What do you mean they haven’t paid him for five months????? What do you mean he’s training 4-4 combos without access to a doctor??? What do you mean they’re trying to make him contractually obligated to medal again???????

Misha’s win was exciting in part because he’s the only OGM I can think of who won at a time in his career where he so obviously had plenty of room to grow and many more things to achieve — he’s nowhere near his peak, and I thought his victory would get him the resources he needs to improve his components, work with a world-class choreographer, not have to worry about training costs, etc. Instead he’s having to fight for the bare minimum just as he’s done his entire career. It’s frustrating as a fan, so I can’t even begin to imagine how he feels.

The way he’s being treated by his fed would be unacceptable even if he WASN’T their first-ever figure skating gold medalist and one of the best skaters their country has ever produced. Given that he IS, it’s almost comically evil.

Alysaaaaaa!
