interesting
so did she just miss Yuzu so much that she wants to train closer to him?
Look at RBC article. They claim she may change her citizenship to Armenian

well.. if that happens.. some people will be happy since it will mean 1 armenian skater + 3 russians.. so more skaters from the elite at worlds.

I'm 90% sure the BOrser rumour is true. But hey, if it turns out BOrser is neither taking on her nor Boyang/Wakaba it would be the ultimate troll move
There was never anything about Orser taking Boyang, only possibly sending Boyang there during the summer/temporarily. Boyang will stay with his main coach.
As for Waka, I was pretty optimistic when Ambesi said it, but I really can't see both going to Brian, so I'm pretty disappointed there.
Good luck to Zhenya, this is a very gutsy move. Hopefully it will pay out for her.
(And hopefully Polina is really switching to CSKA!)
Dave Lease from TSL said so in one of his youtube videos.

The comment from director of “Sambo 70” Renat Layshev:
Zhenya stopped working with Eteri Georgievna. Of course, we do not like this situation, but Zhenya plans to continue working at Sambo-70, with another coach. We have never limited her in anything, she has good relations with the school, we tried to influence thу situation. (http://fs-gossips.com/evgenia-medved...ri-tutberidze/)
So, only a coach's change at Sambo?

Which other coach would she move to? Anna Tsareva?
Well, I assume it just means she'll be listed with Sambo-70 but training elsewhere.

No apparently she will be representing Sambo but train somewhere else. But we’re still waiting to know for sure. Tbh though I can’t see training at sambo with someone else (who?)

It seem more, at least to me, what the director hope, than what Evgenia is really going to do.The comment from director of “Sambo 70” Renat Layshev:

Oh I know the Boyang thing is only temporary if it's true. I just meant "taking in" in general coming-to-TCC way, not under-Brian-coaching way.
Yeah, I kinda want Wakaba to come to TCC more, but the skaters know best and we're just going to have to go with it
But if she does that, she will never compete at the Olympics again!!
Or does the neutral flag allow her to do that?

If Medvedeva actually switched to representing Armenia, that would certainly help with a long-term plan. I don't think she even could compete until 2020, which would take care of Orser's 1.5 year minimum timeline to show significant improvement. She would have absolutely no threat of losing Olympic spots and indeed could have a very long career, even up until 2026 Olympics if she so wished. That seems like a good move.
The Armenian Fed doesn’t have that kind of clout?

Hmmm the citizenship thing seems a bit fishy to me bc I remember her saying she doesn’t really feel connected to Armenian culture and she’s very patriotic. But at this point everything is possible!
As for representing sambo at TCC, I’m pretty sure Yuzuru represents a Japanese uni/club as well!

Would it? I don't know if it would let her have the political backing. Her achievement as the 2-time WC will fade if she doesn't place next year, which isn't guaranteed. There's a lot to think here, before saying this, IMO.
