And I'm going to add that, at least in the hospital where I work, surgeons are regarded as cowboys by the other doctors. Aka, kind of reckless and overconfident, not necessarily too bright. So it's all in the perspective.

Hey now, I resemble those remarks! Anyway, Alyona’s 16. There’s a good chance she’ll go into something completely unrelated to neurosurgery, or even medicine in general. 10 minutes ago, Fay said: Meanwhile the Fed has let it on that Valieva might be allowed to skate for seniors. Domestic comps only though, right? She isn’t age eligible for international senior competition unless the ISU changed the rule and I missed it.

I have seen the original post in German and I'm not sure it is really true because they didn't say which rule it was/didn't link to them either...it sounded a bit vague. We'll see next week but hopefully things will be OK with her papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It’s happening because the coaching team which is proud of not giving any preferential treatment to their own students is getting preferential treatment for their own Olympic hope.

I hadn't seen it under this angle; and they have Daria Usacheva and Maiia Khromykh in the same team... There have been rumours about the causes of Alexandra Trusova's and Alena Kostornaia's departures, but I don't thing they themselves, or their parents, have spoken of another pupil being favoured?

Did you really expect the girls to speak out? I envy your rosy-coloured view of Russian Figure skating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
