On choreo.
1. Russian skaters sometimes outsource choreo, but not always. Why would they do it, if there are tons of great choreographers in Russia?
2. Observation: if you don't like a specific choreo style, it does not mean that it is bad. "Eteri team" choreo style seem to be quite well received by judges. Should the girls change it because some fans want to see them with a different choreographer? Debatable.
3. Outsourcing is expensive, as the skater needs to travel to a different location. So getting choreo "at home" has massive financial advantages, less traveling, and more time to work with the choreographer. All those things are a big deal.
4. For real, you people want juniors to outsource choreo? Who will pay for it? Unlike top seniors, they do not get much prize money, and its not like their parents can easily pay for a trip to USA or Europe.
