  • This week, Deanna Stellato and Maxim Deschamps, Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson, Loena Hendrickx and Keegan Messing claimed gold at the 2022 Nebelhorn Trophy. Then, the Russians broke the internet with the most over-the-top test skates to date. It had a red carpet, theatrics and a Kamila Valieva free skate that left everyone talking. It was a return from the abyss for Adeliia Petrosian, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov, Sofia Akateva, Anastasia Mishina and Aleksandr Galliamov, Mark Kondratiuk, Dmitri Aliev, Eteri Tutberidze and Mikhail Kolyada. It is another jam-packed episode of 'This and That'.

    I don't get how Eteri and co. can give Kamila a program about the "evil west" scrutinizing her when it was them who threw her to the wolves. The audacity. She only had to pull down her hood to cover her face because they left her to deal with the media all by herself. One of the coaches should have been with her at all times since her parents couldn't be present. I also don't think that a (then) 15 year old would come up with the idea to take a banned substance all by herself. How much she knew will always remain a mystery, but it was the adults around her who put her in that situation. Sadly, it seems like she's gotten completely brian washed by the Russian narrative around her and is being used for propaganda. She's a product of the twisted system she grew up in and may never even realize it.

    For those who didn’t understand Kolyda’s program with crazy hands in gloves. This strange choreography beautifully suits the music called “tango in mental hospital”. The main character thinks he is seducing and dancing with beautiful girl, but he doesn’t realize that he’s dancing with himself in the in his white isolated little room in mental clinic.

      This tango is part of Schnittke's opera named "Life with an idiot". As a punishment for some misdeeds, the main character had to take an idiot to his house. It turned out to be a certain Vladimir, who at first behaved very quietly, but over time his behavior changed so much that the owner was forced to declare MARTIAL LAW in his house.

    Even though every once in a while my coach was kind enough to "donate" lessons to me, my family didn't have a lot of money for coaching and ice time, so I knew every minute counted.

      She is talented of course but her amazing consistency last season was suspicious from the beginning and now they found her guilty of doping. No matter how talented she is, she needs to be punished, otherwise what kind of example does it set?
      In the test skates we could see "clean" Kamila: slow speed, slow spins, no quads or 3A, she had to pause for 10sec in the middle of the program. She is still talented, but not 50+ points ahead everyone else like they tried to make it look last year

It made thousands of people cry unlike no other program in history of figure skating. People who watched her program gave her a standing ovation. Kamila has every right to do it instead of pretending it never happened.

    IMHO size is always relevant when discussing pairs and dance, and not in a mean-spirited way. It's something I always notice! Of course, we all know one can't discuss weight these days. Height is always a factor, and I wondered if the Nebelhorn announcer wasn't thinking more of height than weight when he made his comments. Thinking about the partnerships of Marissa Castelli/ Simon Shnapir, Sui and Han, Cain and LeDuc, Hawayek and Baker, and many others. These teams all have different challenges (or sometimes advantages) due to their height.

You guys often say that about Madison Chock but honestly I feel that Lilah is about to fall all the time, and Lewis is litterally carying her through the performance. So the program feels all over the place, like the movements are not safe or controlled ! Same last year with the Lion King. And I never have that impression with Chock and Bates.

    Producer Yana Rudkovskaya appreciated Kamila Valieva's free program dedicated to the Beijing Olympics.
    “As for the topic of Camila's free program, this is a debatable issue. It's one thing to skate such an indicative number, another thing is to constantly skate this difficult program during the season. How ready Camila is to go through all this again, how comfortable she will be - the question is for her.
    Even for me, a very strong woman, it is not easy to relive and remember the difficult moments of my life, but what can we say about the girl. But I have no right to advise or judge anything. She is an athlete, a member of the adult Russian team. Since she agreed to this story, it means that she knows that she can do it.
    Maybe she wants to convey a message to the whole world. We believe in Camila's innocence. And in my opinion, the skater, through the program, through her skating, wants to convey to the world that she suffered absolutely in vain. This is her choice and the choice of her coaches.
    In Russia, this program will touch the soul, in the world the reaction will be resonant. No one knows how the situation will be interpreted and what the final verdict on its history will be. I am sure that for both the coaching staff and the skater, it was a difficult decision, but they went for it.
    I repeat, as a viewer, the program touched my soul, I had emotions. Everything else is already a matter of time and the final verdict on her case, comfort, her mental and physical state, ”said Rudkovskaya.
