Suddenly an Alina comeback seems quite possible.... Med, too

I heard this to but have yet to figure it out... the pics have a groove, you can't just rotate them.... nvm i figured it out LOL BTW I really want to get these they are so shiny . . . . ... .. ..

I'm half-impressed that we still don't know what caused the Brian-Yuna breakup. And we never will... now THAT was drama at the time! I'm sure it's not that hard if you're careful. They do hold together in the wind until a strong gust comes along.

Really, someone should give Eteri a HUUUGEEEE bouquet of dandelions...a bigger bouquet than her heart desires

why would anyone be against a teenager making a coaching change?? like, what is there to be against?!

It is!! eta:

Lol, Eteri's rant for each subsequent student leaving her is gonna get longer and longer as she lists out every transgression from every student who left her all the way back to Yulia...

Anyway, Eteri's instagram caption isn't as damning of her students as she thinks it is, lol. If literally all of your students (whom you taught since their impressionable early teenage years if not even younger) are "difficult" in the exact same way, then maybe the problem is with the common denominator here, lol.

Didn't Plushenko promise Trusova that he would focus on her? Now he's taking her ex-teammates. Trusova must have wanted to leave behind the competition for coaching attention / crowded training sessions at Sambo, not...recreate it at a different rink. Lol, so our "best coach" isn't so irreplaceable after all. And it was all teachings of the behind-the-scenes coaches that got the girls their 3A/quads. I wouldn't be surprised if Eteri was unwilling to share the credit of the coaching, leading Rozanov to leave in the first place (well that was the first I've heard of him). And now that he's left will we see a mass exodus? Anyway, your explanation makes the most sense to me. Well, I guess there's Anna left, the favorite lol. (And Alina.)

Seriously!!!

WHAT?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! AND THE CAPTION...talk about old habits dying hard, damn. Eteri airing dirty laundry like no other... not only must she insult Alena, she has to take digs at all her former students! Even poor Yulia who just had a baby! Of the three I imagined Alena most being able to get to the Olympics despite not having quads. With how she's scored she doesn't need them. Hard to imagine Eteri giving up on her unless something really bad happened.

Wow, Yuzu is watching himself on TV.

Wow this is super helpful! Looking at this I probably would have wanted to purchase the "Off Ice Skates" brand of frames if I didn't already own a setup. That low toepick would be really useful for trying to spin and even turn/jump in the same way as on the ice. From the last couple months of skating in pic skates, that was definitely the biggest difference that took me a while to get used to. The pic (toe stop) is too high and as it got worn down it was even higher off the ground. Makes it harder to balance and do things like spirals, let alone spins. For example, when you land your jumps, you always land on your toepick first and then gradually rock down onto your blade. If the toepick is too worn out, then there's no longer a smooth rocking motion, and you often just pitch forward. That and the weight was also a big difference. Inlines are a lot heavier (solid rubber wheels lol) It's interesting to see so many brands come out of Taiwan! I wonder why inline skating is so big there?? The rinks are not too uncommon around here, so depending on where I am living it's usually something like 10-30 minutes traveling away

I think it depends on how well we get the pandemic under control. Some farther away from me but still within driving distance may have already opened. But some are being used/have recently been used as morgues 💀

that face... eta: the neon

I've been skating for a while...bUT progress is super on and off! in skating especially, because everything needs to be so precise... When I was 12, I got a pair of skates that miraculously fit me at a garage sale for $10. I used it once at the rink, and that was the first and last time I went to the rink for a while. Until around 2014, when I took a skating class to fulfill athletic requirement to graduate from school. The class was for beginners, we mostly just played on the ice. I think we learned to skate from one end of the rink to another Then in 2016, after watching some skating on TV, I got a pair of skates and tried to sign up for classes. At the time I had work that started around 7am, so it was hard to skate, and skating lessons were always in the mornings, so I kept putting off the classes. Until I got another job that was much better with schedule, starting around 10:30am instead. That's when I started to take lessons and skate more than a few times a year! That was in 2017 and I have been skating since then, until the pandemic closed all the rinks down. I haven't been to the rink since March

L-shaped peace sign spotted again!

wow, what a great compliment to that wine! i love it

Is she being sponsored? Wow, Yulia still looks like a teenager, honestly. She is so young...but she will be a great mother.

wow, i love your videos! lovely montage of powerful moments
