Nina Mozer is back

I think he knew it well before the competition. He went for the team competition where he won the gold medal, that is what mattered. And since he was the only Russian competitor in the men's it would have been too much to skate his SP & FS in both events anyway. So he WD.

An interview with David Wilson by Jack Gallagher. If you don't want to click on it, here it is:

Happy 7th anniversary to Yuzu's first Olympic gold medal! I was looking at some pictures from gettyimages and there are so many good ones from that day:

Men: Rizzo went for 4T twice and 4Lo too, though he likely got calls on them, they weren't clean. Daniel went for 4Lz and 4F, he looked so tired at the end. The fall from the 3A looked so painful.

End result of the ladies

Gran Premio Finale free skate is on now Results page/protocols are here.

Happy birthday to TAT! I liked the way she talked about her late husband - it'll be the 10th anniversary of his death in April. She always says what's on her mind no matter what. The ending was funny...dasvidaniya and then

What sad news, I hope Yuzu and his family and everyone who are affected are doing fine. I also hope the damage of Ice Rink Sendai isn't bad and it can open again if they make sure the building is safe.

Thinking of everyone in Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures. I hope everyone stays safe.

Short programs/Rhythm dances of Italian Gran Premio Finale are on:

Yeah, Rika was on the picture at the rink. I think she just wants to stay lowkey about it. I don't think she'd travel there before Worlds to get new program(s) for next season. I find it more possible she's training jumps there.

Happy Super Slam anniversary & Yuzu's gold medal at 4CC!

In this interview from January Kondratiuk said it was only last summer when he learned how to jump 4T, 4S and 4Lo too (he said he accidentally landed the 4T and 4S around 2019 Europeans but he forgot how to do them for a while). He's got the consistency with the toe-loop and salchow in a very short time then. When asked which skaters of the past and present are close to him in style, technique, character he said from the past, it's Yagudin, from the present, Yuzu and Sasha Samarin (he likes Samarin for his character and he'd like to be like him).

He stood out the most in the short program and free skate here. He already skated well at Nationals and he became 3rd there (he wasn't qualified initally but after Artur WD he could compete at Nats). Maybe his name is not so familiar also because he hasn't got JGP assignments in the past seasons and he competed at smaller B events only. He trains at CSZKA with Sokolovksaya.

The free skating has just begun Channel One Trophy: Free Skating - YouTube Zhenya looks better than how she looked before at Russian Nationals gala. Zagitova's skating however looks labored and slow and her posture isn't good either.

Team Event SP is on Channel One Trophy: Short Program - YouTube The blue team is leading after the men's, but I think after the ladies the red team will be first. I cheer for the blue one

Medvedeva and Zagitova from today

The tweet got deleted and this was posted instead:

I thought she'd stay in Switzerland before Worlds (if it takes place), and wouldn't travel anywhere until March, especially not USA.

It looks so beautiful, I need it too

Here's the full video of the jumping contest ETA: it's taken down...
