  • Medvedeva

    There’s no g in her last name, what is with calling her “Medvegeva” or “Veg”…. ??? Her actual nickname is Zhenya if you want something short to call her

  • Amended review

    As I listen to the back catalog of these talented, funny people who remind me of time when competitive figure skating was a prevailing part of my life, I’m removing a star from a previous review. Sarah lamenting the censorship of “pro Palestinian content” on tiktok at a time when our relatives were being raped, starved and eventually shot by Palestinians, really took me aback. To (mis)quote Kobe Bryant “Jews skate too.”
