Did Eteri really revealed her private messages with Evgenia? The aired it on the main Russian channel? I need to see it myself to believe. If it's true I struggle to find words to describe the meanness of this move. I'm not saynig Zhenya is an angel (probably not), I don't know her personally, but this act is so pathetic, considering Eteri could be her mother age- wise OMG.

This. We all sometimes say things, succumbing to emotions. And I bet the degree of emotions at that moment was through the roof. Eteri seems so reasonable generally , why would she even mention it, even if it's true ? This is so wrong on so many levels.

Lol then it's up to ANA . Why would they willing to let her join tho ?

My memory does not play tricks on me then. Well , Evgenia could be the first one. But I'm having hard time believing the RusFed would be willing to pay for her training under a foreign coach. I wonder how she figures it out.

I mean Russian citizen . Or, more precisely , former USSR like Raf or Russian current citizen. To me Eteri is definitely a Russian coach. I 'm sorry I wasn't clear

Speaking of the alleged switch to Brain: has any Russian top -single skater ever been coached by a non- Russian coach ? I don't recall any.

To say I'm surprised is a bit of an understatement . But at the same time I'm so chill that it surprises myself even more . IDK why but I have this nagging suspicion that Med has made this move having a clear strategy in her mind , and nothing of it was spontaneous . I'm thrilled to see how she will develop from now on.

I'll try my best but it's virtually impossible to translate to convey the meaning . Here: http://web.archive.org/web/20140330011408/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3220064-team-figure-skating-wait-thats-new/page-2 if you scroll down you'll see the user by name Enero butchering his name in such a way that it sounds like some savage Russian word play involving a very bad Russian word, with some sarcastic and humorous flavor at the same damn time.The fact it was (I hope!) unintentional makes it 1000 times funnier.

The bolded part is me , but 4 years ago, watching PW. I was like "Hm, I don't know who he is but he is kinda cute ". After 2.5 minutes " I WANT HIM TO WIN!" And, oh , the thrill when he did!!

Lol saw it . This is real :)) Indeed there is no way for further imrovement

OMG This knocked me dead LOLOLOLOL, it's not just like swearing , it's such an exquisite word play derived from a very very bad Russian word :))

Oh, one year already ? So many things have happened , and so many are yet to come!! Happy Birthday , beautiful Planet

Offtop but I cannot just skip this part . If it was where I live it would be loads of trash . I cannot with Japan and it's people. I need to move there ASAP because when I see my people leaving their trash at the beach or elswehere it givesx me a whiplash .

Lol so true

lol . It reminds me that the day after his second OGM I read a comment at some Russian forum , don't remember exactly which, something like "OMG, he will be canonized in Japan now! " . I'm not sure it sounds as funny in English as it was in Russian, but you get the idea. Same here I'll see how it goes..

Wheeew , finally I 'm able to catch up with the thread ! The folks who have dissected his speech patterns : I'm your fan. It was the most fascinating read for me :)) It's equally as exciting from the linguistic point of view, especially for the ones who have just started their first baby steps in conquering Japanese, and from the personal point of view. It's like another layer of his extraordinarily personality has been added for me . So fascinating.

OMG him going in circles around Ekaterina ans Tessa , it took them some time to realize he was doing it on purpose ::))

Why is this so freaking cute? Someone, explain ,please? I'm grinning like an idiot praying my boss won't pay attention. Lol Don't worry ,baby, it will grow more with age.

I will be working arghhhhhh. Do you think your voodoo will be effective enough to record it ...?

I find it pretty funny that he seems absolutely unfazed by whatever he is offered to wear either on set or on the ice. Crazy frills, forms,colors,gradient and sparkles-he just goes with it like no biggie. Free and natural.:) While in real life anything apart dark training gear or t-shirt and jeans is not even taken into consideration.

Lol I absolutely need to see it!! I want to see his face saying it!!

Ummm no...just no. Downright creepy. I came to a conclusion he is virtually impossible to capture in sculpture. It's not even the accuracy of the features , there is just something subtle and elusive , indefinable quality which makes him really him, and can't be captured in wax or clay, I'm sorry. It is possible in painting though , but still very tricky .

I'm not crying .... ...I'm not...Almost..
