2019-20 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

[Arbitrary]

I see the results of RusNats like those:

Shcherbakova to EC and WC
Kostornaya to WC and 1st substitute to EC
Trusova to EC and 1st substitute to WC
Tuktamisheva to WC and 2nd substitute to EC

I'd say if Trusova to be denied to participate in Worlds at may be a medal lost. She usually peaks at spring season.

But it wasn't xenophobic. And I'm calling that out, stupid is one word and xenophobic is a whole other accusation.

I don't say it was xenofobic, after all I'm not a man of PC times. I care only whether something is polite or not, vulgar or not, reasonable or not. And the claim wasn't polite, it was unreasonably vulgar, therefore stupid.

its already been announced 3A are going to Euros.

there's no logical way RusFed would send any other team to worlds either.

3A to Euros and I doubt that will change for Worlds. Even on a relatively bad day these three can easily beat the other European girls, nobody really comes close.

I don't understand how people can imagine something else that 3A at worlds and europeans

I think the only interesting question at this point are the alternates. 3A are going to Euros and Worlds.

 

[Good Vibes Only]

These three girls are so special. They all have very different personalities on and off the ice, but the one thing they have in common is their determination to win. They all want to win so badly and nothing but a gold is good enough for them. It’s truly incredible that at their age they have such a drive to be that perfect. I hope that the chemistry between them remains civil and that they can continue to be rivals and friends. Eteri has done a good job so far of keeping the peace, so hopefully she will be able to conserve it. It will be hard because most likely Euros and Worlds will have all three of them competing against each other. I hope these girls realize how much good they are doing for this sport even if they don’t always get first.

Anna, Sasha, and Aliona will be competing at Europeans for the first time this season. It'll be interesting to see how (if at all) this affects peaking and what not.

 

[DenissVFan]

Guliakova also was on fire, this is the best i've seen from her all season and overall an improvement yet again compared to last season. I really hope she gets GP assignments next season, she has been working hard for it. I had her above Frolova.

She could get the host spot at Rostelecom.

 

[macy]

i can imagine this competition was probably the most pressure filled and nerve wracking of the entire year for 3A (and Liza) as the rest of the season is on the line. i think the girls will feel some weight off their shoulders now that they've made Euros and worlds (who else is more deserving?)

 

[DenissVFan]

I think the only interesting question at this point are the alternates. 3A are going to Euros and Worlds.

Most Likely Liza T. (#1) and Nastya Gulyakova (#2) – for Europeans at least. I thought Zhenya might be named the second alternate but her from her announcement sounded like her season is over.

The 1st class is still alive and well.
Tuktamisheva, Medvedeva, Zagitova may want to try another hand.

Yeah, I mean if they aren't going to send Liza based on her GP results last year, they certainly aren't going to send her ahead of Sasha who has only lost to the other two Russian medalists this season.

Well said. Hope they also know how thankful we are!

As you can see, feelings do get hurt. Both Sasha and Aliona sad over not winning, and Anna feeling awkward. Notice the resemblance to the Olympics? It's impossible to not get emotional.

Yes, and it’s the one on the top of the podium who dictates these emotions. Anna is just like Alina, humble and modest, but if Aliona would have won today, she would not have felt awkward at all

 

[flanker]

First alternate should be of course Liza. And the next one Guliakova, if they will respect the results of the RusNats.

 

[Jontor]

Will Guliakova and Tuktamysheva be the alternates for Europeans and Worlds? I hope so. I think Frolova and Sinitsina, even though they finished ahead of Guliakova, are too young.

It looks that way for now

 

[Mishaminion]

Are you serious?

The first reaction Alyona had when she won her second GP and booked her place in the final was to bring up her two teammates and the achievement of all 3 making the final.

Why are you personally attacking this girl when you have no idea what her personality is actually like?

 

[DenissVFan]

The assessments of Alena's character are getting out of hand...

 

[Fluture]

Yes, and it’s the one on the top of the podium who dictates these emotions. Anna is just like Alina, humble and modest, but if Aliona would have won today, she would not have felt awkward at all

That is, I assume, because Aliona, like Evgenia, is not a humble and modest person? Gotta love this thread.

I was under the impression that they were all hard-working and humble girls but apparently not.
