Homonyms. Тулуп means both the jump and the sheepskin coats of yore. But since sheepskin coats are more common, automatic translators go for those adding hilarity to translation.

How dare you not know the sheepskin coat jump aka toe-loop?

Got Javi’s Sochi FS costume - they called it “Satan takes a holiday”. Not bad, considering the alternatives.

I completely derailed the thread, sorry. Lol

Thanks! He looks a baby in that outfit!

Someone bring Yuzu dancing that hip hop, please. To cleanse my eyes.

Over my dead body. Though I believe he can sell me that sickeningly saccharine stuff with gusto.

I know, I know. I apologise for belittling his contribution into dance history.

No idea. I know he thinks of himself as a great choreographer and regularly puts out Eteri girls dancing his choreography in the gym. That's it.

You try too hard to make sense of what is a really incomprehensible mash of words in the original.

New stuff on Yuzu?

Yeah, one indispensable ingredient in FS word salads is Yuzuru Hanyu, it seems. We should start throwing a cookbook together. THIS is sure to be a huge success.

Er.. no, it’s a word salad in Russian too. I will give a literal translation thereof for everyone to see. — У меня уважение вызывают те тренеры, которые пашут и воспитывают учеников, а не плетут интрижки и переманивают спортсменов, не приемлю этих методов. Как я уже сказал, слово порядочность здесь не применимо от слова совсем. Мерзко это все. Там вот Джонни Вейр только что сказал, что продлевает карьеру в профессиональном фигурном катании. Что уж там, давайте все сразу станем ангелами на коньках. И Юдзуру, и Джонни, пусть всех забирает. Ну не получится в спорте, так сразу в шоу трудоустроят. (смеется) I respect those coaches who work and train their pupil, not those who intrigue and lure athletes, I cannot stand those methods. As I said, the word “decency” isn’t applicable to this occasion at all. It’s all disgusting. Johnny Weir recently said that he’s continuing his career in professional figure skating. Ok, let’s all become skating angels (referring to Plushenko Angels). Yuzuru, Johnny, let him (Plushenko) take them all. If they (or he?) fail in sport, they will find a career in shows. Yuzuru a complete failure in sport? That takes the whole load of biscuits... as does his only hope for the future - to be taken on to Plushenko’s shows. I want to know what drugs he was on when he said all that.

Oh dear, Eteri seems to have delegated the task of throwing dirt into Sasha and her new coaches to her helpers. https://www.sport-express.ru/figure-skating/reviews/chto-zhdet-aleksandru-trusovu-v-shkole-evgeniya-plyuschenko-intervyu-horeografa-alekseya-zheleznyakova-1670695/

Oh God, this is not something one should see just before going to bed!

Now we can have our own PH drama! Yay!

When one comes across a random tweet...

This is brilliant - shall we play for a while? I insulted Averbukh because I wanted to skate to Sex Bomb!

In three hours, they are showing Sochi Short Program, so shall we watch that? I made a thread on this streaming party

Usacheva denied she’s leaving, Samsonov apparently too. Nothing is known about Dudakov.

An internet news channel Business Online claims there has long been disagreement between Trusova and her coaches, and that that Sasha attempted to leave twice during the season, once for an overseas coach and once for a Russian one. No names. They she hasn’t been attending training sessions with Tutberidze’s group for quite a while now. I’ve no idea how much of this is true.

For good measure

That short thick one with blue flowers is mine.

Saying it happens so that good athletes get tempted by lucrative prospects offered by other coaches, but their team bring up good athletes from scratch. They will never ever offer such prospects to anyone because they believe in fair play. #letsworkon. Eteri, what happened to lure Kanysheva away from Panova last season then?

The Zhilinas are young. Too young to be juniors even.
