And that post from inspiringskaters has been removed, so I think it is for sure a lie. Which is good, because being a mom isn't easy, specifically as a teen.

Can I just say that I love her new hair? She's got the Wenjing Sui cut; I just got my hair cut in a bob too.
As for her weight, I wish everyone would back off. 37 kilos isn't even a healthy weight for a girl who's 19 and her height, especially if most of that is muscle. The girl hasn't even been skating competitively; of course she's not going to be ready to jump alongside Medvedeva (who also seems underweight imo but that's another topic altogether). As long as Yulia is happy, the rest of us should keep our opinions to ourselves.

I read it somewhere that she received an apartment from Putin ..but maybe I mixed her and Plushenko's story..Plushy received apartment in St.Petersburg after Torino

You are right, except the gifts weren't from Putin/the Russian Federation. It was reported that after the Olympics Yulia received a Mercedes (with chauffeur because she was too young to drive), an apartment and more than $100,000 cash, all from a fund created by wealthy donors and administered by the government to Olympic medalists. She was given another apartment by a builder, it was only a blueprint in 2014 with scheduled completion for 2017. That is the apartment she took possession of a few days ago. There was mention of an ice rink to be built in the luxury complex. According to reports, the builders asked her if she wanted anything, she told them an ice rink. Safe to assume they didn't ask if she'd like anything else.
37 kg is definitely underweight. Achieving healthy weight should have been part of the rehab program at the clinic in Europe. She is older and wiser. https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/adult_bmi/metric_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.html
ETA Yulia is 160cm, or 1.6m tall.

- the prizes from government were Mercedes, national olympic comitee prize(I guess?) and medal (from Putin hands directly),
- she was also awarded with another medal and 4mil Rubles (~67.000$ now) "for merits" to her native Sverdlovskaya Oblast (federal region in which Yekaterinburg lies). She'd been on record saying, she had "no idea" what those merits were. (only Juls could say sth like that
) I think she's become a poster child of Yekaterinburg. One may say those were "goverment money" as well,- she received an apartment from Moscow municipality when she stated in interview she was basically homeless back then. After she and her mom visited the flat, of average standard, they approved and got a call from municipality quoting a price(!). It was a little scandal back then, when she said about this "present" - city of Moscow thought twice and forfeited the money,
- finally, the latest two-room flat from private company (great promotion for them, if you ask me).
First time hear about private fund and chauffeur.

tars, I don't have time now to google every detail, but here are some links for you:
funding for the gifts and chauffeur: http://www.koogle.tv/media/news/russian-olympians-awarded-free-mercedes-benz-suvs-from-government/
according to this article, government officials presented gifts which were funded through a charitable foundation created by a group of "oligarchs." She was provided with a chauffeur because she wasn't yet old enough for a driver's license (18 yo). It was either that or give her a bicycle. I believe she sold the car soon after receiving it. Also mentioned is the standard cash gift of 4MM rubles to each gold medalist. Here is a second piece on the gifts: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...al-at-sochi-means-a-mercedes-and-pile-of-cash
The charitable foundation is a vital underwriter of Olympic activity in Russia. here is a description http://www.olympians.ru/en/15 , and here are more details http://www.olympians.ru/en/15/6904 .
Here is a link to a piece on her recent apartment. http://healthymax.org/lipnitskaya-birthday-presented-apartment/ It was promised to her in 2014 by the Sezar Group when the Rasskazovo complex was under construction, her apartment was completed in rough form recently in 2017. Here is a video of Yulia sealing the deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVzS8HKJLuU , 1:07.
Other facts can be googled, sorry I don't have time now...
I was actually quite surpriced in which stadium the apartment is. Its a bit far from being ready , so probably the main point why they already gave it to her with the keys and this big show video was to support selling of their appartments. I think it will take more then 6months till she can really move in.

It's really ridiculous how thin some of those girls are. The Russian ladies' jumping technique is all about having less gravity instead of actually using your muscles to jump. So it's hard to find any skater over 45 kg. And I don't see the coaches helping this situation - Tutberidze herself confessed to keeping Yulia on a diet of smoothies before the Olympics. So no wonder why she was 37 kg if she wasn't eating!

I'm getting worried---I have thin hope that the ladies are actually on a healthy diet instead of a very restricting, more stressing one. Does smoothies diet mean skipping proper meal? If it is, that's definitely worrying. Do you still have the source where Eteri says the diet thing?
No doubt she is promoting the apartment complex. They don't agree to build an ice rink for just any tenant. Construction is on schedule, in 2014 they targeted completion for the third quarter of 2017 (the third quarter begins July 1). The construction quality is incredible. Even the interior walls are block, 11' ceilings. It's in a forest preserve with lots of wildlife. Interior design of high-end projects is left to the owner. The showing of the roughed-in apartment a few days ago was to let her see what she has to work with. Things are about to get exciting--remember this?: https://www.instagram.com/p/6k1WneELQA/ Home sweet home.
I think Elena, Liza, Polina, Anna, Sotskova and Evgenia look fine. Alina is a little girl. Even Evgenia has muscular legs now, and her jumps look better than when she was super thin, plus she has a lot of energy, she competes a lot, at highest level, and with the jumps at the second half. IMO the only one who looked underweight was Yulia this season. I think because of the injury she had or because the jumps were not working they or she wanted to try to get her to lose weight to see if things were better.

Have you seen Elena, Anna or Adelina? They all look fine. I've recently watched old Evgenia's programs and she has always been short and thin so I guess it's just how she it (also she really got some leg muscles). Also it's not like only Russian skaters are skinny as it's general problem among female figure skaters: when Kim Yuna started senior career she was 162 cm and a little bit more then 40 kg. Also IIRC Gracie Gold made a comment about eating disorders among figure skaters
yeah , I remember this and the dress the season after
I wonder if she will choose to her new apartment also the same style of colouring.... I bet not anymore , she realy matured here it is the part what Eteri said that time in some interview https://www.kp.ru/daily/26695/3719837/
and the fiber powder what she mean is actually this : https://www.squeezy-nutrition.co.uk/blogs/news/79576899-squeezy-athletic-lose-fat-not-power
you must be anyway terribly hungry to eat just this I guess...
I actually don't think that Yulia was tis season underweight , or not more then other girls , she looked very slim but toned. I actually don't think so she weighted this season 37 kg , maybe she ment by mentioning it her olympic season . Because Evgenia is way thiner then Yulia is , and about similar height ( I think even shorter then Yulia ( and she weights 40 kg ( that what she mentioned once on her periscope ) .
The "problem" what Yulia has ( and Liza also ) is that she is by genetic not naturaly ectomorphic thin. They simply have diferent body composition then Evgenia or Masha Sotskova and for them will be always harder to keep in the limits which trainers set for them as "perfect weight for figure skating" .
Maybe that is old news. Because Evgenia definitely does not look as 40kg, she weighs at least 45 but I calculate 47-48kg. And she looks taller than Yulia, Evgenia grew.
eta. Well, I have doubts about Evgenia´s height, but definitely she is not 40kg.
