On a nicer note, did anyone here end up sending music suggestions to that email that was shared?
I wish Russian media would follow your motto. Mika himself is keeping very quiet, giving no interviews, no updates on social media but looking at Russian sources you would never guess. Kolyada's name is everywhere, everyone has an opinion of him (unfavourable invariably) everyone has an explanation of his failures and advice how to better himself etc etc etc. Plushenko however hit a new low, while talking about Russian boys in general in his last interview, how he used to catch them, hmm, admiring themselves in the mirror instead of killing themselves at the rink -one might assume he was talking about the boys at his own academia but no, when asked by the journalist who he had in mind, he promptly replied - Kolyada
So in addition to being not a fighter, lazy, not wanting to leave his comfort zone etc etc ... he is Narcissus now
Oh, wow, Misha spent ten days in the hospital? Also, pretty much confirmed that he's staying with Valentina, but said clearly that there were 'extenuating factors' that might have been at play behind the scenes, though he's also not keen on a radical change anyway. On another note, apparently the difficulty will make a comeback, so no more watered down layouts(?).
Hopefully, we can see him in better form, no way to compete three or more quads with the kind of stamina he had this season.
On the other hand it is kinda of sad that he hasn't got someone with a wealth of experience on his side, not someone like Valentina who is on a learning curve as much as Mika is but someone who's been there done that...
I wonder what to make of their decision to bring back 4lz and drop the sal again - don't think he would try to keep both?
Did he say he was dropping the salchow? I only read about doing the lutz again.
But you did see what he said about radical changes, and how there wasn't even a point in talking about making the change. I wonder what happened behind the scenes for him to be so sure now to say that he's staying with Valentina. Also, he said it himself, the biggest problem of all is him. The people he worked with have given him a lot of things to think about, but ultimately is on his hands, and I don't know how I feel about him taking most of the responsibility, but he seems sure of himself, so it is what it is.
The interview!
