This is so sad for Sotskova. But it is entirely her fault alone. It seems extreme, BUT Russia is on such thin ice regarding doping that Sotskova should have known that forging a doctor's medical excuse note is very serious. Russia had no choice. Sucks to be her, but she has to own 100% of her punishment.
It really depends on the type of person you are and what works for you. For example Yuzuru did have Javi to compete with at times, but often he would be in Japan or simply not train together.
In medical circles if someone has "angina" it is almost always referring to chest pain. Most likely due to myocardial ischemia (lack of oxygen to heart muscle). However, other things can imitate angina, like panic/anxiety attacks, indigestion, gastroesophageal reflux disease, referred pain from somewhere else, etc.
It's been years since I've last had it and I still shiver at the memory of it.
Sounds like strep throat.
Well, I think that only professionals can draw a clear line between just a sore throat which is горло болит and angina which is tonsillitis. The reason is that there is no such a condition as "sore throat". It is still a manifestation of some infection. I don't know what exactly Pluschenko meant but I and people around me say angina rather than sore throat when it hurts more than usual.
Oh thank you! I was getting so dizzy
I believe the psychology of training is very different to that of competing. There are many known athletes who win all training sessions and never deliver when it matters. So high drop-out rates belong to a highly competitive environment. It doesn't work for everyone, I believe Sasha is the one for whom it doesn't.
What would work for Sasha, I don't know. I think that even her result at the coming Worlds will not be reliable enough to decide, because of the unusual year. I sincerely hope she will overcome that pattern of not delivering, a phobia? (What is usually called "minus start" in Russian).
What’s your source?

Interesting! I know nothing about Russian contract law, but in several countries, entering into a contract with a minor is legally binding only on the adult and not the minor, unless the parents/guardians of the minor ratify the contract. Presumably then the contracts would be with the skaters' parents, until the skaters reach the age of majority?
Like in french or in portuguese ... If she had a truly angina pectoris she would be in the hospital doing ekg, echo, ... no coach would want a heart arrest in a competition...
If it was Rozanov solely, she obviously wouldn't leave him now... (Btw, I wonder how Rozanov feels at the moment, he might find himself in a kind of empty space...)
