axelsandwich Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 13 minutes ago, astudyofmemory said: I think having Zhenya there could be a great example to the other skaters about mental strength, and she could give them all a push in the right direction. Especially for someone like Gabby, who has struggles with staying consistent across competitions and is prone to bombing. Evgenia obviously has done SOMETHING to acquire the consistency she has now. She has said herself that she is not a natural jumper, after all. That's one of her greatest qualities and TCC could hugely benefit off of having her teach her philosophy to the other skaters, hehe absolutely right. Yuzu's also complimented zhenya's ability to deliver consistently under any circumstances before iirc and we know from the new ice jewels interview that that's a chief concern of his, and something I think TCC would definitely be interested in bringing in. 9 minutes ago, Gaby said: To say I'm surprised is a bit of an understatement . But at the same time I'm so chill that it surprises myself even more . IDK why but I have this nagging suspicion that Med has made this move having a clear strategy in her mind , and nothing of it was spontaneous . I'm thrilled to see how she will develop from now on. I think she definitely has, it's played out very well as @Yatagarasu said (and frankly I'm shocked because even the gossipy FS circles didn't have BOrser's name on the radar though there were rumours about a split with Eteri). for an eighteen-year-old (who's clearly found a good team to help her), that's truly quite impressive. I'm living for her cryptic tweeting today too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaby Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Speaking of the alleged switch to Brain: has any Russian top -single skater ever been coached by a non- Russian coach ? I don't recall any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huiqi Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Regarding Zhenya being very consistent, isn't it easier to be consistently landing your jumps if the jumps are smaller, prerotated and muscled? If Yuzu prerotates his triple axel, he would already have landed a quad axel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, more precisely , former USSR like Raf or Russian current citizen. To me Eteri is definitely a Russian coach. I 'm sorry I wasn't clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They trained with some who stayed in the US... 3 minutes ago, Huiqi said: Regarding Zhenya being very consistent, isn't it easier to be consistently landing your jumps if the jumps are smaller, prerotated and muscled? If Yuzu prerotates his triple axel, he would already have landed a quad axel. He’d ruin his technique in doing that. There isn’t that much prerotation on axel anyway, I think.

My memory does not play tricks on me then. Well , Evgenia could be the first one. But I'm having hard time believing the RusFed would be willing to pay for her training under a foreign coach. I wonder how she figures it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuzuangel Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 4 minutes ago, MrPudding said: The way it's framed it sounds like she is moving out of weakness, but I do understand. It must be hard to have to constantly be at your best because your biggest competitors are watching all the time. You know they take motivation in your failures. You know they are secretly noting and copying your best moves. Even if some of those girls leave, another one will replace her. I remember someone mentioned that TCC is a private club and no one will post on instagram if you have a meltdown run-through one day. The mental comfort will be very important. OTOH maybe that's why she's so mentally strong...but maybe that won't change when she moves, and she can work on other things rather than being reminded that her clock is ticking at every moment.
