Because men's bodies need to maturing first before they can handles more difficult jumps (anyone not named Nathan Chen that is). Women's bodies when they undergone puberty Will change, thus their jumps might lose its previous forms and need to be retrained. 15yo champions are mainly Russian thing, as the ladies competition is as deep as it gets. Yuna Kim herself won OGM and OSM at 19 and 23 respectively. Kostner was 26/27 when she won bronze in Sochi. Asada Mao herself retrained her longevity too. It's just that in Russia, you have to be the best to even be able to go to international Comps. It's just a bloodbath whenever RusNats is held

I'd say Anna received enough attention for her 1st place. Liza is in the sun too, and Anna is so much appreciated for her win as they value any 1st place, support Eteri's group and Anna's age and her pre-existing disease, which made it more difficult to perform, made her especially remarkable. Of course Liza's silver medal is prominent and so much valued. She is a role model of patience and stable hard work, so her tears spoke louder than any words. I'd say her self-conquest and silver medal gained the same amount of publicity as any 1st place in some other figure skating disciplines. Btw, noone was sure it would be up to Anna to win, as there also was Sasha Trusova, who is especially sophisticated, and also powerful Rika Kihira.

Anna has already been on a TV program dedicated to the victory of Russian figure skaters at the World Championships. Attention is paid to Anya enough. Another thing is that, firstly, there are other winners - in pairs and in dancing, and secondly, everyone is concerned about the failure of Trusova and the inability of Plushenko to adequately train such an elite figure skater. With a normal coach, Sasha had a huge chance of winning this World Championship. The Olympics are ahead, and, of course, everyone is worried that Sasha with such a coach may simply not qualify for the Olympics, given the enormous competition in Russia.

Anya was also without her mother for the first time at international competitions, but she did not complain and managed, although she was clearly not at ease. Plushenko made a lot of mistakes at this World Championship - he refused to take her coach Mikhailov with Sasha, during training before the short program, for some reason, quads jumped and one content with a trixel rolled, but in reality they refused the trixel, which led to a fall from the 3Lz, which she performs with her eyes closed, and the loss of the cascade. As a result, Sasha was forced to take the maximum risk in the free program with 5(!!!) quads that she had never perfomed cleanly in her life. It's just lucky that Rika fell apart, otherwise Sasha will not see the podium as his ears! These are all purely coaching mistakes. Compare with the work of Tutberidze - Anya takes gold with a reserve even if the content is not the most difficult for her!

Rika underrotated multiple jumps. Anna has a LutzLoop combo in the second half of the program, which costs way more than the triple axel. I hope that answers everybody's questions. Figure skating isn't all about triple axels. Besides, the free skate showed us that Rika isn't mentally ready to win international competitions. Eteri wins not only because her skaters jump well, but also because she's a great psychologist and she knows what to tell her skaters to help them go and nail those programs despite the pressure.

I am Belgian and i have no Russian rootes. First i would like to remember You that ALL of the favorites fell and this makes the role of the judjes very difficult. I admit that Rika was slightly underscored in her short program, but she was the first to admit that her free was a disastre. Why in this condition can't You admit that Anna was clearly less bad and that she clearly was figting to the end , something Rika was not able to do . if You have questions about the artistic quality of Anna , please take the time to look carefully at the final spin of her short program .

I actually enjoyed the skaters who ranked 15th-20th because they skated clean even though they had no quads and crazy programs. I loved Lindsay, Josefin, Alexandra Feigin.. such gems and actually very enjoyable to watch. What's also great is that they won spots for Beijing for their countries that have not been represented in many years at the OG. This kinda makes me look at the event from a positive perspective and not think about the ISU and the injustice we witnessed. Also, I cried for Liza. She's amazing. What bugged me aside from skating was... did anyone notice Eteri's doctor in the background during Anna's free skate? What is he doing there if they are not hiding something or expecting Anna to pass out on the ice?? I hope she's okay and she pulls through to 2022.

haven’t seen a single comment stating that nathan shouldn’t have won. that’s not even a discussion, that’s clear for everyone. but yuzu did two combos, 3lo and he didn’t fall. he still had beautiful spins, stsq, chsq and as always his program was packed with transitions. his pcs should’ve been higher. he was also underscored in the sp. he should’ve been second. yuma did amazing but he also did mistakes in the free and due to his age he’s not on that level yet, but i’m sure we’ll see him develop into a wonderful skater. that was clearly not yuzu’s day, he had an asthma attack and his free skate just has fallen apart but it was not that bad. even if we leave fs out, his sp was definitely underscored, it should’ve been at least 109 which would make him second. but it doesn’t anyhow effect nathan’s win which is undeniable, he did amazing!

You should have mentioned that Yuzu had an asthma attack just before his fee skate ! And my boy still skated and stood in the podium

Honestly, she is going to be under more pressure than most because the Japanese skaters are never scored generously than the Russians (PCs and GOEs) even if they have better technique and skating skills, which rika does. Moreover I don’t think people would be as mad if the rus ladies’ mistakes were called like Rika’s should be, whether marked Q or UR which judges should have done as well. However even so, rika definitely did not deserve to win and I think most people with a brain know that lol. Actually ppl have been also been talking about her nerves and mentality which caused her URs because I’m not gonna lie, she needs a sports psychologist ASAP. If she has one already, she needs a change in training because they are obviously not working for her. It’s the second worlds she has bombed. If she keeps on going like this, even if she’s the top JPN lady they are going to lose faith in her fast. She has huge issues with nerves and it is a very hard for a skater to have a reputation of being consistent but so easy for them to lose that reputation and if they do, the PCs will definitely take a hit. I can already foresee that happening with her. She needs someone to start helping her nerves for her to peak at the proper competitions. Trusova needs this too, however thankfully judges still love her (not as much as the eteri girls but more then the JPN ladies) and when she falls she gets back up with a fighting spirit and continues her program. However rika..when she falls, her whole program breaks apart. She needs some real nerves training for the Olympics coming up 😔

Rika tanked the free. Where did she finish 9th? She gave up she quit something a Russian girl would never do. I will say Rika is the biggest threat to the Russian ladies but she's also a big threat to herself if you know what I mean.

Sasha, I love watching her.. knowing that she also loves herself and enjoying what she does 😌🙌

They didn’t say “fuck the rules”, they carefully studied the rules and found a loophole.

Anna got Gold without a triple Axel or completed quad... 🙄🤔

Rika is not at the level of Aliona ast season. Rika is a lovely skater with under rotations that people forget about. If she was in Russia she would have been passed by by a few girls already the way Alliona has been passed by. But she's in Japan and she's going to have a 10 year career at least because there's no one coming up behind her to passer by. Zhenya Alina Aliona weren't so lucky. ;) Sasha would have won worlds gold without question if she did not leave TT. All she needed here was a 3 quad free skate and a decent short program that scored 75 points and it would have been hers. But I'm very happy on you one even though she was far from her best. We should cut everybody slack because at the world championships in Stockholm nobody could do anything or go anywhere it was stay in your Room or go to the rink. Rika has been to worlds twice and bombed both times. Anna has mental toughness Sasha and Aliona and Rika can only dream of. Bradie 9th? Not a good job. ;) Lucky the US has 3 spots now.

I am sooo proud of Jason lmaoo he is amazing

How one twitter said: Tutberidze: "Daniil doesn't count, he is a club pet" :)). Jokes aside, what I don't like about Anna is that she is almost an industry plant, skating wise. Tutberize ofc wanted another champion and Anna happened to be the only one left in the team that actually is over 15 and competing. So, guess we had a new world champion. SP proved that loud and clear. And in the FS, oh, how lucky she was that Rika and Sasha did the errors they did. Because she couldn't even land quads, let alone a 3A. But you can see already that she is meeting the usual "expiration date". I bet she is the new Mededeva and she will be so lucky if she manages to grab the OGM and then I doubt she will manage to keep on. And her skating - over scored and repetitive. If next year we see again "sad soundtrack" programs, I will be so dissapointed, but not surprised. And how she did the interview with the whole team behind her while Sasha and Liza without even the one coach they had - she gave this vibe of "very controlled skater by its team". Like for eg you can see that Liza is in complete control of her programs and choices. Sasha almost is getting there. But Anna? Oh no, I bet if Daniil will giver her "wheels on the bus" to skate to and Eteri will make her jump 56hours a day, she will do it regardless of her opinion or discomfort :)) Nothing against Anna though as a person. She does what it takes. And she is only a teenager. The mechanism though behind this whole "champions of Tutberidze" is sth I completely disagree of- because while the results are there, the soul and "legendary stuff" is not. I bet in 10 years people will forget about many of the "Eteri champions", but will still remember other stars, that didn't even had the same "succes".

I feel bad saying this but I think part of the reason Rika doesn’t outpace the Russians despite her beautiful skating skills and elements is because her packaging isn’t that great.

Once upon a time, when Carolina Kostner was young and shining, in one broadcast а commentator said (it was Tarasova if my memory serves me right) that the judges know what way the skaters went and notice when their skating improves

Rika underrotated her 3A and the 3T in her combo but I think she could have had a slightly higher components score. Anna had that 3Lz + 3Lo in the second half, which was her most difficult jump and worth the most points. I'd say their components score should have been around the same, but cleanliness of elements also factors into the components score as well. So I agree with the final standing after the short but perhaps the gap should have been a little shorter.

I'm a "casual" Figure Skating fan ⛸ Basically watching major events like the Olympics, so I've learned SO MUCH since discovering your channel a few days ago! I fell in LOVE with Evgenia Medvedeva during Pyongyang and was absolutely devastated when she was not awarded GOLD(I cried right along with her). So after that I became obsessed with all these young Russian female skaters that were coming up, especially Sasha who was doing quads(not that I can really tell the difference between any of the jumps until Johnny Weir tells me). Anyways, I had no idea all the DRAMA going on behind the scenes! But as much as this drama is as intriguing as an episode of The Real Housewives, it is so sad for these young Russian athletes who sadly will probably have shortened careers due to the constant influx of new, younger skaters and the physical damage to their bodies. However, I'm still rooting that Sasha might hold on and have a chance at an Olympic Medal🥇and an extended career... She's fun to watch!

This is an alternate world where Ladies event was a mess even worse than men 😂. Ngl, men's FS was cleanish and enjoyable. Ladies' is... Let's just say this FS never happened 😶😶 Okay, let's get to my view about ladies FS: - Sasha literally went 'go big or go home' and it rewarded her nicely. 3 landed quads out of 5. Her placement went up a lot. Empty program, but understandable as she was focused to nail those quads. Good redemption (not at the level of Nat's redemption, but very good) - Liza, empty program too. She's just not that developed in artistry and musicality. Beautiful jumps and technique tho. Also that KnC was touching. Her 6 years waiting was finally paid off. - Anna fell once on that 4F, them ditch her original layout and did triples only. With a bonus Alina's trademark. She was clean, she was showered with GOEs. She was traveling when she spinned. Very good skate tho. This girl is as clutch as you can get ngl. Now onto the JPN ladies: - Rika. Underrotations, losing level on spins and StSq, fall. She choked. Underrotations has been her problems for a while now. Unless Lambiel can fix her asap, she has to say goodbye to her chance at Beijing as TP was scrunitizing the JP ladies hard yesterday and looks like they won't let her (them) off easy. - Satton was a mess both in SP and FS 😭😭. She looked so down. I hope she was alright and can bounce back. Idc about her jumps, i just wanna see Satton mesmerize us with her sublime skate. - Kaori looked the best out of the 3. That flutz was called tho Overall JP barely hanging on their 3 spots... Notable mention: - Loena and Karen. Clean programs. Very enjoyable skate. Karen saved USA their spots 👍👍. Hope USfed can choose her for Beijing. She deserved it IMO. Conclusion: The ice is slippery. Anything can happen. The Russian ladies might sweep here. But who knows w/e will happen at Beijing?

Yuma is so cute

Drama sells. The media doesn't give a shit about the girls, only drama that will get viewers, even when they have to make it up. The girls are pawns, and this is heartbreaking. They sacrifice so much, and by the time they retire, you can see that the love and passion for skating that motivated them is gone. That said, I adore Anna, and loved seeing her win. Win or lose, she's my girl.

Expiration date sounds so rude, omg She said she wants to compete after Olympics and to have a long career. She is not a Zagitova case, where Alina was just tired of skating and she had no passion. But Anna is obsessed with skating, even when she had her leg broken, she went to ice rink everyday just to see the ice Plus, she had covid, OF COURSE she looks weak and unhealthy Yes, she might not be first, if EVERYBODY else just literally failed their jumps multiple times and didn’t do so many mistakes

She would not be 5th. You might not like her but look at the other skaters performances. This was just not the best competition for most of the ladies.

Here to wait my girl's 3A comeback cmon girl

Isn’t Sasha the one pushing to do 5 quads in her program? I thought she wanted to do that even when she was with Eteri (I could be wrong). So if anything, Plushenko is supporting her by crafting a routine around her strength: her jumps.

and it's not going well for her she should've tried only doing 2 quads but all for the fans i guess

To be honest Anna has always beaten Sasha even when they were little and neither of them were with eteri yet. She just wasn’t hyped by the media, that’s all

I'm glad that Sasha didn't finish higher than 3rd. If figure skating is a sport where you can fall multiple times making your program look pretty bad but still win, it would be ridiculous. Even 3rd place was really high, I think she got lucky that there were lots of falls from the other top contenders

I take the opposite stand here: If they never fall, the technical difficulty might not be challenging enough. If you are on the border of whats physically possible (clean quads), errors are to be expected. Not overly penalizing errors make the athletes take risks and the skates’ technical complexity goes up. Good for the sport, and much more entertaining to watch

@@chamallow989 I can follow your point, nobody wants to see 2 falls as Sasha did. But then remember Sasha at Skate Canada 2019: Fell on the 1st quad, got up, did the remaining skate cleanly, set a WR (166 p), won the competition. It was epic!!! - and beautiful despite the fall. So, sometimes there is only a thin borderline between criticism and praise. Will not hide the fact that I admire Sasha a lot. So much talent and courage, and she seems to be a very special and independent character also. Regarding pushing limits and healthy environment ... oh, it's such a big topic. But yes, you can push yourself too hard, progress steeply, and peak at 16-17.Tudberitze girls in a nutshell. They probably train so hard that they can delay the puberty for 1-2 years giving them a physiological benefit. But I am quite certain that some of these girls will have long careers. Again, Sasha seems to be a force of nature, so she would be my best bet in that respect.

Maybe it is because Kostornaya's Axel is much better than Kihira's? With better entry and quality. Maybe because Aliona did Not have underrotations? Maybe because Aliona is flying over the ice? How can you compare skating skills and transitions of Aliona from 2019 to Rika? Hoooow? So you mean that we should give medals to skaters who work hard? And we should ignore skaters who is simply better?

As a recently new FS fan (I mainly photograph competitions in Switzerland and italy) I can say that these Worlds were very anticipated (I was very excited and anxious about them) and were full of dissonant moments. I wanted Sasha to land all the amazing jumps perfectly and smash everyone else, but I wanted Rika to win as wells as Anna to be rewarded too. I wanted Kaori to slash the judges head off. And, I wanted fair judging and error called out. So kinda impossible here. In the men I wanted Yuzu to get the crown back, be happy, be the best and beat Nathan. My dear please stop with the 4A thing and focus on beating Nathan. I know you can! At the same time, Nathan is so consistent and he’s a cuteness overload that I wanted him to keep the crown too. Again, it’s just crazy that he won essentially moving around the rink and jumping just like Sasha. Plus, all the other top 10 men (Yuma my dear, you’re a treasure) here outstanding and essentially, we reward Nathan only because he can cram 5 quads in the program and have the stamina to sustain them. I mean have you seen how Jason and Keegan moved? They were on fire! Plus, I wish the Italians would really step up to the game. Gosh, they did really throw away the medal at the Europeans in 2020 and now the top 8-5 spots. What a shame...

Nathan’s choreography and artistry is underrated. He does more than “move around the rink” and jump. His style is just more clean and minimalist not the flashy style that is popular in men’s today. Not sure how so many ppl can’t see the quality of his basic skating skills and his interpretation.

​@@katherinetan4587...I completely agree. I mean, some think that unless you're trussed up like a peacock and are in-your-face dramatic in your interpretation of music then it means you have no artistry. Seriously??? There's more than one style of art in this world. Nathan has a very refined style of elegance to his skating. It feels very modern and refreshing. He skates fluidly, but cleanly and with absolute precision. I love that about him! I also love his versatility. He can be simple elegance or just darn straight-up COOL at times. Overall, I view his skating style as a more masculine one...very much the opposite of Yuzuru's more flowery style, and whichever you prefer is entirely up to your personal tastes. Some love heavy perfumes while others love light, clean scents...but to say that Nathan has "no artistry" or "only moves around the rink" is a complete joke. I guess some people just have no clue how to appreciate a more modern, subtle form of art.

I thought I was ready for this championship, but oh boy... Nice video though, made my mood better.

global panini had me dying🤣🤣🤣

I don’t understand much about the scoring in figure skating, so I just wanna ask: is it normal that Anna had almost the same score that Trusova in the free program? Because I mean, she fall on the quad jump and her spins didn’t go so well, and even though trusova fell two times, she had 3 quads, but seriously can someone explain? Thanksss

@MsVanhellig

Simply put: Anna is kinda overscored, especially considering her sit spin which was very wobbly but still got a positive GOE. Also, Anna typically receives more points for artistry than Trusova which completely makes sense since she is more artistic, ballerina-like. That way they almost even out the score. Hope this makes sense..

Because what was landed bring a lot of pts. Look: 4F - 12.57 4Lz+3T - 19.48 !!!!!!!! amazing cascade 3Lz+3T - 12.63 Anna's best: 3F+3T - 11.24 3F+1Eu+3S - 12.55 3Lz+3Lo - 13.65 Also Anna went to 2A 2 times, that jump is not highly rated. For Anna scores for that jumps was 4.34 and 4.29. Sasha fell on 4S 3.99 and 4Lz 4.52. As u can see, even if u fall on quad it still costs like a solid clear 2A

Also Sashas 4T+1Eu+3S has a lot of penalties. 4T in that cascade was downgraded to 3T cuz of hudge under-rotation. And yes PCS for Anna - 72.85, Sasha - 66.34. So overall they was close

Scherbakova is overscored in every single element, spins, choreo, jumps,. Flutzes, sequences....If she wasnt overscored she would end in 5th place...

Why are people so mad? I can't prove or deny anything about corruption in figure skating, but let's pretend like judjes are actually "bought". So what will change? Rika did a beautiful sp, but she fell from 3A on her fp, when Liza did clean 3A, and another one not that good. Anna and Sasha do quads.Even if they fall, they have tremendous "starter points" of any quad jumper. Soooo, basically nothing would change. I personally don't like the system. I would really like to see more profound skating skills and not the quad jumping in ladies skating. But why are the girls "bad"? Go fucking reform the system..

I don’t really worry about Anna’s expiration date tbh, Evgenia competed at the olympics at 18 yo and she also hadn’t been in great shape her whole season - so I’m guessing Anna will be fine?? And if not we all know there’ll be tons of girls fit to take her spot lol

Anna's birthday literally just passed on March 28th - happy 17th birthday to her!

this is perfect i litwrally just finished binging all ur videos and now theres this gem C:

Did anybody see there were two coaches with Rika? What's the problem that there were three for Anna and Moris?

Am i the only one who doesnt like Sasha? She has perfect jumps, but doenst transmit anything while she is skating, the position of her hands are vey weird..
