It’s just a rumour so far. But if it goes on, it will be widely reported. This is off season, people are bored. Where’s you bouquet to Eteri for keeping you entertained? Lol

I’ve just read a rumour Eteri is going to speak on our television again. So get your popcorn, folks, if it’s right...

They’ve been known to give the same piece to other skaters, though... so you never know!

You might also be entertained by what the great choreographer Zheleznyakov wrote. You know he’s the one who bickered with Plushenko back in December. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1462807907240543&id=100005340420443

They also go through puberty which is going to affect their consistency. And yeah, for once they want to be heard and to be given some individual attention.

For once, Brian might give a sigh of relief, since he’s so much last season’s nuisance. It’s all going to be Plushenko vs Tutberidze. But I don’t expect to see Brian at the Nationals this year, though...

The girl’s turning 17 soon, that is, she’s growing too old...

Now Eteri makes it sound as if Alena and Plushenko had been arranging the move for months, but Alena carried on training with the Sambo group and choreographing two “fantastic” programs. That’s just dumb - why waste your time on learning choreography you won’t be able to use anyway? The rumours are that Alena had difficulty getting her 3A last season, and the coach who helped her was Rozanov. She might have found herself in the same situation and grown desperate. By hearsay, she hadn’t regained 3A... But yeah, just another “ungrateful” student. The fourth major one - we are not counting small fish like Pitkeev and Tsurskaya, right? Why is the percentage of ungrateful students so huge with our acknowledged Best Coach?

It’s just weird for someone to make arrangements back in May, but wait around until August to train with the group and make two programs and leave just now, when it’s just nearly too late. It just doesn’t add up. Alena refused to provide any commentaries so far. So it’s another one-sides story unless Plushenko speaks up. And he can, oh yeah, he can. Russian Skating World, providing you with the best figure skating off-season drama. Hope we haven’t let you down this summer either!

I think, honestly, someone’s lying there.

The domestic competitions are very likely to take place. But Good Lord, you realise this sort of petulant tantrum from the ISU BEST BLOODY COACH?

There’s the rub with the Russian Fed - they are paid by public funds, so... can you make it out who they belong to?

Well, when Tsurskaya left, she wasn’t allowed to keep her programs, so basically Alena shouldn’t get to keep her programs now. There go your magical 3A.

And Eteri couldn’t NOT remember the previous ungrateful students of hers - Yulia, Evgenia... so Alena joins them. This is a complaint that Alena refused to get out on the ice along with some other skaters, so they just asked her out. This is August, for crying out loud, ain’t it too late?

Ouch, by the looks of it, Alena Kostornaya is leaving Tutberidze’s team. Or is getting expelled from it. AND - she is going over to Plushenko. They arranged it back in May, Alena said. There’s your long-promised sensation.

Just a little throwback to Sochi - Yuzu from the moment he finds out he’s won right until the flower ceremony. You can get to see Ghislain there too.

Do you mean to say Chinese and Japanese are two different languages? (Just kidding, I know they are worlds apart)

You are right! You can watch the video of that moment here - swipe left!

If anyone can somehow get a picture out of Jordan’s stories in insta, he has a very short commentary about the picture.

To be fair, he’s carrying quite a complicated contraption there which be heavy. But he probably had some difficulty keeping up with Yuzu

Yuzu and Jordan filming him

Judging by a meticulous description of that baby stroller, it’s a bit of product placement. But never mind, it’s still a great picture.

A bit of advertising will do her good! She looks well and happy!

She’s sweet, but why that name? Lol But yay, the parents look happy!

YouTube just offered me this link today - Yuzu’s gala number at the JWC 2010 along with the finale. Just very funny and cute Sui/Han, or the Shibs, and even Katsalapov.
