Nastya was denied a Grand Prix event before she left cska and before her former petulant coach went public that she was expelled. Has Buyanova been expelled yet for ruining her part of cska? She has lived off Adelina far too long.First of all, using national competitions is debatable.
Then, Tarusina retired (injury related, which fed likely knew ahead of us)
Vasilieva stayed in juniors (makes sense not giving her senior GPs and not throwing her under the 3A bus while possible).
Gubanova was kicked from CSKA by Buianova, of course she is not getting senior GPs after that.
I too hope the Federation won't make the decision for her. You made some really good points. Leonova is unique and different from her much younger compatriots.I hope whenever she will retire, she will do it because she wants to rather than pushed by the federation or the media.
Because all the biggest talents now are always the youngest, there is always this push from the media and public consensus to make any skater older than 17-18 look too old for this sport, and i think this is so wrong.
Even after she retires from competitive figure skating, i hope she will do shows and eventually start to choreograph programs or work on theaters, i miss her performances and personality, i don't like how the newcomers, despite how talented, they all share a very similar packaging with little changes.
