Not a fan of Tutberidze, just saying: she was not angry, she was surprised. The goal of that particular part of competition was to jump a sequence of 5 jumps. And it wasn't that Akatieva wasn't able to jump them, she just miscounted them, thinking she performed all 5 required. So, it was sort of a frustration with such silly mistake.

[@vissennav]

Also... too much botox and fillers to be shure what her face really show ;)

[@TheEmmaSmith]

Paola does this on purpose, not just on this video. For those following and actually watching all Russian competitions, we know what we saw and we also know things here are being put out of context. Paulo just hates Russians and Russian FS. If you doubt just watch her previous videos and listen how she refers to the Russian GP calling it a "fake" competition, when the poor skaters had no other choice. Too much xenophobia in this channel. But the cherry on top is making a video saying you weren't going to talk about Russians and then half the video is about them, not to mention she talks so much about something she despises. What a shame.

[@julialunsford7071]

@@TheEmmaSmith this is a very much opinion-based channel - not necessarily supposed to be an objective ice skating gossip channel. However, i feel as though she just dislikes Tuberitze. She clearly empathises with and appreciates the tuberitze girls who have so much life, love, personality, strength and talent. She merely does not agree with the ethics (or lack thereof) with Tuberitze’s coaching. Nobody is particularly happy with Russia and the war right now; but obviously we dont dislike the Russian citizens, who have nothing to do with the war.

[@oliver2938]

​@@TheEmmaSmithI think the russian gp series is a fake competition. It has no effect to anything isu related. Everything would be the same without it. And if they wanted to compete they should not have started a war. (I know of course that not the skaters started it. But I'm pretty sure that the people who started it were aware, that this probably means that russian athletes will get banned.) And if you do not even partly agree with paola's opinion, then just don't watch the videos.

It was never said that Trusova didn’t participate in the jumping competition because of Chanel one. She’s still recovering from her back injury. She probably wanted to focus on Russian championship. Also Mark had an injury , that’s why he wasn’t there. Akatieva was supposed to jump 5 jumps but she miscounted them and jumped 4 instead. That’s why the crowd counted for the next girl to help her. Nothing sinister

[@ShenaUchiha]

I watched the competition live and I was so sad for Sophia A. when she did only 4 jumps instead of 5. That part of the competition the skaters were allowed to jump UP TO 5 times for maximum amount of points and no one Knows why Sophia only did 4 but the commentators said that it's hard to keep track of how many jumps you do when you are actually doing them. So afterwards the fans started counting the jumps for their favorite skater, particularly Sophia A. She probably felt rather embarrassed and my heart goes out to her. Side note because she will probably become one of Eteri's front runners for the next Olympics, the pronunciation of Alisa Dvoeglazova's last name: Dvoy-gla-za-va.

if russia is allowed to compete at the next Olympic there is the age limit. meaning no one under 17 can or will compete . and well both akatieva and petrosyan will be around 18 to 19 i think.and well we do know with her unchanged trainingsmethod not one of her female skaters skated past 18 while in training with her. and it doesnt look like she will change her method anytime soon. so not much hope on that front. i think aliss will not be old enough to even compete at the Olympics . so it could very well be that because of eteris unwillingness to change her trainingsmethod she will not have a real competitive skater for said olympics.

Sasha and Mark skipped mostly bc of injuries, with Mark only just being released from the hospital where he was treated for back problems (which is why he flopped on the second event of the domestic grand prix series), Sasha's has been talked about for months now and both of them are mostly preparting for Nats. Also, the Cup is still happening. This is just a jump championships, and from the sound of it, there might still be a jumping section during Ch1Cup - Trankov was asking Eteri whether there'd be a rematch on Ch1Cup and she replied "there, too".

There is this kid Lucas Broussard who I'm actually excited about.

Tutberidze was not angry, she was suprised, bc Akatieva jumped only 4 jumps, when she was supposed to jump 5, she just miscounted them in the heat of the competition. And audience was luaughing, watchin Tutberidze's reaction!!! Nothing of what you said happened. Akatieva was just puzzeled and ofcourse upset that she miscounted. It was a nice moment, not sinister, like you are trying to portray! Next time audience even counted jumps for Akatieva when she was jumping. Also, Mark was missing from this competition, bc he is still in the hospital. And Sasha was missing bc she is obviously not ready for the jumping tournament. Come on! She’s still recovering from her back injury! Channel One is not the organaser of this competition. It is not Channel One Cup. Jumping Tournament was the first in history of FS Tournament that has nothing to do with Channel 1. It just broadcasted it, and even if you think that somehow it is possible in Russia for a media channel to ban one athelete from a certain competition. I can tell it is not true.

There is no COVID restrictions. Yuzuru is skating to stadium full of people in prologue while gp is happening. People are crying because they can't get tickets (the tickets are sold via lottery). Most Fanyu's just left that sport with Yuzu. I don't blame them honestly. The way Hanyu has been treated by JP Fed. It's not surprising his fans won't want to fund their circus shows anymore. Edit: typos, i have a habit of skipping words. My dyslexia acting up. 😅 My like probably will disappear, sorry Paola! P.S: Yuzuru is going to do a show at Tokyo Dome in February.

They have put him in this insolated pedestal that no one can access to, no one can speak about him 🙄🙄 etc, and is toxic, pure toxic enviroment, if fans like that leave the sport because they only follow Yuzuru, well it is okey, maybe it would take time yo grow a new and better fans for the sport, but with a much better enviroment to and for all athletes of the sport. There is so much great quality and deep in japan skaters, they deserve a good audience.

[@AuroraIvashkov]

@@fotomagrol Don't talk about things if you know nothing about them. At least educate yourself first. Japanese federation is full of internal politics. Yuzuru has always been mistreated by the federation because he didn't join any party, because he doesn't wanna play political games he just wanted to skate. He got treated like shit by Daisuke camp when he started as senior. Japan has severe regional discrimination. In figure skating, infrastructure is formed mainly in Nagoya and Osaka, which are wealthy regions, and it pushes people from those regions. Yuzuru coming from sendai had noone beside him. Yuzuru has made himself with his sheer talent and determination. His support is the Japanese general public, not the federation. Yuzuru has been always shunned by the federation unless they needed him for his money and prestige. He never got the support from them that other skaters got because of his background and lack of political connections. Not even after bringing them 2 gold medals. And that's just from his own federation, let's not even get into ISU politics. As for your figure skating community, I would rather watch Yuzuru Hanyu skate and share his love and vision for figure skating instead of watching corrupt ISU games with bought-in judges where passport matters more than skating skills. Like it or not Yuzuru Hanyu brought and introduced millions of people into the sport. Inspired thousands of athletes. He made figure skating more mainstream and shared the sport with a whole range of audience. People fell in love with the sport through him. Me including one of them. Meanwhile ISU turned that sport into a joke. I am glad Yuzuru left so I don't have to suffer through those competitions anymore. I am still watching some of the skaters I like if they compete. But I am ready to log out of the isu sport when they do. Cause this sport is a joke now. I actually feel bad for the new generation of skaters. I hope they find the real passion and beauty of skating instead of being puppets for their feds. It was heartbreaking to see Alyssa retire and lose her spark and love for the sport. If the sport doesn't reform itself, the same thing is gonna happen to many other young skaters. Especially if they are from the two big federations.

That is how they decided which skater would join which group. There were differents stages of the team tournament. Sofia Akatieva had been selected from team Tudberidze to jump at the 5 jumps cascade stage. All skaters of all camps where jumping 5 jumps cascades at that stage. Sadly Sofia miscount her jumps an jumped only 4 jumps instead of 5. Because of that error team Tudberidze lost the team torunament to team Plushenko.

I wonder if any of the girls under Eteri especially the newer ones know about the risk they are taking. You should make a video on how her methods in a technical way hurt the girls bodies and stuff that would be a informational watch

[@luisaloveshoney8]

I don’t think Paola knows enough about the technicalities of jumping to do a video on how the girls bodies are affected. Honestly I think the eteri girls start out so young they don’t think too much about injuries, maybe they think that it’s part of the sport. Maybe they think that they can be different and have a long career. I think a lot of them don’t look too far ahead. Being an eteri girl means you get to enjoy huge popularity and success for a short time. For a lot of girls and their parents this is all they see

[@goeticfolklore]

I would also like to see her discuss the fact that Russians regularly take hormonal suppressants. I believe a famous skater also came forth saying the Russians would “put something underneath their tongue” before skating. There is also the anecdotal evidence that both Trusova and Zagitova waited hours to take a piss test. Makes you wonder who else has been doping, how often, and the fact the Russians are so good at clearing it out of the system before detection.

the conflict between the first channel and Trusova occurred because Trusova told them to change the commentator (who spoke badly about her at one time), and the first channel refused to do so. after that there was a story with the removal of the sponsor's stripes of the first channel. after that, Trusova was banned on the first channel.

[@anaespiral3265]

En serio, Paola, estaría bien que, si vas a contar algo y a literalmente desinformar (por no decir echar mierda), te documentales un poco o no lo mencionases. Primero lo del chaval saltando a la pista de patinaje para darle un ramo a Trusova, un chico que todos allí conocen desde hace años. Ahora lo de que Tut se enfada cuando sólo se sorprende y es porque tenía planificado cinco saltos, saben que es más que capaz de hacerlos y les pilló por sorpresa. No sé si sabes que la alta competición es así. No es de "ay" has fallado, jijijaja qué bien nos lo hemos pasado. No. Por supuesto que hay reprimendas. Y si son justificadas, cómo esta, no entiendo el problema. Y decir que ella no se rió porque no sé qué, igual no se rió porque estaba frustrada consigo misma, o porque tenía sueño, qué sé yo.

The jumping competition (the first part at least) was very entertaining.

This was fun to watch, the crazy combinations were impressive, and seeing athletes push themselves to their limits and push forward the limits of the sport is so satisfying. They should do more of these, but with more variations of jumps (not 1 type of jump only in the individual event).

You could go to a festival for certain artists you like and wouldn’t do so if ur fav artists weren’t there. Also, even when they didn’t stay after Hanyu (or whoever their fav was) left, if they bought tickets and publicized the sport more, that would only be a good thing for a dying sport. And also, yes while many are fans of the Hanyu and not the sport itself, we basically can’t overlook the fact that this huge fan base of his also brought many new fans to the sport itself. The question or the problem here should be, why is this sport dying? Obviously Hanyu is not the reason to that, neither his fans that stopped following. It’s rotting from inside and it’s not being taken care of, and that’s why many people keep losing interest in or getting sick of it, whether they were introduced to it by Hanyu or not
