I hope Adeliia doesn't get too upset about her result. Unfortunately, the 4T didn't go well, but honestly, the conditions she had to face at the Olympics were generally unfortunate (mentally, physically, etc.).
In any case, I hope she treasures the fact that she was at the Olympics and still achieved a respectable result despite the situation not being the best.

Why is this a good thing? Internationally Adeliya is obviously not competitive and in Russia Alisik was much stronger this season. Next season Kamila will come back. Hopefully Ignatova too. No room for Adeliya anymore, even not at Team Tutberidze. All resources for Alisik and Ignatova. Both are more promising for the future than Adeliya.
Adeliya had her chance, she failed. Next one please.
Why? Nothing would change. She would skate the same programs with the same complexity and the same mistakes. The result would at maximum be the same, maybe even worse. The whole season was a catastrophe with the "highlight" in Milan. Adeliya made the same mistake over and over and over again. If you want to see Adeliya again, watch the "performance" from Milan. In Prague it would be at maximum the same result

She was coming off injury plus the immsense pressure. You don't know what you are talking about.
The score for component is poor and her nerves are not the best. Sorry, but at least components can be established on high level even with two injuries.
If Adeliya cannot deal with pressure, for god heaven sake go to a psychologist! Many athletes working with sports psychologists. That's what Alina Zagitova was mentioning, when she was asking Adeliya if she is working with a psychologist. But it was more easy to blame Alina for being "offense" than the ask itself, maybe Alina is right.
"We wish Adeliya not to be always nervous". Eteri Tutberidze before season 2024/25.
It is a known problem of Adeliya.
But without strong nerves you are not competitive on highest level.
Adeliya was good enough for Frolova, Muravieva and Sadkova. But with high potentials like Alisik and Kami it will become more challenging for Adeliya. Now she has the pressure even in Russia, she didn't have for two years.
This season was a short "hint" what will come in the future. Thank god for Adeliya, Alisik made a mistake in FP at RusNats and Adeliya's lead after SP was ridiculous high.
But still with this lead, and months after the first injury, she lost nerves in FP and missed the first 3 elements. Which pressure at RusNats? She led by 12 points and lost nerves! Yes, she finished her program on an acceptable level. Seems like she had a "now I don't care anymore" mood. But she cannot create this mood before competition! Again, a psychologist...
With nerves like this you're not competitive in a strong competition like the Olympics, with at least 6 skater (3 from Japan and 3 from "the other country") on the same or even higher level.
It was always the same this season: Good SP, terrible FP. With or without injury. With or without a huge lead after SP. Adeliya always failed in FP with 4T or 3A. Just the "friendly" judges in Russia and "hand selected" competitors in GP saved Adeliya.
When Adeliya won in Beijing, I had some hope her nerves will become better. But throughout the season I lost trust in Adeliya. Maybe in Beijing she was "relaxed" because she literally couldn't fall off top 5. We all fooled ourself.
The difference between big champions and "good" skater are often just the nerves.
Adeliya is no big champion and was just lucky, the competition in Russia was very weak after Kami's ban, the (temporary?) retirement of Sasha and Anya, Alisik still skating in junior class and Akatieva's injury troubles. Adeliya knew, she is much better than the rest. Confidence by strength.
The moment, Adeliya feels more pressure, she loses her nerves. Always. Everywhere. Anytime.
If you know, the pressure is absurd, it's even more important to work with a sport psychologist. Adeliya denied and didn't understand Alina's friendly hint. She dramatically overestimated her mental strength.
I would have more hope if Adeliya would finally decide to work together with a sports psychologist. Maybe together with Dasha Sadkova (hello Eteri!!!). But without psychologist she is doomed to fall behind Kami and Alisik next season. Both are at least on the same level as Adeliya.
Kami seems to become very competitive again. She is physically in a much better shape now, than she was 2023. Big. Slim. With well defined muscles. She seems to be very relaxed now. She enjoys skating and jumping and her base level is easy one level above Adeliya. Finally: Kami is free now. No concern, if and when she will be banned. And Alisik is Alisik: Pressure? I don't care.
Next season, Adeliya is not "our athlete for Milan" anymore. She is a normal skater, with P6 in Milan. Nothing to be mentioned in Russia. She will get the well deserved scores, not the high scores like this year. Without high scores for Adeliya, Alisik will beat Adeliya. Because Adeliya will collapse under pressure as always and Alisik don't.

Adeliya has posted about her Olympic experience on instagram:
Google translation of the caption:
I remember her fantastic Artsakh FP as a junior - it was what first drew me to her skating - and I am glad to have been able to watch her compete at the Olympics, all these years later.

Unfortunately even if ISU would allow that our politics is such that Russians are banned from entering Czech republic.

️Daniel Gleichenhaus on Adelia Petrosyan's injury, sustained shortly before the trip to the Olympics:There was a back injury, she twisted it. We had to completely stop training and preparing for two weeks — she resumed training around January 17-18.
We never fully recovered, to put it bluntly, the same axel that we showed at the Russian Championships, which she performed well there.
That short program at the Russians personally made me think that we were on the right track.
Both before New Year's and in the first days after New Year's, it was clear that she was starting to gain good form, that the axel was calm, stable, with the spins it was just a question of how to put together three ultras in the free program. We thought, if necessary, we'd do two.
And then — and all of this came to a halt. This wasn't a peak, it wasn't her best form, so there was no such thing as us coming here 100% for the gold.

Absolutely ridiculous. They just can't help themselves. What even is their rate of broken skaters at this point? At least 50%?

Even if it was what’s the difference between Russian skating and skating anywhere else in the world? No Americans ever skate injured! No Japanese? Czisny didn’t go to worlds and fall 5 times because of injury? Flatt didn’t go to a gpf and double every jump because of injury! Now petrosian injury being used as reason to keep Russia banned because skaters skate injured there
