2026-27 Russian Women's Figure Skating

Wow didn't expect to hear this, I have loved following Adeliia, sad we won't see more of her, unless she is just taking a break. According to reports she has joined a ballet company/training?

It seems she has been accepted to a prestigious school of ballet & her injuries have accumulated (hip injury). Surprised?
 
Adeliia leaves Team Tutberidze

Shocking!!!! I expected her to go on a break for a year or two and even undergo surgical treatment if needed during that period (especially after the ankle, groin and back injury she sustained all last season). But I didn’t think she’d leave teamtut after enduring with them for so long.

I wish her the best whether she continues with another coaching staff or if she chooses to retire.

She has been nursing injury and plans to focus on her 2nd year university in Gitis institute. She doesn't plan to retire as according to Russian media. Seems like she needs more time to deal with with injury

As of now she doesn't have any new programs so it's evident she is taking his season off
 
I've just started the junior test skates thread

Oh it is not 28-31 July anymore?

Everyone has a breaking point. Her coaching team completely messed up her preparation for the Olympics, put her under even more pressure that she already was, exacerbated her injuries, failed to get her ready nor mentally nor technically, failed to support her at the most crucial of times, and topped it all up afterwards by publicly blaming her for the failure 😶 After all this, I think it's rather to be expected that she felt that all she had endured was for nothing at all in the end, and that enough is enough.

Whether she continues her career or not (and I hope she does), at this point, really, she has nothing to lose and all to win by leaving, at the very least from a physical and mental health point of view. I wish her well.
 
So far, they have added only a few skaters and mostly women.
I read in Facebook:

Yana Rudkovskaya on Elena Kostylyeva's neutral status:
"We currently have no information about Elena Kostylyeva being granted a neutral status. But the statement has been submitted, we are waiting for a decision."

I like it when forum members are better experts than one of the most accomplished and successful coaching staff in the history of this sport.

It's not a matter of being an expert, which of course I'm not and probably most (all?) of us aren't either. It's just that if you are going to take past Olympic triumphs as proof of greatness, as you seem to do yourself, then you also do need to take the failure of this Olympics as proof of shortcomings. You can't have it all, if the coaching team is responsable for the highs, they are also responsible for the lows, otherwise it is not fair. Which, by the way, is why I dislike coaches (of which unfortunately there are many) who show up for victory pictures but bail on their students the minute the boat starts to sink.

Without being any sort of expert, without any inside scoop, I do believe they messed up Adelia's preparation for all the reasons I mentioned in my previous post. And there is much evidence of this really, such as Adelia jumping like crazy 15+ failed 4T attempts in the practice before the Milan FS, further destroying her confidence and worsening her injuries, just to go and actually land the famous 4T at a Russian competition just like a week after the Olympics when it already didn't matter at all. And to be honest, the fact that after all that Adelia went through, they actually went out and blamed her for it all... well that's just :palmf:

Anyway, all this is pointless now. It's all done and can't be changed. The best for Adelia is to move on, get far away from it all and carry on with her life 💪
