Indeed. Protect your mental health.

It's more like, "Yuzu is in Japan but you don't say anything at all." Which we all know is not a similar case because a.) We don't know exactly where the boy is, no news whatsoever unlike Evgenia who we are all sure is in Japan (said so herself) and is now in Hachinohe (if what multiple Japanese accounts are saying is true) b.) Yuzu is a Japanese citizen that's why he has all the right to be in Japan. Meanwhile they also attack fanyus by saying the concerned Japanese citizens who want to report her to the Russian Embassy in Japan are crazy Japanese fanyus.

This exactly is on my mind. She better be careful. If people got totally fed up the sponsor might see this as a reason to drop her.

Argumentum ad hominem

Yes. That's how disappointed the Japanese people are. And guess what, her fans labeled those concerned citizens as crazy Japanese fanyus.

Saying that she's fed up with anyone who tries to make her understand the current situation in Japan!? I'm flabbergasted!

As a frontliner, I am deeply hurt and pissed.

I simply view the dancing under the cherry blossoms with the caption "missing the ice" as damage control (I have this gut feeling that she has or had a lot of ice time). She and her team thought that that simple post will cover what the Japanese people discovered but as what @Kazu said

If this is true then... lost some respect indeed.

Not really. Just a discussion on the status of her SS and what to watch out for to see if a skater has a good or poor SS.

Yes, it's not. But I can't help but notice that when she does her StSq it is not as effortless as other skaters does theirs. It can be because she has a lot of transitions but I have seen other skaters do some of the steps she does and making it look effortless than how she does it. Maybe other people here can enlighten us more.

One good indicator that a skater doesn't have a good skating skills is when he/she can't gain much speed even if he/she is doing crossovers because normally you do crossovers to gain momentum. What I also notice about her when she does her crossovers is that she bends too much. Make her hips as the vertex. Whenever she does her crossovers her upper and lower body almost forms a 90 degree angle. And you do that to compensate for weak skating skills, when your legs alone can't get you that momentum that you want. I haven't seen her skate live, but I have seen multiple people saying that she's painfully slow on the ice.

I hope you, your friends and family stay safe there. Hope the numbers will drop and the virus be controlled.

That's why I'm disappointed with what she did. As a frontliner, we always emphasize the importance of social distancing and quarantine, lockdown in fact for this virus is highly contagious. It is treated as droplet transmission but can also be airborne based on some theories. And most glaringly, it has high mortality rate. I just want to ask a question for anyone there in Russia. How does the authorities there treat this whole situation? This is a pure and honest question because after reading that ET's team still trained after the ice rinks closed, Trusova's "vacation" in Egypt and now Zhenya's decision to travel to Japan even with all the dangers today, does the government lack in making its people realize the gravity of the situation or is it a cultural thing? This is a question out of curiosity and not to offend anyone here. I just want to know.

That just proves that she went there for nothing (not hard to predict though considering what is happening globally).

I'm a big fan but this move really makes me scratch my head. It's irresponsible and nonsense.

Wow! Excited for this!

Oh my God! This is so exciting!!

Next in line among the retirees (I really hope not but... )

Bad decision though. Same with Lilbet.

And this is where it will all start. The "Eteri process" will turn its ugly wheels again.

RusFed, your skaters are actually the no. 1 beneficiary of candies given in FS. But yeah, keep clowning.

It looks interesting. And yay! Spirals!
