Not her fault, but that means that much of what I want to see improve in her skating - the “hitch” between jumps in her combos, her frequently wobbly axis, her relatively limited program variety and program construction - isn’t going to happen. I greatly dislike her Bolero program, but I am also acutely aware of the fact that this is as good as it gets, as she has high odds of completing the entire career slam this season (GPF, Euros, Olympics, and Worlds) and will probably only be around for two senior seasons. But part of it is also the high burn rate in women’s, which, again, isn’t Valieva’s fault, but it’s also impossible to ignore. Or, well, I exist, as I’m pretty sure I’m alone on that one. Some of that is because I don’t value flexibility all that highly and actually dislike a lot of hyper-extended spin positions on a purely aesthetic level, which is not Valieva’s fault and isn’t something I hold against her, but for what it’s worth, people like me do exist. Valieva is very, very, very good and I also have zero emotional response to her. * Limited social media/celebrity watching * No criticism in conjunction with novelty accounts * No asking about fitting of a particular model of boot * Discussion of fitness and nutrition limited no medical advice * No name calling or drama for the sake of drama * No bigotry, hate speech, slurs, or trolling Sub-reddits of interest for fitness and nutrition:
