It definitely reflects a belief that Russian federation controls all the coaches and everything the skaters do because they fund all the coaches and skaters! But I’m not sure about the Russian federation ordering less quads! That doesn’t seem right .On the subject of more quads, I have found people seriously saying "Why didn't the Fed tell Samarin's coach not to put 4F into the SP, Kolyada's not to put 4S into the LP, Kovtun's to do fewer quads etc." Do people think men's coaches in Russia are just all inveterate gamblers by nature and poor Fed is desperately looking for a way to keep their impulses in check? :confused2:
