The bullshit scores on Davis/Smokin half-assed 2000 late bom bom pow program are beyond shameful. D/S skate junior because they ARE juniors who dance like juniors. And even on that junior field, they are not the best. One single look from Anabelle Morozov has way more performance power/class/strength than whatever D/S do on ice. I hope the Russian audience keeps booing the unfair scores because they are not stupid. Putting D/S on top only because she is Eteri's daughter is like sabotaging their actual ice dance team.

I would enjoy it if you would take an in depth look at the reasons for the Russian success over the last ten years or so. What role does the state play in the early childhood training of skating? How much is financed by parents? What role do the large open tournaments play in the recruitment of young skaters into the Russian Olympic and special school programs? How have the Russians revived and increased the popularity of the sport within Russia? I think, rather than killing the sport outside of Russia, skaters like Valieva are reviving interest in the sport - at least this is my take from reading comments from non-skating fans below NBC's recent video releases. And it is these non-fans that skating needs to recruit to become truly popular again.
@TheSkatingLesson 2 жыл бұрын
You have to think who is watching the videos? I do agree with your idea for a video. Unfortunately, a single country dominating isn't great for any global sport. Covid has certainly played a large role as well. Unfortunately, kids can't join learn to skate, which further kills grass roots participation. It is really tough. There are almost two years of lost kids in skating schools. Our learn to skate programs did restart recently, but with the numbers rising, one has to imagine they could be on precarious ground.

@@TheSkatingLesson I agree that one country's domination is not good for the sport in the long term, but this makes it all the more important to understand the reasons for that dominance.

It all really comes down how you define success of sport....are you talking about the raw numbers, then yes; but of you're talking about pure skating joy, than not quite.

I think you're being too hard on Eteri; painting her as only a narcissist .. So what if she said those things about Zhenya and Alina. You're cherry picking snippets of comments over many years. Russians are known to be upfront (and also cynical). Zhenya and Alina were given post-skating celebrity careers and I saw them today in one big happy family on Channel 1. 40% is not unheard of. You said it yourself in another video: Eteri coordinates and provides everything on a success fee basis (vs. American girls whose parents have to pay in advance and coordinate multiple professionals by themselves). Finally, look at the Japanese and Koreans who are imitating her team's techniques. I believe she's making skating popular worldwide; not killing it.

@@TheSkatingLesson Not a great translation, a lot of things cut out so interaction on certain topics are not full. Poor knowledge of English slang and how to translate Russian “slang” words to English. The key line that made me laugh so hard wasn’t even properly translated. The question was “There is Plushenko...”, the answer “Is there?” with a penetrating look. That line killed me. Tons of moments where she was sassy and it wasn’t translated well

@praetorrus 2 жыл бұрын
That's not what Eteri said. She said that it's important to maintain the weight. If athlete is malnourished, she has no strength and prone to mistakes and injuries due to tiredness. If overweight- more pressure on entire body that also leads to injuries. But the worse if you're not controlling yourself and getting fat, then forcing starvation on yourself, then lose it again, getting fed, and have to lose weight again- that leads to both types of injuries.

@@praetorrus what you're saying is right, but for a decade Eteri's girls kept saying, whenever asked, that you just have to shut your mouth and not eat. They stopped saying that only after Lipnitskaya came out with her anorexia story and how she was forced to live on meal-replacement shakes. The girls stopped saying that, but this doesn't mean the methods have changed. I noted that one of the first things Medvedeva did in canada, was get help from a nutritionist, because healthy methods of weight control are not something she was tought previously
@praetorrus 2 жыл бұрын
@@miriam3848 Eteri said on multiple occasions that she never controlled her skaters diet. She always said that it's family's business. Even in that interview she stated once again, that her responsibility is just to check weight anomalies and react to tendencies quickly, before it's too late and skater have to drop like 2kg+. You're telling me that Medvedeva learned a thing in Canada, but what's your explanation to an anorexic state Medvedeva arrived back to Moscow to ask Eteri for help in Autumn of 2020? We can clearly see, that she got much better and healthier shape during first half of 2021, when Zhenia was still concidering to return to competing.

Женя никогда не была толстой! А к ОИ она вообще была прозрачной! Так что это бред! Она получила перелом от больших нагрузок, да ещё ей программу поменяли за 4 месяца до ОИ. У Жени никогда не было анорексии, даже в сентябре 2020. Её худоба результат больной спины, когда не до еды. А в августе она была в шикарной форме!
@praetorrus 2 жыл бұрын
@@olgasmirnova4588 А кто говорил, что Женя была толстой? Этери такого не говорила. Она говорила о другом, что в ФК, с их прыжками, 2кг лишнего веса- проблема, приводящая к тому, что появляются недокруты, а при недокрутах высок риск травм. И если тебе приходится экстренно сгонять эти 2кг той же голодовкой, это приводит к другой проблеме- у тебя нет сил, ты вялый, несконцентрированный и это тоже приводит к падениям и травмам. И если ты постоянно вот так то толстеешь, то худеешь- это худший вариант, потому что еще и обмен веществ нарушается и возникает риск стрессовых переломов, что и произошло с Женей.

I was hoping you would not read the translation of the interview with mocking intonation and ridiculous Russian accent. This interview deserved to have subtitles rather than this… The final pieces with daughter and narcissistic things are awful. Those who want a real interview, watch the original piece, because they way Dave rendered it has nothing to do with what and how Eteri said it. Honestly, I still can’t figure out where all this Eteri hate comes from? There hasn’t been a single coach who you trashed so much. Is it for rating and comments? That was very low.

Although David is an expert at adding a comedic spin on all these stories and events in Russia, the fact that 90% of all the content is about Russia shows a sorry state of affairs in the United States. I am not sure why Kamila Valieva is treated poorly by this channel. There is no doubt that she is one of the most talented skaters in modern figure skating; and her programs are pretty good. Any way you spin it, Russia has some of the best figure skaters (with the exception of men’s skating) and coaches in the world. David himself has a Russian coach. After Nathan Chen retires, who is left in the US? He is the ONLY real star the US has. Russia has many.

She has a very good toe jump, hence it's easy for her to do a quad toe. And the Salchow jump is very similar takeoff as the toe jump hence it's easier for her to do. But her weakness clearly lies in her Lutz and flip, which is so heavily prerotated she's really doing double jumps. Not only is her technique so bad, she gets no height on them. She needs to be heavily penalized for this. To say she's one of the greatest is far fetching.
