. That's so frustrating to read. You shouldn't accuse someone until you have concrete evidence. Tygart is such a generalist. Btw, clap clap to Nathan. Classy answer!

 New interview with Evgenia. She confirms she has problems with her right ankle and she wishes Yuzuru speedy recovery.

I cannot believe Zu & Zhenya seem to have the same injury - World Champion curse or what?

 

Hopefully Evgenia will have the time to heal for the GPF, she is a very strong competitor and I'm sure will manage well even if not 100% in top form, but hopefully it won't come to another "has to fight through" thing. All the best Evgenia!

Guys, did I miss something or it's really new: while commenting NHK with Julia, Adian Pitkeev said that he already found a partner for doing ice dancing.

Just a reminder that we have all the vids from the Cup of Russia, in the other competitions thread. 
Some really, really good skates, especially from the ladies (of course!).

I guess this is referring to the practice rink Team Russia is planning to rent during the Olys. 

 

ETA: Yes, it is.

Is this their way of making the field less deep at Nationals?

I wonder what motivated the decision.

Huh... are they afraid of an all Eteri-school top 5-10?

Maximus... snatch some wigs at Skate America please...

gosh, zhenya's a tiny slip of a thing isn't she? her legs are as skinny as her arms and yet she still jumps like that, amazing. I feel like they photoshopped her chest area...her left shoulder area and bust looks slightly weird, but it's a cute photo

I'm actually happy with this decision.  Those little girls already have so many stressful competitions for their age. I don't see any positive arguments for them participating in senior nationals. They have to prepare for junior nationals to make it to the WJC team.
