So are Eteri and Daniil just going to make Kamila relive the doping scandal?

The end pose of her new program is literally the same as when she got bombarded by the media, and the Truman Show music is too obvious with what they’re trying to represent.

Ilia named himself the quad god and didn’t stutter lol. Damn that 4A is impressive

ISU had to replace two events on short notice (Russia and China), which is completely unprecedented. Additionally, a lot of feds are struggling financially in this still-recovering-from-COVID world. Organising a GP is a decent undertaking at the best of times, let alone on a couple of months' notice. The ISU would have taken just about anybody prepared to step up. It had absolutely nothing to do with Hanyu at all.

Yes, I am very aware.

So I just saw the Grand Prix competition locations for figure skating this season…wonder if they picked these locations expecting low audience turnout since the Russian girls aren’t allowed and Yuzu retired

[venom-s]

Don’t mind me, crying over yuzu’s retirement at 9am.

I shouldn’t be sad though. I saw this coming during the Olympics. Just watching it felt like the end of an era.

WHAT

Ilia Malinin has officially landed the first clean Quad Axel in practice!!

[venom-s]

I know I vanished, but I finally read that interview Alena did and I just want to say

Fuck Eteri.

[venom-s]

TBH I have not watched Worlds at all. Just sort of lost interest after the whole Olympics situation. But I definitely have to catch up! Very excited for Kaori!

[venom-s]

Goddamnit which one of you made Ivan Bukin viral on whatsapp as Babo the blind ice dancer who survived a house fire 💀

[venom-s]

I really didn’t expect ISU to ban Russian skaters, but I’m not surprised.

KING

Ilia Malinin got the short program minimums for Worlds and is good to go now after already having the free program!

My Cryo vision fell off in the middle of the con lobby and shattered on the floor. How much does the Tsaritsa hate me? Lol

[venom-s]

it’s also sad to see how against each other these girls are

to my eyes, alina and evgenia had a great relationship up to the olympics and lost olympics while doing shows in japan. it wasn’t until zhenya went to canada and eteri said the whole “zhenya asked why alina couldn’t remain in juniors one more season” that we saw them being cold towards each other, the ig followings….

i feel like this olympics they’ve been together more and maybe are in friendly terms again, not as close but closer.

meanwhile anna, aliona and sasha looked great in juniors and up to the 2019 gpf

then when sasha and aliona moved to aop things fell apart between them and anna was stuck in the middle of this (and to my eyes anna and aliona are closer)

and kami is just alone because she’s in the middle of a scandal and a media storm

Eteri shouldn’t be training them together during an Olympic season anyway. Orser separated Yuzuru and Javier for a reason.

the difference with 2018 and 2022 is that medo had already proven that she was the best in the world and many more golds to be remembered by (like mao in 2010), meanwhile sasha started the whole quad revolution and was told that when they reached seniors she was going to be the one to beat but has always been out behind aliona 2019, anna 2021 and kamila 2022.

i do not blame the girls for anything but it’s heartbreaking to see. we (almost) finish this olympic a with a bitter taste in our mouths because we have

an olympic champion who felt no emotion at all after winning

a broken silver medalist that had a mental breakdown after everything she’s been through and saying that she hates the sport and will never skate again

a bronze medalist who is happy, deserved more and can’t really celebrate because she’s being overshadowed by this

and a poor 15 year old who had gold in her hands until she didn’t. she’s now left with a positive doping test, a stain in her career which hasn’t even started, and mentally broken

i hope they all leave eteri and go somewhere where they can be happy, see a therapist asap and at least enjoy the exhibition gala to try and make their experience at the olympics from 100% terrible to just 99% terrible

Yup

[venom-s]

“Irreparable harm”

[venom-s]

someone said sasha's "you knew everything" might've been about the team event, given that it was preceded by "everyone has a gold medal except me" - meaning anna + team ROC - and the fact that anna and sasha stayed up waiting to find out who would be skating the team women's free and only found out with the rest of us, but kamila and teamtut might've known all along given that kamila was ready to skate the very next day

Yeah, it’s a bit ambiguous of a statement so who knows.

[venom-s]

I don't really follow figure skating so the last I checked in trusova was with plushenko. So i'm a bit lost rn that she went back to eteri. I hope she leaves eteri and gets a coach that treats her well.

Yes, I hope she leaves Eteri! All of them deserve better.
