Yeah, I really enjoyed her skating. Her style was different from everyone else's, and her lutz was outstanding. Really, she was good at all the aspects of the sport. It's too bad the injuries piled up and forced her to quit. I wonder what's next for her?

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?
A 3A?
But how can she not look at what at Nastya G has done competing for Georgia who covers all costs and not want to do the same? She is only 17 and can still have a really good career but probably not for Russia.
The question now is can Nastya T transfer smoothly to another country?

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.
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

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.

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.

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?

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.
EDIT: Found it, She starts talking about the injuries around the 29 minute mark.

Anastasia evaluated the contribution of her coaches:
Russian figure skater Anastasia Tarakanova , who finished her career, spoke about working with different coaches.
— You have had many coaches. What did everyone give you? Can you remember the most valuable tips and motivational phrases at the right moment?
— I skated with Svetlana Panova for a very long time. I came to her at the age of 9 and learned all the triple jumps. It was with this coach that I started at a high level: I qualified for international tournaments, got into the national team, and participated in the first Grand Prix. All these events are associated with Svetlana Vladimirovna.
Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze helped me understand my worth, who I really am. I'll never forget what she said to me: "You're Nastenka at home, Nastyusha, and I want to see Anastasia Tarakanova on the ice!" It stuck in my soul, helped me at tournaments and in life.
Evgeny Viktorovich Plushenko gave high loads, and this strengthened my physics. It became really easier to roll programs.
Ksenia Semyonovna Ivanova always supported me-both in my studies and from a moral point of view. With her, I became more reserved and calm. And how Ksenia Semyonovna helped me get back is a particularly sensitive topic. I am very grateful to everyone, to each of my mentors, " Tarakanova said.
