I was about to say, haven't seen it over here must be thinking about another site. Nowhere more do you realise how US-centric another site is than the figure skating board there. As though "it took XYZ happening to make figure skating World's clean". Reeks of narcissism to try to connect it in this way. And for those getting excited finding a silver-lining when this is so much bigger than figure skating, no words.
I've seen some comments like that here, too. In the new thread about the ban. I can just say that there's no point to watch the international figure skating now. It's just sad that after covid now this happens. But understandable considering everything, I guess..
Don’t board-drag that trash in here.

I absolutely agree.
I sincerely hope that this does not end up happening!
No they haven't hurt their careers. I'm sure all of them are against this invasion. All they have to say we are against war and I think that's all they've said. I'm not expecting any of the figure skaters or Russian athletes to come out and say I support this 100%.
Why?
I don’t like the coaching methods and practices in the school she was previously with, so I hope she found a better place to continue her career.
I hope so too. I also hope it's closer to her Parent's home so alleona can see them and her brother more often. But that coaching team also made her the best lady skater in the world a couple years ago though and if not for the virus she probably would have won worlds in addition to Europeans. She was pretty close to being automatic.
I hope she does, because the first time she skated her short program this year, I felt her recovery had started and I enjoyed it. Also, I am looking forward to different choreography for next year.
I find them abhorrent, too, so I'm not unhappy she's out of there. After how Tutberidze and co. talked about her all season (e.g. calling her out for not training with a broken arm, until she did train with it and promptly broke the second one), it doesn't surprise me either. I'm just not thrilled with Buyanova as a choice.

She has problematic attitudes that, sadly, are very similar to the bodyshaming known to the Tutberidze camp.
Anastasiia Gubanova: Elena Buyanova wants everything at once
Interview with Anastasiia Gubanova who was recently expelled from Elena Buyanova's group in CSKA because offs-gossips.com
Read that interview and what happened to Gubanova at Buyanova's camp. The whole "constant training, constant results" won't work with Aliona, who's recovering from two serious injuries in a row. She needs a slow rebuilding process.
Personally, I would have preferred Sokolovskaya. She isn't known for her work with girls but Kondratiuk just had a breakout this season and she seems very sensible and sympathetic.
This is what she said about Mark:
"He’s lazy, but he has a special laziness. He knows when to stop. This helps him a lot. Being a lazy person is generally a big advantage."
Svetlana Sokolovskaya about Mark Kondratiuk: “He’s lazy, but he has a special laziness. He knows when to stop. This helps him a lot. Being a lazy person is generally a big advantage.”

Given how often Aliona's been accused of being "lazy", maybe a coach with an attitude like that would be a better fit. Well, at least she's at CSKA now, so the way to Sokolovskaya isn't far…
