Yes, this! When I first heard about her Bielmann, I couldn't understand what was going on and why would she do it with her injured back. And to be honest, her Beilmann spin wasn't very good even in her "golden days". And she doesn't even need it, her last year's spins were more than enough.
I really didn't get the Biellmann comment at first, and then I realised it was recent practice, and now, oh, this is so sad. I wish she hadn't tried it. No wonder she was sore at test skates.I'm most upset by Tat wanting her to do the Bielmann spin, that is so wrong. If she wasn't injured at test skates, her performance would have been great.
Yeah, and especially her comment that she was going for something "more lighthearted" this year.By the way, Zhenya mentioned that her heroine dies at the end of her Masquerade program and I looked it up, the "Masquerade Suite" by Aram K. was composed for the play "Masquerade" by Lermontov. In this play the protagonist Nina gets murdered by her jealous husband at a ball, he poisons her ice cream because he thinks she cheated on him, but it was all a misunderstanding caused by other people.
Zhenya really has a theme . Anna Karenina, Tosca, then the story of her Nocturne SP and now this.
I don't think they would have let her. There's this big question about being in the national team and about funding. And judging by the words of RusFed officials they all wanted Zhenya back.Maybe it was better to suspend her career or skip the season so she could get back to Brian later.
Perhaps finally she skip this season but I don't know if they will let her come back with him.
Eteri has Maya and Daría with quads apart Ana and Kamila. She doesn't need Zhenya. RusFed and Sambo just want to hurt her.It's zhenya .. she is not any skater .. even not winning the gold a olympics she is the image of russfed in more than one way ... the only way that russfed was going to let her stay with Brian was if she got good results or if Eteri got to keep her 3A for the olympics... the perfect storm happen .. and russfed got zhenya back with the coach they want ... because eteri makes her ladies mentally strong to win
Yes!Do you guys think Zhenya’s scores will be inflated again? Just to prove that she was better off with Eteri I’m going to miss Zhenya with TCC but I’ll still support her because this whole situation is very chaotic
This is a new start for Zhenya and EG. Eteri has had the worst offseason of any coach in the 136 history of figure skating losing super talents Sasha Veronika and Aliona. I have never seen anything like this! If there was no covid Aliona probably wins worlds as international judges love her and she does not leave EG and TT. But covid changed everything.Eteri has Maya and Daría with quads apart Ana and Kamila. She doesn't need Zhenya. RusFed and Sambo just want to hurt her.
Guys things are confirming. Zhenya really is a hostage to RusFed and Sambo
yes she needs .. maya, daria even ana and kamila don't have the fame of zhenya .. until now they didn't win anything of valueEteri has Maya and Daría with quads apart Ana and Kamila. She doesn't need Zhenya. RusFed and Sambo just want to hurt her.
Um, Michelle and Tara skating forums were brutal. Some of us have been around long enough to remember it.I dont understand some thinking Zhenya will lose many fans because she went back to TT and EG. What was she supposed to do? Keep performing at the test skate level? This was Zhenyas only move. The pandemic changed her career and she had to make this big decision on the fly. I hope it works.
Wasnt everyone here a fan of Zhenya in 2018 at the olympics and not a fan of Eteri? Well it can be that way again. Poor Zhenya takes a beating no matter what she does. Leave EG. fly to Japan return to EG to try to find some skating hope. I dont know how she handles it all.
Michelle and Tara were lucky they were great long before social media and skating forums.
