  1. Poor Zhenya has tested positive for covid. Why would they be testing her regularly if she wasn't a close contact of a confirmed case? How are any members of Sambo allowed at CoR? They should all be quarantining right now. I'd be surprised if yesterday's WD was due to pneumonia.
  2. They're already not healthy. They're over trained and underfed to delay puberty.
  3. I don't understand Russian so I'm not sure if this is accurate but if it is then
  4. they could have done GP series this way and we'd be seeing Yuzu's new programs soon but ISU is really that dense
  5. Not sure if it's been posted here but the Australian National Championships scheduled for Nov/Dec have been cancelled and won't be rescheduled due to the uncertainty of domestic border closures and quarantine measures. https://bddb0f3c-5b25-4fd8-b64c-5ae09e0c4567.filesusr.com/ugd/b5945d_2dae37622bff4dc1ae5b0d464ec781d2.pdf ISU really is crazy to think 4CC could ever happen.
  6. Are you considering the audience or just the athletes? Because if you've seen the lines for toilets at FS events...
  7. Iirc the extra monitor at Nats was an asthma monitor. I think he's only worn a monitor during competition that once but he's worn the usual monitor during galas.
  8. It's just cruel to advertise 4CC at this point. It's impossible. Yuzu won't be there anyway even if there is a miracle.
  9. EP's entire career is based on painting celebrities which imo is the only reason her work draws any attention at all. I agree that her paintings of Yuzu capture nothing at all of his essence. I personally have no qualms about purchasing fanart/fan goods so long as it's actually *art* and not just a photo printed on something. It's not an either or situation when it comes to buying official goods vs fanart so it's not like it's taking money from Yuzu or his sponsors. I wish more fan artists were okay in selling their work because I'd love to own it. Imo there are far more talented artists on Twitter than EP but she's made more money than any of them would see in a lifetime even from selling small "mass produced" fan goods.
  10. Nessun Dorma is the theme music for TV Asahi's coverage of the GP series as well as Figure Skating Legend Program, so I guess it's probably because of its strong association with FS? 🤔
  11. I just assumed that ISU failed to update the document to reflect the postponement. They're not exactly the most competent organisation, right?
  12. A venue must hold an international competition before it's allowed to be used for the Olympics. It's to test the readiness of the venue and the host etc.
  13. There's really no way we can have 4CC here and it does look like ISU is abandoning it for the sake of the GPF test event. I think the idea of moving 4CC to a Beijing is better but the best idea is to just cancel everything and stop risking lives for a corrupt sport. IOC could easily make exceptions to the rules for test events during a pandemic and stop this madness.
  14. JSF will announce details about skaters, tickets, etc for NHK in September make it stop
  15. Wait for feds to pull their skaters out and for each government to shut it down again?
