Happy birthday to our dearest Yuzu 🍄🎁 I wish him good health, love and happiness and wish him to make all his dreams come true! I hope he gets better soon.

Gabrielle Daleman has won Skate Canada Challenge. Alison Schumacher finished only 10th, hope she is not injured. Results: https://cssterminalserv.skatecanada.ca/results/22CHALLSeniorWomenCR.html

Hungarian ID team Yanovksaya/Lukacs have split after they couldn't qualify a spot for Hungary at the Nebelhorn Trophy. He will probably retire but she would like to continue competing for Hungary. https://magyarnemzet.hu/sport/2021/12/hoffmann-nora-most-mar-masok-almait-valositana-meg-a-jegen Julia Láng has reportedly left her long time coaches and she trains with Julia Sebestyen's group now. I'm not sure if she'll continue to train with Davydov's group on and off...she has also been injured so I wonder about her current form which we'll see at 4 Nationals later this month. Ivett has retired, sadly the last few years she wasn't that successful as her potencial showed back in 2016-2017. She had quite a unique style, I will miss her. That AC/SC short program in the Olympic season was memorable. Mark and Julia are doing quite well in pairs, though. They got two invitations in the GP Series and they did well. A few years ago I wouldn't have thought we'd qualify a pair for Olympics, and not a lady skater. Good luck for them at the Olympics!

After the ranking competition, the 4CC team has been announced. Nationals will be in January but it's likely that Young and Yelim will go to the Olympics from the Ladies and Jun and Sihyeong (?) from the men, so it'll be really tough for them to travel to Europe and then go back to Korea or fly directly to Beijing, unless some of them will WD from 4CC.

The watch looks nice especially the H&L colour scheme of the watch face - though I think silver would go better with these colours

I think yes - if he lands his jumps clean in both programs and others won't skate very well he'd have a chance for a spot. So far he has one 4S in the short program and free skate, and he might work on making his layout a bit harder for Nationals. There is also Wesley Chiu who is still very young but he skated a good free program at Warsaw Cup two weeks ago, landing two 4Ts in the FS. Roman looks in good position now but he needs to skate well at Nationals in order to finish in one of the top places to get chosen for the Olympic team. He has better reputation with the international judges than younger skaters like Gogolev or Chiu, he can get over 80 PCS if he skates well, and besides his jumps he also has great spins. He is quite inconsistent, though.

Nam is only 10th after the SP with a fall on 4S< and a 2Lz-2T combination. Hope he will skate better in the free skate, but his chances for qualifying for the Olympic team looks really slim now.

It's heartwarming to see all the banners in the arena ❤ Even if Yuzu is not here physically his presence is felt in the arena and in the Olympic park. People are talking pictures of Yuzu's plaque at the Champions of Wall, they are talking about him while having a coffee break during ice resurfacing, they have Poohs with them etc. Everyone wishes him to get better soon. I hope the good wishes reach him in some form and it cheers him up a bit 😊

Awful news It is terrible luck that it happens to him just now. We can only pray and hope it is not that bad and somehow he'll recover soon. But now I can't help say it feels so much like November 2017 all over again.

Next weekend will be very scary but exciting at the same time. He sounds determined and confident, otherwise he wouldn't talk about it before NHK. Praying hard that he stays healthy and well. Go Yuzu!

I hope he stays healthy and he enjoys skating which makes him happy. We love him and support him whatever he does.

The new ANA commercial is adorable. It's probably my favourite CM of his along with 'Hello Blue, Hello Future'. His acting looks natural and his styling is great (finally!!).

cute

I didn't really understand why she went to regionals so close after JO and before the GP Series...
