Eh - it's English -> Japanese -> English. Have you ever played telephone?

I agree completely and don’t understand people’s comments. I sometimes cringe when reading Phil’s blog and see comments from Yuzuru ubers. Phil Hersh is a respected journalist who is rare among sportswriters in covering figure skating. He has been much more balanced than many American sports commentators. I also think Jackie Wong is very fair and he’s had to face attacks from Yuzuru ubers as well.

https://bokete.jp/boke/23573560 It's from an ice show (Friends on Ice? 2011?), and I think the girls kiss the boys. Yuzuru was very young.

Yes I saw the altered title in my print edition this morning. Wonder if the title was changed now that “Nathan is the favorite for Olympic gold” (according to American media). Terry Gannon asked during the NBC broadcast and Tara said Nathan was the favorite, but Johnny (bless his heart) did not. Interesting that US media is ignoring Shoma.

So sad to hear this...I hope Yuzuru skips Nationals if he is not fully recovered..

I am heartbroken to hear of Yuzuru's injury and am praying for a good recovery. I am hoping he did not sustain a complete tear or one or more ligaments. My experience with torn ligaments. There are three ligaments in the ankle - I had Grade III tears in two out of three. Immediate ice and elevation. Two months in an immobilization boot and crutches. Physical therapy/ rehab started immediately. I went 3 times a week for 6 months, plus exercises to do at home. Ligaments do not heal "together" like bone. Think of your fingers facing each other, with palms facing towards you. The fingers will not completely come back together and seal. So I have one intact ligament left, and two other weak ones. The Physical therapists said recovery of broken bones is often faster and more "complete" than torn ligaments. I think from the reports so far, it is impossible to tell the severity of his injury (sad). We can only hope and pray.

I don't knowwhy people are so salty towards Dick Button? This summer when asked what message he would send to Yuzuru Dick came up with a nice encouraging note that was delivered directly to Yuzuru. I don't see anywhere in that article that Dick was criticizing Yuzuru.

Loved the article! It's unfortunate about the gloves. Yuzuru is so sensitive to everything I wouldn't be surprised if that threw him off (along with the new layout). He wore flesh-colored gloves at ice shows then switched to black for the competitions. So he always had gloves on for SEIMEI But as the mother of a 21 year-old, my first thought was "Pack your own dam#$ gloves!" And bring two pairs to the rink!

Black for chopin, with gold accents. White, with red and gold for SEIMEI NOTHING will ever beat the reveal of the white Prince costume.

Thank you! Awesome that we'll be able to see practice sessions.

I don't think Icenetwork is streaming ACI. It's not on their schedule.

I don't believe that Yuzuru has said he wants to do 4A in competition? He said he wants to land 4A.

I think it's in your out box because the person hasn't read it yet :o Thanks Hydroblade. Message is now in "Sent" box.

I tried to send a private message, but it only appears in my Out box. Shouldn't it be in Sent folder? I'm not sure message was actually sent. Thank you

asiacheetah - I'm still on GS and can copy your reports. I did a quick search using Tapatalk and they were easy to find. Give me a couple of days.

Are all the txt accounts from the same person? Also Shoma's diary. They were all created this month (so in the last week or so). They are pretty funny.

Lucky you :devil: And I'm a Slowpoke lol Yes but now you have 25!

Never understood patriotism either. My favorite team is Japan, I'm American. I am working on increasing my postings, up to number 17 now!

Shiro - is there a listing somewhere of World Standings by year? I do remember that Yuzuru hit #1 by end of 13/14 season But is there a way to look that up? Wayback Machine is for your service http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www ... /wsmen.htm Thank you so much Dara!
