Hi guys! YESS I HEARD THAT SASHA LEFT ETERI!!! But I will have to discuss in the next video because this one was uploaded yesterday 😅This is a Russian Test Skates review and please know there is ⚠FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING⚠ on this video since the production for Russian test skates used a lot of strobe lights.
Please post as soon as possible
Poor Paola, something crazy always happens right when you finish a video. I'm waiting for your reaction!
no surprise on here tbh. It was expected. Trusova does not have any interest in competing again since Russia is banned internationally . We all saw that she was out of shape at test skates and plus the program that Tutberize gave to her was horrible on so many levels. My prediction is that we wont see Trusova in competitions anymore
@@Ardit-kq4bt I think you're wrong on every count. She seems as if she does still want to compete (otherwise why not retire instead of going through the whole process of changing coaches).
She is not out of shape, in fact I thought she looked fantastic at test skates. She looks like a normal 18-year-old who is maturing both physically and as a performer. Also, she had a shirt showing her midriff at test skates and she literally has a flat/toned stomach. Everyone saying she's fat is just contributing to the prevalence of eating disorders in figure skating. She isn't a child anymore, I don't know why people expect her to look like she did at 13.
And her test skates program is a matter of opinion, but personally I loved it. I thought she brought a degree of sass and even sexuality that we haven't seen from her when she was younger (of course, that would have been inappropriate, but my point is that she's growing up and experimenting with a new style), and more importantly she looked relaxed and like she was having fun. She had a very impressive 2A and cantilever even with her back injury.
@@theatorrisi9695 exactly. she looked fantastic and performed exceptionally well for someone with back injury. People please stop calling skaters fat (trusova, valieva etc). Anorexia is already prevalent in skating world, we dont need more unhealthy, unhappy skaters
russian figure skating feels like its own reality show
And it’s even more chaotic and scandalous 😰
Russian figure skating is dead at the moment. None of the skaters was in shape . Probably they will be banned for another couple of years from international competitions
Dance Moms honestly could neverr
it is... a terrifying place in reality
@@Ardit-kq4bt they are not supposed to be in shape . You never watch figure skating , right . Too early in the season
That picture of Eteri hugging Kamila always give me the chills. It reminds me to Mother Gothel hugging Rapunzel
The only time I’ve seen her genuinely hug someone was Zhenya at PyeongChang 2018. With everyone else, she’s the evil stepmother.
Just you have stereotypes about Eteri built by envy media
@@rrgElias011 Eteri it’s a bad person in fact some of her old students have talked about how bad of a person really is
More like Eteri being Abby from dance moms
Почему?...
Some people have kardashians, we have Russian skating.
So proud to Sasha for finally coming out of her shell with her program and for getting THE HELL away from eteri.
Same. This woman is evil. She treats these sweet young ladies as if they're products, not human beings. I'm surprised this woman hasn't been investigated for her methods.
Because of Eteri you know Sasha. Think about it.
@@rrgElias011 because of eteri we also know child abuse so
@@ariherrera6508 What do you mean?
@@birdybird6938 STFU. You know exactly what we mean
It is shocking how many Eteri students are injured or in recovery. Have a knee or hip surgery at 18 is abnormal
That has long been one of the main criticisms of Eteri's training methods and technique. They are not sustainable for more than a couple of years. By the time the girls hit 18 or 19 they're too injured or sick to compete anymore. Eteri's students burn bright and fast but none of them will ever achieve the kind of longevity and legacy the greats of the sport managed.
@@herm712 instead of stars, they're fireworks. Bright indeed but fleeting fast.
Not to mention the hip injury her student had is most common among people over the age of 65 with fragile bones. Definitely not the osteoporosis from starvation 😅
Back pain/injury is the reason Trusova hasn't performed the long program
i think its also fair to point out Kamilas dresses compared to the one that Sasha wore
The favoritism is showing loud and clear tbh
Its prob bc they knew that Sasha is injured
Trusova didn't do the free because of a back injury and said she only did the short for the fans
I was never Eteri's biggest fan, but after seeing Kamila's new FP, I'm now even more disgusted by her. She's trying to paint herself as a victim for something that she caused, and she's using Kamila (a child) as a puppet to convey her own warped version of the story. Umm...toxic much? I'm so glad Sasha is now free from this woman.
It's called exploitation. You are right on target.
How do you know it wasn't Valieva's choice to make? I loved it
@@plp666 Maybe, just maybe, she's gaslit. In any event she was a victim of child abuse at the Olympics from more than one side... and that was just months ago. Are you implying she was capable of making a responsible decision about this debacle? Maybe after being abused, she gained 50 years of wisdom? Or perhaps she got a Doctorate degree in child psychology in her spare time. C'mon Paul... adults failed her repeatedly. That's the unholy reality.
She is the victim and you are a shameless child abuser
I feel Kamila's going to end up in therapy before she's twenty
Just to be clear: in the beginning of Camila's free, there WERE voiceovers of Russian news too, not only "evil western media"
@@SophieS12345
exactly ...the first was channel 1 news and believe and then it is USA's christine brennan
Thank you! It's clearly that this Chanel is trying to make a scandal out of everything and affecting this little girl's live even more
As a russian citizen, I can for sure say that the Kamila situation is nothing more than a piece of propaganda in which they emphasized on “how bad the west is”
Kind of like the trace amount of heart medication in her system was used as propaganda to emphasize how “dirty Russian athletes are”.
West is very bad
aliona kostornaia 🤝sasha trusova
leaving eteri twice
Everyone says Kostornaia will be the one to do a tell all. I think Sasha is the one that could. The two of them were among the top followed skaters internationally. Regardless of anything, what a mess……all of it…..

So happy to hear that Sasha Trusova has left team Tutberidze again. Only I hope that she plans on moving forward and will not be making another comeback. Tutberidze has destroyed the lives of so many of her young skaters. Who many will never recover from her rigorous training methods.
It depends on how much pressure the federation puts on her. THey could cut all of her finding if she doesn't go back. But as she is older and passed the Eteri used by date they might not care, like they didn't care with Julia when she moved- although they did care with Evgenia, even when she was older. I guess it is about Eteri's image.
Sasha didn’t do a free skate because Eteri made one for her about her meltdown at Beijing 😂😂
@t I’m kidding. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that was their intention - some penance bc she basically cussed out Eteri in front of the world lolol
Damn
And Anna's program would be her just standing in the corner being ignored 😭
It is sad that Trusova will now have a career path of Medvedeva. She will come back for 1-2 seasons max and retire due to serious back injury. 😢
Although Zhenya was fortunate enough to not have a meltdown at the Olympics. Still pissed that Covid killed her career
As Russian I can say that the coaches probably don’t even feel like maybe they did something wrong. It is how things are going here. I saw situations like this so many times
What the coach team didn’t do right was to protect her from being set up like this. They should protect her from being poisoned, and follow up timely on the test results.
Some notes
1) Trusova really was not performing on a second day because of her back ( it was hurting)
2) she leaves Eteri because of her enormous training and between lines blames her for her back injury because of the training process
3) the whole thing seems logical because in Moscow not so many training camps and she already hs been in Evegeniy camp + it required for her moving to it and live without her family and dogs, so the only option for her was to move to CSKA
4) Mark Kondratiuk is training there and Sofia Samodelkina, the Sokolovskaya team seems nice on video and she was there many times because of Mark mostly
5) the plot twist is that the official transfer window was in May and right now she cannot change the camp on docs
6) yesterday she brought to the federation the pack of docs signed of all parties but the federation said that she will be performing under Eteri’s camp the following season, but she will be training in the CSKA and Sokolovskaya’s team
7) exactly Kostornaya’s situation in the 2020
I’ve been waiting for this ever since test skates, thank you queen 👑
Who is curious what Kamila spelled with Morse code at the start of her SP - it was word ''VERA'', which means "faith" in russian.
Thanks for pointing this out!
Poor child, I have no doubt that to have such amount of talent and will power, she has a connection to her soul and truth. At the same time team Tutberidze is so diabolical, manipulative and abusive, that she must be constantly living in a state of inner struggle. Even the choice to turn her Olympic experience into ruzzian propaganda against the west is part of eteri's manipulation, use and abuse of her skaters.
Thank you for letting me know
thank you for keeping us updated 💕💕💕
I’m Russian but live in America. I did figure skating and ballet. I was home schooled so that way I could train more. I had skating from 5am-11. And ballet from 1-4. And then back to skating from 6-10. When you are training at an elite level it takes all of your time, sometimes I didn’t eat or sleep for days. When I did something correctly I was praised and when I did it bad I was reprimanded. They would humiliate you infront of everyone. We were weighed daily. They had our weights on a board for everyone to see. It was very into Russian beauty standards (I trained at a Russian rink and ballet school). They wanted us to be as thin as paper with beautiful lines and technique. I was blonde and fair as snow so I was praised while some others with dark hair and tan with some fat on them were unlikely to get a compliment. Our coaches were very strict wanting us to be 80-90 pounds while looking beautiful and have good lines. It gave me an eating disorder that took over 5 years to manage and get better. I have confidence issues and a lack of self esteem while being a profectionist. I have nightmares of my coaches and competing. It permanently messes you up. Being Russian and going to a Russian rink in America where people would be racist and talk horrible about us. Other kids in the area were not allowed to play with us. I hope the skating world changes but I don’t think it will.
Оставайся в прекрасной Америке😂
Как будто в Америке не нужно отстаивать свои границы и не быть жертвой
What Kamila's parents are doing, seriously!? Leaving their daughter with the team that most likely gave her drugs and abandoned her when she needed support. Is propaganda money so good it worth ruining your child's mental and physical health!?
🙉🙈🙉🙈что за бред ты несешь...
Yes. Apparently it is. Russians don't see it as abuse. Russians are doping but don't see it as doping.
@@user-vg1lt6jr8n Irina, sweety, I may not be fluent enough to reply in russian but I am good enough to tell that you have not watch the video. Why don't you watch it before asking what people in the comment section what they are talking about?
@@godzeelaraaawr1664 бред писать каждый умеет, а вот разобраться и понять, для этого нужно пошевелить извилинами. Ну хоть бы головой подумали.
Вам, иностранцам, не понять русскую душу
you're so good at covering the intersection of politics/sportsmanship/drama everything this is. thank you for making videos!
My understanding is that Trusova did not do the long program because of a back injury. Since then, she has changed coaches. So I do not know if that had something to do with it also.
Wait, you're telling me that till this day, the United States and Japan won't still don't have their medals until Kamila's case is resolved 😳 .
Let’s see her reaction to Sasha leaving eteri
Happy Trusova left Tutberidze. Maybe she will even expose her. I hope she find the joy of skating again and it is not to late for her to move to a more sustainable training regimen
game: take a shot every time "hot new bombshell enters the villa" is said
Literally dont understand why she’s playing the victim here. She had prohibited drug in her system that gave her an unfair advantage. She suffered the consequences as she should. Or else it would not be fair competition. She skated beautifully but its just not tasteful. I dont see other skaters making an entire program about not getting their deserved metals just because eteri/kamila decided to take drugs. That hoodie ending is so cringe.
When you say she, your talking about a 15/16 year old, i agree with you 100% but just make sure you target your anger at the right people… which is everyone who is enabling this environment and allowing this to happen. In a way she is a victim, not because of the media outbursts, i mean she was caught doping so no, so no one can really blame the media for wanting to talk to her.. but, she is a victim of the system that had allowed her to, and probably encouraged her to dope!!! I feel bad of what she had to go through because i fully believe this wasn’t her choice. The adults who are responsible for her have failed her and again are failing her with having her perform her worse trauma in a program!!!
I mean, thats my opinion on the situation. Because another thing i keep thinking is what if kamila truly was the one to request the drug (which i honestly think is unlikely) but assuming she did… how would she have had access to it in the first place again she’s a minor, so someone was definitely responsible for stoping this literal child for making this mistake yk.. idk, honestly it feels like a stretch to me that she could have been the one to fully try to dope on her own without someone on her team or even family allowing her to do so… so bottom line it sucks, she shouldn’t have competed because its only fair that she doesn’t and but dont blame her though
By consequences , you mean violating her rights and bullying ?
Completely agree! Soooo cringe. But it is all done for propaganda right now. They know that they are only showing off for Russia right now. So, they know that the audience is going to be on their side. Lol it is so laughable. Evil Russia playing as if they are innocent victims lol
A bully & slander would never understand this for sure.
Sasha left Eteri guys
honestly i thought she would have left sooner
Trusova has a back injury and told in an interview that, if she'd not performed for her fans and her community, she would have skipped test skates because of her injury.
Also I think the world of figure skating is just quite toxic in general. The inside world of figure skating is one of the darkest and least controlled inside the world of sports in my opinion. But this is not only in Russia. Only in the past year Papadakis has talked about the lack of support inside the teams while going through very hard times, the misogyny, we have had cases of sexual abuse, and many skaters talk about their struggles with eating disorders (all of this outside of Russia). Of course in Russia this world of figure skating is no less problematic, but you talk about these problems as if they were only in Russia. As if skaters haven’t had to retired from injuries at a VERY young age from every country, etc, etc
I thought Kamila had a beautiful FS, and it captures the emotions of a young girl’s mental state through the controversy. But I do agree they’re trying to twist it and convince her it’s because of the western media. We haven’t heard the results of the investigation as of yet, but from what I’ve heard they have sufficient evidence of doping. It’s so sad that the adults in her life failed her.
I think it would be different if she had left eteri and choreographed this with another coach. Preferably while she isn't under i investigation for doping anymore.
But the whole "I am such a victim" vibe while continuing to associate yourself with the same people who have done it to you is just not right.
@@notyourbusiness8519 yeah considering she’s still with Eteri, I thought this to be a very bold move and not well received. I hope she follows Sasha and moves to another coach :(
That's the only way she will be able to have a future. I worry she is still being gaslit by her coaches. She's too talented to not have a second chance.
So disingenuous of the team to not take responsibility for their part. That program is pure deflection away from it
I feel there are two sides. For Kamila, the program is about online bullying, for Russia, it is about evil west who ruined their golden girl. It was quite emotional program. I feel so sorry for her and I am so mad at the people around her because they possibly destroyed incredible talent. I cannot imagine this girl will be banned from competition. But cheating is cheating.
tuktamysheva wins for best intro though .. i can't get over her in her lil sneakers just livin it up as the empress lol
Nikita and Viktoria LITERALLY just got married. I had no idea they were even a couple, but THAT'S a thing that happened. O_O
She has been together since 2014.
I can't believe they gave Valieva that LP! Absolutely ludicrous 🙄. Cruel imo. It looked stupid at the end of the programme, pulling that hood over her face SMH 😣
Ошибаетесь, в конце программы Камила снимает капюшон! Это важно
It's called exploitation sickening.
Им не нужно это понять
To be fair, how often were western athletes banned form the international competition as western states brutally attacked Iraq, Libya and all the other poor countries?
Shhh, you're not allowed to write such words 🤣
and don’t forget U.S. funding the genocide in palestine. I’m From Texas/U.S. but i believe the U.S is being hypocritical as our government has destroyed innocent countries as well. but our government loves to keep a perfect image
I’m pretty sure some people are still skating because if they are drafted, they can argue that they can do more by skating than fighting
finally you post about this! literally after it happened, the first thing i did was go to your channel 😭
I heard that Trusova didn‘t skate her free programm because she has a back injury and couldn’t do it
Um any more info on this Boikova/Kozlovskii supposed retirement? As far as I've seen they said they had to skip test skates because of an injury that Dmitrii has, they're listed on the Russian Grand Prix assignments, and there are videos of them training and practicing new programs with Moskvina
I'm pretty sure this was a mistake, they haven't retired
Yeah this video maker Paoloala makes A LOT of mistakes! SOO much false info...jesus :(
Never clicked on a video faster
Compliments for your Mark's surname pronunciation!!! It's finally correct 👏👏👏😆
RUWADA has arrived at its finding, but has not released it, citing Valieva's age at the time of the events (because she is now 16). The next thing is that it will go to court a hearing. Also, WADA put one of the drugs that was found in Valieva's system (but was legal at the time) on the list of prohibited drugs.
Legal or not she shouldn't have taken a heart disease medication, she's an athlete, not a grandma.
@@honeybobmarley1755 other athletes including Elizaveta Tuktamysheva were pretty open about taking substances which were later banned. It seems like the Olympics are largely a doping race to see who can find the newest unbanned drug or who can best hide their tracks with diuretics and other methods.
@@nondescriptbeing5944 They were openly talking about the diuretics they were taking to stay "fit". Those "meds" are not doping substances but they can be used to cover some drugs hence the reason they were eventually banned.
"her team, who _might be_ connected to how Kamila ended up having a positive test..."
as soon as Kamila is a kid skater and not a doctor, they not just might - they MUST be connected to this
I've been waiting for this one!
are you gonna talk about trusova leaving eteri?
This is my guilty pleasure. All the darkness and drama, I LOVE IT! Does that make me twisted?
LOL. I like it for that too, but in small doses. Otherwise I follow gymnastics which is currently more mellow, but has definitely had its fair share of drama.
Same
Yes, because you get pleasure from other's pain.
@@mariaritapieraccini3501 schadenfreude. we’ve become so used to these one-sided windows into people’s lives and struggles.
Such a great video to wake up to on Sunday
Could you please tell me what site you subscribe to so you are able to watch the ice skating events? Love your channel and your perspective!
Great job! Loved your comments ❤
Girl I was so excited for your video about this mess
Ok. Now I’d like to see the japanese and american skaters’ free skate programs about the team metals they still dont have (and might as well never get) because of kamila’s doping.
They literally did not deserve the medals
@@junglesuperstar9270 They literally competed and won a metal at the team event. Unlike kamila who took drugs to help with stamina. On top of that, they still dont get their metals because of someone else’s mistake. Id say kamila doesnt deserve her metals.
@@katietae7366 really . Maybe she could have been substituted by any other Russian lady . OH NO. That was not the plan , right ?
@@katietae7366 Japanese were weak . That’s it .
They only way for the West to get medals is to cheat, in any way possible.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
40 laxatives?? Damn, how are they not all just living in bathrooms?? I can't fucking imagine.
trusova had a back injury she said and there are rumors that she is switching coaches
3:14 love the requiem shoutout
Does anyone know when people will get their medals? Or do they have to finish up more with investigations and what not?
30 seconds in and I know this video is going to be a work of next level art. And 7 more seconds left, it has become confirmed.
HOW DID I KNOWWW U WERE DOMINICAN 🇩🇴 lmao ily !! i've been binging these while doing my warm ups and last i caught up was the 2018 olympics so... yeah... the figure skating drama is way better than ballet. anyway, back to barre. love ya
QUIET QUITTING figure skating 😂😂😂 That's one accurate way to put it
Oh! How I’ve waited for this 👏🏻👏🏻
As soon as I heard that Sasha left...I thought of you! Thanks as always, queen, for the analysis.
Where can you watch these? Like is it shown on tv?
I agree, Sasha's short was so amazing. Glad she's away from Eteri and I really hope all of the 3A gets better soon!
Kamila is embarrassing herself with that new program 🤭
You are a shameless child abuser and slander.
Who was the child abuser? The one who gave her the dope! And the coach staff who let her face the media alone! She is a victim but she needs to point her fingers at the right direction! So should you!
lmao i was so excited to see your reaction to this 💀
I love Mark, hope he gets it together because he's fun, lol, Sasha's face when he kept falling.
I actually love Valieva's program, it's her artistic statement to make and hope it helps her to get it out. And what is going on with Sasha? Hope this isn't the end of her.
So,what happened to the Beijing Olympic games, Fingers skating
Team event?
I am not sure, but to me it looks like she did that step-out after jump at minute 14:11 because of pain (?) it dosent really look like a "normal" step-out
How do you know that Kamila didn't want to do the new program?
“big bad western media” literally defines russian athletes favorite theme rn
Results?
I watch Russian TV because I speak Russian and first channel they always says that Kamila is olympian champion 😂😂😂 this is so crazy
Так и есть! Эта девочка возможно лучшая в истории, американским лошадям никогда не приблизиться
What's saddest to me is that Kamila really has everything. Such a waste.
I LOVE your channel! Your analysis is spot-on. Do you think Camila was ordered to throw her skate at the olympics so that Trusova and Scherbakova could take higher medals?
I personally don't think Eteri herself told her to do it, because of her anger and how she berated Kamila. I bet the Russian Skating Federation gave Kamila a few suggestions.
When she pulled the hood over her face I audibly groaned
"I'm worry for her for the rest of the season" Uhm, what season?? They are no part of the season
I think the author meant the timeline
At the beginning of Kamila's free program there is also a hidden message with the morse code referring to the scandal
No, the hidden message is sent to herself, the work is "Faith". Why do you people make these assumptions? The free program was meant to show the pain caused by all the participants of the bullying that was flung at Valieva and the team coaches and which you are still prolonging.
@@mariaritapieraccini3501 because her coaches doped her? I agree that Valieva should not really be held responsible. Her coaches gave her drugs, either convincing her to do it at an age where she cannot give consent or without her knowledge. Her coaches should be dragged through the mud for what they did to her and to other girls. Furthermore, I do not believe that her prepared statement regarding this program is what she actually thinks. Her coaches should also be ashamed for prolonging her pain by making her do this program. Let the poor girl move on.
@@aaronjimenez7825 You have absolutely no way of knowing anything you are saying, where is your proof? Hearsay from media and blogs is not proof. It is people like you that are trying to destroy Kamila and her coaches with your unfounded hate and jealosy.
@@mariaritapieraccini3501 unfounded? Theres an investigation going on. If its unfounded, it wouldnt even happen. Let’s be real, kamila and the coaches didnt wanna test sample B because they know the results would be positive. Why? Because there are drugs in her system. So it was unfair for her to compete. They admitted it. Not unfounded at all.
Yayyy a fellow Dominican figure skate fan 🎉
Where can i see these events?
Adelia Petrosyan was great too. Will you talk about her too?
Sasha left to CSKA 😮
❤Sasha!
Isn't that where Alena Kostornia wound up? It almost looks like both of them are going over there to "retire" or coach.
@@trollhunter8842 yes I think that’s where aliona is If I remember correctly but I don’t think they will retire but competing and being on top will be hard, but Sasha especially is stubborn so I think she will get her quads back and I hope aliona gets triple axel back
@@trollhunter8842 Sasha and Alyona both moved to CSKA but with different teams and coaches
@@lum148 Sasha's new coach in CSKA has a good experience of working with injured athletes, so I hope they will use this season to recover and start active sports next season
The fact that i basically have (had?) no interest in figure skating but do like sports in general and RUclips somehow made me watch something about the Valieva drama and I have now ended up here watching lots of your videos is definitely something I didn't think would happen. Absolutely mental how political this sport has become in Russia, something I barely had any clue about until recently.
Well done, great videos!
This hoodie routine is absolutely insane. She is still under investigation.
Thanks for the commentary. Test Skates was such a great production. Kamila was just over the top, but I loved it. Great group of skaters. So sad they can't skate internationally. But I can't wait for more from Russia!
I don't like the corrupt judges. So if eteri's students can skate internationally again, I want the judges to call out flutz, floops and lipz.
what do you mean so sad they cant skate internationally??? Russia is causing a fucking war and is destroying the economy of the entire world. Plus Russia will be banned from the next Olympics because of doping if war ends
@@Jeremy-wp4yh If you don't know, Russian skaters were banned for political reasons that they have no control over. It has nothing to do with judging, or doping, or anything to do with actual skating.
@@quatele yes but everything you mentioned is part of Russian figure skating. So if we allow them back, I want fair judging. It's so sad when you see other hard working skaters with good technique not get any recognition.
Test skates made me sad. I felt like so many skaters seemed to really be struggling. Of course, the men, but also Eteri’s kids all seem to be holding on by a thread. It was such stark contrast from last year’s test skates for me even with pretty packaging. After last year’s test skates, I was sure they would dominate. Heartbreaking when the quad queen cannot only not do a quad, but seems to barely be able to do a triple. 😢
trusova has a back injury that’s why she didn’t perform in the free
This became my favourite podcast
same here
It should be on Spotify if it isn’t, I’d love that
just keep in mind there are many false infos in her videos. Lack of research. She didn't even know why Sasha didn't skate FS.
Thinking about the 3A. We all believe Eteri broke these girls, right? And what she did to Kamila should be criminal. Ewwh.
Love your analysis! I share your sadness realizing that beautiful, talentful things can have such evil behind the veil. I also cannot watch Russian FS without reminding myself it's all state propaganda.
just watch the sport....jesus
What a pathetic fool you are
Why you watch it? why you talk about it so??? The Russian will not be in ISU competition, so forget that they exist. and no need to open your dirty mouth about our skaters. Deal?
Great job, as always! Lots of interesting observations.
I'm missing one thing, though. What was your perception of the younger generation?
I loved Adelia Petrosyan! I'm happy that they continue keeping her murky :) She's that dark character, which is a bit weird considering her age and size.
Re Trusova vs Tutberidze...Eteri should be happy that she didn't get punched by Sasha at the Olympics:)
Sasha has a back injury also the dress is amqzing compared to other sasha eteri dresses
is it actually confined that they’re married?
On second viewing, this is a work of Art worthy of a world class museum. Like the Art Institute of Chicago ((distinct from the “art institute of wherever tf” for-profit (aka EssSeeAyyAm) schools. SAIC is a real art school and legit as good/bad as any other 501-C3 school.
I'm really sorry, but are coaches anyhow allowed to the mixed zone press line? I'm not a Tutberidze fan at all (and the whole situation is driving me absolutely mad), but HOW could they accompany Kamila through the media in Beijing?
As far as I remember, in the later training days she was accompanied either by a doctor or by an official who are permitted for this (but not a coaching team).
And yes, there were absolutely no speculations about Boikova-Kozlovsky silent retirement or smith of that kind. They even didn't leave Tamara Moskvina, although it was more than expected.
Me watching you describe how the Russian men are doing and wondering what the gender differences are when it comes to state sponsored doping and the whole weight control stuff that goes on for the girls... It seems like all men are somehow Eteri expiry date skaters by default (which is better than what they keep doing to the girls)
The hoodie PLS AHAHAHHAHA
DID SASHA LEAVE ETERI?!!
