@@NormaLilia24 we've been doing an am/pro competition on tv called Dancing on Ice with Torvill and Dean in the UK for a decade! As long as people are being properly taught it's fine. Most of the injuries are to the amateurs anyway. The pro's are professional show skaters, not those still competing. I don't call a competitive skater a "pro". They're an elite athlete/skater imho. Competitive skaters aren't making a living like pro tennis players/golfers for example.

That thing with Plushenko is somehow not even partially bad Skaters do train using only one skate if they’re injured. Cause staying off the ice for even a few days ruins like a month of training. So why not work on footwork if you’re injured and can’t jumpn🤷‍♂️

[@lindatannock]

Because you can fall and make your injury worse! His son is only a little boy. He doesn't need to be skating with a broken arm. It's ludicrous! As an elite level skater, I've been on the ice not jumping or spinning with a medial ligament injury (knee), but that was to help build my muscles back up in a safe way at the same time I was doing physio to recover, and only after having been off the ice a few weeks. I was only doing compulsory figures btw, but as they were slow and controlled it was safe to do, as it was VERY unlikely I would fall. I then progressed to free skating but crossovers and footwork/edgework. No jumps or spins. Having a skater on the ice in one skate is just plain dangerous and stupid. It's helping nothing. It's not going to help her get her jumps back any more quickly, after being off 🤷🏼‍♀️. Far better resting and working on physio exercises to rehabilitate the leg's strength first.

Why would you only wear one skate though? You can still practice them with 2! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I've seen skaters use a hockey puck as an exercise though (putting your toe on the puck)

[@annellle]

honestly I just wish dasha had stronger jumps because her edges are nice and deep and artistic interpretation and musicality are great. valieva is beautiful but i’ve always felt more connected to dasha (the same way i did to alena in her junior / early senior years). if dasha had stronger jumps (she’s still on +2T’s, wish she could do +3T’s and then harder jumps) she would be such a contender for the olympics.

[@martaszczesiak6606]

I said it before and I'll say it again...Skating aside...Medvedeva is just more articulate, more confident and more interesting to listen to. Likely more intelligent too. Medvedeva and Tuktamysheva are the brightest of the Russian skaters - or at least they come across like that in front of the audience. Zhenya could end up in politics or media.

[@S80-r1o]

Kostornaia is the brightest personality wise and Scherbakova is articulate. Medvedeva cannot speak either and has a manly voice, and is so unintelligent that she didn’t even attempt her high school exams. Tuktamysheva is empty headed like Trusova, Zagitova and Medvedeva

Evgenias Alegria gave me life! I was so happy hen she skated that program, I was so excited about it when she showed it on test skates year ago or so. That costume was also a bomb I got on the board with it immediately ;D. I really hope Alina and Evgenia can overcome all this drama they are in, Alina was only 15 on the Olimpics, she was not in charge of her program, she did her best and she won... I know it meant heartbreak for Zenya but hell, sh*t was hard on both of them for that happening. I feel like Alina is an underdog even though she proved herself after that so many times. I also think it broke her in many ways. I think they are both incredible.

You justify the name you've chosen above - Shaitan. It's mean to tell lies about Alina, when the people around do not understand Russian. I'll not comment Zhenya's rough masculine voice swallowing vowels and omitting consonants. As a matter of fact Alina was not invited at all for a simple reason - she was invited and attended a tatar congress in Kazan where she delivered a speech and luckily was well heard and understood.

@@victorialarsen715 i am russian She mumbles a lot. Basically she’s too quite and seems too shy to speak. Incredibly awkward. So i have no clue how she’s gonna host anything with that attitude.

She’s been hosting for a year and improvement is there however it’s really bot that big pf a change. Hopefully she does speech classes in future. There is no appeal to the audience in her voice.

[@СергейВолков-м3з]

for a long time no one cares how many former champions have collected likes in the account of a particular tiktoker, or which wheel they showed there :-) both Alina and Zhenya left sports long ago - you just collect hype on long-irrelevant sports ideas: in the trend of Russian sites, who will win: Valieva or Akatieva, when Sophia finally reaches the age set by ISU, although many say that 3A will still show themselves. and I personally agree with this, and Trusova with her quads, and Shcherbakova with a clean program will compete with the new stars of TShT. there are some doubts about Kostornaya, but certainly this is not competition from Zhenya or Alina from the show :-)

[@vasilisashakurova743]

To be honest, Zagitova is a terrible host. So, it’s for the better

[@joannm.1756]

Great last group of ladies. Petrosian got lucky. The only reason she won was bc the South Korean girl left out her last layback spin. She’s a much better technician and has better skating skills than Petrosian. At the moment, Liu is more consistent than the other US ladies but her jumps are still small and she doesn’t have the 3A clean yet. All of our seniors need to really up the ante if there’s going to be any chance of being in the last warm up!
