The fact that 17 is considered young in men's skating and old in women's 😭
Because men's bodies need to maturing first before they can handles more difficult jumps (anyone not named Nathan Chen that is). Women's bodies when they undergone puberty Will change, thus their jumps might lose its previous forms and need to be retrained. 15yo champions are mainly Russian thing, as the ladies competition is as deep as it gets. Yuna Kim herself won OGM and OSM at 19 and 23 respectively. Kostner was 26/27 when she won bronze in Sochi. Asada Mao herself retrained her longevity too. It's just that in Russia, you have to be the best to even be able to go to international Comps. It's just a bloodbath whenever RusNats is held
Tbh I think they should raise the age in women’s competition from 15 to at least 17 or 18 so that it’ll be fair for older athletes.
@@alnnvk3186 it would be fairer for the younger skaters too. Having one or to years of glory followed by a retirement at 17, or completely falling behind everyone else is probably not what girls Imagine while spending all their childhood and adolescence working hard to become iceskaters. They want a career, and they deserve one
@@alnnvk3186 not gonna happen. There were mentions of raising ladies age, but ofc it never bore fruit. Simply because big feds like Russia will never allow it. they benefit off of it the most. JPfed is probably does not want it too. They're probably is 2nd in producing skaters of ladies single
i'm among the older athletes having started much later than most professional skaters and i find it quite unfair that even if i did have worlds level skating that i wouldn't be so much as considered because of my age
its so weird that yuma at 17 is barely starting his skating career and anna at the same age is probably finishing it. Ladies is wild
that really puts it into perspective
Unfortunately, that is the reality and fate for the ladies. All the more reasons I'm so happy for Liza.
“young Japanese boy”: 17 y/o
“aging Russian lady”: 17 y/o
:(
Don't lie, Anna's just getting started.
u see anna retiring? cause i don't she stays winning
I don't even watch ice skating... But this is way more interesting than my zoom lecture
TRUE
The pandemic was the worst
Idk y but ppl undermine Anna so much- it annoys me. She’s been Russian national champion thrice- defeating trusova and aliona even when they were eteri students. Also idk about yall but while she skates you just get a different feeling. She is the most consistent out of all of them. Also she broke her leg when she was thirteen skated with a fever at 2021 nationals and still won the whole thing. She is amazing and in my opinion she deserves world champion
EXACTLY, people treat her like she was weak when she literally has proved been almost like an iron woman.
I'd say Liza's silver medal received more attention than Anna's gold one in Russian mass media commentaries. Everyone expected from Anna to be on the 1st place, so there was no surprise, but Liza has really nice story, taking into account that she was not accepted to words'18, there is a mad competition inside of national team, but she is a fighter, true sportsman spirit.
I'd say Anna received enough attention for her 1st place. Liza is in the sun too, and Anna is so much appreciated for her win as they value any 1st place, support Eteri's group and Anna's age and her pre-existing disease, which made it more difficult to perform, made her especially remarkable. Of course Liza's silver medal is prominent and so much valued. She is a role model of patience and stable hard work, so her tears spoke louder than any words. I'd say her self-conquest and silver medal gained the same amount of publicity as any 1st place in some other figure skating disciplines.
Btw, noone was sure it would be up to Anna to win, as there also was Sasha Trusova, who is especially sophisticated, and also powerful Rika Kihira.
Liza getting silver just made the championships for me! Truly. I love her. She's a real individual, and doesn't follow trends. Just does her own thing. Just proves that having quads isn't everything 😉
It is so sad looking back knowing that Yuzu had an asthma attack right before his free skate and still did so good
is that confirmed tho?
Wearing a mask must be very uncomfortable for him
@@noemi5225 yes it it, Japan Fed confirm it with him. He didnt exactly clarified if it was before or after the free skate just that he felt fine in the six min warm up and that he truly felt it after the free, but people who also suffered from asthma attacks said you feel tired before and after the episode, its really taxing for the body
he said that he was just happy he was able to finish his program at all, regardless of the scoring and jumps, and you know how yuzu can get when he doesnt skate clean, so imo that says a lot on how bad it was for him
he didn't, he clarified that he had it after his free, not before.
Asthma is horrible I have severe asthma! And its nor the mask its the asthma.
The fact that all the announcers mentioned Anya's birthday like ten times during the event...the Eteri expiration date is becoming well known
omg but nathen chen gave her the bday cake. that's so cute I didn't even know
Liza getting silver was amazing. Everyone has to agree on Rika getting screwed over in the Short, though. It is unfortunate that she underperformed in the Free even more than Anna or Liza, and effectively knocked herself off the podium.
Don't forget that Shcherbakova thas been Russian champion three times... she is consistent, even in adversity. The Russian Championships in December were possibly the greatest Ladies' final of all time.
unpopular opinion: I actually am happy with these girls who were on the podium. I think they deserve it.
They do
I'm with you on this
No one said they didn't deserve it. They won cause other ladies was a mess. PCS scores are a joke, but TES wise they're ahead of other girls (GOEs are ridiculous tho..)
@@rayneforresy640 the main competitor for russian ladies was Rika - her skating skills are much better and she has the same difficulty in programs, she could fight even for the gold, but she still couldn't deliver again a clean perfomance at the right moment-on the world championship, she is weaker in psychological way, this ability is also important, russians won because they are just stronger, so deal with it
@@user-zj8qn3xu3v precisely cause Rika choked. Anna's medals is hers as long as she went clean. Sasha's too if she didn't bomb too hard, and redeemed herself anyway. Liz was quite clean ofc they'd give her generous GOEs.
Thing is we all knows how biased ISU is towards the Russian ladies. They have the TES to win yes, doesn't mean they deserve the high PCS for empty programs with falls. And dear, we all have been dealing with it since forever.
I just wanted to say that I can't even imagne how Anna and Sasha can manage to compete with all this pressure and mainly because of all the Russian drama, and like, I am their age and I can't even stand School and their are like professional skaters and they still have to handel school and all this drama. I just want that they stay healthy both mentally and physically and that they have fun while skating
Yuzu looked extraordinarily tired and beaten down. Makes me wonder if one of ISU's secret covid patients was Yuzu.
Yuma was so hella good.
I don't think that he would compete if he had Covid but he had an asthma attack.
he's not. No sane sport bodies will ever a confirmed covid patients to skate, ever
He had asthma attack before the fs
This was such a joke, ISU even went against their own rules that THEY set I’m gonna cry
Exactly. I was just thinking that if you can't follow all of your own rules consistently you might have too many rules. But what do they do? They keep adding more rules!!
The joke is that you can't accept the loss of your favorites, immediately complaints about the judges, rules, etc
What exactly is a joke to you? That Kihira is on the 6th place? (everyone is getting offended by that)
@@user-zj8qn3xu3v you have no idea what im referring to - this has nth to do with favourites. ISU set some rules about the maximum score they can give for a certain component, but they broke it for some favourites of theirs.
The more Anna cries and breaks down in practice, the better she is gonna do in the actual competition 🤣
Well, the scores of Rika and Yuzuru at short programs were simply ridiculous, you can't deny that.
^^^ for real it was just ridiculous....
IF you can't see 1/4 underrotated at 3A and 3T of R.K. it is YOUR PROBLEM. slow mo showed it all
I haven't seen anybody denying the under rotations. It's the fact that only some skaters got called on them.
@@CuddlyPuddles well did you see under rotations at Patrick Chen performance?
@@asimonp79 tf? if you have to make mental gymnastics to validate a score the issue is with you
I really hope that Anna won't be affected by Eteri expiration date that hard. But looking back at the other Eteri skaters.. well..
She’s already grown so much from last season and she can still consistently land quads usually so I don’t really think it’ll be awful. I would say at this worlds she was probably exhausted and she knew this as you can see in her interview and her reaction so, although it’ll be interesting, I think she’ll probably be fine.
There is really no such thing as the "Eteri expiration date." Its just that there are NUMEROUS upcoming Russian ladies which are very competitive. Can Anna, Alina, and Evgenia still be competitive if they competed at Japanese nationals with just 3-3s? Yes! If the Eteri expiration date means falling one or two times in a program for you, you're wrong.
Perfectly explained. There is no expiration date it's just that better younger stronger skaters are coming up like the KaMissile Kamila Valieva. 3A did the same to Zhenya and Alina.
Expiration date of your brain has passed
"you will be a queen...for a time. until there comes another, younger and more beautiful."
other coaches already has athletes of Eteri's caliber.
such as Davydov with Samodelkina.
Plushie? maybe 2-3 years from now. he has many homework to attend to if he wants to be recognized coach.
It wasn’t an ad for the suitcases she was thanking her fans for sending her gifts
That is so true! Even though Anna won worlds I only see articles and news about trusova :( I feel sorry for this girl cuz she works really hard and she deserves to have her "5 minutes". Btw Eteri's hug reminds me of the olympics 2018 when Alina won 😂
Ehm you may not mimic your hate against Anna, it doesnt work. Especially when you say that obvious bullshit about her. Literally every sport portal I watch made more than 3 posts about only Anna roflmao. She is on the national tv
@@DrScarface74 wtf
This is not true. The Russian media published a lot of materials about Anna's victory. Anna has already been on a TV program dedicated to the victory of Russian figure skaters at the World Championships. Attention is paid to Anya enough. Another thing is that, firstly, there are other winners - in pairs and in dancing, and secondly, everyone is concerned about the failure of Trusova and the inability of Plushenko to adequately train such an elite figure skater. With a normal coach, Sasha had a huge chance of winning this World Championship. The Olympics are ahead, and, of course, everyone is worried that Sasha with such a coach may simply not qualify for the Olympics, given the enormous competition in Russia.
@@MatveevSergey i think people are more worried about her nerves than her coach. we've all seen how she can nail all quads in practice, clearly coaching isn't an issue. I think it was all the stress, not having her mom and dog, not having Dmitri mikhailov. that all got to her.
@@syd1764 , actually, this is all related to the work of the coach! "Mom and dog" - this is a kindergarten on the road. Anya was also without her mother for the first time at international competitions, but she did not complain and managed, although she was clearly not at ease. Plushenko made a lot of mistakes at this World Championship - he refused to take her coach Mikhailov with Sasha, during training before the short program, for some reason, quads jumped and one content with a trixel rolled, but in reality they refused the trixel, which led to a fall from the 3Lz, which she performs with her eyes closed, and the loss of the cascade. As a result, Sasha was forced to take the maximum risk in the free program with 5(!!!) quads that she had never perfomed cleanly in her life. It's just lucky that Rika fell apart, otherwise Sasha will not see the podium as his ears! These are all purely coaching mistakes. Compare with the work of Tutberidze - Anya takes gold with a reserve even if the content is not the most difficult for her!
You have quickly become my favorite skating channel I'm so excited to watch this video
agreed!
Fanyus hated the SP score because he was underscored but we were fine with the free program and were worried about Yuzu for he looked a bit sad and not his usual self.
also CAN WE TALK ABOUT LOENA??? WOW, I haven't seen someone skate with so much passion in a while. She skated beautifully.
Yaaaaaass!!! Love loena hendrickx!
Who taught her her awesome jump technique??? (Except, she is unable to do 3loop)
@@strawberrylime33 Carine Herrygers, she was also the coach of Loena's brother
Not her hitting the expiration date at the gala
sad but true. maybe she can willpower her way out of the curse as well
@@paolala she looked VERY TIRED and sad. Which she should not since she fcking world champ and its her birthday. I hope she's alright and also see more of her in the future.
@@anuniemoose2209 she's just recovered from pneumonia ofcourse she looks tired
But she is already losing her quads, we must do something. Maybe send a heart to Instagram? Is it will be helpfull?
@@KateKabrinsky we should just send prayers, I hope she's okay
Watching this after the 2022 olypics is just WELL ITS ALOT
If she did a little better in sp, Trusova would've got the gold.
She just needed one jump done better and she would have been first. She was the Nathan Chen of the ladies (minus skating skills). It's a shame that she left all the quads in the practice. At the same time, she was overscored in the free, she fell so many times that it's bonkers she got that scores.
It is such a counterproductive thing to say. If Sasha, Liza, Rika did better, THEY WOULD'VE BEEN FIRST. Yeah...it's like sport...and...the simpliest mathematics...
Had she landed her 2nd quad lutz and landed her quad toe combo cleanly, she would have gotten gold.
There's no "if", only the result
@@antonjagger9782 but what she did is pretty amazing that is what I'm talking about. If she was 5th or 6th in sp and then got the bronz we wouldn't be shocked as we are now. but she was 12th and she rised up to being 3rd. and that is pretty amazing. it is pretty rare fpr someone to do that bad on sp only to got bronz the other day. even though I don't like her programme mostly only focuses on jumps jumps jumps what she did is pretty impressive. no one got close to her in fs.
Finding your channel was a blessing. No one talks about this shit like that. I really love how you pronounce “Tutberidze”. And also I'm sad for Sasha, in the short program, however, “jumping drill” seems like a good description for what she does best
With your comment saying that when Anya wins, you don’t really hear about it, after the free skate the majority of news I was seeing was either about Trusova’s comeback from 12th or Tuktamysheva getting another world medal.
Because she's a good girl, worthy of a gold medal blahblahblah We are looking for a drama or at least sensation, Anna is not that type of hero 🤣🤣
You dont want to hear about it, this is only your pathetic hater's problem. Anna is by far the most popular skater now, both male and female, check the facts, girl
@@DrScarface74 are you saying that to me because I love Anna’s skating, her technique is a little questionable but that’s one of the only things she needs to work on
Since this was my very first main event of FS that I kept up with, I wasn't really sure what to expect. I was rooting for Liza and Sasha, I believe they both are amazing in their own ways (even though I'm not Sasha's biggest fan) and was happy for their placements.
As for Anna, she's so cute and I worry about her future, since her age is now the Eteri expiration date, but she may have a longer career, so let's see.
Yuzu's SP: wow, just wow. Pure entertainment 😆 loved it so much!
Thanks for the video Paola! Great as always!
Kisses from 🇧🇷
see im okay with yuzu being third because i felt like thats what he deserved because his free skate wasnt the best. both nathan and yuma skated SO GOD DAMN WELL in the FS and Yuma skated amazingly in the SP too. but Yuzu didnt do the best he couldve done in the FS so it makes sense. but the ladies was a fucking mess. imo Liza shouldve won.
yeah im okay with it too, yuzu doesnt always have to win no matter what. yuzu had a bad day and the other two had great ones, so the podium seems pretty fair to me.
I really agree, and hey, atleast Yuzu got in the podium, and he was able to perform to HIS limit (as of that time) I was honestly really shocked at Nathan's performance, and also Yuma. People should also remember that people who were at the top won't always have the best, or won't always stay at the top, but they will do their best to achieve what they can:D (I really look up to all of these skaters especially nathan, yuzu, shoma and yuma, they're amazing)
These videos are always the highlight of my day, since I have no one else to talk to about skating. Love it as always :)
I hope 2022 olympics they would give a fair judgement to everyone
seeing how they are scoring these skaters now, I feel like Sochi 2014 Kim Yuna will happen again
@@Fornonme so there will be a fair judgement, nice 👍
Максим Назаров 🤣🤣😂🤣😂
There won't be, probs...It can be accomplished only with the robots instead of people. Home skaters will have the bonuses, dances are being voted like some eurovision by some unions etc.
The worst part is that Rika may have done better in the free had she not been judged so harshly in the short. Anna is amazing at getting it together at competitions, but on the other hand, of course she's more confident than the rest of the field knowing the judges have her back.
Also, Kaori and Karen were robbed here. Liza winning a medal was literally the best thing in this world championship.
Rika had two underrotated jumps, that's why her scores were lower - I believe one was in the combination (it is visible on the record) and the second was the 3A (not really that well visible). Her components score might be a bit higher, but it was almost the same value as Anna's.
So you basically saying that Anna is better at figure skating because judges are having her back? Maybe she does 4 jumps because of the "good" judges? Wtf?
Just accept the fact that Rika does not have nerves to do well at worlds. The standing ovation to Liza might have startled her. Since her junior days she has been always like that. What more at olympics?
@@antonjagger9782 yes, her “jumps” are all flips and flutzes, so yes
@@udkeljdkla1414 Take her GOE from flutzes and she would still be a winner
Thank you for informing so many people about it .... I feel like people like you ,who inform locals , are taking a big part in making our sport more popular :)) sorry for my bad English hahahh
What I got from the Worlds...Trusova is a freaking FIGHTER! I hope she gets the gold in Olympics
right!!
@@doraziyanchen Sasha is a true inspiration! She is the Phoenix, reborn out of the ashes. To me, this is so inspiring! Keep on fighting! This is a good lesson for all of us to learn.
No, it would be Kamila Valieva
@@romirose4886 we’ll see they are both fighters
...@@romirose4886
Oh my gosh! I didn’t realize that Anna’s birthday would be 1 day after the competition. She was so lucky that the final was before the Eteri expiration date 😱😱
this comment is underrated
"She was so lucky that the final was before the Eteri expiration date"
😂
what a stuck-up joke
@@helgayali don't forget to like it, cheers 😄
@@KateKabrinsky да нет, пожалуй воздержусь
I don't skate and don't watch skating competitions on a regular basis, but skating tea is just on another level and I am kind of addicted to this channel.
This is like a telenovela on acid!! Honestly the people at Netflix, you can tell that the people writing their FS shows over there have never watched FS at all. IRL the story is writing itself. I hope that when they do bring these stories to Netflix, they cast Lena Headey as Eteri, she can bring that Cersei energy on ice 🤣🤣
I wonder how westerners always say about this shitty netflix as it is a good thing roflmao. Your standarts of entartainment must be really shitty low if you know nothing but netflix or you think that they are able to produce something with good quality. Obviously Russia will not allow this garbage western service to do anything under Russian licence, they are way too low for our perspective and dont deserve to touch our culture ☺
Only Russian creators are able to do it on the high level
@@DrScarface74 but then nobody would watch it, i mean only in Russia perhaps. I don't know about netflix, but other western media, the one you dismiss so much, have made productions of your culture quite accurately, it's not that difficult. I imagine you know nothing of the sort because under the regime you live under you can only consume what the party deems appropriate for you.
@@avg18 well, no they didn't. Especially when it comes to behaviour or relatioships, it's not even close. They seem to have no idea of how people talk to each other in Russia. And it ends up you watch americans in russian entourage and it's just CRINGE
I don’t understand how some people are mad about Karen Chen. Yes, her skating skills are amazing, but she didn’t do a triple-triple combination...
Say it loud! YES! I'm so tired to explain it to people
Anna didn't have a 3A either in sp and still won... Anything is possible in ladies figure skating :)))
@@andreeat608 Anna had 3lz+3Lo in the end of the program
@@katerinabrave2980 omg thank you!!!
@@andreeat608 Alina Zagitova also didnt have a 3A but also scored 80+ and her 3Lz3Lo was in the first half
When I tell you I DIED when you said "Slow and steady gets the cake." 😆 🤣 😂 You're so fun!
Karen Chen is the savior of US figure skating
i can't explain this but i'm obsessed with how you pronounce the russian names like they sound so fun lol
Ladies' event felt like a complete nightmare for the troika & Japanese ladies. BUT!! I actually enjoyed the skaters who ranked 15th-20th because they skated clean even though they had no quads and crazy programs. I loved Lindsay, Josefin, Alexandra Feigin.. such gems and actually very enjoyable to watch. What's also great is that they won spots for Beijing for their countries that have not been represented in many years at the OG. This kinda makes me look at the event from a positive perspective and not think about the ISU and the injustice we witnessed. Also, I cried for Liza. She's amazing.
What bugged me aside from skating was... did anyone notice Eteri's doctor in the background during Anna's free skate? What is he doing there if they are not hiding something or expecting Anna to pass out on the ice?? I hope she's okay and she pulls through to 2022.
i mean shes seventeen now...
I like how Anna won. She really deserved it. I don’t care if anyone sends me hate but she is my favorite skater. Just look at her expression when she won. She really didn’t expect to win.
Because she did not deserve to win thats why she was surprised....lol
@@Ardit-kq4bt she did deserve to win
@@SamKreinberg thank you!
This was beyond worth the wait! It's scary how fast you're turning me into a FS stan, idk if I can handle the emotional roller coaster that will happen if I get more invested!
I really like your videos. It's interesting to see a figure skating fan doing this type of commentary format. Great work, and I love your pretty sky background, Paola! xo
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!
TURN IT UP
I am Belgian and i have no Russian rootes. First i would like to remember You that ALL of the favorites fell and this makes the role of the judjes very difficult. I admit that Rika was slightly underscored in her short program, but she was the first to admit that her free was a disastre. Why in this condition can't You admit that Anna was clearly less bad and that she clearly was figting to the end , something Rika was not able to do . if You have questions about the artistic quality of Anna , please take the time to look carefully at the final spin of her short program . Supreme Elegance that no other scater could show this week. By the way; Loena Hendrickx finished fifth, ; the best position of a Belgion scater since ... 1926.
A nna's performance was not great but clearly the best of this difficult championship.
Anna deserved to win this time based on her performance vs everyone else, but it needs to be acknowledged that her score and the gap bertween her and the other girls are also overscored.. esp on the pcs and GOEs she got. Not only that, skaters from other country (esp the japanese girls) pcs were underscored as hell
this is perfect i litwrally just finished binging all ur videos and now theres this gem C:
You should have mentioned that Yuzu had an asthma attack just before his fee skate ! And my boy still skated and stood in the podium
Sasha, I love watching her.. knowing that she also loves herself and enjoying what she does 😌🙌
Rika underrotated multiple jumps. Anna has a LutzLoop combo in the second half of the program, which costs way more than the triple axel. I hope that answers everybody's questions. Figure skating isn't all about triple axels.
Besides, the free skate showed us that Rika isn't mentally ready to win international competitions. Eteri wins not only because her skaters jump well, but also because she's a great psychologist and she knows what to tell her skaters to help them go and nail those programs despite the pressure.
but it wasn’t even a lutz looo combo it was a flutz
@@clairesinclaire6826 no, it was a proper lutz. Anna does have a problem with her lutz edge, but I rewatched this moment like twenty times in slow motion and it indeed was an outside edge.
are you sure you know what a lutz is? lol.
@@gggyuli oh god, of course I meant OUTSIDE edge on her lutz 🤦♀️ those damn brain farts (also English is my second language). Yes, I rewatched her performance and she did have an OUTSIDE edge. Not as deep and gorgeous as Tuktamysheva's, but still outside.
Honey... The judges was about to give Rika a big score in the short but she had "q"s (which should have been underrotations). She lost about 5 points because of that.
the problem is why did they call rika's q's but not anna's flutz? or karen chen's unders? there's no issue with making tech calls, the issue lies in the fact that there's no relativity. the';re not consistent. they call some skaters but turn a blind eye to other's, especially those from team tutberidze. either make tech calls for everyone or don't make them at all.
OMG I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO POST THIS AHHH !!!! i just knew it was gonna be a hot mess...
I don’t think Eteri is jaded with wins I just don’t think she wanted to boost Anna’s ego because she kind of won with a less than stellar performance. Although she did win deservedly. I wish we had the same podium but with better performances and Sasha on top haha
This whole Worlds was a mess. I mean there were some good moments, but most of it was 🥴 hoping the 2022 season is better!
For ladies yeah. For men it was great tho. Many memorable and touching moments. Make me appreciate the men whether from lower groups or upper groups
@@rayneforresy640 yes!
don’t be disrespectful!
@@amina1295 that’s not disrespectful, just the truth.
Why a mess tho? Do you mean everyone was falling or something?
im still pretty mad about yuzu's 92 :(
Um... why? What would you have given him? I don't see how you could justify a higher PCS when the performance was a mess. I love Yuzu as much as the next person but honestly fans are just as bad as the judges sometimes, crying about how PCS is all about reputation but then applying that same logic to their faves.
btw this is not me attacking you, just a bit annoyed how I've seen multiple people say this but not really justify it. Yuzu was gifted the 2nd highest PCS over the likes of Shoma, Mikhail and Jason, I think the judges did all they could for him.
@@MrSpaceRaptor ye that PCS is very generous considering it was Yuzuru Hanyu. Both Shoma and Misha was punished by having their PCS only at 89-90. Cause they made mistakes. Yuzu's was preserved cause of his rep imo.
And no one moans when usa girls take podium in gymnastics... It is like not a death of sport.
People are mad to the Russians because they are Russians. The Russophobia at this point is far to much. The abuses in USA gymnastics and Figure Skating is more severe when compared to Russia
Actually the USA girl gymnastics team are literally 5 points a head of the rest of the world. Most of their elements are similar to men's elements. I agree that most of the USA ladies like the grace and elegance of the Russian, Romanian, and Chinese, however, their difficult level put them in a category of their own.
Anna winning isn't the death of the sport. Anna being grossly favored despite the obvious deductions or level reductions that should have happened but didn't is the death of the sport.
the word russiaphobia is killing meeee ur all so stupid
@@jimaglonzoa.m6368 It’s not Russophobia. It’s people calling out issues in the judging of the sport especially with corruption. Many watchers across the world agree that Liza Tuktik was underscored, and many watchers were rooting for Liza. Many people agree that Anna S was overscored, especially for her PCS and her jumps. If Anna won with more correct judging, people wouldn’t be as mad. It’s more of people getting mad at the blatant ISU judging corruption and favoritism towards Eteri skaters rather than Russophobia.
This was the first time I saw a World Championship, and all I wanna say is: can't wait for the next chapter of this drama
wait for next season rusnats. A lot of peoplea will become indignant and mad, especially the russian coaches themselves
The Russian figure skating championship this year was more interesting than this because there were fourteen year old girls who surpassed everyone except Anna
@@romirose4886 imo Valieva was the real sensation, everyone could see it coming from girls under Eteri.
Unpopular opinion: Yuzuru's LP scores were very generous. People saying that he should have won when he only did 1 clean jump is crazy.
It's not an unpopular opinion, honey. Everyone knows Nathan should have won
@@fsmilka8021 Some Yuzu fans thinks that he should have won 😐
in fact Yuzuru should have ended in 5th place after Kolyada and Shoma Uno
@@Ardit-kq4bt not after Kolyada with mistakes and only two the cheapest quads
haven’t seen a single comment stating that nathan shouldn’t have won. that’s not even a discussion, that’s clear for everyone. but yuzu did two combos, 3lo and he didn’t fall. he still had beautiful spins, stsq, chsq and as always his program was packed with transitions. his pcs should’ve been higher. he was also underscored in the sp. he should’ve been second. yuma did amazing but he also did mistakes in the free and due to his age he’s not on that level yet, but i’m sure we’ll see him develop into a wonderful skater. that was clearly not yuzu’s day, he had an asthma attack and his free skate just has fallen apart but it was not that bad. even if we leave fs out, his sp was definitely underscored, it should’ve been at least 109 which would make him second. but it doesn’t anyhow effect nathan’s win which is undeniable, he did amazing!
Ngl I was waiting for this video as soon as rika placed 2nd in the short program
I mean, why are you surprised? She clearly underrotated all of your jumps? I'm not saying this to hate on Rika, but why denying the obvious?
ive been waiting for your video omfg
I am sooo proud of Jason lmaoo he is amazing
They didn’t say “fuck the rules”, they carefully studied the rules and found a loophole.
My god, so many sad salty people complaining. Our athletes were denied their flag, their anthem, even denied to name the country they were representing. And they still made everyone eat dust. Cry some more, we hardly care.
Well if they weren’t such dopers.... that wouldn’t be the case..
Yuma is so cute
it’s the ✨EMPERATRIZ✨ for me
te amo lokaaa
te amo igual!
Rika is not at the level of Aliona ast season.
Rika is a lovely skater with under rotations that people forget about. If she was in Russia she would have been passed by by a few girls already the way Alliona has been passed by. But she's in Japan and she's going to have a 10 year career at least because there's no one coming up behind her to passer by. Zhenya Alina Aliona weren't so lucky. ;)
Sasha would have won worlds gold without question if she did not leave TT. All she needed here was a 3 quad free skate and a decent short program that scored 75 points and it would have been hers. But I'm very happy on you one even though she was far from her best.
We should cut everybody slack because at the world championships in Stockholm nobody could do anything or go anywhere it was stay in your Room or go to the rink.
Rika has been to worlds twice and bombed both times.
Anna has mental toughness Sasha and Aliona and Rika can only dream of.
Bradie 9th? Not a good job. ;) Lucky the US has 3 spots now.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO
Thank you for posting fun commentary.
Isn’t Sasha the one pushing to do 5 quads in her program? I thought she wanted to do that even when she was with Eteri (I could be wrong). So if anything, Plushenko is supporting her by crafting a routine around her strength: her jumps.
and it's not going well for her she should've tried only doing 2 quads but all for the fans i guess
Trusova was not judged harshly is the short her PCS was astronomical especially if you compare it to skaters like Sakato with gorgeous skating skills (2 falls just like Sasha) who ended u[ three points behind her. I love Sasha but had she been Japanese or Korean she most prob wouldn't have made it to the free
But the Korean ladies didn't skate well sorry not sorry. I think they are stuck in the past, even Rika adapted to the new generation and combined technical skills + artistry. But the Korean ladies are young AF but they still skate with the style of Kim Yuna and make mistakes in jumps that aren't that difficult compared to their peers. This is my opinion
@@chipmunkpark8826 The point i'm trying to make is that skaters from some federations are made to pay a way higher price for the same mistakes. Also component scores really have nothing to do with jump difficulty. Jason Brown used to regular get higher PCS than N Chen even when he had no quads. My comment was not on the performance of the Korean ladies at all its just to point out that if she had been Korean or japanese she most prob have ended up like Vincent Zhou and not even made it to the free. So I think you kind of misunderstood me there
@@chipmunkpark8826 and even then Rika still has chronic underrotations issues, and she was punished, rightly. While despite the mistakes, losing spins and StSq levels, the Russian ladies are still being given generous GOEs and PCS. And let's not talked about Anna's obvious questionable Lutz edge. They won't ever call that. The good thing is Trusova's isn't immune to edge calling, so there is /some/ hope that TP's biases can be curbed
I feel bad saying this but I think part of the reason Rika doesn’t outpace the Russians despite her beautiful skating skills and elements is because her packaging isn’t that great. Her programs have always felt kind of Maria Sotskova to me. Sort of lackluster and missing something. I don’t know- I really think she’s got potential to be the best though.
she was prone to underrotations and mistakes. the judges already know that and TP is ruthless to anyone not russian. Packaging and elements mean nothing if she can't fix her underrotations problems. besides, programs wise she was still young and still maturing.
Once upon a time, when Carolina Kostner was young and shining, in one broadcast а commentator said (it was Tarasova if my memory serves me right) that the judges know what way the skaters went and notice when their skating improves
And not a single person think that Rika just should avoid her countless underrotations and judges wouldn't have any questions to her. I hope she knows that she should work harder and do better, become a stable skater, not just someone who can be first when there is no Russian skaters. I have to remind that the only main event with Russians that she won was gpf 2019. That's all. But after that win she immediately became everyone's fave and the main opponent to Russians. And at the same time after that win she didn't do anything special.
Honestly, she is going to be under more pressure than most because the Japanese skaters are never scored generously than the Russians (PCs and GOEs) even if they have better technique and skating skills, which rika does. Moreover I don’t think people would be as mad if the rus ladies’ mistakes were called like Rika’s should be, whether marked Q or UR which judges should have done as well. However even so, rika definitely did not deserve to win and I think most people with a brain know that lol. Actually ppl have been also been talking about her nerves and mentality which caused her URs because I’m not gonna lie, she needs a sports psychologist ASAP. If she has one already, she needs a change in training because they are obviously not working for her. It’s the second worlds she has bombed. If she keeps on going like this, even if she’s the top JPN lady they are going to lose faith in her fast. She has huge issues with nerves and it is a very hard for a skater to have a reputation of being consistent but so easy for them to lose that reputation and if they do, the PCs will definitely take a hit. I can already foresee that happening with her. She needs someone to start helping her nerves for her to peak at the proper competitions. Trusova needs this too, however thankfully judges still love her (not as much as the eteri girls but more then the JPN ladies) and when she falls she gets back up with a fighting spirit and continues her program. However rika..when she falls, her whole program breaks apart. She needs some real nerves training for the Olympics coming up 😔
even if rika skated super clean, the judges would've still rewarded the pcs to the russians, i'd bet the gap between her and anna wouldn't be as big as it should be eventho rika has the artistry, better technicality and the 3a as well.
@@keziarukmana1950 better technically? haven’t you noticed all the constant underrotations? and how she simplified her free program, because she’s clearly not in the shape currently.... the pedestal is fair, no other skaters did what it takes to earn the place there
@@mariiazaikina4904 definitely better than anna's excessive prerotations and unclear/cheated edge, anna uses her upper body so much, and those techniques only work for preadolescent body. But ofc everybody's just gonna say "ISU doesn't specify anything about prerotations in the rule book". Also, i never said I didn't agree with the pedestal, we all acknowledge that rika couldn't be at the podium, but she (and the other japanese ladies) do deserve higher score and lesser gap between the scores. There's a possibility that had rika been judged not as strictly as she had in the short, she would've gained more confidence and skated better in the fs
Rika tanked the free. Where did she finish 9th? She gave up she quit something a Russian girl would never do.
I will say Rika is the biggest threat to the Russian ladies but she's also a big threat to herself if you know what I mean.
I thought I was ready for this championship, but oh boy...
Nice video though, made my mood better.
Hello🥺 I’m so happy you are back 🥰
Rika underrotated her 3A and the 3T in her combo but I think she could have had a slightly higher components score. Anna had that 3Lz + 3Lo in the second half, which was her most difficult jump and worth the most points. I'd say their components score should have been around the same, but cleanliness of elements also factors into the components score as well. So I agree with the final standing after the short but perhaps the gap should have been a little shorter.
Yes but scherbakova underrotates and overrotates all her jumps and we still call her clean because she « don’t fall »
@@Figureskating_music Wrong, she does not under or over rotates all her jumps, you simply want her to so you can have a reason to hate on her.
There was a lot of weird stuff at this Worlds but also some greatness. I think it's indicative of the pandemic and the season. I love seeing Anna fangirling and Yuma celebrating his scores, they are still teens. I'm not surprised that Russia got half of the medals since they competed so much while the rest of the world went into lockdown.
Yh but also Anna had pneumonia and still did 2 quads in December after Covid. Liza also had Covid in December, it took her months to recover. That also influences ones skating form.
Anna fangirling? Are you mad lol? These were asians who fanboying
@@DrScarface74 agree!
Trusova really just did a jumping drill ...
yes lmao 🤣 Actually after that routine she was not even tired. She could push up 20-30 times immediately, I believe
@@KateKabrinsky so, maybe she should have tried to interpret her program, at least a little bit
Me looking for artistry in her programs: 👀
well she was looking for those big quad base values, sooo
@@fsmilka8021 honestly, I see her artistry after 1/3 of FS program. She is different, not as musical as Anna, not as flexible as Valieva, not as soft as Alena. She is sometimes too rushed, too harsh, but has her own charisma. Also composition is really great, all the elements in their places at the right time. I rewatching her performances, despite the falls.
But last SP is really shity for me. it seems they wanted to show how Sasha grew up in musicality and fluency, but it really didn't work out
I think the "Tutberitze vs Plushenko" argument in the media is not fair to Anna's skating skills and her hard work to get there but I feel in some weird way it probably is the reason why she and Sasha don't hate each other (yet *knock on wood* I love their friendship) Taking that focus away from them being rivals in the media seems to let them detach themselves from it and stay friends, kind of like siblings each choosing a parent in a divorce instead of 2 feuding siblings?
Your video just came up on my feed, and I’m so glad I watched. Thank you for bringing a bit of levity to these championships. I too thought women’s was a mess, but the men redeemed the competition. BTW did you see the audience member who held up a sign that said ISU needs to be reformed?😆
I don’t really worry about Anna’s expiration date tbh, Evgenia competed at the olympics at 18 yo and she also hadn’t been in great shape her whole season - so I’m guessing Anna will be fine?? And if not we all know there’ll be tons of girls fit to take her spot lol
Well, Trusova still managed to become the first lady to land multiple quads at a WC. So happy for Liza. As you said, nobody talked about Anna winning but Eteris. I believe the winner here was Liza
The fact that I’ve seen so many comments talking about Anna’s expiration date literally makes me so sad because I see it happening
No, you want it happening. And you are failed as well as other trash haters 😂
Especially w the olympics coming... I feel like valieva is going to do really well as a senior which will be hard to beat for everyone
i was waiting for this yeeeyyyy
Anna's birthday literally just passed on March 28th - happy 17th birthday to her!
Anna got Gold without a triple Axel or completed quad... 🙄🤔
Here to wait my girl's 3A comeback cmon girl
I'm a "casual" Figure Skating fan ⛸ Basically watching major events like the Olympics, so I've learned SO MUCH since discovering your channel a few days ago! I fell in LOVE with Evgenia Medvedeva during Pyongyang and was absolutely devastated when she was not awarded GOLD(I cried right along with her). So after that I became obsessed with all these young Russian female skaters that were coming up, especially Sasha who was doing quads(not that I can really tell the difference between any of the jumps until Johnny Weir tells me). Anyways, I had no idea all the DRAMA going on behind the scenes! But as much as this drama is as intriguing as an episode of The Real Housewives, it is so sad for these young Russian athletes who sadly will probably have shortened careers due to the constant influx of new, younger skaters and the physical damage to their bodies. However, I'm still rooting that Sasha might hold on and have a chance at an Olympic Medal🥇and an extended career... She's fun to watch!
I dont think trusova was judged harshly in sp, i even think she was slightly overscored. But in her fs judges crimally overscored her in pcs.
overscored because she attempted 5 QUADS??? u are just ridiculous. The only overscored in this competition was Scherbakova who still won with a disastrous free program,bye,....
@@Ardit-kq4bt No, not because of quads I even think she deserved a bit more goe on a few jumps yet the components were to high:
1- Her transitions were weak, she naturally did a lot of crossovers to do those crazy jumping passes.
2- Her moves didnt matched with the music, for example in her first spin she finished early and had to wait awkwardly until the music cut.
3- She felt stiff, she didnt felt and/or couldnt pass to the viewers the aura of the program. This wasn't her best skate performance wise this season.
4- She had major errors that disturb the flow of the errors: 2 falls, awkward situation on 1st spin.
So the fact that she got just a point less then Karen Chen who had better transitional content, no major errors, better musicalty and skating skills puzzles me.
But you won't even consider the points that I make since you seem to be a fanatic, so I dont even know why I wrote that.
But just u know, nobody is perfect, no skater is perfect and pointing out somebody's error is not a personal attack. You may love her, beacuse she is lovely but cannot attack people who don't enjoy her skating as much as you do.
@@meltemdemrin3467 I am not a fanatic but the fact that you mentioned that Karen Chen had a better free program than Trusova is JUST RIDICULOUD: Karen Chen program maybe was good 30 years ago but now that program is just ridiculous and for beginners, still cant believe she was 4th ahead of Rika and other japanese girls lollll
I meant Karen’s pcs, compared to Trusova.
Also did we watched the same competition? Rika unfortunately had a bad fs, so it’s natural she had a bad standing. Kaori had a small mishap but was rock solid as always overall. And I think she also was underscored in pcs, not quite underscored actually underscored compared to some other skaters.
It’s amazing how many people hate on the Russian squad just because they’re better than the rest of the field yes they’re better so deal, and they gonna sweep olympics as well nobody right now comes close to them, it’s just a fact.
unless the russian ladies bombed themselves ofc. don't be too confident. upsets happen oft in figure skating. the ice is slippery afterall. let's see if they can be as consistent Zagitova and Medvedeva was first
Drama sells. The media doesn't give a shit about the girls, only drama that will get viewers, even when they have to make it up. The girls are pawns, and this is heartbreaking. They sacrifice so much, and by the time they retire, you can see that the love and passion for skating that motivated them is gone.
That said, I adore Anna, and loved seeing her win. Win or lose, she's my girl.
I don’t understand much about the scoring in figure skating, so I just wanna ask: is it normal that Anna had almost the same score that Trusova in the free program? Because I mean, she fall on the quad jump and her spins didn’t go so well, and even though trusova fell two times, she had 3 quads, but seriously can someone explain? Thanksss
Simply put: Anna is kinda overscored, especially considering her sit spin which was very wobbly but still got a positive GOE. Also, Anna typically receives more points for artistry than Trusova which completely makes sense since she is more artistic, ballerina-like. That way they almost even out the score. Hope this makes sense..
@@MsVanhellig thank you 🙏🏻
Because what was landed bring a lot of pts. Look:
4F - 12.57
4Lz+3T - 19.48 !!!!!!!! amazing cascade
3Lz+3T - 12.63
Anna's best:
3F+3T - 11.24
3F+1Eu+3S - 12.55
3Lz+3Lo - 13.65
Also Anna went to 2A 2 times, that jump is not highly rated. For Anna scores for that jumps was 4.34
and 4.29. Sasha fell on 4S 3.99 and 4Lz 4.52. As u can see, even if u fall on quad it still costs like a solid clear 2A
Also Sashas 4T+1Eu+3S has a lot of penalties. 4T in that cascade was downgraded to 3T cuz of hudge under-rotation. And yes PCS for Anna - 72.85, Sasha - 66.34. So overall they was close
Scherbakova is overscored in every single element, spins, choreo, jumps,. Flutzes, sequences....If she wasnt overscored she would end in 5th place...
This is an alternate world where Ladies event was a mess even worse than men 😂. Ngl, men's FS was cleanish and enjoyable. Ladies' is... Let's just say this FS never happened 😶😶
Okay, let's get to my view about ladies FS:
- Sasha literally went 'go big or go home' and it rewarded her nicely. 3 landed quads out of 5. Her placement went up a lot. Empty program, but understandable as she was focused to nail those quads. Good redemption (not at the level of Nat's redemption, but very good)
- Liza, empty program too. She's just not that developed in artistry and musicality. Beautiful jumps and technique tho. Also that KnC was touching. Her 6 years waiting was finally paid off.
- Anna fell once on that 4F, them ditch her original layout and did triples only. With a bonus Alina's trademark. She was clean, she was showered with GOEs. She was traveling when she spinned. Very good skate tho. This girl is as clutch as you can get ngl.
Now onto the JPN ladies:
- Rika. Underrotations, losing level on spins and StSq, fall. She choked. Underrotations has been her problems for a while now. Unless Lambiel can fix her asap, she has to say goodbye to her chance at Beijing as TP was scrunitizing the JP ladies hard yesterday and looks like they won't let her (them) off easy.
- Satton was a mess both in SP and FS 😭😭. She looked so down. I hope she was alright and can bounce back. Idc about her jumps, i just wanna see Satton mesmerize us with her sublime skate.
- Kaori looked the best out of the 3. That flutz was called tho
Overall JP barely hanging on their 3 spots...
Notable mention:
- Loena and Karen. Clean programs. Very enjoyable skate. Karen saved USA their spots 👍👍. Hope USfed can choose her for Beijing. She deserved it IMO.
Conclusion:
The ice is slippery. Anything can happen. The Russian ladies might sweep here. But who knows w/e will happen at Beijing?
Did anybody see there were two coaches with Rika? What's the problem that there were three for Anna and Moris?
How one twitter said: Tutberidze: "Daniil doesn't count, he is a club pet" :)). Jokes aside, what I don't like about Anna is that she is almost an industry plant, skating wise. Tutberize ofc wanted another champion and Anna happened to be the only one left in the team that actually is over 15 and competing. So, guess we had a new world champion. SP proved that loud and clear. And in the FS, oh, how lucky she was that Rika and Sasha did the errors they did. Because she couldn't even land quads, let alone a 3A. But you can see already that she is meeting the usual "expiration date". I bet she is the new Mededeva and she will be so lucky if she manages to grab the OGM and then I doubt she will manage to keep on. And her skating - over scored and repetitive. If next year we see again "sad soundtrack" programs, I will be so dissapointed, but not surprised. And how she did the interview with the whole team behind her while Sasha and Liza without even the one coach they had - she gave this vibe of "very controlled skater by its team". Like for eg you can see that Liza is in complete control of her programs and choices. Sasha almost is getting there. But Anna? Oh no, I bet if Daniil will giver her "wheels on the bus" to skate to and Eteri will make her jump 56hours a day, she will do it regardless of her opinion or discomfort :))
Nothing against Anna though as a person. She does what it takes. And she is only a teenager. The mechanism though behind this whole "champions of Tutberidze" is sth I completely disagree of- because while the results are there, the soul and "legendary stuff" is not. I bet in 10 years people will forget about many of the "Eteri champions", but will still remember other stars, that didn't even had the same "succes".
Ok, and where is Sasha with her "I want", "I decide myself". It seems like she doesn't even need a coach. That's the work of being a coach - to control the athlete. And how the heck her last year free program was "sad soundtrack"?
@@fsmilka8021 Sasha? On the world podium. And currently landing successfully in official practices 5 quads and 3A. Huge pity nerves took the best of her, but many great things take time. And about Anna's sad soundtrack - while obv she had Perfume and her fs contained Gnosiemme no 1, a highly used movie soundtrack. Maybe my choice of words wasn't the best, but you get the idea "sad piano piece/ soundtrack" that we've seen from her ever since juniors till now almost in each and every program.
@@andreeat608 she had 5 quads and 3a at the practice a year ago. There's no progress, she's 12th after sp, such a joke. She doesn't know her limits and Plushenko, seems like, can't say a word against her "I want"
@@fsmilka8021 I personally see a big progress in Sasha's jumping & overall skating technique within the last year. The fact that she managed to keep the quads despite the physical growth and harder training conditions under covid is an amazing success in itself. Remember, many people were predicting she would be done with them by the age of 16/17. And here she is, landing five of them after such a difficult year. Yes, she's inconsistent in competition, but I agree with @Vande E - great things take time. It was Sasha's "I want" that started the quad revolution and got her breaking so many world records in the first place.
To be honest Anna has always beaten Sasha even when they were little and neither of them were with eteri yet. She just wasn’t hyped by the media, that’s all
"slow and steady gets the cake-?" the race, paolo, *the race*
global panini had me dying🤣🤣🤣
There’s some of Nathan’s jumps that are overscored + how does he have higher PCs than yuzu and jason?????
in the FS, Yuzu stepped out of jumps/put his hands down multiple times - those affect his PCs. Nathan did none of that.
@@noemi5225 in the SP nathan fell in a jump yet it didnt affect his PCS at all...
Um...maybe the judges actually know how to appreciate clean, subtle artistry?
so i’m kinda new to watching figure skating but im a long time russian wag fan. i don’t really understand eteri’s influence on the scores, i understand she has a high reputation but how does that affect the score of her students? kinda reminds of alexander alexandrov and his favoritism but his gymnasts never got extra points just bc they were his students. luckily the federation was able to do something about that but why cant they for eteri? anyways this shit is messy and addicting
