There's everybody you would expect to see, except Seva (injured? Haven't seen him much lately) And Sonya is training with the younger ones. She's usually with Anna and Kami and those girls

And there is that new boy again. I don't know who he is
I think he could be injured he didn't compete in the Moscow older age comp even tho the other 3 did. Is Adeliya injured too? She hasn't been in any other training vids and here she is doing different stretching exercises than the others?

But she is dancing so her spirit is not injured.
 
And Adelia is there!
Perhaps her back’s a bit injured? She’s not doing the same exercise as everyone else - I wonder if this is the reason we didn’t see her in the previous videos.

the flexibility 🙀😱
I hope Adelia is ok. Sure you have to be in good health because training is so demanding.
 
Maybe, but I haven't seen better off ice choreo from US, Japan or Canadian coaches.
I doubt you've seen off-ice choreo from Japan, US, or Canadian coaches :shrug: They usually don't post it on FB or Twitter or Instagram.

Anyway, Valieva is good enough to beat a dance instructor at his own skill ;) That's the take-away.
 
Exactly. So it's hard to say if they can do anything better easily.
This is incredibly confusing to bring up then. I didn't claim Zheleznyakov was worse than off-ice choreographers from other countries. I had little interest in making such a comparison.

You just wrote that it's not hard to do choreo better than Zhelezniakov. I wonder where you saw that better choreo.
 
I always thought skaters in other countries normally get their off ice choreo from external dance classes.
I think the coach usually recommends they go to a studio, or brings someone else in to teach them, yes. At least from what I know about Canadian and American skating.
 
LOL, this is great.

These forums are in their worst state ever. I don't go to places like FSU because it's both dumpster and overly segregated, and Goldenskate keeps getting closer to that. The administration needs to stop trying to treat everyone as babies and blocking interesting discussion or funny comments, it's so tiresome and the amount of censorship around here these days is unacceptable.
Well the reason probably is that without these rules the discussion was absolutely dreadful on here, you could have 15 pages without a single page worth reading. So I'd say that it's more the forum administration reacting to how the people behave rather than arbitrarily deciding on something without good reason. To me, the discussion's been quite a bit better since the change.

I don't think he's talking about this thread. I agree this thread is MUCH better than it was during around October 2020, it was barely readable. But I think he's talking in general, for the rest of the website.

ETA: Since most of this will be deleted anyway... IDK what was said about the Plushenkos that prompted that, but I hope it was done keeping in mind that it was both of them that gave coaching interviews, and Yana is technically associated with skating now.

If the ”b team” gets 75,000 dollar Mercedes as gifts, I can’t imagine what the “a team“ gets.

For a free car, I don’t want to see the light of day either. Haha
Well, it seems that she got a good discount but not the car itself.
Also in her case it is not a merit of figure skating, during lockdown she became a TikTok super star in Russia
 
I really think that everything was already said in Alionas case.

How about we focus on the upcoming worlds?

I'm most interested on what Sasha will do.
Will she go for relatively safe 3 quads and settle for silver? Coz it does not seem to be much into her character.
Also, can she be sure of the silver with 3 quads? I quess no if Rika goes clean, right?

Do you think she will try the 3A? I quess if I was her I would try in the short, even if she stumbles around there doesn't seem to be much to lose point wise?

To challenge Anna she would surely need unless 4 quads...
