Interview with Lakernik https://fs-gossips.com/alexander-lakernik-if-the-pandemic-subsides-then-we-can-discuss-whether-we-can-hold-the-world-championships-or-not/ (they accidentally posted a picture of Alexander Kogan, general director of RusFed, instead of Lakernik) original interview in Russian: https://rsport.ria.ru/20200330/1569342583.html

As expected.

Does it say he is in Canada now? If not then it is possible he is at home and they recorded the video in Japan.

I'm staying home with a virus so I watched Pairs and Ladies from Worlds 2018. Aliona and Bruno skated so well at that competition, it was nice to watch it again. And the ladies were good too, though the free skate wasn't the best. Wakaba's free skate there was one of the best performances I can remember from the past years. Everything was perfect there and she should have won that free skate. The Krylova interview was very interesting and I think it's good that she spoke up. She was probably not the only coach who tried to appeal against a result and was advised not to do it - in the sake of her own career. If there is no accountability then there is always corruption, sadly.

An interview with Conor Skatelum on how he started skating, what was his biggest success so far, figure skating in Ireland and his cat Sharon!

Chris was planning to move back to Japan and start coaching with his sister Cathy, he wrote about it in his last blog entry https://ameblo.jp/reed-icedance-blog/ His life was just ahead of him...it is always shocking when someone dies at such a young age. His longtime girlfriend, former skater Kerstin Frank posted this today:

It is shocking...it is always very saddening when someone so young dies. May he rest in peace. Condolences to his family and close friends.

The interview is like a drop of water in the middle of a desert now...thanks to CBC and Scott Russell for sharing it with us now. They were respectful to Yuzu and asked him some really good and thoughtful questions (the Pooh question is always a must though but Yuzu's answer is so nice). I liked how he talked about what skating means to him and how he found his confidence after he decided to change the programs. There is so much drive, passion, emotions, and sincerity in him. It's also really good that they mentioned 3.11 and the People's Honour Award as well. The whole interview and they shots they used in it is beautifully done too. I think I will rewatch it many times tomorrow.

Just copy the link that ends with .jpg or .png and it gets automatically embedded It is definitely him

There were some really memorable moments this season that I loved. The first one is probably the 4A attemps at GPF, it was madness. And in general, watching his skating there, his beautiful jumps, spins, step sequences, cool downs at the end of practices. Then the 5 quad free skate, with 4Lz back. Biellmann at GPF gala. It was a memorble week in so many ways. I loved Skate Canada as a whole, too. Great performances from Yuzu. His PW EX. Hugging Nam at after his free skate. Then NHK gala, playing with Domo-kun His Origin costume reveal at ACI, it was love at first sight *_* Changing his programs, the way we learned about it...we really thought it was a typo for a few hours. Beautiful Chopin, with a well deserved new WR, was the cherry on the top. Fierce Seimei, with the changes in the program. Hope & Legacy/View of Silence as EX was beautiful. Finally winning gold at 4CC and becoming the first male skate to complete the Super Slam. The list is long and I could mention other things as well...all in all it was a good season for Yuzu. And what I think is the most important that he ended the season healthy.

Thank you for putting so much work into this game the whole season, it was fun, @Old Cat Lady. I am looking forward to it again next season.

It's really sweet, thank you Tracy for this video It seems the video was taken after a training session, that's why he sounds tired. Thank you for the translation. She doesn't spend much time in Poland but she already speaks the language a bit...she is talented

Can the final winner battle it out with Chopin in the Grand Finale? @yuzuangel I voted Etude! I have so much love for this program

Two fan translations:

I hope someone translates it soon, here is it with google translate:

Those ISU medals (all of them, not just junior medals) were so tiny before the 2017/18 season. Then changed the size and this is one of the many reasons I am happy that Yuzu finally got a big shiny gold medal this season at 4CC. And yes - he has always had his own style, he was special already at that age. His skating is the perfect combination of technique and art.

Before thinking about new programs...I'm watching Yuzu's free skate from Junior Worlds 2010 now - it happened 10 years ago today. It was a great skate and I love to watch it again then and now.
