This and That: 2018 Rostelecom Cup (Yuzuru Hanyu, Gracie Gold, Alina Zagitova, Mikhail Kolyada, 임은수)

On this episode of 'This and That'' and we have an authentic and frank discussion of the 2018 Rostelecom Cup, featuring Yuzuru Hanyu, Gracie Gold, Alina Zagitova, Lim Eun-soo, and Mikhail Kolyada.. Yuzuru Hanyu and Alina Zagitova headlined the field in Moscow, an event which also marked Gracie Gold's return to competition. Yuzuru Hanyu scored a world record in the short program, yet battle through injury to capture gold in the free skate.

Alina Zagitova earned gold with a top score of her own in the short program. It was also a successful outing for Sofia Samodurova and Eunsoo Lim (임은수). Stepanova and Bukin and Tarasova and Morozov both appear on track to earn medals at the Grand Prix Final.

Gracie Gold's return to competition spurred much controversy and debate. While we were originally reluctant to discuss it, we decided to attack the topic head on and give our honest opinions of the entire situation.

Mikail Kolyada also experienced another rough competitive outing, yet his programs, potential and technique remain first class.
