I need an answer to this question too. Do skaters draw their skating order for the freeskate or not?
Zhenya is a star! You go girl!:hap57: The odds in Boston were stacked against her, pushing the Americans at all costs, but she did it, against all odds! Made Russia proud, that's for sure. :yes2:
Yep, it really says a lot about her that she could do this even in an anti-Russian environment. She is truly one amazing young woman.
Happy that Zhenya is the World champion - well deserved I say 
She is the one Russian lady I enjoy the most watching throughout this season - lyrical, balletic and quirky n cute off ice. For haters who hate on her world record - well might I say with her progression through the season that it's coming anyway? not like it came out of nowhere.

The skaters in the Free are arranged in that way, that they are divided into groups by the referee while at least one competitor is present . The goal is to have even groups, based on the total amount of skaters. 24 skaters = 4 groups = 6 skaters in each group. At which point the skaters skate in said group, will be decided by lot, in which the best placed draws first.

Clip from Japanese tv. What does she say in Japanese, anyone know? Mao was so kind to her, it's lovely to see.

Why are there Japanese subtitles if she is actually speaking in Japanese? :/
Is she fluent in Japanese?

I am sure she's not fluent, but she's interested in Japanese culture and probably has learned some phrases. Maybe the subtitles are there because she didn't speak it perfectly clearly. Sometimes even native English speakers with heavy accents are subtitled here in the US.

You can see subtitles almost all the time on Japanese TV. First, for disabled people that can not hear but can read. Second, because there are extremely many homonymous in Japanese language- words you pronounce the same and even write them the same if you use only hiragana but they have different kanji- Chinese ideograms and of course different meaning. Third, because sometimes there is a need to clarify what the speaker says- I mean to correct the phrasing a little. Another reason is because even Japanese people might use different dialects, so with subtitles they put it into standard Japanese. Finally, because the speaker's Japanese is really bad and you cannot quite pick up what he/she says.
The last one is the case of Medvedeva. She tries hard to produce that "Sailor Moon" song, and the words might be OK but her accent is quite funny
, Anyway she memorized the words so I give her credit for that. BTW, I am sure the Japanese public is delighted.:agree:

Many thanks for your clarification!
