I think it's just a costume made for the CM, like the red Ghana costume was. I love it overall, especially the sleeves and the green velvet pants though the golden belt on the right picture looks a bit too big on him? Maybe it's just the angle.

The Thank You Canada Tour is until the end of November so V/M would have time for the December shows. But HielsoEspanol was talking about a superstar in singular so that's why I think it might be a singles skater. Mao once skated at a GPF in Spain. I don't remember about Plush skating at ROI before but I might be wrong... We'll find it out soon, maybe tomorrow?

I wonder who that figure skating superstar might be. It's probably not Plushenko since they tweeted it yesterday that the fans should keep the expectations higher than him lol Someone retired like Mao? I don't think it's Yuna because she only did a few shows this year but I don't think she has an intention to do more shows.

Yes, I think landing the 4Lo before leaving for Korea was probably one of those goals he's talking about. I wonder what the others might have been. This interview makes me emotional too P&G clothes usually look nice on him so we can be hopeful it fits him

Thank you for doing this @Joey, it'll be so much fun!

ETA:

It seems that a new edition of Team Brian will be published on 1st November. From what I understand there'll be new parts in the book about the road to PyeongChang and also about the 2018/2019 season, including parts about Yuzu. The Team Brian book was first published in November 2014 and it was written by Brian Orser. It is only available in Japanese (but some parts were translated into English) Hopefully there'll be translations of these tweets soon.

Yevguéniya sounds really complicated I'm already used to her name in Hungarian which is Jevgenyija Medvegyeva, maybe because this pronunciation is closer to the original...

OMG Johnny

De jó lenne, ha feléledne a topik

Protocols are here (Dai was 4th in the FS): https://www.jsfresults.com/National/2018-2019/fs_j/block5/data0105.pdf I read somewhere that he started to train jumps only a month ago so this may explain his form in the free skate. In the SP his stamina still looked better- but he really struggled in the free skate and had only 2 clean triples. He looked also slowish overall and skated a lot on two-feet. From what I've seen I like the FS better than the SP but we'll see how much these programs will improve.

A long and very interesting interview with Gracie Gold. I wish her the best of luck for her comeback. Edit: the original video was taken down, here's the new link:

Kazuki's Riverdance has great potential, and while I agree that it's difficult music but it was just his first competition and he'll improve in that program as the season goes. re Yuzu and Zigeunerweisen - that was a difficult music too, not latin but csardas which has rhapsodic rhythms, and Yuzu did well with that program and music. I think it was a good choice for his first senior season at age 15/16. Not everyone can pull that music off at such a young age but he feels any type of music, he's really unique in that aspect as well.

Happy 31st birthday to Sergei Voronov! Sergei is exactly ten years older than Boyang

Happy 21st birthday Boyang!

Is it one of those etsy Nessies? It looks so cute

Oops...

I checked the scores but was too lazy to post the results here Shun would have won in Ostrava and Yuma's scored would have only been enough for the 6th place. I'll continue the discussion in the Juniors thread...
