Thank you for organizing this @Old Cat Lady! Edit: deleted, there's still the final round

Thank you for the transcript @MatchaBeans! I listened to the interview yesterday, it is always nice to hear what Tracy says about her students , her own career in ice dance or her work in the Cricket Club. She said so many great things about Yuzu again.

I can't express my disappointment about her words either. These are the thoughts of someone who was invited by Yuzu to one of his shows last year. I am speechless.

"Getting ready for FGP" So she's planning to do a 3A there? Then it'll really be game over for everyone else.

I just read that my country's broadcaster bought the rights until 2023 - I thought that initially it was for only one year

It is By 2 poins It seems it's full of transitions- and I would give him 10 for performance!

Maybe it's time for me to make a hot chocolate from my Ghana that's been in my desk in the past 1.5 years...I will leave out marshmallow but I'll add everything else! Yuzu is adorable:

And the long list of Russian skaters who are fascinated by Yuzu continues - Makar Ignatov is also a fan!

CoR was slightly better but I am afraid I won't be able to get back on the podium after my diastrous placement at Cup of Catastrophe I predict my wishlist more than what's realistic so that's the main problem.

A picture of Yuzu from FaOI has just been posted by Noto Sunao

Zhenya has achieved so much in her career so far, but she is still very young. Happy 20th birthday to her!

It is official now that the harasser was Hamada. I hope Oda will get the justice that he deserves. He has a lot of courage.

Thank you very much!

There is a long interview with JGP Courchevel bronze medalist Andrei Kutovoi with tons of very cute pictures throughout his career so far. He turned 14 last month and he competed in his first GP series this year. I hope he gets more than one assignment next season and we will see him a lot. His sense of musicality is something very extraordinary. He looks up to Yuzu and said some very things about him as well (I posted it in the General Yuzuru Chat too). https://www.insideskating.net/2019/11/16/interviews/skating-prodigy-andrei-kutovoi-dreams-of-the-olympics

There are so many young skaters who look up to Yuzuru I came across this interview with Andrei Kutovoi, he is a Russian skater who won a bronze medal at one of his Junior Grand Prix events this season and he said this about Yuzu: https://www.insideskating.net/2019/11/16/interviews/skating-prodigy-andrei-kutovoi-dreams-of-the-olympics

Thank you for keeping us updated about Junior Nationals, @Paskud I haven't seen videos of the men's SP yet but I find it strange that with similar jumping mistakes, there is a 5-point difference between Shun and Yuma in PCs. Really? Also I am sad about Kao Miura

It got already deleted, sigh, I wish the Olympics wasn't posting something that he didn't say and that is a complete mistranslation. It should be basic journalism.

That was sad to read. I hope he will get his confidence back and won't have a problem with landing the 3A as the season goes.

Interview with Nikolaj Majorov http://www.absoluteskating.com/index.php?cat=interviews&id=2019nikolajmajorov I didn't know he was a fire artist as well

We have this:

I agree that without a deal it's not really possible that the majority of federations would vote for this change. But I can see hit happen if there was some sort of package deal, in which one of the rule changes would be favourable for Russians while the other could also benefit other federations as well (raising the age limit to 16? + allowing quads in both programs? - just an example). But without any deal, a change that would be favourable only for Russians - at least currently - is something I don't think would happen next season at the Congress. I still think Lakernik & ISU will push the proposal of technical and artistic programs so if feds will vote for it next year, that could change everything anyway. Then it could possible that both triple Axel and quads would be allowed, maybe even in both programs - with some restrictions that were mentioned by Lakernik. Number of jumps, for example. Any big changes would only be implemented after Beijing 2022, not in the middle of an Olympic cicle though.
