I don’t know what to say. I’m heartbroken, but I can’t even imagine what Zhenya must feel. She didn’t fail anyone, the universe failed her.

I have to laugh though, RusNats just finished and the RLT is fighting about a Zhenya related issue.
True
that she is, she can withdraw and still be relevant.

It warms my heart seeing the support on Zhenya‘s Instagram. Aljona Savchenko, Meagan Duhamel, Johnny Weir, and a Russian World Champ in volleyball already voiced their support.
Meagan‘s comment:
You are strong! You‘ll be back! You are a true champion my friend

How could she have finished third? Did one of Eteris Angels bomb?
If so this is a lost opportunity she will never be able to recapture. at least Zhenya did not skate in dangerous skates.
I just got back from grocery shopping and this is getting even crazier. I think this should be a lesson to all figure skaters to try to bring a backup pair of skates just in case. Even if it means slightly more difficult travel they should do it thickest what happened to evgenia could have been avoided. And quite frankly should have been avoided.

Devastated for Zhenya. Hopefully the holidays and her participation in the ice show will help her to get over this.

Well except Euros and Worlds there are only B-Comps which do not count towards SB and considering that Zhenya already has a SB of 225 and is 5th in the SB list she is guaranteed two GP spots, so I guess it is not worth it to her to go to a B-Comp.

She probably doesn't know herself yet exactly what options remain for her. And the same goes for the majority of non-medalists from these National Championships.
First the Wizard of Oz, then after New Year holidays are over, a meeting with Sambo-70 or FFKKR where any remaining state funded assignments to Challengers etc. will be divided.
Then perhaps accepting invitations to more shows, there is a post WC big FFKKR show already in her agenda. Some commercial show performances in Japan, USA or Canada perhaps, anywhere where her money will take her and where she can earn some back?
Most important for her, Tuktamysheva, Samodorova, Konstantinova and Zagitova will be not to loose premier status on the national team. But inevitably, some skaters will get dropped in order to make room for a few new faces.

How am I supposed to figure out what you mean? Are you saying the FED wanted her out of the competition? I'm not big on conspiracy theories.

If I were Rusfed, I would choose Zhenya as the first alternate. Her SB and Grand Prix season justify this, despite the WD at Nationals.

Would she even want that no I ain't got it would take an injury of one of the girls for her to get to perform?

She really should write a book of her life as a figure skater and off the ice too. But I just don't see that happening that's not Zhenyas style?

You are dreaming too much in the Netherland @Edwin. Wishful thinking from Eteri fans, she will not be dropped because of many reasons. Test Skate=national team what she already announced.

Ofc she wants to compete. Other girls would do the same, it´s normal.

Don't get me wrong here, I think Medvyedeva's status is still reasonably secure. But like i've said in another posting, nothing is written in stone regarding next season yet.

Well, according to the scores one of them has lost points as the competitions progress. Imagine how it will be when in Nationals she loses 8 points compared to her last competition. That is why seeing her score today is that we say that if Zhenya had skated as in Rostelecom she could has get third place.

I'm just sad because she could have been on the podium, if not for her boot.
If her boot hadn't been broken she would have been a lot higher in the short program, maybe even in third.
And Sasha's total score wasn't that much higher than Zhenya's SB. Could you imagine if Zhenya had beat Sasha for bronze? Would she had gone to Euros and Worlds?
It's a huge what-could-have-been, and I'm really sad

well we'll never know what would have happened. But that Zhenya never got the chance to do the free skate is the hardest part.
Even if Evgenia or Liza had sneaked into third place because of Sasha's problems I don't think you hold Sasha out of Euros or worlds because of that because her season was too great she won both her Grand Prix events easily and that should not be forgotten. Sasha was also very good at Grand Prix final even though she did not win the gold. The real issue is evgenia did not get a chance to perform her free skate at Russian Nationals where she almost assuredly would have finished in the top five and so disappointing. She must be so empty right now. In disbelief that this boot bit happened to her in Siberia of all places.
