Can we refrain from pointing out a child's weight and body? Thank you.

I was more referring to Eteri's students. However, under most law, she is still a child
But actually let's not comment on any skater's weight, it's better for everyone.
Thank you for the report, but this is either the same old article that came out and was posted here or in the Evgenia going to Toronto/Orser thread pretty soon after the announcement, or a rehash of that article. Don't have time to search for that post right now.
Depends on your definition of what a "fact" is. If you can accurately calculate a person's weight and waist size from instagram and call that a fact, then you might want to revisit your definition.
Saying someone gained "a lot of weight" and comparing her waist size to 13-15yr olds isn't going to win people over. If you wanted to say she looked like she put on some muscle, then say it and not "OMG, she's huuuugeeee".
Skater's bodies come in different sizes and change over time, judge the performance not the instagram photo.

She has gained some weight but I think that's their goal. I guess Brian and Zhenya would try to accumulate some more power in those jumps! :agree:
The only ifs article I could find is this one : https://www.ifsmagazine.com/medvedevas-move-russian-reactions/
I think it repeats a lot of what’s in other articles, but I didn’t remember some of the details I pointed out. But hey it was still to read.

I‘m sure Zhenya will be fine. Orser and his team knows what they‘re doing and Zhenya does, too. If she gains more muscles that‘s actually very good. I agree that weight is a sensitive topic, though, especially in figure skating. After Gracie and Yulia... well, it makes me a bit uncomfortable to talk about it like that, especially comparing Zhenya to other Eteri girls who are mostly pre-pubescent or in the middle of puberty. It seems a bit wrong to me, to be honest.

Yeah I think some of Brian’s comments were new actually! I don’t remember him saying he gave Gabby a heads up for example

She said that added a little more weight, you can also see in her legs the increase in muscle mass compared to 2015/2016 when her legs were very thin. She has already passed through her puberty. About her waist, it's just her anatomy, she doesn't have many curves in that area.
She is also drinking milkshakes, as we saw in the last photo, maybe they are fortified with proteins and vitamins. She looks healthy and I love seeing her chopping sweet food or ice cream. She still has a thin and elongated frame in her extremities, I think her "final shape" also depends on the shape of the dress she wears, sometimes I feel that there is a lot of stuffing in the upper part of the dress and that affects the perception, when she balances with a pompous skirt, curves are added to her hips and her figure becomes much more feminine and mature, as with the Leftovers dress
Sorry, I like aesthetics a lot, and I love seeing Zhenya wearing beautiful costumes.
for some reason I would love to see zhenya in a black dress with a collar, long sleeves and an uncovered back, like this , or this, also this :luv17:

Yeah, me neither, as well as the part with Tarasova: he may have mentionned her (not sure though) but I don't remember him saying that they'll keep in touch to speak about Zhenya

Those of us who have been following Zhenya closely know she's been working hard this off-season, and even harder since arriving at TCC, in order to be strong and healthy for the new season. This is what matters to me, not her weight.
It is strange to compare asthenic Znenya to skaters with different types of body and metabolism and style of skating.
May be one of the reasons why Zhenya mentioned Kim Yuna it is because she was strong, healthy and graceful without big muscles with Orser.

Exactly! I want Zhenya's body to be as strong as healthy as it can, so she can get power into the jumps and stamina to execute her programs to the full. Her weight and the size of her waistline are irrelevant to me.

Oh my god
What does she say to Alina at the end?
Oh my god
Privietnik. It was her first message on Twitter after social media break right before the news about her moving to Orser was leaked

Oh, I see. I‘m no Russian, though and google says... weird things, so what exactly does „Privietnik“ mean?

I think it means « hello » !
