With fruits and tea. How sweet.

For god’s sake, stop interpreting it as if there’s only one possible reading of the situation! and stop inventing stuff - there’s no way Rozanov was just a roller skater, he wouldn’t have been taken on in the first place. He was a skater, he did coach kids before, so he was taken on. 

I just meant I see no other take of it, sorry if I didn't write it correctly?

As to Sergey Rozanov teaching roller skating, I read it in another translation of this interview. Apparently it was an incorrect translation.

Here again, I don't read Russian. I rely on translations, and they can be accurate or not.

I feel very concerned, simply because I became interested in figure skating in 2017 (after having watched a bit in the 80's) thanks to Alina Zagitova, then I watched other skaters in the group, and I like them all. Only in late 2019 (maybe because I tried to seek their programs directly on Youtube?) I "discovered" the existence of Yuzuru Hanyu.

And for all his superiority (indeed I believe he inspires some of them), I didn't cease to like them.

Apart from what it's all about, this post has one of the most astounding and incredibly florid floral arrangements I've ever seen. 

 

After all this, I have but one conclusion...there is considerable writing talent amongst the Russian figure skating world when it comes to wielding a subtle knife...I've never seen so much shade delivered so smoothly. Never mind jumps and spins, this is what RusFed should be scored on.

So many flowers I’d probably look for the food actually LOL

We decided on the circle of choreographers who will work in our team. These are both permanent and invited - foreign and Russian specialists who own a skate and choreographic component who work with athletes for a long time,” Plushenko said. “For work at the academy "Bolshoi Theater choreographers and modern dance teachers will also be involved. There are already such agreements, but I won’t be voicing names and surnames now - first I have to leave self-isolation and return to training.

"Kolyada is not included in the basic structure of the Russian national team, it has been declared a reserve one," Piseev said over the phone.

Well I hope he comes steaming out of the blocks and blows the rest of the Russians out of the water when skating finally comes back.

About changing country:

Skaters from Russian National Team are entitled to an official transition two years after receiving a request from a foreign federation, and those participating in national championships - a year later.

Khudaiberdieva changed partners again? Eh, she is so good, but skating with someone else again... at least Bazin is very experienced

Ditto. The fact that Kolyada wasn't able to skate last year and missed SCI, meaning I wasn't able to see him skate, remains a great disappointment. I'd really like to see him live.

You see no other take for a 15 year old girl thanking her coach on Instagram after deciding to switch coaches as her new coach (whom she hasn't even begun to train under yet) trying to poach her old coach to his school? So Plushenko has taken over Sasha Trusova's Instagram now and is dropping hints through her Instagram to her ex-coach Dudakov who doesn't use instagram? Doesn't that sound a few levels too deep even for skating?

Oh no, I didn't imagine that at all.

I supposed, like I think everybody else, that the message came from her parents. Plushenko writing it didn't come to my mind.

And I was speaking of the meaning of one particular sentence, though I preferred quoting also the previous one : "I am sure we will meet again and I will have the opportunity to tell him this in person." ("Уверена, мы еще не раз встретимся и у меня будет возможность сказать ему это лично.")

I didn't see (and still don't see) any other interpretation of this particular sentence, in this context, that Alexandra Trusova's parents were aware of an attempt to recruit Sergei Dudakov, by Evgeni Plushenko and his team.

I didn't imagine either, it was meant to be read by Sergei Dudakov, but by Eteri Tutberidze "and the world". Like all the flower thing.
