I dont remember them all, but the stuff i could find quickly
Trankov said nobody cheered for Alina at the Olympics.
TAT, when Alina flopped at Worlds, said she had to lose weight
Vaits just bashes Eteri and Eteri skaters whenever she has a chance
Bestemyanova: about Olympics: "Zhenya competed, but a girl that she brought there won"
Slutskaya: "Zagitova's advantage is that some things are forgiven as she is the Olympic Champion. But this won't last long"
Both Slutskaya and Besti, after FGP, were "all hail queen rika, zagitova is done"
Note: they never say anything negative about Zhenya. Everything is awesome. Everything is great. She won? Amazing. She lost? Well she improved so much and her programs are awesome. She bombed rusnats? We still love her, and the program we never seen skated anywhere near, we already love it too.
The only 3 adequate people i'v seen so far are Butyrskaya, Averbukh and Yagudin.
I got to meet and chat with Stasya when I was volunteering at Worlds this year and she was such a lovely person. Very sweet and very humble. Say what you want about her placements but be kind, please.
If Alina will skate LP as she did in Nebelhorn, rusfed will ensure 1st place for her, imo. With her mistakes and clean Sasha, Trusova will take the gold.
So many great performances, and most countries would be thrilled to have even one of these girls. Sad for Zhenya, but I do love her new short, much better fit to her skill set.
I know what you mean the depth with the Russian ladies is unbelievable and for example wood be number one in so many countries and she might not even be in the top six in Russia. This of course in the coming years will lead to some of the Russian girls getting dual citizenship so they can compete for other countries and still not totally leave Russia. I would not blame anyone who does that.
