I complied a playlist and it's over 3 hours now! It's the hardest thing to decide which videos should I delete from the playlist

Maybe the person who posted is a big manga fan

I'm in, too! I'm not into fanfics either but everything else is ok to me!

I set the date and created the event of the streaming party This weekend we're having one party (instead of two as it was before), I hope many of you can join us!

Anyone has suggestions for happy fluff videos? There are so many of them. Should we add interviews as well? I have to check it later but there are about 20+ videos of novice and junior competitions, which is a perfect amount for a streaming party! If anyone is interested in it, we can do that next time, or some time in January.

Adorable.

Zijun turns 21 years old on 14 December. Happy birthday to her!

Thank you for organizing the game @Joey, it was lots of fun! And congratulations everyone who participated!

I hope you can join us next time!

A nice interview with Misha Ge. http://figureskatersonline.com/news/2017/12/13/misha-ge-all-i-know-as-a-coach-and-choreographer-is-from-my-parents/ I agree with this, and it's good to hear it from someone like him who is not at the top when it comes to technique but is very good at the artistic side of skating.

Update on Yuzuru's condition

Javi will be already in Madrid tomorrow to attend at the inauguration of his sculpture in Museum de Cera. I think he will be the 11th athlete who has a sculpture there.

I was sort of expected this...but health comes first. Back problems are awful. I wish her the best! Is she going to compete at Nationals too? I'd like to hear news from official sources, not from Averbukh.

It's a great thread, thanks for opening it. @Deliverpooh I love Baba Yaga! I think it's a very good choice for Misha, he performs it so well. I love the music, too. @Fay it's beautiful. I almost forgot about that one...She was such a mature performer even at the age of only 16. @kaeryth Anna's and Luca's EXes are really amongst the best. When I was watching GPF gala today and saw their Chaplin EX I thought about how good they were, that they always bring something exciting, playful and characteristic for Galas. I'm on a nostalgia wave today so I bring two EX-es from the 2002 Olympics which are amongst my top favourites. First is Michelle's Fields of Gold which brings me to tears every time I see it. She was not my favourite at that time, I always rooted for Irina haha, but this EX was so emotional, given the circumstances...it was magical. And the second is Alexei Yagudin's legendary Overcome. (thanks for the Japanese for these super HD quality videos Something I could have only dreamt of back in 2002)

I just hope they are wrong about the knee injury and it's just a wrong translation. The didn't even mention his ankle, that's why it suspicious to me...At this point it is probably better not to believe anything what newspapers say about his condition It's a difficult situation but on the other hand I'm sure that he and his team are preparing for it as much as it is possible. And I have faith in him because he's been through so many hard situations at different competitions in his career that with his mental strength and experience he is capable of doing the best. I try to think about things like that the Olympics are unpredictable for everyone, not just for him, and he at least already experienced to compete there, and knows exactly how different it is from any other competitions. That's an advantage which can be helpful during the Olympics, and can make him even stronger mentally. Now, as @kaerb said, we can't really do anything but hope and wish that he will be physically and mentally in good form by February.

The costume of nine-year old Yaroslav Polovik from Ukraine was inspired by Hope & Legacy! source There's video, too (he won the event, by the way!)

Ivett skated for the first time in the season today, her SP is an AC/DC medley. She said they chose this music to recall the judges of their younger years I'm not sure if it will work, we'll see. She also said that she still feels pain in her leg , but she's optimistic and confident that she can be in top form in the second half of the season. She fell on her opening 3T-3T and the 3Lz was UR and two-footed. I hope she can skate well tomorrow, good luck to her!

Ivett Toth programs for 2017/2018 season: SP: AC/DC medley (Thunderstruck, Back in black) FS: Carmen

Happy Birthday, Yuzuru. I wish him happiness, health and good luck on this special day. I hope all his dreams will come true in the upcoming year! May his birthday be filled with lots of love, laughter, and fun too!

I love tuki

Personally I don't think the evidences for state-sponsored doping were independent and impartial either. And that he was not involved was evident.

If there was no independent, impartial and documented evidence of state involvement, why punish the whole country? With this logic, the could ban other countries as well if they really wanted to...I go back to my original thought that's only about politics, and nothing more. I hope for the best, my fingers are crossed for Russia and their athletes.
