That said Nastya was so good pre novice and novice that she may have set unrealistic expectations for herself. Then when good things did not happen for her she ended up changing coaches a couple times. That's risky business in figure skating. One might say it's even Russian Roulette.
I remember seeing a YT of her at 8 y/o landing a 3flip and was wowed. I feel she pushed learning her jumps at the expense of ideal technique. Her toe jumps are wonky as well as her Axel. I really hope she looks for another country to skate for. It's terrible to think Safonova, Shabotova, Kuzmenko have YEARS of international competition ahead of them including the Olympics and Gubanova is just stuck at home doing nothing.
