2020 Cup of Russia: Stage II

Apparently Zhulin does not care about Vika's well-being. He wants them to skate at Sochi in 2 weeks. Vika skated on injections today because she is in so much pain. Let her rest!
I would just again like to declare how much I dislike almost all Russian coaches and officials. And, if we want to extend that beyond Russian borders it if fair to say that I dislike almost all figure skating coaches because most do not prioritize the health of their athletes. Zhulin's interviews are especially irritating to me, and almost always display a nugget of misogyny just for fun....

He cares a lot about her, you should read interviews with him. Saying ‘everything is fine’ is a very typical Russian coaches’ thing to say, even if it isn’t. I love Russia, the Russians and I’m a mega Team Russia fan, but the ‘we can’t show any weekness and we’ll be fine’ attitude sometimes annoys me as well. Trust me, I’ve had years of it as a Stolbova/Klimov fan. At some point, you’ll start to ignore it and read between the lines. 👍
 
Hmpf I bet she doesn't let them call her a diminutive I bet the have to call her "Your Majesty"

I'd like to call her a "rude, backstabbing, fatshaming, hypocrital a-hole".
My goodness! I’ve only just arrived (having found the stream provided by Edwin—thanks, Edwin!) and seem to have found myself in the middle of the American presidential election, with all its name-calling, by mistake!
 
There is so much at stake for both athletes and coaches, the coaches play these kind of games. Sinitsina and Katsalapov are adults, they will decide for themselves eventually.
 
Once again, we are being treated to a slightly creepy view of the warm-up area. Yesterday, during the ladies event it felt a bit weird. However, as a woman in my thirties, I feel like a dirty old woman watching these young men warm-up. I really think they should reconsider the placement of the camera.

Side note: Samarin always seems like such a nice guy. I am really not a fan for his skating, but as a human being he seems great!

Yes, like when Nikita stopped in the middle of the Russian Champs and they couldn’t go to Euros 2018. Turned out he made the right decision cause it would have been much worse if he’d carried on.
 
There is a remote cam in the warm up area, and the skaters have found it.
When the walking camera is on the trainers in the corridor, their conversations stall, it is eavesdropping after all, and the media pick up anything. Verbal or non verbal.
