Oh ok, well Sharov, the guy who often takes photos of Eteri's group says that was not her first day on ice.

That makes more sense and makes me feel a tad better!

Also Eteri's babies

I can't believe most of them are smaller than Zhenya! Granted most of them have probably not stopped growing yet, but still... they're all so cute!

I don’t know the qualifications to be picked for the olys. I hope her not being in the National will not effect it.

The decision of WD was made after officials visited Eteri's group, so I'm sure guarantees were made or she wouldn't WD

So WD. Oh well, I'm again torn between extreme relief and sadness. :tumblr_inline_mn41rkfu9v1qz4rgp: Wise choice, Zhenya can be in her top shape at Euros, but she must be feeling very kuyashii

It's so ~~heartbreaking~~ strange that the top skaters of men and ladies are both enduring the same setbacks this season :sadPooh: Universe better fix this mess in 2018

About qualification, I think this time things are a bit less clear for everyone because of the "invitation" thing from IOC, but considering Zhenya's track record, and considering she was even sent to speak to IOC and she's pretty much become the spokesperson for clean russian athletes, I don't see how she could not go to Olys.

I think IOC would want her even if russian fed didn't want her :laughing: (and tbh russian fed would be idiot not to want her if she's healthy. Even with a broken foot she racked more points than anyone else, higher total score than Alina's GPF)
