Has anyone found out if International Figure Skating magazine's Top 20 Highlights of the 2016-2017 season mention Yuzu? There was that quote by Tracy about his FS score so I assume there's something there, but I haven't seen anything else about it.

I'm loving the FS music choices. It makes me want to actually go watch The Leftovers now.

Zhenya is going Chopin in the SP too!

4x World Champion. An Olympic medal doesn't necessarily prove your worth, but a good career does.

It also made him fail his Salchow so he might hesitate to think about a second coming of The BoobskirtTM.

Unless it's costume related. Costumes are relatively safe, right? I mean, we won't jinx a second boobskirt into being, right!?

It was only 2€. If you'd bet like 100€, the Universe might have decided to screw you up, but with so small a sum They gave you (and Yuzu) a pass.

This superstition talk reminds me of how I refused to vote for Yuzu on that Goldenskate poll before Worlds because I was afraid to jinx it, so I voted for Boyang. With that men's field, I kind of wanted to encourage him (he was the less voted one in the poll), and apparently it helped him to the Bronze!

Regarding Yuzu's height, remember 17cm of it is hair!

so much,@gladi, for the P&G Days translation!

It depends. Would that be a Worlds gold medal in any competition but the one in the same season as the Olympics? Because that'd make a difference. There seems to be a bit of a side-eye by some to Worlds Golds in the Worlds Championship after the Olympics because of the culled out field (not all who go to the Olympics end up participating in the corresponding Worlds). I'd love a Worlds Gold not in the Olympics season but in the Olympics season, I'd rather the Olympic medal. If that makes sense.

Ray of sunshine.

Go Rika!!

Shoma and Marin's telepathy at work.

Someone explain: why is Deniss with Koshiro? Are they both training with Stéphane or is Deniss somewhere where Koshiro trains? I'm confused.

I wonder if the kids have insurance. Seems like a pooh hazard to run around in the rink trying to catch them as they're falling.

Yeah, I know, hence the ohhhhhhhhhh.

Yeah, it puts the text at the end, which doesn't work as well with this.

Why is Shoma pointing at his mouth.... ohhhhhhhhhh.

That's because she has 2 jumps in the first half, and thus her elements are better distributed.

I honestly would have appreciated it more if I didn't think it was super imbalanced. I preferred its junior version, though, without the choreographic sequence.
