February 17, 20224 yr Thrilled to bits for Kaori! But I hope this doesn’t mean that the pressure is off on Kamila’s investigation just because there’s no individual medal at stake.

It is very unfortunate that she got sidelined in the worse possible year, but honestly every single girl is a victim in this terrible system in their own way. Also, the past four years have been when she stepped it up, Kaori fell behind and when she was down behind, Kaori stepped it up. IMO they are both aces of Japan.

February 17, 20224 yr Just now, randomanon said: yes well unfortunately the judges have always favoured anna over sasha so.... It's actually an interesting question. The technical gap is big but even though Anna's skating skills are pretty bad she's much more polished in every other respect. I have no strong feelings about who should win. I suppose Sasha did fall in the short though.
February 17, 20224 yr There’s no way Eteri would have let that gold of Kamila go, so it’s good she didn’t medal. Kaori deserves this moment!
February 17, 20224 yr So Japan has now whole color medals collection with figureskating. Both men and women Kudos to Japan who loves figureskating so much.
February 17, 20224 yr Another great point from two women commentating for PL Eurosport (after Sasha's skate): "Technically that was insane, but in terms of components, she was nowhere near Wakaba or Loena. I wish one day we will have a skater that can do both Ultra-C hardest elements and the greates artistry". The second: "Yuzuru Hanyu". The firsrt: "Yes, we have one <laughing> but not yet in women field". (nothing about Nathan Chen). They did a great job overall.

I mean, obviously she's not the only victim, but she is possibly the biggest victim of doping and pro-Russian favoritism. If you eliminate the Team Tut skaters from the 2019 worlds podium she would have been first (I guess Medvedeva was technically with Orser at that point but it doesn't erase any doping she might have received to help her train up to that point, and her lutz edge went uncalled anyway which would have made a difference). She's probably the one who's been most robbed of titles by Team Tut's cheating. She also hurt herself trying to chase the Russians and didn't have the opportunity to go to the Olympics.

Let me have my moment as a Rika bot please lol. But really so many people failed her, JSF, her coaching teams, bad luck. The saddest part will be that she probably can never crawl back to the top. I don't dismiss the fact that I'm biased though and prefer her over Kaori.
