I think that Evgenia really loves competing whereas Alina doesn't really relish the fight especially since she is not in the running for medals.

It's a tough ask for Jenna physically but she's willing to rest and do some shows and then train over the summer and go to test skates so I want to keep an open mind that it's possible that she can return.
I think she must have been told by doctors that her back and long can improve and that the after affects of Corona virus will dissipate at some point.
Just want to say that being all that rocket/machine/terminator uber athlete, Sasha is also a very beautiful girl.

There are so many beautiful photos of Sasha. That one belongs in the Coaching Cauldron Thread. Or in another thread, yet to be created, titled: "Bad and Questionable Decisions made by Adults responsible for the physical, mental and emotional well-being of Teenage Figure Skaters."

It would be off-topic to discuss it here (for the most part, because it does in fact involve Russian ladies among others). If you want to message me I will explain my post.
My post was an emotional reaction to seeing that photo. If it should be deleted, someone please let me know and I will do it.

I definitely agree, but in his case I would prefer work via video with the skaters.

Oh yes! I really like her choreography for Maria's Black Magic Woman and Winter SPs.
Does anyone know who choreographed Kanysheva's Tchaikovsky, Kostyuk's Gershwin and Sinitsyna's Rachmaninoff? I really loved those programs.
Sometimes choreography from smaller names can be more impressive than world-class choreography honestly, but again, it has a lot to do with how well a choreographer/the person being choreographed for can understand each other. Maybe that's why Danny G usually can make good short programs that work well, because he does know his clients well. I guess that's one down-side to inviting choreographers you barely know.
I think this whole video choreography situation is really hurting too, since I feel like Shae-Lynn's choreography style really suits Alyona.

This is all horrifying and horrifyingly unsurprising.
I was so excited to hear she would be working with Shae Lynn initially, but there is just no way anything genius is being created over the phone

I actually think that is not the best match. I think Shae-Lynn choreo would work better with Kamila or Sasha for example. For Alyona i would find some old school choreographer.

I do think Kamila and Shae-Lynn choreo could be a perfect match, but with Alyona's ability to really make a fun program come to life, I thought she could really pull of some of Shae-Lynn's odd choreo. Alyona can do a multitude of styles, so honestly she could work with many choreographers. Sasha and Shae-Lynn is an interesting combo. I think it could work actually!
(I've always wanted Anna to work with Averbukh and Daria with Jeffrey Buttle).

I have a friend whose stepmother is 15 years younger than him. And they had a kid, so his sister is almost 50 years younger than him. He is pissed.So his wife is with stepmother to a girl just 3 years younger. A has to be like in the Guinness book of records.

Participants for Cup final are out!
Kamila Valieva, Anastasia Gulyakova, Alena Kostornaya, Elizaveta Nugumanova, Sofya Samodurova, Maria Talalaikina, Anastasia Tarakanova, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Daria Usacheva, Anna Frolova, Maya Khromykh, Ksenia Tsibinova
No Trusova so I assume she already got her spot. Also no Sinitsyna, she didn't participate in events, but I hoped she could go as national team member.

Plushenko said Sasha is recovering from the injury and preparing for the World Championships. The best solution IMO.No Anna OR Sasha!?!
And the preliminary list for junior ladies:
Sofia AKATYEVA
Elizaveta BERESTOVSKAYA
Veronika ZHILINA
Maria ZAKHAROVA (she skipped jr nats)
Valeria KOSTINA
Stanislava MOLCHANOVA
Sofia MURAVYOVA
Valeria OVCHINNIKOVA
Elizaveta OSOKINA

No Alina Gorbachova in this important competition (for JGP spots). She couldn't do two stages. Would have liked to see Sviridenko and Latushkina. There was no hope for Sadkova.
Kostina and Molchanova again from the Senior Cup. I don't like that.
