      It's harder for Eteri to replace her skaters now that the minimum age to compete is 17, she has to pay more attention to the health of her students to keep them competitive until 18. Bazyliuk is the new jumping sensation but she won't be senior for a very long time and she will miss the 2026 Olympics even if Russia returns. So Akateva and Petrosian are definitely more important for Team Tutberidze now, I think they might even try to convince Trusova to return

    Tbh, I don't really see Isabeau as a contender for an Olympic medal in the Individual Event. Even if Russia doesn't return, there is still Kaori. Also, talented junior skaters like South Korea's Jia Shin and Japan's Ami Nakai will become seniors in the Olympic season and they have much superior skills and consistency compared to Isabeau. There is also Russian skater Sofia Samodelkina, who can jump 3A and 4T and transferred to Kazakhstan. There are also rumors about Team Tutberidze's Sofia Akateva transferring to Georgia. Isabeau's chances are really slim as her dangerous jumping technique might fail her even before attending the Olympics

    Russia (and Belarus) will likely be allowed at Milano. They competed at Paris even though they did not receive much on screen time (they were not allowed to participate in events such as the opening/closing ceremony and of course they had stricter policies as to which athletes could compete). That being said when it comes to figure skating, because they have not competed at World's recently and it is very unlikely they will compete at this years World's (which is the placement allotment for Milano), Russia will probably be allowed ONE slot per figure skating disicipline. This is where the spice is. Who will get that one spot? The winner of the Russian National Championships next year is promised the spot. (Of course things happen and maybe the alternate will go instead) But Kamila is not allowed to compete (or train really) until the day after these Russian Nationals has concluded so I do not believe she has any shot at Milano. Sasha will be at the test skates this year (she has confirmed) and they will decide if she can compete the rest of the season based on her performance at the test skates. If she does well this year she will likely be on the state team for next year and who knows, maybe on to Milano. Oh the tea 🍜. I am so excited for what these next two years will bring to the figure skating table.

    You make a totally correct analysis and come to a complete false conclusion. If the positiv doping test wouldn’t be delayed, ROC would be able to set Trusova and/or Shcherbakova for the team event and ROC would have won anyways. We have no official explanation why it was delayed. I doubt that it was because of Tutberidze. Why would they have trust in a Russian trainer and is she even capable to label tests herself? Also ROC athletes undergo stronger doping testings. No one knows the results of the other tests taking prior to the olympics..

      The number of points is the still ongoing discussion. In the team event the teams can sollect upt to 10 points in each of the four categories (ladys, mens, ice dance and pairs). So meaning winner of the ladys short gets 10 point for their team, the runner up 9 points and so on. When you disqualify one person, in this case Kamila Valieva winning both womens short and long progamm you deduct those 20 points from her team. But this should also mean, that the runner up would now be the winner, getting the 10 points. And the former third place is now the runner up getting 9 points. If you do this, Canada would end up with more points than russia and thus should be the winner of the bronze medal. In the first decision giving russia the bronze is only deducting her points without giving the others their deserved points. Which is why canada rightfully conquested that desicion. But in the end we will have to wait for the final official decision of the matter.

    In my opinion regarding the USA women, I think that in the time between now and 2026 someone will take Isabeas spot as top skater but there is so many who have the ability and opportunity. Isabeau is great, however I do think if Mia Kalin, Josephine Lee, Ava Ziegler or Elyce Lin Gracey become more consistent, any of them have the chance to get onto the Olympic team. Amber Glenn maybe, but I would say she would probably be the Olympic alternate. I’m rooting for Mia Kalin because she has so much grace and talent, and she can do a quad. I feel like because Isabeau got bronze at the last nationals she might not be able to stay skating the same or better for two more years when there’s lots of other skaters who are already matching and going above her level. No hate to her at all tho I do hope she gets her Olympic chance.
    Edit: and I forgot THE ALYSA LUI will be back too. She is my TOP choice for the Olympic team.

      Making them come all the way to Paris is beautiful symbolically, but let’s be honest, it’s a dumb waste of money and carbon print for something that lasted 10 minutes and which couldn’t even be witnessed by anyone, since you had to pay for the only livestreams available.
      The ULTIMATE hypocrisy of the US federation and ISU is always making me laugh. They’ve been making a fuss for 2 years and a half because their athletes didn’t receive their medals (which is right, don’t get me wrong), but they keep making the sport the most elitist and inaccessible possible, by making team USA’s moment of glory as unwatchable as the rest of the competitions these years.
      If you care that much much about your athletes and their results, at least make sure people can actually watch them.
      I’m French and I was in Paris during the Olympics, and I can assure you that absolutely no one was aware that such an event took place, and it wasn’t broadcasted anywhere.

      @@mountaingirl6479 i don’t know how you could even watch it since in any country, your local broadcaster possesses the tvrights. Unless your broadcaster is totally free you had to pay for the broadcast, I don’t see how the ceremony could have been on UA-cam (if so, it was illegal). I’m not talking about the importance of the moment for the athletes, but for the fans who for most, couldn’t watch it. Good for you if you could see it I don’t know where. But that wasn’t the case for most people, who realized they for example had to subscribe a peacock account and who just closed their laptop in exasperation.
      I personally don’t care that much about the ceremony itself (as to me, the figure skating team event concept in itself is such a joke and shouldn’t even exist) but I can’t stand ISU and US fed hammering people with it for months and not making sure the stream is gonna be accessible for their fans. This exactly what happens with some ISU competitions that don’t even have an OFFICIAL broadcast (hi cranberry cup), or the poorly streamed CS events you have to pay 30$ for. If the only way for your fans to watch anything related to your sport is fan recorded cams, god I don’t even want to know how downhill the discipline is going in the next years. And then they wonder why their audience is decreasing season after seasons, and the absence of the Russians isn’t even the main cause.

    7:10-Vincent never even got to walk with his teammates during closing ceremonies...😢
    I don't know how I feel about who deserves the bronze. ROC still beats Canada by one point for the bronze, even with Kamila's scores removed, and it would be unfair to punish everyone on ROC because of one person, but still, it didn't stop them from letting her compete, and they were willing to withhold medals if she placed in singles. Whatever happens, I still feel a little bad knowing that the bronze medalists won't get the crowd moment that the gold and silver medalists got. 😞
