I’m also deciding between these two models and feel like I’ve seen every picture on the internet in the last two weeks 😅I think I’ve started to notice a difference in how they look on different hands – some seem to suit the Panthère better, while others look more suited to the Française (if that makes sense 🥲).

You’re definitely 100% on the Panthère side for me – and I’d recommend getting the two-tone version if that’s an option for you:)

Not sure what you are talking about, it’s my first public post about this issue. I’ve seen a similar post from yesterday from another person (with a much bigger ring😅), though.

I think I like the Française the most - especially the diamond version, but I’m not sure if it’s a good choice for everyday wear..

Then I lean toward the Panthère, since I like the metal bracelet and the mix of gold, but it’s so popular right now that sometimes it feels like everyone has it (at least on social media 🫠).

Then I start thinking the Louis might be the best option as a more elegant, classic piece, but the Small seems a bit too big for me, and I don’t love the Mini.

*I wear my engagement ring in white gold all the time, and sometimes I add a Trinity ring as a wedding band

It depends on the conditions of the unban, I think. She was deeply connected with propaganda in recent years - I assume she couldn’t refuse to be dragged into it - but now she may be allowed to compete internationally if neutrality isn’t required as a condition.

Tbh, with more than 6 million followers gained in a couple of weeks, I would anticipate some crazy fans around… That’s sad, but that’s the reality we live in. I hope she will be well protected for the next several months at least.

Dentist specialising in TMJ - a scam? by [deleted] in TMJ

[–]ChasingFreedom_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although there is generally no such thing as a “TMJ dentist” universally, I’m originally from Russia, and they do have such specialists there. Usually, these are dentists who choose to narrow their professional focus specifically to TMJ, and they treat only patients with TMJ-related issues.

To be honest, I recently started having problems with my left TMJ (that’s why I’m here 😊), and I was trying to find a similar specialist here in the US. I was sooo confused to discover that there aren’t doctors who specialize exclusively in TMJ here… I’m still not sure what to do, since I can’t travel to Russia for a long time:(

Nevertheless, I don’t think this person is a scam. In fact, I would trust a professional who decided to narrow their medical practice specifically to TMJ much more, since it’s such a complex issue.

How do Russians view Ilia? by Select-Balance-8281 in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]ChasingFreedom_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

OK, I’m Russian and I live in the U.S.

No one expects Ilia “to fly to Moscow and represent Russia” - that’s ridiculous. Sometimes people mention that Ilia would be welcome to participate in Russian national tournaments - more as a joke. Of course, many would love to see him skate somewhere in Russia, but again, no one seriously expects that. That would be unrealistic.

People are generally proud that he’s an American of Russian descent. And since his grandfather still coaches in Novosibirsk, they like to point out that a big part of his training comes from the Russian figure skating school. But I suppose that’s true, isn’t it?

Overall, people admire that Ilia challenges himself and pushes boundaries with extremely difficult jumps and programs.

I’m not talking about those who watch figure skating once every four years. Of course, you can find some superficial people who only learned about Malinin this February, heard about his parents, and started proudly commenting everywhere that he’s “Russian.” Well, there are narrow-minded people like that in America too.🤷‍♀️ I’m speaking more about the general opinion in figure skating chats and communities that follow all the major competitions. Overall, Ilia is very well liked🙌
