Hi guys! Due to my long delay and the never-ending editing I thought to just upload this video and make a more in depth conversation in the next one about how figure skaters are talking about the war. This next video will include the newest Zhenya ig post and Sara Hurtado's interview about why she left Russia. As well as where I see the future of Team Tutberidze going due to the new instability within Russia and sports.
Please do a zoom style video where we get to see your expressions while you talk. You have such a beautiful voice and it would be so nice to see your smile also.
That would be nice. Notice that Maxim Trankov deleted his Instagram post where he posted a black picture with the footnote: "embarrassed".
I still don't know what is going on, just here for the vibes
@@TheGigi829 Russia will not be allowed to participate in the Worlds and hopefully will be kicked out of the Olympics for 2026. The murderer Putin sent them out for last Olympics. I watched it and the thug put Valieva up on a literal pedestal.
Yes there is a war, and it will affect the entire world, but also there is world that keeps going on too. Don't feel bad because you have things you're interested in and want to talk about. People also need a distraction and a hobby to focus on rather then the dark things that is happening in the world. And your chnl provides that escape for so many. And there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. Thanks for the insight into this whole new world to me 😊
When I saw Zhenya posting blue and yellow sky I have literally got tears in my eyes. It is not easy to support victims of war from the authoritarian state of censorship as a public figure. Every bit of support means a lot to people affected by this cruel war 💔
@@aysenivanov7130 yikes dude
@@HainekoMikemalcom Japan has been under American occupation since 1945. You have humiliated the Japanese so much that they don't see the difference at all. If Yuzuru Hanyu had any respect for the Japanese people, he would never have gone to North America. He forgot the sufferings of his ancestors who died on Iwo Jima and under the atomic bombings of peaceful Japanese cities, which were destroyed by the "peace-loving" American military.
@@aysenivanov7130 also you obviously are inept at history, Japan was and will never be innocent. They did horrific things to their Asian neighbours and of course their government refused to apologise and want to stay as the victim. Sounds familiar huh?
@@mmyehokayyy2 as if the EU (NATO) and the US were innocent. I didn’t remember anyone ban EU and US athletes when they attacked Libya, Iraq etc. Oh wait, how about Beijing Olympic Games? Nobody boycotted the Games, meanwhile China has invaded Tibet and ill treated the Uyghur people!
@@smurfiennes the EU and US weren't trying to take over the countries and claim them as their own though, were they?? 🙄
"we will talk about yuzuru hanyu, do not worry"
commentators talking about yuzu in the 2030 olmyps
Yuzuru can take it! If he just did a normal non boundary pushing routine like the other men he would win most of the time. And it would be a great Olympics if that boring Nathan would dissappear.
@@Lotsielots I hope you gained a big ass reward from Hanyu on hating on Nathan. Oh !and yeah ! Big congratulations to gold medal Nathan Chen!!!!
@@kayxiong4204 Ich glaube nicht, dass sie Nathan Chen hasst. Es geht um seinen Laufstil, der auch mir eher akrobatisch und weniger musikalisch bzw. künstlerisch erscheint. Das scheint insgesamt beim Eislaufen zu einem großen Problem zu werden. Viel Sprünge, wenig Fokus auf den Ausdruck. Wegen Meinungsverschiedenheiten muss man nicht aufeinander losgehen. Das wäre so als wenn sich Fans von Pop/Rockmusik streiten, welche Band besser ist. Leben und leben lassen!
I remember Michael Phelps last olympics in Rio 2016. He said in an interview he wanted to take it ALL in, not just the comepetition. He wanted to interact with the other athletes on the village, he wanted to see the fans and take pics with the volunteers. He said he never get the full "being on the olympics experience" cause he was always so focused on winning it all. I got the same vibes from Yuzuru these olympics, so I guess he knows for sure it was farewell
It would be heartbreaking if Yuzu retires because we ONLY literally see him during competitions. Like where is he even??
When yuzuru said in the interview “ it’s more important for me to land quad axel then win” all I thought was, only yuzuru hanyu can say that
It's funny, because it's almost exactly word for word what Nathan said about these Olympics too. He said that last time he failed because his mindset was "I want to win, I want to win", but this time he just wanted to enjoy it and you could tell that he did enjoy every single second of that experience, both on and off the ice. I mean that's definitely the right mindset to have.
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT :(
@@RedShoes29 he said in one interview I believe that if he ever retired he would want to be a coach, so don’t give up hope yet :)
Honestly, I think Kostornaia should skate for another country like Georgia which is what Anastasiia Gubanova did. She would more likely succeed than trying to compete in Russia against a conveyor belt of young girls from Eteri. All she needs is time to heal, take better care of her body, and less drama in her life. Trusova should leave as well before she gets overtrained until her body falls apart and discarded and replaced by a younger talent.
So true. One more argument for leaving Rus is the prospect of being banned for years, meaning no international career for the girls who stay domestic. Very sad and undeserved, but reality must be faced, and the best girls, Sasha, Anna, Aliona, etc. should consider how to deal with it. Big changes in life are hard, but one is always rewarded in the end. Time to move ...
she might not be able to. the federation(rus) can just deliberately delay the preparation of the documents, so that the sportsperson isn't able to switch the country they are competing for. and for the athletes as good as Aliona and Sasha this might be the case.
and i truly wish they did skate for another country with another coach. it hurts to see them so broken.
She probably can’t because it’s an idealogical thing here. Athletes are raised on socialistic princeps here. Young athletes are sponsored by the government since 3 y.o.
Kostornaiya is one of the greatest figure skaters this system produced and they won’t let such a great skater to compete for another country unless she has background in that country or that country is willing to ally with Russia and not be a fully democratic capitalistic republic like Georgia is willing to
She may got the chance for attending big competitions but she wouldn’t have Eteri bonus to get any medals in these competitions
Yes, I would love to continue seeing her beautiful skating. She may not do the quads but I would watch her over a program with 5 (potentially messy) quads with little artistry any day. Hopefully the RusFed would release her. I was so happy that they released Anastasia because I have always loved her skating as well and now she can compete at more international competitions.
I am still angry that Eteri insulted her to the press by saying she should have competed at Nationals with a broken arm! Hopefully, Buianova or any other future coaches will take better care of her health.
Also, congrats to your "beginners guide to team Tutberidze" video reaching the 1Mil mark.
thank you!! gotta work on part 2 now
@@paolala shouldn't it be now the "advanced guide to team Tutberidze" thou? 🙂
@@paolala ooh, I’m excited to hear you’re working on a part 2! I’m very much looking forward to it :) love your videos!
@@paolala there's not much drama but can you make one for Yuzuru? I was surprised to know there was so much drama around his senior debut.
Poor Kosto.. she deserves so much better. 😞💔 I hope she can have a better experience with Buyanova.
"Now I think his chapter is closing"
Yuzuru Hanyu talking about the olympics 2026/30 lmao
facts
If he makes 4 olympics that would be insane. I’d love to see it :)
@@HainekoMikemalcom well plushenko wasn’t attempting quad axels and injuring himself as much or as harshly, I would assume. As long as Yuzu wants to still compete he will tho, so I wish him what he wants
Regarding what you said about Evgenia probably not leaving Sambo 70. You have to consider that Eteri pretty much monopolizes the figure skating world over there and has all the connections to ice shows in Russia and such. You constantly see Evgenia skate in Ilia Averbukh's ice shows and Alina skate in Tatiana Navka's ice shows. Being in Eteri's good graces allows her to have a career in show skating in Russia now that she's retired. Although, I am sure Japan and Canada would invite her to continue skating in their ice shows like they have in the past, COVID makes it more complicated with the travel restrictions.
As for Sasha, I wouldn't be surprised if they are keeping her because of her reputation as the "quad queen" in Russia and her level of popularity. I wouldn't be surprised if she wants to leave but is trapped in a contract with Team Tutberidze OR she stays because she knows she will get the Eteri bonus (SO CORRUPT 😔).
what about other skating camps like Mishin's? Are his skaters somehow under the grasps of Eteri?
@@janechoy2073 I think so. Liza actually made a heartbreaking statement, saying how she didn't deserve to go to the Olympics because she wasn't as good as the 3 Eteri girls selected. Many think that she said that as a way to stay in Eteri's good graces (kissing up to her a bit) to ensure that she can have a career in ice shows seeing as how she will probably retire sooner rather than later 😓
sasha did get medal of the order "for merit of the fatherland" which is the honor below what Anna and Kamila got. most of them got some sort of medal except for a few!
Was that because she got the silver medal or because she revealed so much about the abuse and trauma these girls endure in her very honest outburst? Honestly, I respect her so much for being real and expressing righteous indignation. I hope Sasha goes forward in the way she wants. I see her having strength of character for being true to her emotions and self. Maybe strength of the individual is not respected as much in Russia (? I honestly don’t know). She is strong in body and spirit. I wish her happiness. And to know she is valued.
I was astonished to learn that these state awards come with a lifetime pension, less for the lesser awards. So her upset at not having a gold medal could literally be connected to her future financial security. That knowledge puts it in a new light for me.
@@m.h.6499 No clue but Kami got a higher class than her (same medal with Anna) despite not placing. Evgenia also got the honour Anna got even when she got silver for 2018's Olympics. Sasha not getting gold also affects her family monetarily as she's not getting the first place money prize/higher pensions.
@@Nice-sz4ee Thanks, Nicoelle, I didn’t realize it affected the whole family as well as the individual pension. So she might have felt family pressure (not theirs necessarily but her own on their behalf), if she thought her silver medal might mean lesser financial reward for the whole family. I heard her father helped her (as a hockey coach).
But I see what you mean about Evgenia and Kamilla. So it might not have been the color of the medal after all….That makes me wonder if the girls are instructed always to behave as model citizens. I don’t know if Sasha knew what the consequences might be if she let loose like that. I tend to think it was the trauma of feeling mistreated and possibly abused, so I respect her for being real and standing up for herself. If she knew the potential financial consequences, it poured out of her anyway.
It really was (I think) rude of the camera man to follow her so the world saw and gave her no private moment. I wonder how the cameraman would feel if he knew recording her might have changed the reward outcome for her and her family….
It also feels unfair (to us, perhaps), because she pioneered some of those quads. Thanks very much for writing..
@@Nice-sz4ee maybe Kamila got the higher medal because she got gold with the team?
Kamila is a team gold medalist, even if they take the gold medals away, they still get the prize because the country believes they deserve it, for example at the summer olympics Arina Averina (4th) got a bronze medalist´s prize and Dina (silver) got the gold medalist´s prize.
Also, at the summer olympics they got a different order (and car) for gold, silver and bronze medals, Sasha got that one because of her medal, the scandal had nothing to do with it.
I was really hoping Aliona was going to move to Mark Kondratiuk's coach, Svetlana Sokolovskaya. She seems to have a good philosophy on balancing skating with life and stressed the importance of not exerting one's self in a fairly recent interview. Whatever happens, I just hope she's happy and if she wants, has a long career ahead.
I think that would be good for Aliona. She needs a coach that not only understands her physical and her limit but understands her mentally
@@cynthia1731 Yes! All of her skaters seem to be thriving professionally and happy! Mark just won Europeans, Alexander did okay and Anastasia Gubanova had good programs this season and is doing well. She gives off firm but warm vibes. Even though she has several skaters of a similar caliber, it seems like her team is a relatively low-stress competitive environment. Aliona just needs a coach she can grow with and while Eteri wasn't ever going to be that person, I don't think her new coach is giving me quite those vibes (but I'll like to be proven wrong).
Kostornaia is already too injured to be saved :(
I am more proud of Evgenia now for speaking about Russian conflict in Ukraine than I have ever been for any win or achievement of hers. She risks so much by even alluding to it and no other Russian figure skater has spoken up!
This video was a journey! Amazed by the brave protesters in Russia. Sad that Trusova wasn't honored by her gov't?? Moment of appreciation for Nathan Chen, first Asian American male skater to win gold and rep children of immigrants in the US. I have waited literally 20 years for an Asian American champion, since the Michelle Kwan heartbreak Olympics.
It's sad that Nathan's victory lap was cut short. Barely a month later and the world is falling apart. I want him to stay so badly.
Paola, Thank you for mentioning Russian invasion on Ukraine. We, Poles have more then a 1.5 million refugees from Ukraine in our country currently and circa 100k are arriving each day. I am personaly hosting 11 people (3 mums and 8 little children) that are traumatized for life. Thank you for making a statement. Thank you for not being silent. The more we speak the more chance russians will dare to speak and react. I hope you reach the broad fs community in Russia. Go Zhenya for her comment 💙💛
I heard that they took kids to the police station in Russia for protesting. I saw pics of the distressed kids at the precinct but that’s all the information I got. If it’s true that’s so unfair they looked so terrified. So scary to be an athlete in Russia as well. Winning gold medals is part of their patriarchy so no wonder they have to be careful of their words. I also wanna know why Sasha didn’t get government honours? Is it because she got a different honour?
Alina and Zhenya got the same award in 2018… it’s totally subjective
After Olympic, it is always retirement season. I was excited before The Olympic and I will cry a river after each retirement announcement for sure
I just wanted to say I completely agree about Yuma! Honestly he was a bright spot in a very heartbreaking Olympics.
Aliona is my favorite Russian skater, and I really hope the best for her. Even though I feel like it's unlikely because of her injuries and maybe being held back due to leaving Eteri, I hope she proves everyone wrong and show that she can make it
i want to gossip but i have no one to gossip with so i love hearing you talk about all this stuff!
Same for me haha! :)
that is the genesis of this channel so thank you so much ❤
Okay, but honestly? Yeah I think Nathan will retire and I mean even his coach told him as much (if you believe the translations). Nathan has his gold and he is in Yale - I don't see him putting much more into skating. He has "done it all".
With Yuma - listen I was there when everyone and their grandma told that Shoma will kick Hanyu off his throne. We all saw what happened. Yuma is young and I would wait a bit longer to see what comes down the road as now he has a good amount of pressure on him to be the best. Also Shoma seriously by this point has found his stride and just flows with it. He is the chaos child and let us just have Lambiel deal with that.
Yuzuru Hanyu pretty much just vibed and gave free performances to the volunteers - the dude was on vacation. It wasn't the Beijing Olympics, it was Yuzuru Hanyus extended practice sessions and the Olympics happened to be at the same venue. He was with the ice dance and pairs win the only shining happy light we had at this mess of an event.
I agree this Olympics fully closed an era. Pyeongchang started it and Beijing ended it with a swan song honestly.
Kosto...jesus fuck will we have a purge at the Eteri camp when the transfer window opens? It feels like it to me.
I’ve never been happier of having chosen to support Zhenya. It’s crappy that you need to stay in Team T if you want to have a career after retirement but it’s the way it is. Hoping for Trusova to change coach though.
I’m still not over Boikova and Kozlovskii not medaling… that shattered me I love them so much
They literally put me to sleep. I got up very early to watch the Canadians and was perfectly fine and alert until they skated.
@@brynneholt1990 th-cam.com/video/IMowGhUN6EE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for putting out vdos during this difficult time, especially ones that touches on this stressful political subject. And massive thank you for sharing places we can give our support.
I feel like you don’t talk about unfair judging enough. I’m not saying you HAVE to talk about it but as someone who has been getting more people into this sport I think you should let those people know that the judges’ scores are always complete bullshit. In your video about the ladies event you briefly mentioned that Wakaba was underscored but that was all. You didn’t really discuss how ALL of the Korean and Japanese ladies were extremely underscored, while Kami, Sasha and Anna were all extremely overscored. You didn’t mention that Wakaba and Kamila had the exact same technical content in their short programs, and Wakaba had a better short program performance than Kamila, but somehow placed almost 10 points lower than Kamila. Wakaba even scored lower with a 3A than she did in the team event sp where she did a 2A. Pretty much everyone I know agrees that the short program should have been Waka first, Kaori second and Young third. As for the free skate, I don’t feel like going into detail right now cause I’m getting tired of typing but the scores were just as ridiculous. And it wasn’t just the ladies either. I’m just talking about the ladies cause I don’t really keep up with the other fields but from what I’ve seen, the judging was also bad there too.
I thought the judging at Oly's was some of the worst I've ever seen in recent years tbh!
I don’t think Sasha will leave she sees that the only way to win is with tutberidze and her dad sees that too no way in hell she’s moving. Plus she just landed five quads under eteri too so yeah. Great video as always queen. ❤️❤️👑👑⛸⛸🌪🌪🔥🔥
hope raf would take her！
I think she can leave now easily. She is pretty much set up for the next 10 years. Between sponsorship, earnings and TV - she won't have to work at all in her life, if she is pro-active and smart with her money. The world, as they say, is her oyster.
so you think she has much future before getting retired? ,xx
eteri’s methods are damaging. with the amount of quads she’s been doing since her early teen years, it’s only a matter of time until her developing body suffers from eteri’s training methods
The Olympics made me so sad for her, seriously. I don't think she will leave but I desperately want her too anyway.
Now it's a little more obvious why Sasha Trusova was so upset about not getting a gold medal 🥇.
It is a coincidence that the dutiful children, Zagitova and shcherbakova, who also happens to be Dani G’s fave girls are the ones who ended up with a gold medal? I’m not starting a conspiracy. I’m just dumbfounded by the unlikely coincidence of it all.
Love and care goes a long way. And age timing.
@@kaitlynn9201 True. Genuine and sincere support is a game changer.
I hope Trusova leaves Eteri. I would be just as happy if she got kicked out! Who cares what Eteri thinks about Trusova? Trusova deserves so much more.
Sasha would never be kicked out, she literally kept eteri ahead with her quads. It would look too bad for eteri and sambo 70
@@cynthia1731 you kidding right? Sasha the flop queens keeping Sambo 70 ahead?
@@minus21334 well if she didn’t eteri wouldn’t have too many reasons why there skaters got much higher score and Sasha landing quads made all her team mates land them so eteri had a literal army of quad jumpers whether the technique was bad or not they still got the points
@@cynthia1731 you are not making any sense. it's time to drop that tinted eye glass. Eteri girls werent the only one that didnt get calls for sh1t. ISU relaxes rules for girls as they knew it's hard for them to make quads.
and you'd strike lottery if Sasha could get a clean program, which is the story of her career. If Eteri is relying on her inconsistency, she's fked.
@@minus21334 obviously a clean program is going to be near impossible with 5 quads. Sasha could easily have a clean program with 2-3 quads
nothing but respect for MY gold medalist Kaori Sakamoto
I love your commentaries. You do a really good job of covering everything and keeping us all in the loop. Thank you!
This war has been going on since 2014. Also I'm so glad Nathan Chen won! His free program performance was so iconic!
That’s just not true about the war. Yes since russia annexed the Krym there has been fighting against Russian backed separatists but this is no comparison to the full scale war happening right now. But I feel this is not a good place to discuss this topic here
@@stillx1211 there is no 'full scale war'...
@@inasible omg tell this the ukrainian families whose fathers and sons have to fight there. Like wtf you even made it here to YT you even saw the videos shown here and you have the ability to look up different sources. Like what else do you need to be convinced just search Ukraine and you will find enough evidence that what’s happening is a war. And yes maybe for the russians it isn’t but for the people in Ukraine it definitely is
@@stillx1211 if it was a full scale it would be over in a few days. Of course for normal people like us is a terrible thing to happen but is correct to call the things are they are too to avoid misconceptions. With big countries like us or China, Russia a full scale is going with everything, I'm sure you saw Irak or Afganistan lives. I just want to make clear your mispronunciation, is that incorrect? So no overreact please is enough with unuseful politician doing it now
Iconic? It was incredibly boring and basic. Skating by numbers/ jumps. No artistry, no interpreting the music.
As a proud Kostobot, I’m so unsure what to think about this coach change, as we’ve seen, Eteri’s methods produced Aliona at her very best during the 2019 season and now it feels like all her work will go to waste as she may never get her Olympic moment. While I agree that Tut’s ways are vile and and reform, it feels even more unfair that Aliona will never get to reap the rewards of her “ intense training.” ALSO I just want to see her nail that New York New York short program with a triple axel as I really that that is all it would take to reset the world record.
Im waiting everyday for your new video xD so many things are happening right now and I literally hope to see soon a video where you spill the tea
I love your videos!! Every single one makes me feel like I'm on facetime with a friend who's spilling some tea :D Thank you for this update video, especially during such a stressful time geopolitically
awww thank you!
"wrap my arm around" I think that makes way more sense than "wrap my head" ! Great video! I love your commentary about figure skating!
Thank you for guiding us through the context (*ahem drama*) surrounding Figure Skating. Found your channel while looking for a guide on Olympic figure skating-it’s been a wild ride since then! Love your videos 💕
Alysa Liu gave the best statement I've ever heard that girl has a lot of intelligence and wisdom to say that. I commend her. Same thing with the UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell that cited corruption and said I don't know what the hell is going on so don't make me go fight basically
What did Alysa say?
@@elizabethburrell4756 13:30
That message doesn't look like a script from an adult speech writer. Alisa Liu is a smart girl, high IQ.
That really was the ultimate "clap back" response 😂 I think the comment was referring to how she indirectly responded to the doping situation with Kamila and the Team Tutberidze controversy on a livestream. But that case is much different, as a fellow competitive figure skater, she has more of a grasp on the ins and outs of that situation. With so much going on with the war, it is really important to try and avoid the spreading of misinformation.
Second one here!!! Kosternia is, and has been, my absolute favorite...she is the total package and i hope she continues to skate...we shall see...love your videos so much, so thanks for all your hard work...also, i DO think Russians need to suffer some sort of punishment for the abuse and the doping...the Olympic drama started because of DOPING, not because of the war...let's not forget that part please! I really hope Eteri loses her students...she deserves it...sorry not sorry.
doping is common among western-sphere athleetes. it's just that Russia wasnt invited to the "asthma" club
Doping from last year December... Ok...
@@matvejkap yes, doping from last December...doesn't matter when, it;s the fact that it happened at all...
@@lizabethfeig1705 like, it has been already told that the dose was very small and all the other tests taken later hasn't shown anything. I don't think that if test of any other athlete from any other country from 2 months ago before the current competition showed sth like that it would lead to such a scandal (and Kamila had already been suspended for a period of time because of this test at the moment. At least from what I've heard. Not really a fan of figure skating, so might be wrong. Maybe she wasn't suspended at all)
Did you know that Jana Rudkovskaya made a very empathetic post abt how she has a Ukranian father, Ukranian friends… and then deleted it and is now sounding like her posts are written by the Kremlin
Plushenko (Rudkovskaya's husband) is Ukrainian. But he didn't say a word against his country. He fully supports the special operation in Ukraine. No one is forcing him. He does it himself.
@@aysenivanov7130 EEK! And I thought his academy was *not* funded by the Russian government

Also that fact that eteri turned off the visibility of her followings on her instagram and as well on team tutberidze, makes me chuckle 💀💀💀
Cause she unfollowed aliona again, and people were commenting on it lol
I LOVE the way you describe the performers, like their energy and personalities.
I’ve been checking every single day to see if you’ve posted a new video. So glad to get on today and see you did! Great to have you back!!!
ekaterina posted on her ig too :) she's russian but represents poland
i have a gut feeling Yuma will win in 2026.. honestly i want that for him. I love his skating. Also i hope they raise the age.... maybe sasha might make it... god i hope so.. also i hope sasha leaves eteri... and aliona should switch countries so she can keep skating..
The only person who could have beat Nathan Chen had 2 disasterous programs. Same as when Nathan Chen got beat by him 4 years prior. I feel like it's kindof a shame, honestly. Honestly, now we'll never know who wins when both performers have the night of their life.
Yuzuru Hanyu has said he isn't retiring, I believe, and Shoma Uno for sure isn't. However, this would make him 31 at the next Olympics. I'm sure his joints are already feeling it.
I have not had anyone to think about all this with. Thanks!
"he has done it all"
BUT WHY YUZU WHY ARE U NOT SATISFIED 😭😭
also fantasy on ice 2022 is happening so lets hope yuzu will perform there
Looks like kostornaia is at the end of your career and heading to retirement. So heartbreaking 💔 such a beautiful, talented, unique skater. Hope Trusova leaves that Toxic environment
The most NATURALLY talented out of the Eteri camp imo. None if her jumps are ever forced looking, or using some weird technique.
Not only Shoma Uno has two Olympic silver medals, he also won silver at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics.
He has one Olympic silver and Olympic one brozne
@@archiecostello3656 I stand corrected.
Figure skating news stops for NOTHING baby! Keep up the good work
Am I the only who believes Eteri and Putin would be the greatest Russian evil couple?
No it wouldn’t work bc eteri will want ISU to let Russians back into competitions.
Lmao. Their byproduct would be voldemort
@@bobababy6089 yooooooooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Do you actually know what happened on February the 24th besides Russia invading Ukraine? Eteri’s birthday. Coincidence? I don’t think so 🤭 #conspiracytheory
@@anais.27 cue the Illuminati music
Has there been a decision about the doping scandal in the team competition? Will the Russians keep their gold medal and when will there be the award ceremony?
No, nothing yet. Eteri etc are to be investigated as well, but obviously that can't be carried out right now.
I'd have thought the B sample results would be out by now (unless the paralympics mean they're still busy at the lab, of course)
I don't think Yuzuru is done. I think he is inured and wants to heal. He loves skating, and if it isn't in competition, he will reinvent something new.
I dont think talking about figure skating is frivolous at all. Even in dark times we all need some light, something less serious to talk about every once in awhile just to get through. Keep doing what you do ! Cant wait for worlds its gonna be interesting without the Russians
Figure skating is incredibly dark and corrupt if anything. Very serious and swimming in bribes.
ikr, its like shes acting like figure skating doesnt mean anything its a literal job
Pairs is going to be super interesting with no Russians and no Chinese. Americans might get a world championship with a giant asterisk.
Diana Davis (Eteri’s daughter) also posted about the war on instagram. That’s quite brave❤️
Liza Tutkamisheva also made a post/statement supporting ukrain!
I hope Trusova gets a new citizenship, because all that talent to be wasted because of a ban is too much.
Trusova is a patriot of her country and will not go anywhere. You wouldn't understand that. You only care about money and personal well-being. Sasha is not like that.
She can’t leave after all they gave to her
No. It would be too dishonorable. She has been funded by the state, represented Russia at the top level and has even been given a high honour with gifts. It would be very dishonorable to represent another country, and also impossible.
Her nickname is literally the Russian rocket xD
🔵🟡🙏 thank you for mentioning the drama of people of Ukraine! More than a million refugees from Ukraine came to Poland now... mostly women and children

Since after March Break, we won’t have to wear masks anymore (In canada/Ontario/Toronto), I hope that they’ll go under a coach like Brian Orser who will be a much better coach than Tutberidze and Plushenko.
Dear Paola La, Thanks so much for your thoughtful analysis and heartfelt reactions to so many heartbreaking events. I have not been able to watch figure skating TH-cam videos since the Olympics; every time I see a picture of Valieva she looks like she's aged many years and her face looks like she is wearing a mask. I'm so sorry she was embroiled in the middle of this madness. Eteri was her head coach, so needs to take responsibility, which she will NEVER do. A young life terribly wounded, if not totally ruined. May Eteri and her cohorts rot in _____. Forgive my french.
No one especially famous people should be obligated to follow politics. Not everyone is interested and not everyone can understand. Reading a few twitter threads and news doesnt give you the complete story. This war goes back all the way to years ago and it’s a very complex situation. I think a lot of people can comes to terms that innocent people shouldn’t die and that we all pray for no war, but specifically knowing the whole story and how it started, let’s be real only a minority understands completely. Adult celebrities doesnt know shit about this, what do you expect a 15/16 yr old who doesnt follow politics to know. Celebrities and famous people has twisted politics many times in the past snd they could easily do it accidentally. So imo ESPECIALLY if you have a following unless you completely follow politics and do your research i say its better to just not say anything.
@@kara1460 again she’s a literal kid. Even if you say it is important to know politics, which to a certain extent i agree, it doesn’t mean she’s going to suddenly learn just for her fans. This is just the reality where some people don’t understand much and i rather have them say nothing than bits and pieces causing misinformation. We can all 100% sympathize with the people of Ukraine but the reason why there’s a disagreement with who’s fault is who, is because it’s a complex situation like it or not but I’m not going to talk about politics in a figure skating section.
Well and it’s debatable whether any of the celebrities really have a full choice in what they say. In Russia, they are definitely afraid of going against Putin. In the US, going against the woke mob will literally get you cancelled and they will blacklist you. The sad part is that people expect celebrities to take their political side and if they do not they will demand they state their opinion.
I don't think he needs it, but Yuzu the man himself said he's not thinking about retirement (it was half serious but I believe he said he might try to qualify for 2026 xD)
I thought you were going to talk about Donovan Carrillo since he won the most memorable Olympic moment haha. Anyways thank you for your effort, I love your channel ❤️
No literally I would die for him lmao
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and heart.
I've been waiting for this 🥺 thank you.
I'm glad you chose to talk about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Obviously this is a figure skating channel, but you addressed the situation properly and talked about its effects upon the figure skating world. On that topic, I'd love to see a follow up video about the 2022 World championship and how it was impacted by the lack of Russian skaters. Also, why does Trusova get so ignored? That breaks my heart to see how poorly the Russian government treats her in particular, even while rewarding other silver medalists.
That's a firetruck... 😊
Thank you for all you do!
hi paola, i just wanted to say i am a very very new figure skating fan (like a month lol, but i’ve always been fascinated by it) and i am enjoying your videos so much, they’re so informative and they help me understand things that i wouldn’t have otherwise! keep up the great work!!!❤️❤️
thank you! and welcome to this circus lol
Paola is great and very passionate. For even more skating gossip, information education etc 😆, watch ‘the skating lesson’ on TH-cam. It’s been amazing lately, exemplary coverage of current situation. they ask so have great interviews with experts too! It’s a very valuable resource!
your videos make my day a million times better
21:47 why does kostornaia have such a good euler? 👍 only young you's is better. I wish kostornaia the absolute best, she's a jewel.
Shoma Uno is a very expressive and beautiful athlete
Actually, Sasha received an award too, I just don't know wich one has more... value?
Russia's official state news agency TASS reported that Kamila Valieva, Alexander Gallyamov, Mark Kondratyuk, Anastasia Mishina, Victoria Sinitsina and Anna Shcherbakova were awarded the Order of Friendship.
Nikita Katsalapov received the Order of Honour.
Alexandra Trusova recived the First Class Order of Merit for the Fatherland.
Oh! So much drama these days! I wonder what Buyanova thinks of the whole situation with Alena, the rumor has it that Buyanova hates Eteri a lot since she had a very long lasting affair with her husband, and some even think that her husband is Diana’s bio dad.
3:14 here after the Worlds, Shoma be like : Nah nah not this time😂
Exactly what I was feeling to comment, boy is here to stay
I wish I discovered your channel earlier, your videos are great and I enjoy all of them!
Anna Shcherbakova is orion the hunter's weapon
love u so much
❤
Why russian figure skating looks like a mix of mexican soap opera with low income reality show? So much drama in the life of girls who aren't even legal adults yet. There's no love in that kind of environment, only greed, jealousy and self-destruction. So tragic.
So I'm primarily a gymnastics fan who follows figure skating more casually (mostly through your videos haha). So when the IOC initially made the recommendation for international sports federations to ban Russian/Belarusian athletes there were already Russian gymnasts in Doha for a world cup. So the FIG (international gymnastics federation) didn't have the ban take place until after that competition. At the competition a male Russian gymnast wore a symbol of support for the Russian troops in Ukraine (a Z) on his chest during a medal ceremony with a Ukrainian athlete. The female Ukrainian athlete there refused to take part in medal ceremonies with the Russian gymnasts and had her own moment on the podium alone. I think this situation showed that the ISU/FIG/other sports federations made the right call in banning Russian/Belarusian athletes. It's sad because obviously not all athletes in Russia support Putin and they're all being fed propaganda but the safety and comfort of the Ukrainian athletes needs to be put first in these situations.
Why hasn’t Eteri been fined by OSU?🙁
because she did nth wrong? it's just the internet fenzy domianted by anglo-sphere wanted her banned for kicking their asses
Povera Aliona, la più bella e la più libera !!! Aiutiamola per favore
Something about your commentary just makes me grin; I think you're speaking my thoughts or something. Either way, very funny and familiar. Thank you for the great video!
Ilia malinin will dominate skating
I love Alysa Liu!!! What a wonderful girl!
Here comes the tea 🍵🐸
Firstly, I am thinking of the people of Ukraine. I sincerely hope this doesn't drag out for much longer. They're going through too much.
I cannot find any info about alyona's first day with buianova. Anything?
In the current situation I think it´s the best to change to another country. Possible the Russian athletes will be banned for a long time. Maybe nor the next 1-2-3 seasons.
So Sashas Annas best time will give them no international competitions. I think its better for both to change. Anna can go to Swiss to her sister. Sasha already last year she wants to go to the USA and train with Rafael. I hope she will do this. Because I think she can improve again a lot. Hope to see her being first ever
landing all Ultra-C elements in one Free Skate.
Where did you get all this nonsense from? Anna and Sasha are patriots and will never change their citizenship. They would rather give up a sports career than citizenship. You Western people do not understand that there is love and pride for your country.
@@aysenivanov7130 but why would you want to live in a country where people are put in prison for protesting against war. This is not Russias war it is Putins war and I feel bad that people in Russia will most likely suffer for what their president did
@@mariecharlotte3880 This is their livelihood. The rest of their life depends upon the government pensions and monetary awards they will win for themselves while competing for a few short years when they are young. There is huge patriotism in Russian sports, and they are willing to support their champion athletes for life. If they move countries, they lose everything, including their national identity. And then what will they do when they retire? You said it yourself, this is Putin's war, not Russia's war. They are extremely proud to be Russian, and they know that his actions do not represent their home country. Why should they have to give all that up just because their country is being run my a tyrannical, authoritarian dictator?
@@townfool4682 personally because I would just not feel safe in Russia anymore. I don't know how much they know, because of propaganda and I assume they are quiete priviledged (not in a bad way, they deserve it) but Russias economy will most likely collapse. What will they do with Russian money if Russia cannot Import anything. I understand that they love their country because they have every right to, but as long as their president continues to lead the country I dont think they will be able to compete or live their live as they used to
@@townfool4682 i dont think they care much about the government. From an athletes perspective, yes we will try to represent our country but worst case scenario most of us would rather represent another country than to be banned from competing especially if we think it would be years of ban, in this case russia. Even if someone says they’re patriotic, i doubt that they would really sacrifice their whole entire life just for this. She wouldn’t really be called a betrayer either if she moved because honestly most russians dont agree to war either. Whether if it’s possible to change citizenship in this current situation , I’m not sure. But i think some of them would consider it if they could
Ive been waiting for this video since the kostornaia news, thank you for making this video and thank you for talking about the invasion in ukraine
Wait, so you don't think Chen and Yuzu will be on next Olympics? :( it might be my only chance to see them live! :(
There’s no way papadakis and cizeron are retiring this soon
Hi Paola! Thank you so much for mentioning russian invаsiоn. I'm Ukrainian, my heart was melted by this. (If here are skeptics: yes, we do have wi-fi in some of the bo_mb_shelters in big cities, also a lot of us are hiding in our homes).
Thanks for all the links you kindly added to the description box. This really helps, we also are helping each other here in local communities.
And thanks for your video, it is a breath of fresh air to everyone who loves figure skating) Please keep going!
And to everyone: stay safe!
JUSTICE FOR SAHSA!!! i still have not mentally recovered from the womens singles... i cant believe putin didnt give her an honor like the other girls :( i wish she would leave eteri again but i know it wont happen bc if she leaves her, she'll be scammed out of way more than just a gold medal. the eteri bonus is real
Write the surname of the president of Russia with a capital letter!
@@aysenivanov7130 well i didnt capitalize sasha or eteri or even my name lol
im just ~unique~ like that
@@carolinekathleen5277 You must capitalize the name of the great leader of Russia, despite your 'unique'
@@aysenivanov7130 did you know he bent a frying pan in half
@@carolinekathleen5277 Putin can bend anyone in half. Now he is defending Russia in Ukraine, which America and Europe are using against Russia. It's a shame for you to disrespect the great Putin who is fighting the world's evil alone.
Beautiful video Paola. Commendable work my luv!
Could you do a video on who you think is likely to take Gold at Worlds now that Russia has been banned?
Hey im quite New here and im enjoying your vids! I have a question though why is Medvedeva still in tutberidze’s team? I thought she retired?
She has from competitions but not from other skating opportunities like tv or ice shows. Eteri takes a big cut of all their earnings, sponsorships, all kinds. kind of like a manager I think! I heard up to 40%. No idea why she can’t leave now but Eteri has so much power and clout maybe she feels trapped or scared to? She left once and faced back lash etc
I’m very excited to see who is coming in the next generation
I always thought that ramen hair lady would keep Kostornaia since she's rumored to keep 40% of all skater earnings. I suppose she already has enough cash cows.
