The full video is more than 30 minutes. If people are going to leak, they need to do it correctly and with context. The video was originally taken to show the coaching style of one sibling coaching the other. It was reminiscent of old documentaries.
The cultural context had to deal with how one sibling was being treated as the alpha and the other performed on command. As I watched the interaction, it took a turn. And as you can see, it doesn’t appear shocking to those present (IMO).
A TSL Live member alerted that the rink schedule had seemingly changed and Live Barn hadn’t been locked. Marina Zoueva was present that Tuesday to coach for the TV cameras.
The post as it was shared discusses how some behavior in skating partnerships has become too normalized.
Coaches, judges and skaters who had seen the video before it went on Twitter were seemingly not surprised.
The juxtaposition of the terrible behavior with the terrible program is not lost…
