Ridiculous. They seems like idiots who aren't even sure of their selection criteria. Sad to put athletes in that position. Mostly because of the awful lobbying of someone. Sad.

 

I bet in a few days we will learn that there will be a test skates. As if the whole season wasn't enough.

I feel exactly like that at the moment, even that insta post by Zhenya... I want to think it wasn't part of something bigger, but it certainly looks like she wants to put some pressure to give that spot to her. Sigh. Or maybe she didn't even think about it but well. She really wants this but imo the season speaks for itself.

I just don't like this whole situation at all...

Do we know when that was? 

GPF? But IIRC she was taped up before that too.

Totally conspiratorial, but I won't be shocked if Eteri and co are uploading those vids on IG now to ensure the RusFed knows she's capable of delivering and is recovered...

Yeah, sadly.

She was. Well I hope this was recent but wouldn't be surprised if it was only uploaded now, either. Who even knows what's going on at this point.

It’s the stories, supposed to be uploading only when it’s being shot, I thought?

I think you can post old vids as stories. But I think it's recent, tbh.

So the war is on. LOL.  

There’s no sadder bunch of idiots than the RusFed in so many ways. But we have quite a fight for those spots over there. I wonder who represents who... as Brian is obviously not taking part in those struggles anyway. He’s got his hands full.

The drama... this could be a better documentary than we get at the Oscars.... more intrigue, back door deals, lobbying, maybe even money (just guessing, for drama ya know)

 

Edit: is it bad that I almost wish RusFed gets what it deserves after this?

[Katt]

Wonder if Sofia and Liza would post something

Nah, I’d rather watch Yuzu’s victory at Pyeongchang, to be honest. Tired of this endless scramble with our ladies.

TAT for Med, IMO.

I'd nominate RusFed for a Razzie I think

Liza said she was tired of the whole fuss with the Worlds. And she has shown her weapon at the last competition. 

Sonya has got her European gold...

Yes, of course! But, while Yuzu's is a feel good story by the end, the Russia ladies drama and what goes on behind the scenes and behind closed doors in Russia is always intriguing...

 

Edit: and in Canada we really don't have anything like that! so vanilla....

Hmmm, she indicated once she was out of the committee deciding who to send to the Europeans.
