The Dreams on Ice thread is now open. All discussion about the show (including live TV broadcast) can go here

I made two threads about NHK Trophy and Rostelecom Cup 2021, please post everything about tickets, travel, etc here:

On the negative side Yuzu will have a couple of competitions within a few weeks but the good thing is that he'll only need to fly to Russia and then NHK, GPF and Nationals will all be in Japan, which means less travel for him. With these assignments it seems likely he isn't planning to go back to Canada soon, which probably means no ACI for him either (he may go to Asian Open Trophy if he wants to test the Olympic venue and skate his programs at competition before the GP Series). I hope going to Sochi will be a good omen in the Olympic season. I wish good luck to Yuzu at the GP Series and hope he will stay healthy and everything will go well for him at those events.

It is true, Plushenko posted it on his official instagram, Russian media are also reporting the news already as well.

Sambo wants all the 3 spots for Olympics and I think Sasha knows she wouldn't have much chance if she stays with Plushenko. With Eteri she will have at least more politics behind her than she had with Plushenko. It's sad that Khrustalny has the full monopoly now in Russian ladies, Plushenko or CSKA have become completely irrelevant (at least it was still a bit different pre-Pyeongchang). It's crazy that Shcherbakova, Trusova, Kostornaia, Valieva, Usacheva and Khromykh are all together now with Eteri.

Thank you so much @Wyell

Thank you to all satellites for sticking with the Planet for so many years. When the Planet was created four years ago today, the Olympic season was upon us and now the next Olympic Games are coming up in a few months - time is flying by so quickly. Hopefully we will all be able to support Yuzu and cheer for him together in the next season as well. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

I found this old picture - I wonder which event is it from? It's at least ten years old. https://www.instagram.com/p/COJLQlAJtmM/?igshid=1eu9o9q1q22xj

Lyra Angelica was Kwan's famous free program from the Olympic season in 1997/1998. I think it's a good choice of music for Satoko and I hope Jeff's choreo will be great.

It's good to know they praised Yuzu a lot and they told the truth about his skating. It's also considerate of them to mention he had to quarantine after Worlds and that it was a disadvantage. I finished uploading WTT and Worlds videos of Yuzu from Eurosport in different languages. You can check them all out in the video section if you'd like to watch them.

Yeah. And those 8-10 points gap are a lot.

Thank you for this @shanshani, it's very informative. It shows Russian judges underscore Rika the most, which isn't surprising, and that ofc they overscore their skaters a lot.

Done! This link is in the first post of this thread, on page 1.

I made a spreadsheet, it can be edited by anyone (even without a google account): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XqpNZqzpuNhBAdIMrswvT94q04X12K7UlzqupkoAqsg/edit#gid=0 Feel free to use it.

No. I made one last season but it took me too much time to update it so often.

We will see the choreo of the program and whether the program suits him and he can skate to it well. Shows are one thing, competitions are other so I'll leave my judgement when he will skate to it at competitions.

He can...what?

She's spending some weeks at Sambo so it makes her easier to do a new program while she is there. It's not like she has that many options when she trains in Hungary - she could do online choreo with a foreign choreographer but that's not the same.

How many Boleros we will have next season?

SOI Yokohama thread is now open. Please post anything related to the show here:
