• Real on Eteri Tutberidze: “We need to start competing already. Enough of sitting on the sidelines. Naturally, it’s not particularly desirable for smaller countries to let Russia back, because they have finally gotten a chance to compete for medals.”
• Susab on “There were only two clean skates. It’s not interesting to watch. They’re not doing ultra-C elements, not doing triple axels, not doing quads. They’re only doing elements that have been performed for a hundred years.” Tarasova on women’s SP at the Europeans
• Yawn on “No one even tried a quad. It’s strange. They skated the same way 25 years ago as they do now. I see no progress. Only a few did triple-triple. I think it’s a low technical level.” Tarasova on the level of women’s singles at the Europeans
• ioanykie on Ilia Malinin: “Figure skating brings the extraordinary ability to connect deeply with an audience, both live and online. But a dark side emerges from the digital animosity masked as harmless opinion.”
• Real on Anna Shcherbakova: “I plan to go to Italy with my family and attend Olympics as a spectator. I want to feel that atmosphere from the other side and experience different emotions.”
