Oh, no, the joke was that Kamila, Maiia, Daria, Anna, Aliona and Evgenia would all win Olympic Gold. Just a joke.

Oooh haha. Eh even still I don't think that applies for Maiia, Daria, and Evgenia. Although Daria has the best chance with upgrades. Maiia and Daria don't have the reputation and consistent difficult elements and Evgenia doesn't have the elements. Rika would win that most likely haha...Oh, no, the joke was that Kamila, Maiia, Daria, Anna, Aliona and Evgenia would all win Olympic Gold. Just a joke.

That's not what I meant and has nothing to do with anything. I meant it's unlikely that they would go to Marina to choreograph anything because of the relations between Igor and Marina. At least as long as Igor is coaching Eteri's daughter. Also Igor is a coach and does in fact choreograph Diana and Gleb's programs and has done others before. Yes it's ice dance but Marina also primarily does ice dance.

Ilona Protasenia (Sinitsyna's LP) or Nadezhda Kanaeva (her SP)?
Protasenia seems to be the in-house choreographer for Snow Leopards - do they have any conditions restricting her from working for other clubs' clients? The only non-Snow Leopard example I know is Matvei Vetlugin, but as a boy he isn't a direct competitor. Kanaeva's with Arutunian in California so would require remote choreo, which I don't think is ideal for Kostornaia at least. I'm also not sure about her freedom to work with non-Raf skaters (Panova is sort of affiliated through going to Raf for for summer camps).
I like both choreographers and would be happy to see them utilised more frequently, but if not, Daniil's stuff is serviceable for scoring purposes (I found Twilight tacky but the PCS/Choreo marks disagree).

We can confirm it’s the authentic Eteri Duck since it doesn’t smile either.Eteri has a new assistant helping her oversee the training process:
Well, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Plushenko's are the ones I've read that are saying she's injured not Kostornaia.
How is it that Aliona is doing a 3Lz-3T and already looks better?!
Practice is a lot different than competition.
Tut allowed Aliona to rejoin the team, but... on probationary basis
A lot of the rumors that have come out of AoP and some of the comments made by Eteri regarding Kostornaia's first departure implied behavioral issues. Probationary period is probably to vet out if she's truly onboard with doing things Eteri's way with no talk-back, no drama. And probation doesn't seem that strange of a situation for skaters that coach-hop, it was said that Tarakanova was on probation last year in her second stint with Panova.

I doubt that Shcherbakova will be getting any less attention from her coaching team because Kostornaia is back in Eteri's group. And the fact that the media drama circus seems focused around Kostornaia, that might help Shcherbakova out.

Pro wrestling terminology in a figure skating forum. Now I’ve definitely seen it all. Haha
But I have said that figure skating does pro wrestling better than pro wrestling does. Crooked referees, Dusty finishes, heel turns, etc.

Do we know when the skaters are leaving and if they'll have to do a week-long quarantine as recommended by the Swedish government?
I think we have different criteria for what we consider dominating skaters, that's okay
I don't think Kostornaia was a dominating skater last season; her winning required Shcherbakova and Trusova to make errors, see that Shcherbakova still won every FS segment even though she had errors.

Kostyleva, Kostornaia, Medvedeva, Tsurskaya, Punin, Pokhilyuk all came back to Eteri just this season. Plus Elizabet 3 years ago. Eteri had a season of comebacks.

If they’re happy where they are, they should stay put
Just funny that this particular season she had so many of her former students being back with her one way or another.
