She was, she withdrew after the short. Basically all the members of team Spb were there.

I think those who will not restore their full technical content are those who would lose part of it anyway. Though I think there is still time before we could say who will not restore it for good, like at least this whole season.
Semantically, I'd say "no, it isn't realistic". It would depend on a lot though. Yuna Kim lost her 3Lo after her back injury, and was inconsistent with it even after it got healed, but I expect if she'd trained it more out of necessity, she'd have regained it (but then, at the expense of her back). I'd have to look up more people, but remember Nathan Chen was on crutches once, but the next season ended up even landing 4Lz and 4F. It depends on how they direct your training after injury, and of course the nature of the injury itself matters.
For COVID, I'd say it's a lot less complicated than that. They lost training time, but unless there's some physical change that prevents them from getting a jump back, I'd expect to see it back.
Thanks. So I would say without Liza Stanislava is apparently the strongest SPB lady skater currently. I'm not sure how Sofia S. will develop in the future, but it seems to me, unfortunately, she won't cross the 2018/19 season results.

Economics student here: that's not what monopoly is at all. You're talking about monopoly power which is seperate to monopoly.
Lawyer replies - that's what monopoly is meant by law
Is it a rhetorical question?

I also have that degree
Monopoly has specific characteristics , some of them (which are relevant for this comparison) would be high barriers of entry to the market and having a single seller. The situation with a coach being successful isn’t a monopoly, since other coaches exist (there isn’t one single coach for all ladies on the planet) and there are no high barriers of entry (everyone can become a coach).
good luck with obtaining your degree btw.

I want Eteri to stop monopolizing figure skating. It is unfair for so many hard-working coaches. If Evgheni interrupts this monopolization, congratulations!

We should file a collective complaint with FAS.
Eteri is not monopolizing fs, she's dominating it.
I wish someone would bring in Oksana Baiul's latest nonsense just so this can end, but like I won't because it's just so obnoxious. It's really nothing as deep as some coach having a "monopoly" or what's happening in this thread being "propaganda".

Her opinion about Kamila? I think we’ve already discussed that
Oh it's not new?! Wonder why I've seen it moving around on Twitter again. But at least no one's going to bring it in again, then. I didn't realize she also wanted the ISU to pay for their insurance.Her opinion about Kamila? I think we’ve already discussed that
And I want Czech Republic to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup, our players are so hardworking

Yes!!!! - it will be like when that Knight in Shining Armour Evan Lysacek interrputed Plushy's "Reign of Terror" in men's skating.
I say this tongue-in-cheek, because Plushy is one of my favorite men's skaters of all times.
But some of these posts have been just plain over the top.
Well there's an old expression in the US - work smarter not harder. Love her or hate her, Eteri and her team has been the most successful in reading the rules and training her skaters to capitalize those rules and everyone else is still just copying what they do to be successful.

I don't hate Etheri! I never said anything bad about her! He is a very good coach! I think I'm upset with her fans who permanently attack Evgheni .. IMO without clear evidence, but only on assumptions
