Which Russian skaters(ladies) have?
This is my point with "How far back do you need to go?". The landscape is different.
If Evgenia does start losing next year, it's because of her injury + jump technique that is barely hanging on, not because she moved to BOrser.
I do expect her to have more of a fighting chance with BOrser than she would with Eteri; he has more experience working with skaters well into their adulthood, and Eteri does not. Long-term, I anticipate seeing improvement in her jump technique and skating skills.
She's fighting for her skating. If she stayed the current path with Eteri, she would stagnate, and that would definitely look more like retirement. Too many skaters stay with their coaches past the point that they should, but Evgenia is making the change before her skating and her results suffer - and that's the smart thing to do.
Why do all believe that Yuzu and Zhenya are friends, real deal friends and are just not nice to each other as grown people with proper education? What is this myth all the shippers and non-shippers are trying to create in their heads? They are not friends, they will not go out for lunch in Toronto, Yuzu never did that with Javi and they were closer to each other as Zhenya never will be.
Because it's hard to believe that of all great champions she is the only Russian athlete to have enough brain to gather all the money she could and make a great investment in her own future- that is why. Many still believe she's just a young girl and now she makes this huge bold financial move. That is appalling, how can she?
