Oh Zhenya
You might only have Olympic silver, but the caption is gold.And the nose was most likely hurt in a fall. No bruising in the face otherwise, so shouldn't be too bad.

*sigh* I am not very smart -.-. There WERE Japanese Nationals in which Yuzu didn't participate...it was in 2016. I didn't check the date. I'm really sorry >.<!

Probably just a superficial cut. She looks happy in that picture, so I doubt it is anything serious.
I wonder why she didn’t comment on the bandages b/c she had to know people will speculate.

That would be very funny hahaha. My cat does the same, gets over excited when I caress him and ends up biting or scratching me
.I think it's nothing serious, it can be just a little scratch or just a grain.

I watched Zhenya's FS again, noticed that she has added difficulty to several jumps, in her first 2A she uses a Counter with edge change as Entrance (difficult entry), the landing is bit smoother and fluid than before, and adds a Swing in the exit. She used this entrance and exit a lot in the past seasons.
(This is counted in both GOE and Transitions, so she hits 2 to 3 bullets, and also adds a complex transition, she's recovering form, and going for more:agree

Great analysis!
I just read a comment on a repost of Evgenia’s pic that there’s flu going around in TCC and since athletes are not allowed to use nasal decongestants (may test + for doping), they’re opening up their nasal passageways using bandages.
Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, but better than Evgenia having had any accident. Also, I hope she stays healthy amd doesn’t catch the flu!

The flu?
Maybe Zhenya’s already recovering from a mild case of the flu.
Makes more sense. We know Junie was not feeling good in Helsinki either.

Apparently he was the one who worked with Satoko this summer on her jumps. That was pretty successful since Satoko did not have any under rotation calls at Skate America (but had an edge call on her flip for both SP/FS). I am sure Evgenia is getting all the help from Brian, and if Ghislain would be able to help in the future, that would be great!

I read one comment in English bashing Evgenia for expressing condolences via Instagram saying that a private message to Eteri & her daughter would have been more appropriate. Some people like to be critical no matter she does.

it's really nice
Mrs. P either on this fan fest or on the Russian ladies thread, you posted something about Zhenya being very charismatic in person. Can explain what you saw that impressed you so much?
She's a very expressive and musical performer. For me that was a standout compared to the other Russian ladies I'd see up to that point. When I look back at Russian ladies, the ones that stand out in my mind are Adelina Sotnitkova because she skated BIG -- just kind of express herself through such big ice coverage/presence and then Zhenya because she was really good at performing. I always felt the choreography she had at times shortchanged her natural performance ability.
ETA: Also Liza T. and Anna P for their huge jumps!
