Anna Shcherbakova

Also, Anna has never finished below 2 in her senior career internationally? Only ever lost to other Russian skaters?

Spoiler: hmmm

And this is who they want to boot from the team.....

Anyway, the avalance of people commenting in public how much they support her, even her direct competitors, really speaks volumes to her character, she is really beloved in the skating community

"Coolest young woman"

Coolest young woman

I'm excited for that profile she did with Johnny.
As fans we already know all of this (the coolest, Mafia, best family support etc.) but maybe there will be something new in there? And either way, it would be fun to see her in an English (? even though we know Johnny speaks Russian) interview, outside of the usual competition questions.

Daniil's round up post from Euros 2022.
He doesn't name names, but he asks people to be kinder. I completely agree with him on that!

Anna's amazing gala was heavenly. But she and the others should have left Tallinn yesterday after the medal ceremony press conference and returned home. It's very risky business to hang around a locker room and an arena where we know other skaters were testing positive for covid. The gala was unbelievable. Was it worth the risk? Heck nyet!

Poor Anna must have been living in a nightmare after the short:

Anna Shcherbakova: “After the fall in the short program I had a feeling that I had failed everything, didn’t cope with anything and everything was lost, self-confidence was lost.”

Anna Shcherbakova about her performance at the European Championships 2022 where she took silver.

After the fall in the short program, it was morally difficult. Even before the competitions, I was very nervous, but after the short program, I had the feeling that I had failed everything, didn’t cope with anything, everything was lost – and self-confidence was also lost. It seems as if the time before the free program you just live waiting for the next failure.

But Anna is a true warrior, among the mentally strongest athletes in the world.

Perhaps the day of break helped me, and all thoughts remained in yesterday. I went to the warm-up already very charged and tuned for a good skating.
The task of each athlete is to get together at the right time and show the best, the question is how much the nerves affects you. I also had this after the short program – after which I wanted to regain confidence. The skating was nervous, I didn’t lose concentration for a second, I understood that If I got distracted, lose control there could be a mistake on any element. And until the very last pose, I controlled everything to the smallest detail – every jump, every step, so that stupidity would not happen, for which I would reproach myself.

Let's hope her shape will be the best:

Content for the Olympics? My content does not depend on the importance of the competitions, but on my shape. I always need a clean skate, if I’m ready to perform clean a more difficult content, I will definitely go for it.
