made mistakes. Which she did. But not enough. Her TES was still high from 3 clean quads, 2 in combination with a triple
That's about as well as most men do!
Sasha did as well with her jumps as the men did in their FS

That Zhenya was ONLY 10 points off that incredible statistic is actually impressive
