Putting this out there, though unlikely, I’m praying that Lori Nichol choreographs Memoirs for Evgenia....

I’m so excited for next season. Hope Evgenia stays healthy while training a quad, but I know she’s wanted to do this for a while, so instead of being anxious, I’ll be :pray:

We barely survived this season. Are we all laughing nervously? Yes or yes? ��

HELL YES! :laugh:

This season was crazy already, I don‘t want to imagine what next year will be like. But I can‘t say that I‘m not excited because I am. I‘m missing Zhenya already and I don‘t know how to survive the off-season. I‘m looking forward to the shows and even though last off-season was definitely not boring (ahem) I would prefer if this year the drama stayed elsewhere. :biggrin:

We should be realistic: no matter when she adds a quad in her program, we'll most likely see her fall time and time again, some might even be nasty falls, but it seems that's the only way to being successful at it. Sure, Elizabet seems to have nailed it pretty early on, but lets not forget that she started a few years ago. Let's just wish her health and perseverance ^_^

Zhenya gained 25 thousand more followers on instagram in 4 days. :yahoo:

Yes!! Now Zhenya, post something related to Worlds and Nike please, it‘s the perfect opportunity! :biggrin:

I hope her comeback here shows that she‘s still a force to be reckoned with and she manages to get a few more sponsors.

Just watched TSL’s video and while they can be very critical of skaters, Dave LOVED Zhenya’s 3S-3Lo. He mentioned it twice. They thought this competition was a great success for her, even though Dave doesn’t like her FP music. I love the step sequence music but for some reason the beginning gives me anxiety. Maybe I’m still scared from IdF.

They didn’t talk about placements, just what they thought about the programs overall. But I think they might have wanted her to place over Elizabet because they kept talking about how Elizabet’s PCS is a choice and came out of nowhere during 4CC. They don’t think the PCS is necessarily justified.

Either way, I was over the moon happy for Zhenya medaling.

Although I usually love their videos, I think they were far over the limits with this one. And Dave was like “Evgenia’s 2A is sooo problematic”. Like, SHE WAS HURT, and her 2A is great in practices. And he kept saying “it’s getting worse from the beginning of the season”. And the only good thing Dave had to say about Zhenya was the 3S3Lo. Her FS was not bad, I actually really like the music, but he was like “it’s the worst thing ever”. And neither him nor Jonathan thought she could medal (according to their preview video). I don’t like the way they underestimate her and are overcritical. They give lots of opinion based on not seeing the whole picture, like, for example, not watching practices etc.

I’m not a huge fan of Alina’s, but they saying she should retire was terrible. They were really disrespectful. And even when they said she wasn’t doing anything for the sport and that she should become a model. It really bothered me.

I didn’t like the way Dave tried to say Rika’s 3A wasn’t consistent based on the practice notes. He said every 5 jumps, she would pop 1. That’s not accurate, she was AMAZING on practices and popped very few ones.

I didn’t like the way Dave tried to give his opinion on the Mariah-Eunsoo thing and didn’t have the whole information. Eunsoo herself asked her agency to complain about Mariah’s behavior. Mariah didn’t excuse in any moment. Rafael was the rudest possible when Eunsoo finished her program. Something is not being told in this situation, and I don’t think we should take parts without knowing what’s actually going on. They were totally on Mariah’s side.

So, although I usually like their videos, I actually didn’t like this one. They were just very rude and disrespectful.

I feel like overnight sometime about a year ago Zhenya blossomed from cute, pretty, adorable girl to beautiful, gorgeous, stunning young woman

Congratulations, you just described this whole forum :laugh:
Not to be mean (including to myself), but we all give opinions in a very similar way. It just so happens that with them we have a name and a face to attribute to the comments too :biggrin:

Yeah, but they (TSL) act like they are specialists on the subject, and, if they have a youtube channel in which they portray themselves like Figure Skating experts, they should at least be more careful about researching and getting real evidence for their videos, because thousands of people take what they say into consideration and spread their vision.

It’s really dangerous to have a a big public online and not being careful on what you’re spreading (mainly on the Aline should retire thing, like, what were they thinking??? I’m not even her fan, but I hated those comments).

What a lovely end to a rollercoaster of a season! By far the most difficult senior season she's had and I'm so happy for the uphill way it ended. Zhenya's matured into such a wonderful young lady and the way she can tell a story even without all the showy jumps still wins me over, over almost all other skaters in the field despite a bunch of them having higher technical content and such. I can't wait to continue to follow her journey and I wish her all the best especially with the quads!!

Also I really hope Shae Lynn Borne choreographs Memoirs of Geisha bc her work with Yuzuru's Seimei was a MASTERPIECE.

Right - Shae Lynn would also be a home run! And maybe more possible, since she's worked with TCC skaters before. I don't know whether Lori has?
