Makes more sense now.
But then it was probably sold after the family moved away, no?
Whatever TAT & Co. are saying about Eteri girls and longevity, it isn't working on Russian parents.
LOL no sane parent would give a bleeping hoot if their kid *only* managed to win everything as a teenager. In fact most parents would consider that far more preferable than their kid toiling into their 20s without going to college/advancing with their lives/careers for the sake of a non-lucrative and short-term sporting career where you will always need to be competing with younger, more physically capable skaters. Skating commentators can talk all they want about longevity, but the difference between a “short” and “long” skating career is 4-6 years. If the difference is getting out at 18 or getting out at 24, give me 18 and an undisrupted education any day. As far as I’m concerned, the ones who manage to win it all early and move on with the next 60-80 years of their lives are the smartest of all.
Really waited for this photo :luv17: I am sorry that I am not so active during the last days, I am travelling this week so I'm having limited internet access, but I know I will crazily look for proper internet connection/staying up at nights trying to be able to watch Alina live. I am so excited for this competition, she looks so relaxed and confident, I just know she will be amazing and I just can't imagine myself missing to watch this competition.:eeking:
