Her moving is the reason she is still skating. As far as I know she said it in an interview that she didn't want to skate anymore at all before she changed coach and school

She left there because she didn't want to skate anymore at all, so her leaving there was a good thing for her last year. So she wasn't the greatest coach for nastya.

Agreed. And Adelina is always one of the healthier looking skaters. Eating one meal a day in a few sips of water we'll catch up to anybody later in life. I wish someone like Irina or Maria top Russian ladies from 15-20 years ago could have more influence with these girls because I wonder if they only had one meal a day or a few sips of water. Those two look healthy when they performed.
Many pictures from training of younger members of the team Tutberidze (Darya Usacheva, Daniil Samsonov, Sofia Akatrieva and others) with Sergei Rozanov:

Any guesses as to what Trusova and Scherbakova’s jump layouts will be next season? I am hoping for 3 quads from Trusova (lutz & 2 x toes)
It's entirely possible she may switch things up and throw in a flip just for the fun of it. I get the impression she doesn't necessarily skate to win, but to prove that she can do these extraordinary things.
Great photos! The kids are soooo cute....and of course Sergei...Oh My Oh My.

I hope she would learn 3A. Then two 4Ts plus 3A in the short will be enough to win everything. Three quads will be too much risk for her in seniors, IMO. Stakes are higher there - so keeping more safe approach would be wiser decision. One new jump per season is enough risk as it is. Time to be reckless experimentator is gone along with junior status, most likely.
4T - judging by the legs position.

Did she medal at Junior worlds under the guidance of sambo-70 and Eteri? She was b good there and all the way up.
She was 13 when she wanted to get away from skating. Kids are allowed to be up and down and change their minds. Not everyone can have the mentality of Zhenya and Alina Nastya T is more up and down then they are mentally but to me she still has a big upside and is a worthwhile investment especially because she just turned 15.

Adelina may not have the skinny gene in her so to even keep her show performance up to a certain level, she needs to maintain her shape. Someone looks healthy does not mean he/she has not restriction on diet, including Irina.

It is kind of sad that many coaches or nations are trying to manipulate skaters so they can be more competitive. A lot of girls especially non Asianwere born to be curvier. By limiting their diet and or stunting their growth as a result or delaying puberty and such will play a nasty toll on the body. Look at Evgenia when she was allowed to eat more "normal" her body caught up and jumping was more problematic as the technique when she was a beanpole no longer worked. We see that with Zagitova now and in the past with Julia and Adelina Elena R.
Do you mean alina zagitova who just won the world championships with pretty strong jumps??
And honestly zhenya looks pretty much the same these days just with more muscle

Thanks again for the pictures.
They seem a happy lot, good girls doing great things.
You can imagine Tarakanova's longing to get back there, to have a home, a haven, company, friends, a purpose. To feel included, wanted, respected. To be taught new routines, to be teased, to be challenged, to laugh, to cry, to have fun, to live to fulfil your dream in the comfortable presence of your ‘sisters on blades’.
Her absence from this series, perhaps as a probationer she is not yet officially to be included?
Frolova's shirt saying: "Endurance, Fortitude, Speed, Victory" pretty much describes Russian figure skating and each of the skaters' goals.
The blonde girl with the big smile, is she Anastasiya Zinina from Ice Age, Kids previous? Her shirt says "Crossfit", which is all the vogue with sporting girls the world over. If she also does crossfit, she is one tough cookie.
The description of this photo says so, so well spotted by the legs position: http://freeskating.info/gallery/report_tutberidze_team_training_2019_apr/scr/img_8647n.jpg
This is a nice group photo from Khrustalniy, and if my eyes don't deceive me has Alyona Kanysheva in it too: https://cdn.tribuna.com/fetch/?url=https://pp.userapi.com/c850336/v850336557/123d79/durS5GW75bU.jpg

1) Alina had UR almost the entire season, even though some of the jumps weren't called at competitions. She won the WC with clean programs but it doesn't mean that she didn't struggle this season.
2) That's also not entirely true. If you follow her appearances from after the Olympics until today - you would see a difference.
