Medvedeva leaving Eteri

[Yatagarasu]

If I recall correctly Nikita Katsalapov had to put a lot of his own money for him and Victoria Sinitsina to train with Marina Zoueva for a few years.

Zhenya has the money. It's a non-issue.

She'd be silly to goto Canada, her PCS will drop like a thud.. just watch... and these things have nothing to do with her skating.

Moving to Canada to train would cause her PCS to drop catastrophically to Yuzuru Hanyu levels!

Oh no.... I hear the shippers screaming in the distance.... [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

People should worry about the funding first

 

[Yatagarasu]

What??? Yuzuru has high PCS.

Colonel was sarcastic

 

[Danny T]

Wait, what?

I just saw on twitter: from Sambo70 headmaster Laishov, Medvedeva will leave Eteri but she intends to continue training in Sambo70. What.

This (in Russian)

:eeking:

Well I was not expecting that. Wish her the best!

 

[Spinning]

I guess Eteri finally told Zhenya to go have a baby but she infringed the idea and chose to continue skating!

Well....Eteri said it herself skating is a teenagers' sport. 18-19 women bodies are more suit for having a baby (don't remember the exact words but sth along the line.).

They’re trying to save face. I don’t think Med will stay. To work with whom? Tsareva?

They’re trying to save face. I don’t think Med will stay. To work with whom? Tsavera?

But if she won't stay anyway, saying this makes them look even more foolish though ...

That makes more sense, in some ways; though still hanging around the old haunt after making a break with the #1 coach seems potentially awkward.

New coach, Anna Tsareva.

Yes but logically who else in Sambo 70 will be able to coach her?

I'm pretty sure they want her to stay, because good grief, the embarrassment but if she stays with Tsareva she is essentially burying her career.

Plus the way it was originally announced. Well, we wait. Fingers crossed she chooses wisely, now that she broke the first hurdle.

I also have no idea LOL. This is peak off-season drama

I think the only valid option for her - if she wants to stay competitive - is to go to Orser.

Med is not on par with Hanyu in terms of talent, upgraded tech or artistry development (at least not yet)... sorry to say. Also don't forget how Zagitova magically caught up with her in just one season due to federation support and being the younger, safer and future bet, it will happen again and again, as long as there is another valid candidate from the powerfed. Also don't forget Shoma also caught up with Hanyu in a short time, it is not like Russia is the only fed capable of playing these games.

If say Nathen became unstable due to injuries or early signs of retirement (Yale whatever), what do you think will happen to Vincent's PCS, even if he improves even by a little doing exact same choreography program like Alina did in her juniors. PCS is indeed Political component scoring, like it or not.

Orser got Daleman... oh boy, going to be interesting...

New coach, Anna Tsareva.

Someone please save Pogo as well...

She's literally killing her chances for the 2022 medal. Still no idea about the reason. In her interviews after Olympics she was asked about that and answered with a great deal of confidence that she's going to stay. What could have happened?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Waiting for the announcement that she's switched to Plushenko

 

[Yatagarasu]

She's literally killing her chances for the 2022 medal.

No, she is saving what tiny chance she may have IF she leaves Sambo fully, which is something we need to wait for, and I think there's a huge chance she will.

What chance if she stays? Against all the new, incoming girls? With a coach who has no idea how to train a fully mature skater and probably has no inclination to do so anyway?
