I don't necessarily agree with Maya (or Dave) on everything. But I like hearing a civil discussion with opposing/differing ideas being shared. *Most importantly, you could still see the respect between Maya and Dave even tho they didn't see eye to eye on everything.* Great discussion!

This was great. Maya made the conversation real and transformed Dave into a serious commentator.

Phenomenal interview. I enjoyed Maya’s insights and her relatively tempered approach to the topics discussed. It’s rather refreshing. I’m a big fan of many skaters in Russia and want the best for them. I didn’t suddenly start hating them because of the war or doping scandal. I understand that Russia has a history with doping and that this is a larger issue needing to be addressed, but I also try not indulge endlessly in speculation and rumors, as it often times leads further from the truth and can foster hatred for others. Yes, rumors can also turn out to be true, but I prefer to take a measured approach, be patient and hope for the facts to be revealed in the end. None of us can afford to be naïve and assume that the Russians are playing out of the same rule book, but I will still operate based upon my own principles in the meantime. I agree with Maya that the senior Russian skaters have the most to lose from the ban. International competition and prestige is ultimately what most skaters seek. Without that, motivation to train and compete will likely decrease. I do find it interesting that there is so much sympathy for Sasha or Kamila, but often times Anna seems to be ignored. She in many ways has perhaps been shafted the most, as her position on the Olympic team was questioned, she was not the favorite to win (either over Kamila or Sasha), she won in the midst of great controversy, Russia was immediately banned after her win, and many fans of her teammates still malign her. Yes, she is making the most of things in Russia, but an Olympic gold medal offers more opportunities and she is currently restricted because of her government’s wrongdoing. Maya seems concerned about finding stars or interesting figures within figure skating in order to draw greater attention to our sport, especially given the decline in interest over the years. While, I do think it’s important that we maximize on opportunities to increase interest, I don’t necessarily think doping scandals are the best type of attention. I guess I can’t be surprised though since many current fans of skating, who seemingly hate Russian skaters, still lap up every drop of Russian skating news and gossip. The truth is, the Russian skaters are intriguing. There are some big personalities, risks taken to drive the sport further, and a lot of pageantry in how they execute the sport. So despite the fact that many believe the Russians are destroying women’s singles, they still also can’t seem to stay away. As for Kamila, I think my approach is unpopular. In the same way that Dave believes that Kamila wasn’t the only one doping, that she was just the only one who was caught (not an illogical train of thought, but would still need to be proven) I also very much struggle to believe that the skater favored to win gold at the Olympics just happened to have her test result come out right as things were getting underway at Beijing. Had this happened before, the entire course of events would have been altered, the story would have been big, but not on the scale that it was, and the Olympics would have had much less drama. I just have a very hard time believing that the timing was entirely accidental. If we’re talking about other skaters doping, or potentially all of the skaters doping, I think there is some irrationality to it and it would need to be taken on an individual basis. For the women, it’s assumed they are doping because they’re landing quads, but then it’s also assumed that the only reason they land quads is because of their low body weight and size, so their teams are accused of delaying puberty. Of course, girls like Anna are accused of doping, being malnourished, emaciated, mentally and emotionally abused by her team, and the profiteer of family money and influence. With this much supposedly happening to one single girl, it’s a wonder she was even coherent and able to train. Some of these things might be true, but some of these things are possibly not and damaging to the skater or skaters that critics supposedly care so much about. I also think at this point it would be very difficult and risky for all the athletes to be doping. The chances of being caught are too high. Where Kamila is concerned, we need to be honest. She’s an exceptional talent. I can guarantee this was not lost on Eteri and they probably raised her up like a thoroughbred. Some note her age as a matter of consequence or not. Truth is, she was 15 at the time. In any other situation we’d acknowledge her as a child, but because athletics says she can compete as an adult we throw that rationale out the window, but regardless, she was a child and really still is. And so it’s not that young people can’t compete and that in order to allow them to compete we need to instantly treat them like adults, but that we need to take extra care and precaution to protect them if we are going to allow young people to operate on such a high level, in such a pressure filled, contentious, and political sport. If we want to get to the heart of the matter and correct it, go after the adults in her life. Destroying a talent like Kamila out of spite, misplaced anger, or hatred for the Russian system is completely ridiculous. Finally, noting that Kamila has fallen behind some of her peers, is a bit odd. The accusations against female skaters in Russia, specifically those under Eteri, is that they have no longevity and will not be able to skate on the same level once their bodies change. We saw Kamila go through this change this past season and struggle immensely. She also clawed her way back and can now land quads and a triple axel again. Will her peers be able to make that transition as well? That is to be determined, so comparing them seems pointless. I’m very frustrated. As stated, I’m a fan of a number of Russian skaters. I want these skaters to have long careers. I do not want them to be done at 17 only to have us move onto another 15 year old who won’t last any longer than the girl before. This is a terrible way to approach skating and it needs to change. Lets go after the people responsible.

Dave pronounced her surname incorrectly. He said “SotnI’kova, but it must be SO’tnikova. So it’s why Maya didn’t understand him at once.

Agree with her about Trusova. That girl is so driven. She’s the type that needed a coach that could hold her back to help prevent injury (& someone to make her work on skating skills more along the way). Her skating skills are terrible, but her focus & drive insane. However, she got mentally broken at the Olympics so I’m not sure she wants to compete in skating anymore. I’m hopeful whatever she decides she wants next that she didn’t lose the ability to drive towards a goal. Agree with both of you about Kostornaia. So insanely talented, probably the most talented girl that ever went to Eteri’s school. But her personality seems a bit more on the flighty side & I could see her being a more high maintenance athlete to coach. I worry that if she & her partner break up in their personal relationship, that could spell disaster for her continuing skating. It would be awesome if she could succeed at pairs, whether in Russia or another federation.

@Lennuci

Жыл бұрын

The point is no coaches could hold Trusova back. All she always wanted was 5 quads in her free skate and she is not interested in the rest of the programme. She says it herself. And sadly that cost her an Olympic gold. I don't think she was "broken" in the Olympics. She just let her emotions out and it was broadcast to the whole world. She is probably not interested in competing just at the national level right now but can return if she wants. She is into making money out of her name at present and Rudkovskaya's money-grabbing attitude and influence don't really help her skating career.

ISU including Yuzuru as an ambassador/commentator/performer would certainly be beneficial to them for the time being. I don't believe it would benefit Yuzuru in any way though. As a professional skater, he's getting more money, better treatment, and more creative control than he ever did while competing. Maybe, if the ISU implemented some of the positive changes proposed in the financial report, he would see involvement as worthwhile. But as it is, slapping a Yuzuru bandaid over the mess that is the ISU wouldn't do a lot in the long run.

I enjoyed this interview so much- so informative!.

Simply, this is not sound legal reasoning . Kamila is to be given a second chance because she is talented? So the rules don’t apply to her? Bottom line: the tragedy is is that she would most likely be quite good without doping, but doping she did. The rules are the rules. Fair is fair. The rules shouldn’t be changed because someone is young and talented. And, yes, the doping helped her. Did it get the quads for her ? No. Did it help her acquire them - yes.

Poor Maya has some troubles that skaters like Trusova and Zagi want to have a proper education 😅😅 but she has no problem that Boikova is studying the same Uni as Zagi for journalism and many other former skaters are trying to be journalists without any proper education😅😅😅

Ernest Hemingway, the very fine American novelist was a reporter and journalist who never went to college.

That's a good call idea for ISU to ban both 🇷🇺 and 🇧🇾 from figure skating due to the war in 🇺🇦 that the sports world doesn't allow hated at all, I clapped for ISU for deciding within the peaceful choice. And thinking banned them from the Olympics (summer and winter) is out of the question.

Russia and their manipulation, doping and Eteri bonus! Of course ISU and the judges favored and loved it and Continues to do so even today(2023) and the next season! Russia! 😳🤢🤮🤮🤮👎

She looks so much like Ana De Armas ha ha

Without big star personality’s(Medvedeva, Hanyu) and Ultra Ci elements (which really draw in new fans, see Trusova) the sport is just boring for outsiders and even for those who have been fans for years ….

Disagree. Skating gained no new popularity in the US because of Hanyu or Trusova and didn't lose any when they were no longer there.. And skating is still very big in Japan.

Valieva is confident of what ? Doping and lying about it ? Now matter how much she is talented, cheater is a cheater. Should not be allowed to compete.

Lease invited the hater Eteri from Russia to pour a ton of slop on the head of the best coach in the world? I haven't heard it, but I'm assuming it was :)

It wasn't.

That's the case if Tuktik, she really doesn't know what to do outside FS that's why she still there and screaming ab her long career. But the only reason why she is there is lack of education, profession, occupation and lack of money outside state funded Figure skating. She got her salary from federation and some money from few shows she participated as a second staff. That's all. Zagi and Medo have their own path and a very successful ones outside FS. Sotnikova,Pogorilaya and Yulia have families and babies, and only tuktik still trying to do smth but haven't done anything at her age😅😅

І правильно зробила, що ISU продовжила бан. Росіянам та бєларусам там робити нічого. Їм не місце а змаганнях міжнародного рівня, а всі, хто має крапельку співчуття до них, мають іти по курсу корабля та відвідати Бахмут, Рубіжне, Маріуполь та затоплену росіянами Нову Каховку та Олешки.

I like when they praise Anna for achievements that Zagi has, not Anna 😅😅😅 and mocking Zagi for all of that. 😅😅😅 but Anna's father is paying lots of money to many media in Russia including sports, but Zagi doesn't pay them a single penny. The truth is that sherbakova has no chances , cos rules were change, and all her technique problems is now punished, she is a skater below average who bought her way to the top, and Diana Davis is following her steps, that's all😅😅😅 Sherbakova manage to buy herself gold of worlds and Olympics, that's all. She has no achievements besides of that. And her 3 russian titles were even easier to buy😅😅😅 after anna 's despise Olympics gold, people said enough is enough, even federation refuse to support her anymore at the competitions 😅😅

Кто бы мог подумать что ты такая либеральная русофобка, а... Твоя "жалость" к нашей молодежи смешна и убога! Это якобы "весь мир" должен стремиться в Россию - именно там настоящее Фигурное катание! То что происходит на якобы "международном" позоре ISU - яркий пример деградации вида спорта без Великой державы. Про "разочарование" еще смешнее - говори только за себя!

There’s always someone who’s gonna throw stones at Anna saying her father had it fixed🙄 Just because you try to persuade everyone that he interfered doesn’t mean that he actually did that, stop spreading lies and actually think. If Olympic medals could be bought, could this dude or some oligarchs buy more? Russia is a rich country, but the total of gold medals wasn’t impressive at all. But most importantly, Anna was the only one who skated both programs clean, and she had 2 quads. Seriously, who else could possibly win? Broken Kamila? Sasha who’s quads are impressive but skating not so clean with less components? Knowing all this and still have the audacity to call Anna “rogue”… you must be so full of hate, go get help, girl
