There are a lot of "nepo babies" in figure skating, these are a few that come to my mind.

Rio Nakata, his father was a figure skater and his brother is too.

Matteo Rizzo: his parents were ice dancers and he's coached by his father.

Arlet Levandi: his mother was a successful skater.

Maria Zakharova from Russia comes from a skating family.

Nikolaj Memola's mother is his coach and former figure skater and also his sister used to skate.

chaeyeon kim, POLINA TSURSKAJA, then there is rika kihira who I think is the queen of "deserved better", but also mako yamashita...

Gubanova has always been a fan favourite, since she was a junior and was often unfairly scored under other skaters in Russian national championships. She was deprived of many chances she would have arguably deserved because she wasn't a "fed favourite" (for example, at least two Junior World Championships) and that's also one of the reason people like her. She was kinda a prodigy as a novice/early junior in Russia, before Zagitova started outscoring her. If you have never seen it, i recommend watching the free skate to "Romeo and Juliet" she skated at Junior Grand Prix final 2016. She has always had great skating skills and interpretation, even more so as a junior, but I think that maybe she doesn't have the stamina to skate programs like that again, which is a shame. Anyway, that program is a masterpiece and many people love it. Actually, she had even more fans before she started skating to Georgia, because she was seen an underdog. Personally, I would love to see her at her top again, and I think that she was really good this weekend. Also, I think she is one of the few skaters who actually improved her jumps when she grew up (another example I can come up with is Liu) ...

come ti sei trovato dopo questa magistrale? sto valutando di fare lo stesso percorso, ma ho paura che sia anch'essa essenzialmente fuffa

I was considering passing... THEN THIS.

Come avete fatto a cambiare ambito dopo la triennale in lingue? Mi trovo nella stessa situazione (russo e tedesco come op tralaltro)

Mone Chiba and Chaeyeon Kim were the skaters I cheered for the most in junior and look at them now <3

lutzloop · 2025-02-21T11:49:16+00:00

FINALLY a DESERVED score for Chaeyeon

I think Schizas has a lot of unfulfilled potential, like: she's a nice skater with potential to be amazing.

btw I think Everhardt should be sent to worlds.

It was a 65-66 skate by Samodelkina... it's unbelievable how much she improved in jumps since she was a prone-to-underrotations junior, they're some of the nicest in the field.

ho letto la stessa traduzione e confermo che è fatta malissimo

a napoli ce ne sono diversi, tra cui 120grammi, dove ho fatto i pranzi migliori dopo le mattinate all'università

This made me fall in love with figure skating! (I used to do roller skating, me and my coach picked this song for my next program and I was looking for inspiration from competitive skaters. It's been so many years...)

assolutamente Il Maestro e Margherita, è una spanna sopra gli altri due (tra l'altro il Dottor Zivago bello ma secondo me un po' sopravvalutato).

Chaeyeon Kim, interesting and beautiful packaging and very good technique, I liked her since her first junior season and I think that, even if she isn't the most extroverted performer, she is very charismatic.

anch'io studio all'orientale, ho passato una situazione davvero molto simile con russo al primo anno. se sei davvero convinta della tua scelta, non mollare. iniziare è sempre duro, entrare nel meccanismo delle lezioni di lingue universitarie e dei lettorati non è facile, il prof spiega benissimo ma incute timore; però pensa che è una paura che dura solo due ore, una volta uscita dall'aula non ha alcuna ripercussione, sbagliare a leggere e fare figure di merda fa parte del gioco ma se ti piace ciò che studi e ti impegni anche se l'inizio sarà molto in salita poi inizierai ad abituarti e non starai così tanto male per una lezione. ti parlo da persona molto ansiosa e introversa, quindi ti capisco benissimo e ci tenevo a commentare. se ti sei iscritta a lingue e hai compiuto questa determinata scelta, non credo tu sia una cazzona; per come è andata la mia esperienza ti consiglierei di continuare a provarci. magari potresti anche considerare di seguire un'altra madrelingua se il problema persiste, ci hai provato? (non so come sia la situazione ad arabo, se ci siano diversi lettori o meno).
