I don't get how Eteri and co. can give Kamila a program about the "evil west" scrutinizing her when it was them who threw her to the wolves. The audacity. She only had to pull down her hood to cover her face because they left her to deal with the media all by herself. One of the coaches should have been with her at all times since her parents couldn't be present. I also don't think that a (then) 15 year old would come up with the idea to take a banned substance all by herself. How much she knew will always remain a mystery, but it was the adults around her who put her in that situation. Sadly, it seems like she's gotten completely brian washed by the Russian narrative around her and is being used for propaganda. She's a product of the twisted system she grew up in and may never even realize it.

She is still talented, but not 50+ points ahead everyone else like they tried to make it look last year

Trusova has a back injury so she didn't skate the free. Hoping she takes this time to rest and doesn't overwork herself. I liked her short this year because it was just fun and she doesn't have any reason to take herself too seriously this season since they can't compete internationally.

I feel like it will now be a rite of passage to for every skater to have a Tango de Roxanne program. Way to many tango programs anyway but that one is the 2000's version of Malaguena.

Semenenko is dealing with a leg injury, so that's why he didn't jump quads or a 3A.

I'd be ok if she received a lifetime ban from all ISU sanctioned events after this latest stunt.

Producer Yana Rudkovskaya appreciated Kamila Valieva's free program dedicated to the Beijing Olympics. “As for the topic of Camila's free program, this is a debatable issue. It's one thing to skate such an indicative number, another thing is to constantly skate this difficult program during the season. How ready Camila is to go through all this again, how comfortable she will be - the question is for her. Even for me, a very strong woman, it is not easy to relive and remember the difficult moments of my life, but what can we say about the girl. But I have no right to advise or judge anything. She is an athlete, a member of the adult Russian team. Since she agreed to this story, it means that she knows that she can do it. Maybe she wants to convey a message to the whole world. We believe in Camila's innocence. And in my opinion, the skater, through the program, through her skating, wants to convey to the world that she suffered absolutely in vain. This is her choice and the choice of her coaches. In Russia, this program will touch the soul, in the world the reaction will be resonant. No one knows how the situation will be interpreted and what the final verdict on its history will be. I am sure that for both the coaching staff and the skater, it was a difficult decision, but they went for it. I repeat, as a viewer, the program touched my soul, I had emotions. Everything else is already a matter of time and the final verdict on her case, comfort, her mental and physical state, ”said Rudkovskaya.

Above all I’m disgusted by EG’s behavior, we know she is problematic but to give 16 yo a program about possibly the most traumatic experience in her life when her case is still pending and the fake tears and hugs to all skaters while in the past she used to hand them their jackets at best, just to show she is not mean, all this is whole another level of problematic !!

I have a honest question : I do like the energy and idea of the Fear/Gibson FD, and they seem like great people, but don’t you find her skating skills are not that great ? You guys often say that about Madison Chock but honestly I feel that Lilah is about to fall all the time, and Lewis is litterally carying her through the performance. So the program feels all over the place, like the movements are not safe or controlled ! Same last year with the Lion King. And I never have that impression with Chock and Bates. Am I missing something ? Since I’m definitly not a skater myself 😅

Of course, Russia should ban its skaters just as ISU did in order to please you. You wish.

My thought for today: there's not enough drama, snark, and tears in figure skating. Thus we need TSL to inject *more* of that into the sport....much, much more! 🤣🤣🤣 Your videos are very entertaining (and insightful), keep 'em coming.

IMHO size is always relevant when discussing pairs and dance, and not in a mean-spirited way. It's something I always notice! Of course, we all know one can't discuss weight these days. Height is always a factor, and I wondered if the Nebelhorn announcer wasn't thinking more of height than weight when he made his comments. Thinking about the partnerships of Marissa Castelli/ Simon Shnapir, Sui and Han, Cain and LeDuc, Hawayek and Baker, and many others. These teams all have different challenges (or sometimes advantages) due to their height.

So after watching TSL this morning, Kamila's FS just popped up in my YT steam. Just her body language after skating it.... It didn't feel like this was her idea but she tried to express her experience through skating but she looked so emotionally drained. I don't like the Dani G choreo anyways but this just felt especially bad and unnecessary

Very disturbing to think about how retraumatized she must be training the program...

Remember when we held domestic competitions to rehabilitate Lance Armstrong’s image? Or when we posted billboards of Marion Jones in Times Square to show our support? Oh wait, we didn’t.

As Kamila put it herself this is her story and she wants to tell it. She was absolutely amazing in this program and there is no doubt for anyone who has eyes she is absolute the best female skater of all, at some cosmic and unreachable level.

Gaslighting.

Russian coach Sergey Davydov spoke about Kamila Valieva's new free program, dedicated to the Beijing Olympics. “Valiyeva’s free program is a challenge to the whole situation that took place last season. This is probably the answer to all the ill-wishers who said different things, wrote and still write. To evaluate this performance as an art... Camila always skates well. For me, nothing has changed here, except for this new idea. I think that yesterday's performance was hard for Valieva, not so much emotionally as physically. Of course, they folded after such a difficult season. Apparently, they gave a little slack, gained a little weight. Of course, this all affects - the skates are harder. And a late set of forms. I think everything will fall into place. I don't think it's a matter of emotions. It's a matter of wanting to move on. The main thing is that Camila should not be cut off by all kinds of media, conversations, doping and so on. If there is a desire, everything else can be overcome,” Davydov said.

If Valieva's FS had JUST been to The Truman Show (without creepy voiceovers and hoodie), I would've loved it. The music is gorgeous and she seems invested in it and it seemed very cathartic for her - at least for today! But what about all season and 4 times a day? Ugh. Gordeeva only did that emotional number ONCE. 😟 It is a pity, I love how she's matured and moved on the ice. I can enjoy her skating more without all of the gimmicky Ultra C moves. If she had the right choreographer & coach, she wouldn't need them. She could be the next Carolina if she gets away from Eteri, but sadly, I don't see that happening.

I see what you’re saying but at this point it’s too late As a competitor. She could develop artistically with the right inspiration and guidance over a number of years and natural maturation, but I do agree with you - that’s very unlikely to happen. Eteri traps these athletes and they essentially have no way out.

Will you ever be satisfied? Previously you wanted to compete without Russians, now you have such an opportunity. What else do you want? If you don't like Eteri's training system or Kamila's program, you always have the right not to watch. Why am I not watching your championship? Because I don't care what's going on with you. The problem with you Americans is that you think the whole world must live and act the way you do.
