Wish KFed had supported her a bit more with PCS. She didn't have the strongest skates, but they could have placed her in the top 6, 7, or 8 skaters if they'd wanted. And they could alter their criteria to keep her on the national team since she had the second most successful Grand Prix season of any Korean women this year, not to mention coming in 6th at the Olympics. They could have sent her to smaller competitions this spring, or even saved her a spot for 4 Continents. It just feels like they're hanging her out to dry. I feel for her, too. But there's a long time before the 2026 Olympics and this could be a minor set back in the big picture.

@@quintupleaxel it's pretty commonplace to align PCS with reputation and consistency. Compare Young You to Jun, for instance, who also came around 5th or 6th at the Olympics and who also just narrowly missed out on qualifying for the GPF. He was awarded PCS in the 9s because he's consistently been Korea's top male skater for years. Young You has also been really consistent over the last 4 years as Korea's top or second best skater, but when she fell they gave her PCS in the low 8s. It's an inconsistency... Although I acknowledge that awarding PCS based on reputation/consistency is controversial... But if one skater is going to get that cushion, then the system should work the same for all.

@@zackwilson8701 but why would or should they in this case? Junhwan is clearly better than his nearest rival by a considerable margin. Womens is a much deeper field, and Young You is not leading it this season. Also Junhwan Cha often (but not always) gets 9+ PCS because his presentation and skating skills are absolutely outstanding. He's Korea's top skater because of those things. Not everything is politics- sometimes someone is just very good. There's bound to be politics in sport, but your opinion on how the scoring works is conjecture.

Daniel is DAMN well aware of the backlash he has gotten over having been "caught" training at Sambo 70 (I don't think he has made the change to Eteri though as this video implies, I think he was just visiting to spend a period there) as he turned off his comment section on Instagram because they were mostly criticizing him for his actions (even fellow Italian skating fans). Daniel being there isn't just an issue of working with a team known for abusing, starving, and drugging their students (his presence there tells us that he's more than okay with the abuse), but also the fact that he is willingly training in a country whose president raged war on an innocent country. Not only has Italy been a huge refugee country for Ukraine, but Daniel's coach, Lorenzo Magri, was one of the coaches that took in Ivan Schmuratko during the off-season since he couldn't train in Ukraine so Daniel probably would have seen first-hand how the war affected him. His choice to train in Russia in very disrespectful to fellow Ukrainian skaters. I will also make a correction. Team Tutberidze does technically have a male skating internationally. They have Nika Egadze of Georgia training under them (Dudakov was with him at GP de France and NHK Trophy.

The last Universiade was 4 years ago (due to Covid) and the winner of the women's singles was Mai Mihara. She is going back to defend her title. It was her performances there four years ago that made her my favourite skater.

I can see a skater thinking “I can be injured either with a medal/title or without one”.

He has said in the past that he wanted to train there (i think before Beijing?). But it's weird he'd go there considering the situation now, even if it's just for a brief visit.

Jonathan, the reason Jun doesn’t do more than one quad of the same kind is his consistency I believe, because one has to be a combo. He’s someone that suffers from URs. And the reason that you can only repeat one quad and overall, repeat two different jumps is so skaters would be practicing a whole variety of jumps, and not just the lutz, flip, and toe for example.

Re: Deanna. Two points. 1. Without knowing the details of her situation, unfortunately researchers are finding that even a mild COVID-19 infection can cause immune dysfunction for an extended period of time after "recovery". It's possible she may have had a prior infection which is making it harder to kick the RSV. Lots of folks right now are getting "the cold from hell", the UTI they just can't shake, etc, and don't realize they may be unknowingly dealing with this afteraffect. 2. Long COVID is not the only post-viral illness out there (I likely got POTS from the flu). Rest is truly key during/after illness!

Dave - with regard to the tan skates on the females - if you go back to the 80s, pair skater Jill Watson was wearing them when she debuted on the senior level in 83 and she always wore them (I read in a newspaper interview is that she wore them to extend her line since she was much smaller than Peter Oppegard, and Burt Lancon before that), Kitty Carruthers started with white skates but changed to tan by the 84 season, ditto Barbara Underhill. Tiffany Chin adopted them by the 85 season. Can't seem to identify tan skates on any females earlier than that.

It's weird and not weird at the same time that Dany chose to go there. As you said, he has spoken positively about Anna (he said that they are friends) and Tut in the last few areas (a bit tone-deaf if you ask me). Also, YGA seems to have a good relationship with Russia and took in Ekaterina and then Morisi. Also, Nicolaj Memola was training with Mishin but he's half-Russian so I guess it's sort of fine there. This filo-Russian tendency that we have in the Italian figure skating community has always been a bit weird to me but it has given some results in the past. Anyway, Dany's choice is very inconsiderate and weird at the moment considering 1) the shitshow Beijing and the doping, 2) her brutal methods and 3) the damn war. I'm assuming the pressure of not wasting another reason, undesirable results in the GP series, maybe see Ilia (seems friends with him too) get a medal, and the media attention (compounded with the results of Charlene/Marco, the pairs and Nicolaj) might have taken a toll here and send him to the wrong direction. He good kid and desperately wants to grow (they should have definitely helped him more when he was younger, but he was getting the scores) and achieve results as seniors, but he probably doesn't get that he needs time and is really a decent coach definitely not Tut. This choice and the negative press that comes with it can only worsen his performance in the next events. Hope the FISG can step in and steer him in the right direction. maybe towards some other US/Canadian coaches. P.S. I wonder also what happens when it comes to the fact that he (as the rest of the national team) is part of the military sports groups. He's part of the Police and he's training with a country we are sort of at war with!

This is my main concern rather than why he is with Eteri The thing with Daniel, I've never really liked his skating. I think he has bad posture, he's flexible but he's doing weird things with his limbs, super bad jumping technique, and subpar skating skills. The only positive thing is that he commits to choreography. I think most fans like him because of his off ice personality, he's a fanyu (hence many hanyu fans like him as well), and overall looking like a nice guy.

Probably not, Mishin is a very well-respected coach

I moved to Finland (not Canada) because the US got too cray for me.

This is just what grassl needs. Sorry not sorry.

Let's see what the Cricket Club can do w Boyang Jin..Will his second mark sky rocket? Jason, Hanyu, Jun, Rika had some aesthetic qualities..Daniel has none..Sorry..I thought he was a nice boring boy who could jump whose second mark should be about 6.5..

I'm not a fan of tan skates either lol!

I think is a mistake. I'm afraid she brokes him. He needs Lambiel or similar.

Am I the only the one who doesn’t really care where Daniel is moving to? I mean, it’s his decision, it’s his life just leave him alone. All this hate is so wrong.

Jonathan..sure as hell gave Morisi the things he was missing..like a Rostelecom victory in 2021! I think you are being naive..He does not know about the OLY medals? doping? and WAR? If I were Japan..I would not invite him to DOI, JO..there are other nice boyz..

I have stopped keeping up with the news from the figure skating world. Has Adelina Sotnikova identified the father of her child? Did she have a little boy?

She has not.

He’ll be injured within six months. That woman and her team should be banned. Their practices are incredibly damaging

Are you sure they would give doping to a non-Russian athlete? The doping scheme is state-sponsored, will the officials cover his back, if his medals are not Russian anyway? Moreover, they would have to make a sistem for him, not just give out meds randomly, it sounds like a lot of work. Plus, they still risk to get caught and if they fail foreign athlete they are responsible for, considering that his doping test has always been clean, it will become as obvious as it's possible what's the deal with this camp, for everyone who is still in doubt

I know that to some extent not everything needs to be seen via the prism of politics and historic wars, however as a person coming from a country previously occupied and terrorized by Russia and still living with the actual threat of being invaded next - I just cannot separate people from the external affairs and geopolitics of a country they choose to train from. Sure neither ET nor DG are attacking Ukraine directly themselves, but I just cannot see such a move if it will happen, without the monstrous baggage being associated with Russia. Also 2026 is quite far away, not sure if his strategic mastermind has thought this through, ice is slippery. And thank God I was never a fan of DG.

@@dalek1147 one of the Baltic states. Plus my mother's parents are from Russia and Ukraine. Previously I always felt that it is a good thing that I am mixed and let the Russians do as they please in our country. Now I regret that. A large powerful country will always have it in their genes that they are superior. And unfortunately it will often be the destiny of a small country, to be the subject of power games and war fronts of other large nations.

disappointed in him hes awful

Daniel just don't need take any pills from Eteri))) and don't even try to repeat any bad and chittering jump technique , awful spins and skating skills from sherbakova))) coz Daniel would never win anything with what sherbakova was able to show on ice. All Anna could do is just to take same pills as Valieva with medical exclusion, and buy her medals with her father's money and help of Lakernik)))
