It’s official now - Elizabet Tursynbaeva is with Eteri. https://m.prosports.kz/news/279136

According to Eteri’s girls’ Ask answers, Lilbet’s stay with Eteri seems to be temporary, just for the summer or whatever. Let’s wait and see. Why is she on the photo then...

She was a 15-year old kid back then...

Oh god , she’s 20...

You might underestimate Eteri’s capacity for obsession there. But let’s hope her obsessions are mostly verbal and don’t translate into behavioural matters.

I’ve run out of popcorn already...

That would be a bit... awkward to go training with Tutberidze now? Sleep is totally overrated. Join my world of zombie...

Come on, nothing is better than Ilyinikh-Katsalapov drama. Loads of people quarrelled and became sworn enemies then...

That was a TV interview printed out. It was taken right after the Worlds, I think...

But what for? Does Eteri think Lilbet is going to know all of Brian’s secrets or what?

I hope Brian and Co enjoy the fun. A strategic move on Eteri’s part to adopt Brian’s student? This is getting hilarious...

Lol I was expecting this. Totally.

A man who’d won a Worlds bronze medal before he came to a coach is an elite level skater.

Well, it’s pretty hard to avoid the centre of Moscow unless your work is on your doorstep. But if it were... I’d avoid that hassle and the crowds for as long as I could. Toronto is a workplace for Yuzu, that’s clear. So he seems to prefer to keep it that way.

I’ve lived in Moscow for over 18 years. There are parts I’ve never been to...

Pogo’s in the reserve, I think. It’s Elena, Anna and Serafima there... Maxim is nowhere, but I hardly find it surprising anymore. Konstantinova was among juniors last year - so... people said it wouldn’t affect her, but the only senior competition she made to was the Worlds. Where she was burnt out.

I am just as baffled. But apparently, this has to do with financing - if a girl has a spot at a senior GP, she can go there. But RusFed works in mysterious ways - hard to predict their logic.

And Panenkova stays junior?

Given Yuzu’s stay in Japan lasted all of ten days, and given the time difference between Toronto and Sendai and the fact it was the the middle of the season with lots of other skaters to look after and Brian was newly after an operation - I think you’re being too critical of him, the silence wasn’t so long. But in fact, there are other possibilities too - not contacting him was part of the strategy/there was some contact but Brian decided against speaking about it etc. Yuzu was with the people he turns to when things go wrong for him - his family. And I tend to think asking him questions back then would be sorta putting pressure on him, not helping him overcome the injury.

Jason hasn’t skated competitively for months now, so getting back into shape is going to take time. I have reservations about him, but he for one mostly skates for the fun of it. He must have been pretty desperate to find an environment that would work for him.

If you guys don’t care about Yuzu’s personal life, can we please leave it in peace?

And spend so much on it.
