2021-22 Russian Women's Figure Skating

[Amei]

At least they didn't fly!!!

Who is this Kogan dude? I have been freaking out about this fellow and I actually have no idea who he is!!! I've just been worried he'll catch the plane and breath on the girls

Kogan is head of the Russian figure skating fed

Anna's latest video is awesome!!! Gives a really good glance at their journey and what goes on in Beijing. I just love that she's making videos for us!!!! Champ!

Here is another one:



Her and Sasha are roommates.

Not gonna lie everytime I see pictures of Anna & Sasha at the Olympics together, my heart hurts because I wish Aliona was there with them. But at the same time, I'm really happy for those two. Can't believe these two girls who signed my autographs at Euros in 2020 are actually Olympians now. Time flies

 

[Kittosuni]

So Im guessing they will be attending practices tomorrow and we will probably have a glimpse of whose skating the team event

I figured once we saw videos of them going into the dorm they were negative. I imagine there would be a secondary place to isolate positive tests

They deserve it absolutely more than anyone. They are two of the most hard-working and fighting athletes of the entire Olympic cycle.
Anna more than anyone, fighting hate for thousands of people who hate TT, but her loyalty, intelligence, education and mental strength are impressive.
Sasha revolutionizing women's figure skating forever, grateful to the coaches she has had, hardworking.
Aliona, well, I just make the worst decisions in this Olympic cycle, and these are the consequences of it. Eteri should never have taken her back after the way she abandoned her.

 

[prorussian fan]

Anna must be the happiest in the world realizing her Olympic dream in a country that loves her so much.
So excited to see her at the team event and hopefully become Olympic champion next Monday!!! (crossing fingers)

Is it confirmed who is in the team event?

That's past, if Eteri took her back, we fans should deal with it. While I admit I wasn't inclined to it, who am I. And Aliona, despite some not very smart moves from her and not very thoughtful words from others did well as a skater and a person, she is supportive to her teammates and loyal to her coaches. Full recovery to her, not just to her hand.

Only reaction.

 

[prorussian fan]

Is it confirmed who is in the team event?

No, but RUSFED will almost certainly split up the women, so I'm guessing Kami will do the SP and Anna will do the FS.

 

[JazzUp]

Is it confirmed who is in the team event?

RusFed will announce the team only on Feb 3, most probably

 

[Amei]

RusFed will announce the team only on Feb 3, most probably

Previously they said it would be announcing it on Feb 1st, which is why I asked when I saw that comment

 

[Pereiro]

Channel One finally upload video from Krasnoyarsk to YouTube

that was one of the journos, not RusFed, I believe

Oh. Well I gotta say for both Russia and the US I don't understand the secrecy of not announcing the teams at this point. I feel like they have to have made their selection by now and just had a backup plan if someone tested positive upon arrival, surely the skaters know, they can't be waiting till the last moment to tell the skaters so the can mentally prepare for competition that starts in a few days

One more vid of the arrival:

 

[Jontor]

Oh I am so loving this. My girls are at the Olympics!!

And a little nod to Gubanova too, even though it is here. Just when we thought that all hope was gone for her, she is also at the Olympics!!
