Chen is Karen Chen’s (successful women’s skater) brother. He also skates at MIDA under Charlie White and Tanith White (Olympic medalists). USFS wants the Whites to be successful to compete with IAM in Montreal/Ontario. Unfortunately Charlie (while I love him) has boring teams and even more boring choreo (imo) but USFS is gonna push them anyway. M/C have not been given a GP spot so they don’t actually have as many spots as B/V (thank god). Annabelle’s dad is also a well known person in the skating world. Elena is still kinda an up and comer in seniors so between Montreal (Chock/Bates and kinda Oona and Gage), Scott Moir (CPom), Igor (Zingas/Kolesnik and Pate/Bye), and the MIDA teams (Green/Parsons, Bratti/Somerville, Morozov/Chen) she has a lot of work to do politically. It helps her husband is an ISU tech controller but we shall see. I lowkey wonder if Montreal tries to poach one of her teams after Maddie and Evan retire (or they try to poach Green/Parsons) to keep another American team at the Montreal location and not just the Ontario location. Montreal has Pham/Spiridonov but idk if that’s gonna go anywhere and i think Montreal would want a potentially competitive American team.

Thank you for this!

It wasn't really unusual at all for Russians to train in the US so long as it was with a Russian coach. Linichuk moved to the US in 1994 and coached Grishuk/Platov, Krylova/Ovsiannikov, Lobacheva/Averbukh, Domnina/Shabalin, etc. Ilinykh/Katsalapov worked with Igor and Marina when they were younger and Morozov also coached in New Jersey.

i should have said interesting that they were training here that recently. i was under the impression that it was a different, older generation of skaters that moved here to train and often to stay. so i was surprised that S/K were in Michigan as late as 2016. there are still a lot of Russian dance coaches in the US, but zero teams competing for Russia here, and it was such a big deal when Zhenya came to Cricket Club to train, that i didn't realize the shift happened that recently

I need someone to explain to me how Miki Ando skated in the same time period as YunaMaoCaro and won 2 world titles? How is that even possible? She can’t skate!! Make it make sense?!? 🤯

The power of Nikolai Morozov's politicking and money, that's literally it.

Aleksandra Stepanova & Ivan Bukin are on the preliminary entry list for Russian Nationals; along with their rink mates Shanaeva Narizhnyy and new training mates Morozov Bagin, no Shevchenko Eremenko though. Wishing Sasha and Vanya all the luck! 🙏

The Flutzels podcast is defending Diana Davis saying she’s getting too much hate online for being her daughter’s mother and that sure, nepotism may be a factor in her rise but ice dance scoring is ridiculous this season anyway and that her placement in competitions is close to where they’d have her anyway, maybe off by a place or two 👀 and that they, the podcasters are daughters of a teacher and know what it is to have people be upset with them because of their mother. For me, that’s a ludicrous defense, since a place or two changes podium placements and who’s potentially getting sent to the Olympics. They also said that feds are amoral (not immoral but amoral) and will do what gets them the best result, so since Diana is getting good scores internationally why wouldn’t they send her. I don’t understand int’l judging enough to know this, but international judging isn’t happening in a vacuum uninfluenced by the feds is it? I’m just surprised they’re shrugging off the nepotism. “A place or two” matters a whole lot to the team or two who were displaced by them

I'm going to trade carefully here because pissing off the ignorant and hypocritical parts of fs twitter was enough for one week I'd say LOL.

The way I see it, there are a few issues that I personably have with what they are saying:

Diana is for sure getting more hate than necessary on social media, the rise of nepotism #2 is shameful and underserved but she is 18 and a lot of the hate she's getting stems from her mother being a horrible human (from what we know). Her results are underserved but blaming her for it and hating her personally for it is also not the right way to handle the situation.

"off by a place or two" is a statement that is worthless. It wasn't just about the placement, it was also about the scoring. It we'll go with this statement and place them behind even just 0.01 points behind nepotism #1, it means that their score will drop 11.06 points. So are we really going to pretend that it's just a problem of placement? come on.

Also, one single place lower would change who goes to the Olympics? It's really not something to shrug about.

This is the egg and the chicken story all over again - what came first? Eteri and the RusFed pushing hard for them so they were getting insane international scores or the international judges just waking up one day and deciding that D/S are a top-level team who deserve scores of top 10 in the world. let's not kid ourselves here, there's a huge push for D/S that is troubling because it shows the reach Eteri (and by proxy now Igor) has on international judges.

The Fed will do whatever brings them the best results, that doesn't mean they don't work very hard to create the results they want.

This is seen as such a big issue that the Russian dance world itself had a huge reaction to it. From the comments of Skoptcova's mother, to Skoptcova herself (looking shaky, crying at the end of her skate looking upset, then posting a pic of her crying stating that "it wouldn't hurt if she didn't love the sport so much), to Khuda/Bazin's comments, to Annable's Morozov's face in the k&c, to team Zhuk and Morozov merging to form a political alliance, to Z/G competing in a desperate state, to the crowd legit booing the scores of Z/G compared to D/S. Everyone is seeing what's happening here (hell even Jackie Wong publicly called their placement).

And honestly? I feel for them if they endured hardship because of their perceived nepotism. But you know who has it harder in life? people with no nepotism or connections...

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan reported on July 11 that Iran will provide Russia with “up to several hundred UAVs” on an expedited timeline. Sullivan did not specify the kinds of drones Iran will be supplying. AEI’s Critical Threats Project has provided a quick summary of the basic kinds and capabilities of Iranian drones. Sullivan noted that Iran will also provide weapons-capable UAVs and train Russian forces to use Iranian drones as early as July. Russian milbloggers and war correspondents have long criticized the Kremlin for ineffective aerial reconnaissance and artillery fire correction measures due to the lack of UAVs. Former Russian military commander and milblogger Igor Girkin stated that Ukrainian forces have successfully defended the Donetsk Oblast frontline due to the advantage of Ukrainian UAV capabilities in the area. Russian milblogger Andrey Morozov (also known as Boytsevoi Kot Murz) blamed Russian state media for grossly misrepresenting the availability of Russian UAVs and their ability to support accurate artillery fire. Russian frontline correspondent Alexander Sladkov also complained that Russian forces can build more drones but have not done so.
