2022 Olympics: Women's Free Skate

Honestly, this is what I thought too. I've heard many many many coaches say this to skatees even in the lower levels (meaning prejuv, etc) and I've never thought of them as "monsters".
do you not realize the enormity and the weight of the situation Kamila has dealt with the last week? at the biggest competition of her entire life? what Eteri said is standard for a normal competition under normal circumstances, but not one where her 15 year old student's entire career came crashing down around her in the biggest sporting scandal of the year. Eteri is absolutely a monster for not treating Kamila as a human being in the most vulnerable, difficult moment of her entire life. these girls really are disposable to her.
 
But I am devastated for Sasha… 5 quads and no gold. I get it that she’s not the most artistic and staff… but boy, 5!!! What else could this girl have possibly done?
She made several mistakes. It's not like her quads were all clean, and her 2A-3T was messy as well. It is alwas quality before quantity. Even when she lands her jumps, they have no flow.

It make me so mad the way posters are bashing her for her justified frustration. If she goes for her max she's out. If she played it safe, not only out of Gold but they would have knocked her off the podium or just a very distant 3rd.
I agree, she had no choice but to go all out. Maybe the 3A in the short was a stupid decision, because in all her practice reports she hardly ever landed that jump.
In the end, there's no way around but to try and increase the PCS, because otherwise it will never be enough.

I’m debating whether I even want to watch this. I don’t want to watch Kamila melt down- on or off the ice.
Actually it was a nice competition until Kamila's skate and the drama that followed afterwards.
 
honestly i don't think a lot of us do either.
I give full credit to all the ladies for doing their best on the olympic stage. Yay Kaori, Anna, and Sasha. I just feel for Kamila - she is the scapegoat. A lot has been said but we do not know if there is evidence of national dopig, an accident, sabtage from a jealous competitor whatever. After seeing the amazing free programs and the quality and technical skill wow. So much pressure on these ladies. But as for fairness I think about some people with more money, designer babies picking and choosing semen and eggs, switching countries and the list goes on. SKaters enjoy your olympic moment. You all earned it and shame on those abusing, using these young ladies.
 
Kamila will get back up and come back stronger than ever, right? How do I have a bad feeling that Olympics FS will be her last? I feel like she's under so much scrutiny that she wants to stop.

I wonder if Kamila could go to Brian Orser for a fresh start and rebuild with a healthier approach (assuming he would sign on, of course). They allowed it for Medvedeva...
 
It´s the timing. Nobody said Eteri isn´t allowed to give her coaching talk, but she should have done it later. This wasn´t the time to blurt out with what she should have done different. This was most likely Kamilas worst day in her life and normal human beings knows this is not how you should react right away when someone is very obvious hurting.
This. Exactly, precisely THIS. :clap:

After this week's emotional roller coaster, second-guessing is the last thing that Kamila needs. What on earth was Eteri thinking? :rolleye: That poor girl needs peace and quiet and tons of hugs, not scolding. I wonder if she wants to continue skating. If she does, I really hope she leaves Eteri.
 
if she stays with Eteri after this i will be absolutely shocked.
Yes, this is so heartbreaking to read. Poor girl. At this rate I think there could be a split before Worlds :( I just wish she wasn´t trapped in this Olympic village now with the team with people she can´t stand now. Poor girl needs her family and her dogs. Is it possible they call pull her out of the gala if she wants and just go home right away? This isn´t good for her mental health :(
 
So Eteri is responsible for Aleksandra's post award ceremony behavior and is the bad guy? Most coaches wouldn't put up with what she did either regardless of nationality. Maybe Eteri will "fire her" like Frank did Tim cause no coach wants an attitude like that around their rink

Only person who reacted the right way:

 
Russia and Eteri won't care if she stops. She's no longer useful, and several more girls are coming around on the conveyor belt.
Kamila is a nervous skater, only this season she has been more consistent. Even with Akatieva
I dont see anyone from the current 14 year old crop of russian skaters with kamilas combination of fexibility, lines, quads and axel and maturity for her age. It will be a BIG Loss if we dont see her skate again !

Compare Kamila to Muravieva, Petrosyan , Akatieva, Samodelkina, Kamila is only a year older.
