Literally hollered when Dave said he was jealous they didn’t use any of their sound bites for Kamila’s audio 😂😂
You guys always keep me laughing!

[dkeinow]

Germany: Let's livestream Nebelhorn Trophy for free

Russia: Let's stream the test skate to show the world that we are the best (despite what happened last Olympics and the war going on)

USFS: Let's keep champs camp a secret and relegate US skating to Peacock.

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.

I’ll listen out for you both in Diana & Gleb’s programs!

[feeria]

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.

[lyramusica]

Team Tutberidze honestly stooped to a NEW LOW. Forcing a young girl to relive her trauma when it was THEIR FAULT that this happened in the first place and abandoned her to deal with the press/media on her own. They are truly heartless people that don't give a damn about their students' well-being and they deserve to be banned from coaching internationally.

[dianecormier]

I love watching both of you I am regular each week so looking forward to this every time you post something ❤

[joannm.]

If Eteri can torture Valieva w/a program that re-lives her Olympic Games, then perhaps Eteri should have made Trusova skate to a reenactment of her hearing the final results of the competition 🤔🤔

[annahamilton]

I’m here for the pairs. Have you already discussed Russian pairs? That was an awesome show :)

[MMG]

Yayyy there's still love for our chaotic Dima Aliev <3

[Jeremy-wpyh]

As much as I want to support valieva's programme. SHE was caught cheating. It wasn't discrimination

[msmo]

OMG!! This was so entertaining that I watched it twice!! Thankyou!!!!

[jekicolin]

“this is the greatest shiтshow of a school we have ever seen” 💀💀

[sleuththewild]

I loved seeing Mishina and Galliamov in Team Moskvina jackets instead of Team Russia.

[anthonydolio]

Thanks guys. Deanna is the reigning "grand dame" of figure skating. Her positions in the lifts are magnificent.

[longmint]

It's the toxic social media comments like on here that Valieva is mostly referring to. What she dealt with at the Olympics was nothing compared to what she's been barraged with for 7 months in Russia and abroad.

[gwo-roaglee]

Imagine Kamila is an American, and you would be saying, :this girl overcome all the drama and still skating and strong.

[satanoJ]

The cinematic Kami and Eteri hug moment 😱

[Cooltiger]

I want to say it's the start of the season and I want to say thank you for keeping us update. Will you do another As the Blade Turn
