She's more or less obliged to, or they'd say she's on high horse or something. That's what low quality journalists do.
Also, I want to die please save me, some ppl said Zhenya lost because she was lazy, if she was she wouldn't have a stress fracture in the first place.
Said that she can't do -3lo combo, and that something she did plenty in practices, maybe not much after injury but she did it earlier in the season.
And some people had some unpleasing comments on Alina but they want Zhenya to stand in and say "Alina deserves to win"?????? She already congratulated her, and by no mean she's obliged to say anything about comments of ppl about her or her rivals.
She herself has gotten nasty comments too but did any of her rival said "she deserves to win?".
Yes, some people left nasty comments on Alina ( why not the judges?) in the form of nasty criticism and not a constructive analogy, go drag them, why do you turn on Zhenya for that. They should defend Alina but they choose to do it by downplaying and badmouthing Zhenya.
