You're very silly to think that.

If she does, good for her. She probably needs to get political asylum first. Can't wait to hear the dirt.


as long as there are family members to threaten she won't talk

Bless Johnny Weir for speaking Russian and being able to tell us what the Russians were saying during all that. Trusova was sobbing and ranting and refusing to go to the medal ceremony, seemingly upset by what Valieva is going through, but No! She was pissed she got the silver instead of gold!



Now that really was gold.

The athletes' looks and media skills absolutely matter for their profile.

Or perhaps something to do with the positive test and the real story behind it? Out of all of them, I like Trusova would be the one to spill the beans on what has been going on in Eteri’s group, she actually left for a while so there’s a history.



She probably meant that Eteri knew she wouldn't get gold on jumps alone but kept feeding her with false hope.


LOL yes "everyone has a gold medal but meeeee!" The Queen of Scots has a bonny son - and I am but a barren fig tree.

Come on Sasha. Jumps are awesome but the rest of the program isn't there and she isn't even pretending to try. It's very nice for her to get silver but she's NOT champion material. She just isn't. Anna is a way more complete skater and great PR. Well behaved, great English, cute, gives nice interviews. She'll do well.

There's not a molecule of joy in the house at this medal ceremony. It's like a funeral. EVERYONE is miserable.

The first words from Eteri to Kamila as she walked off the ice: "Why did you stop fighting? After the axel, you just stopped fighting. Can you explain why?"

FFS Eteri.

The only woman comforting Kamila for a while was a Russian TV Channel 1 manager who hugged her as she walked off.


+1. I want Eteri to go down in a bad way.

The most devastating thing I’ve seen. There are a lot of falls and tears in this sport at every level, but my God I’ve never seen an event unravel like this. F**k Eteri forever, she should be in jail.

The joke is on Trusova, because she could have won gold if she straightened her leg during her spiral, and presented to the judges for 0.25 seconds instead of hurling herself between quads. I'm excited that she landed her jumps and got them mostly rotated, but her skating in between jumps was not even close to the level of the other skaters. I can't believe her PCS was as high as it was!

Why would she comfort someone she is done with? You're assuming that she gives a damn about her athletes? After serving whatever suspension, Kamila will done. Eteri cares about the next crop,

Eileen Gu is not the only US born competing for another country. Many have done it and many will do it. People go where there is an opportunity to shine. It's their once in a lifetime chance to show what they can do. If it's very competitive in the US, don't worry, other countries will take you if you can meet the Olympic requirements. You don't even have to speak their language. Same with the US, we take in potential Olympians all the time.

Yet, some of us choose to concentrate on Ms. Gu.
Looks, talents, athletic and smart. Many people hate that.
