Idk how some people are treating this like Sasha had a crazy public outburst when she was HIDING IN A CORNER, turning her face away, asking to be left alone. THE CAMERA made this public. THEY BROADCASTED IT ALL BECAUSE A CHILD'S PAIN SELLS.
Ik most people aren't serious when they say "the girlies should expose sambo!" but please know that the Sochi doping whistleblower Rodchenkov is still living under witness protection w/ threat of assassination in the US and it's not just a little 'spill the tea sis' thing 🥲
The abuse in fs doesn't stop with Sambo, nor does it stop with Russia. If Eteri sees consequences it'll be a big victory, but the systematic abuse of children in this sport won't end until their safety is just as important as whether they're clean, and regulated just as strictly.
please stop woobifying eteri tutberidze. just bc she is just protecting her own international interests by being somewhat anti-war doesn't erase the fact that she's THE EMPRESS OF A CHILD ABUSE EMPIRE come the fuck on.
I'm sure that this would've been a backstage moment that we'd never know about if they weren't SHOVING A CAMERA IN HER FACE. She wasn't trying to make a scene.
yes I understand that kosto's skating career prospects are even worse now she's lost the little eteri politicking that she had. yes I am a kostomilano2026 truther. yes I am a dumbass. we exist ✊
girlies i hate to break it to you but if the ISU banned every country that had semi-recently engaged in war crimes / crimes against humanity / imperialism there would not be a single skater left eligible to compete.

Simply the best 💖
I am 100% sure that the media outlets who have ignored the abuse of these girls to profit from their "russian teen prodigies!" narratives are now going to villainise them as "russian cheaters!" and it makes my blood boil already 😔
I'm angry. You give up life and health to represent your country, become world no1, get plagued by injuries but still never place off podium. When you intend to keep competing they CAN'T FIND THE RESOURCES to get you the same medical treatment as your peers. Kosto I'm so sorry 💔
Can't help but feel that eventually the Eteri/Rusfed corruption bubble is going to pop, and that it will utterly destroy the reputation of both Russian figure skating and the sport as a whole for a long time.
What we know about Plushenko's 'Union of Champions' show (09/04/22)
(All the info we have from skaters and journalists, somewhat chronologically. Please forgive any janky translations.)
not to hagify loena bc she is only 22, but it makes me so happy to see a skater who isn't a child improve their skating instead of regressing bc of injury. not to say she hasn't struggled with injury but she and her team must be managing it well because she keeps getting better!!
hip surgery, three broken wrists, missing the olympics, humiliated on national prime time tv, abusive coaches, long covid, heart problems, an entire discipline change. and she is still fighting 😌💪
Okay but let's not allow Loena being (rightfully) in 2nd to distract us from clean Gubanova and Kurakova being behind Scherbakova who missed a whole combo. This is still ridiculous!! 😁😁😁
Remember that this was Sasha's dream, the culmination of her life's work. We cant imagine what she sacrificed to get here. She did everything she could, made history, and it still wasn't enough. And then they wanted her to stand up there and accept a medal that says "You Failed"
Sasha was happy at AoP; she moved back to an abusive environment bc it was the ONLY WAY she'd have a chance at the OGM. She landed FIVE QUADS and it still wasn't enough. She knows her future chances are impossibly slim. I would be even angrier than she is.
all of reddit and their mothers might be calling you an evil entitled whiney childish witch who has not ever deserved a single positive goe but they will never make me hate you...
some people just don't recognise a girlboss when they see one.
trying not to be hysterical but her speed, performance, ss look so much improved. she's so fast the spotlight can't keep up with her. and that 3S! even during recovery she's eating the whole field up. not perfect but you can just tell that she's healthier.
not to ruin the fun but you people take far too much pleasure in dunking on an abused sixteen year old. "haha your bones will be broken by 2026 🤭" how is this amusing to you.

🇷🇺 Eteri Tutberidze announces Daria Usacheva has retired from single skating and switched to ice dance (currently searching for a partner). She is no longer able to jump after her injury.
everyone is confused about morisi always getting a gala invite but clearly someone in the ISU is sick and twisted and just wants to watch the poor man paint himself blue like he's the little clown of the event
and so did Aliona Sergeyevna 'I am Bella from Twilight' Kostornaia, who famously won the 2020 European Championships in ladies figure skating whilst performing to the Twilight soundtrack, and her husband Georgy. obviously their first dance was to A Thousand Years.
I fcking hate this sport. I started watching it because of a girl skating to the twilight soundtrack and now I spend my nights faced with a system of institutionalised child abuse. Nightmare scenario.
when i see people complaining about the rusgirlies i just assume that they're not including kosto because she's flawless perfect never to be surpassed etc. miss twilight, miss dracula, miss your.little.devil3 she transcends the human concepts of borders and skating federations.
scientists need to study the fanyu dilemma of simultaneously believing that nobody will ever be as good as yuzu and dragging other skaters for not being as good as yuzu at his age
today aliona performed in the dracula show!!!
in the most kosto fashion, here she is descending from the ceiling and being destroyed by vampire hunters 🦇
(🎥 from smetanka.nancy)
one door closes and a thousand more open 💖 you were the most talented lady of your generation. a once in a lifetime athlete. the battleground changes, but you are the same fighter we know and love! every success awaits 🥂🍾 удачи тебе во всем!!!
the mind says eteri girls do not last past 18 but the heart says kosto is absolutely extraordinary she's the moment she breaks all the rules and she will get the support she needs to recover and compete far into the future
nothing like a little bit of silly goofiness at the end of a competition to make the pearl-clutchers scream and cry in the replies like she landed that jump on a basket of orphan kittens.
The Scene: 2022 Olympic FS. Kosto sits in the K&C after a perfect skate to Twilight, landing two 3As and a 4S. It's time to reveal her YouTube channel. She holds her phone up to the camera, and gasps are heard around the world as people behold the channel name: KOOLA KING.
