I wonder what Masaru’s jacket is for.

Masaru knows sit 

Lol they managed to cut out the only few seconds when Masaru wasn’t being difficult. Alina had to follow Masaru’s orders for the most parts of the event. 

shy and awkward duo

I guess these people have never seen Yulia Lipnitskaya spin, right? It’s her trademark bielmann. 

 The Twitter poster’s profile pic is Yulia, so I bet she knows about Yulia too. People are very encouraging about young talents, which is quite nice to see.  I do wish junior skaters from non big feds can get more recognition as well. 

Btw Yulia's Olympic video is the most viewed skating video on YouTube.

Kamila might be talented in swimming. 

Ah silver

She’s unreal. Her limbs are so long.

Will we get a Russian skater with great jumping technique and good skating skills like Rika’s?

OT but for me, Rika doesn’t have the “it” factor. Satoko doesn’t have that either. It’s a bit harder for them to become huge stars like Yuna or Mao. We’ll see.

He is not a tool to be used for PR or whatever and sharing a coach with Medvedeva has nothing to do with this. 

He’s not a tool. No one lives in a vacuum. Everyone need help from others at some point. Yuzu will need help from others as well, whether from Brian, Med, or someone else.

Please. Misha already did it. I'm almost sure it is Zazura in background.

Glad to see Misha is on his way to become a great coach. Curious to see who would be leading the coaching world 30 years from now.

Maybe a group picture captioned "we are ready for Worlds" is coming soon. 

 The group picture already happened earlier in the season though. Need more creativity or else might as well not do it.

Thank you for making his comment more legit. 

The entire PR for Javi during Euros was brilliant. They can try similar things for Zhenya for worlds. I suggest posting some pictures and videos traning with Yuzu and getting Yuzu to talk about Zhenya on the Olympic Channel (new Yuzu content yay), though this might be hard but not impossible if they try.

And then he will say another fantastic comment like the one about how it is "fair" to choose Med over Liza.

That’s a good idea actually. Maybe say something like everyone at TCC is supporting Zhenya to go to Worlds. Or maybe post a video of them together traning for worlds to fuel the teammate narrative. Then Yuzu fans will all support Zhenya instead of other skaters.

I'm very glad Zazura doesn't allow Brian talk too much about him.

But Yuzu will probably be more loved and popular if Brian helps him more on the PR side. I think Brian’s PR is quite useful for “casual” fans - He has done wonders for Javi at least. Of course big agencies like IMG have great expertise in promoting atheletes.

I don’t like how Brian used to “use” Yuzu and Yuna to promote his other skaters in front of media. But that’s his job. He’s a good businessman.

I can't imagine reactions if the situation was reversed. Medvedeva having the season that Liza has and being left at home because fed gave her spot to someone whom first not too bad competition of the season is a late domestic one.

Then we’ll probably see horrible things done to Coach Eteri and Alina for no reason. Wasn’t a Russian female skater’s car burnt at one point in history? At least everyone will be safe if Liza is left home, World peace is the most important.

If what happened to Liza happens to Yuzu. I can’t even imagine how sad and angry I would be. It seems like most people who are rooting for Liza like Evegrnia more anyways, so it’s easier for people to cope with this situation at least. 

I hope Alina (and Masaru) can stay safe and away from this drama. I hope Alina can try her best at worlds without regrets.
