Damn, I miss her...
Yes I do too.Damn, I miss her...
3A attempt?
Nastya probabky deleted the post, it's no longer available. It was a 3A landed forward, so <<, but intersting she's trying that.
Well she never officially announced retirement, did she?Nastya probabky deleted the post, it's no longer available. It was a 3A landed forward, so <<, but intersting she|s trying that.
I thought she did.Well she never officially announced retirement, did she?
I doubt she considers that but if she would, she competed at the previous russian nationals so she wouls have to wait for another year (two years period since domestic nationals/international competition).The question now is can Nastya T transfer smoothly to another country?
Damn. She can't catch a break.I doubt she considers that but if she would, she competed at the previous russian nationals so she wouls have to wait for another year (two years period since domestic nationals/international competition).
But if she can find a country that will cover her expenses for expenses then go for it.Well she's still young but in her case money is a problem, unfortunately..
Well, if these are the kinds of injuries that heal over time (like soft tissue or stress fractures), then as long as the motivation is still there, she should be able to return, but if these are the types of injuries that won't heal, like Zhenya Medvedeva's permanent lung damage from covid and fused spine, then a year off won't matter.But if she can find a country that will cover her expenses for expenses then go for it.
There are many countries that would take NT. But if she has to wait a whole another year or so to transfer then it probably won't happen
The Republic of Georgia reportedy covers all expenses for Nastya G. Why wouldn't the Belarus or Lithuania or Finland or Kazakhstan take someone like Nastya T who is only 17?Well, if these are the kinds of injuries that heal over time (like soft tissue or stress fractures), then as long as the motivation is still there, she should be able to return, but if these are the types of injuries that won't heal, like Zhenya Medvedeva's permanent lung damage from covid and fused spine, then a year off won't matter.
I know her GoFund Me was an overall disappointment as far as reaching her funding goals, but like you said, if a smaller fed will pay for her training and apartment, I think she can at least generate enough on GoFund Me to cover food, phone, etc. and she should be able to compete for a long time in a nation with fewer top skaters, and there wouldn't be as much pressure on her to break herself trying to master Ultra C elements. She would surely boost the popularity of the sport in that nation as well, and that might open up ice show opportunities for her there, plus advertising endorsements, etc.
I just miss her skating.
I'm basing that on the interview she did back in October or so with the (maybe 40-year-old?) journalist with long dark hair that I watched on YouTube and deciphered as best I could with auto-translated closed captions. According to that garbled mess, she competed at Russian Nationals while injured and then pulled out of Russian Cup Final because of those injuries and then stopped competing because of the injuries. It's entirely possible that I misunderstood the auto-translate captions, but that's what I took away from it.The Republic of Georgia reportedy covers all expenses for Nastya G.

Kazakhstan lost lillabet a world class skater when she retired. She has not been replaced from what I know.
Many of these skaters still live in train and Russia but represent another country internationally. Not bad.
But I don't know about any injury problems with NT. She was supposed to be doing a 3A recently. Why do that if she wasn't planning a comeback?
