In the picture he's watching Julia.
He was watching Julia during her performance. Whilst, I'm very glad Yulia is trying something new by collaborating with Maria (and/or any future choreographers). I hope she and Averbukh are on good terms. They worked well for each other.

I guess I'm the only fan who'd be interested to see her skate to Moonlight Sonata some day, although I love her Presley SP. I'm also impressed that Yulia or Tutberidze know about Joseph Williams and that Liza is such a caring and close friend of Yulia's (was impressed ever since I saw pics of them and Elena R hanging out in somebody's hotel room during thse test skates). Considering that they are some of each other's main rivals, I think these girls are saints!

I enjoyed it when g&g skated so it so I'm sure yulia could have made me like it in her program even though I find it very boring just listening to it.

There was a vote on a Russian VK fs group about which ladies SP at the test skates in Sochi users liked best, and here are the results:
Yulia - 35.2%
Liza - 27.7%
Adelina and Zhenya - 11% each
Lena R - 5.3%
437 people have voted. 7.3% of them abstained.

I'm sorry, I'm honestly not impressed by the two new programmes, especially the free. 
I feel like it's lacking something recognisable. At least the short is funny, she's using all her body, hands, shoulders, she's relating to the audience. I see nothing in the free
By the way, Yulia is even more gorgeous!

And thank you for all the links to photos, videos and interview... I had to go back many pages to be up to date

Me too.
I have been reading this forum for a long time, but never had the courage to write because of my English.
I thought that she should call it quit right after Sochi, if I rememember correctly Eteri suggested it to her as one option...
I feel bad for her if I imagine what is behind her new programs - to many battels. With legs ang boots, with her weight (I thing that her diet must be drastic), with puberty, nerves, maybe injuries...
And there is another thing that makes me sad: I never heard her saying: "I love figure skating, it is my life, I can not live without it". Lisa told it many times, for example. I always have the feeling that Yulia once decided to go to Moscau, and than she had to deal with everything, no matter what price she paid for it. But very probably the best results are achieved under pressure, now I feel like as if it were too much pressure on her, too much pressure that she can not bear, and no reason why she should do that.
Her interview was georgeous. I really like it. But it is still strange - compare it to other skateters. Lisa (again, sorry) openly spoked how important for her is her couch, what is her mother doing, how she used to live, about injuries, she openly speak about her past, present and future. Adelina the same. Not Yulia. Actually, we know very little about her, only that she cried when she moved to Moscau every day. Why was it so difficult for her? Because of money, training, or what? Or her mother, why she never say anything? It is strange.
I am really happy she won her Olympic medal and that her enormous effort and talent met the Olympics in time.
But I am not sure she can do something like that in the future and if she is, if it is worthy.
Hi, Micha! Your English is fine, so post often!
While I appreciate the sentiment expressed above (I guess we all get tad protective when it comes to Yulia), I doubt she would continue skating if she did not want to. But, that's not the point of this post. My point is, that all we can do here is guessing. None of us knows what's on her mind and I get it, it's fun to imagine why people do the things they do, but I cannot help but feel that, in Yulia's case, it's getting out of hand from time to time. All those debates about whether she'll stay with Eteri, why she left Averbukh, about her 'not having any friends' and being only close with her mum...it's all based on second-hand info. So, it's certainly possible she cried when she moved to Moscow, but heck, she would have probably cried, had she stayed in Ekaterinburg, just for different reasons (I'm pretty sure I just botched that sentence, gramatically).
Now, thanks to her success, she does not have to worry about future and that's why I believe she does what she does out of enjoyment - because she no longer has to prove anything to anyone (or to herself). Maybe next year, she'll decide she doesn't want to skate anymore, that she wants to be a vet or a painter and she will pursue that goal.
So maybe, it's time to stop being so worried when we don't even know if there is anything to be worried about and just look forward into the season regardless of whether her programmes are to our taste or not (and bear in mind that nobody has the power to please everytime, not even Yulia, and frankly, it would be boring if that happened).

Welcome Micha
I think we all share concerns for Julia and hope that she is healthy, stable and able to enjoy her life. She really is a special girl who has gone on a tremendous journey. She possesses amazing skills and skates unlike any other. Where the road goes from here is up to her, I'll support her no matter what. I've written about this here several times.
Anyway...I think her programs are fine although a bit underprepared. Let's see what a trip to the states can do. She spoke highly of the freedom there and how creative the atmosphere is. I think we'll know by SA if her heart is still into this. I actually like the FS a lot :yes:
Ps: your English is great :thumbsup:

Could be very well what you said for all I know, but I don't understand why would she have to say "I love figure skating. I can not live without it" just because other skaters say that. People are different and they express themselves in different forms and manners. Some likes to say to their loved ones "I love you" everyday, others don't. I'm in the latter category, and I can assure you I love them and they know that.
I prefer to show my love with actions rather than words. Maybe she thinks and feels the same. I'm not saying words are bad, just that not everybody has to say it. I'm sorry if that makes you sad but shouldn't say or do things just to make us happy.

Eteri goes with Julia, according to Daria Panenkova's "ask.fm".
Considering there is just 12 days between FinTrophy and SkateAm., I'd guess Zhenia and Adian will accompany them?

After her SP test skate, some people commented that it was the first time she was on the ice and looked like she enjoyed figure skating. Yulia seems very introverted and a lot of times it doesn't come across that she loves skating, and I think people sometimes wonder - does she love and have a passion figure skating or is it a job that she does to support her family.

I remember an article about her move to Moscow, how her mother asked her beforehand if she wished to continue with fs, and she said yes, and then immediately thought: "Why did I say that?" Yet I doubt that back then she guessed that someday she'd be able to support her mother and herself with fs. I think most skaters probably have a love/hate relationship with their sport (while they're in the sport). After all, it's very demanding, both in time and effort, quite risky (and sadly Yulia has already experienced just how risky it can be), nerve-wrecking, and, like any subjective sport, filled with intrigue. So it's difficult for me to imagine a figure skater who loves his/her sport without reservations, but I doubt that in Yulia's case financial security is the reason for her continuing with it. I think she always had doubts, but something always made her go on, through serious injuries and disappointments. In fact, I think few adults have shown such dedication to their work as Yulia, even as a minor. So what makes her stay? Well, crazy as it sounds, I think she does love fs, even if she doesn't say this in interviews. And, yes, it does sound almost incomprehensible to me that there are children who are willing to spend all their free time in a cold, dark rink, mastering fs elements, but there you have it. There's no accounting for passions . It's just that indeed not everybody feels it natural to say it out loud. Similarly, she doesn't express gratitude to fans as often and unreservedly as most skaters who are as popular as she is, and has expressed some resentment of the attention she gets - something figure skaters usually never do, but not because they don't feel it, if they get to be in her shoes. I think Yulia simply never says things because one is supposed to say them. She expresses gratitude to fans when she feels it, rather than in every interview, she shows resentment of excessive attention when she feels it, and she doesn't come out and say that she loves figure skating, although I'm sure she does more than not - IMO it's evident in her skating itself. In fact, I think it's her inspired skating that has caused so many people around the world to fall in love with her.
