bouncing pebbles on the Volga (I suppose she is in Volgograd)
Well if it's true, at least there's some hope she will start missing ice again... like it happened before...It seems like Nastya has switched to...roller skating?
Настя ты перешла на роликовый вид спорта?

Tbh, I’m not sure how practical it would be for her to switch countries. With RusFeds new rules regarding switching I think she’d have to wait two years since her last international competition (Sept 2019) and 1 year since her last national competition (Feb 2020) before competing for the new country. Also, she mentioned before that she has financial issues so without state schools and funding it would probably be more difficult for her to pay for the training she needs to skate at the elite level.According to Google Translate (I don't speak Russian), she replies in one of the comments that she won't be at test skates because she's no longer part of the national team. That's too bad; I like her skating. I wonder if RusFed would let her compete for a different country, or if she'd even be interested.

All that being said, I adore Nastya’s skating and I hope to see her compete in the upcoming season regardless of which flag she skates under.
Yeah it’s crazy to think she would have been the star of just about any other country but with the depth of Russian Ladies it’s looking less and less likely that she’ll be able to make it out of domestic competitions.It's just that she medalled at both of her JGP events last season, so I would have expected them to keep her. If the Fed is dropping her, then I imagine that she's pretty much done in Russia, so I was hoping that maybe there was another option for her.
Yeah, she didn't come very close to her fundraising goal, so that doesn't help, either.
Well, most skaters don't make it very far. She had a pretty good run, and I enjoyed the wild, chaotic edge she brought to her programs. Hopefully, she'll find a way to continue.
