Hmm, do I get cookies for getting 2/3 of podium finishers correctly, even if my order isn't always right?

Step Sequence to end all step sequences! (Actually I'm curious too why he chose Shae-Lynn and Jeff. Did he just like their skating, especially since he mentioned watching ice dance and pairs as a child?)

Welcome to joining us in this masochistic endeavor called learning figure skating! Unfortunately, Zu's "Shuu-Pa!" only help after a while. Thought maybe you can try the "ton ton su"? (now I feel like us satellites need to meet up at a comp and actually go skating together! I can teach hydroblading!)

You'd miss the rest of the program though if you fainted during his actual program. Meanwhile I'm just mimicking that expression Brian had during that interview in Korea where he talked about Yuzu practicing it. That nearly choke on coffee one.

I do wonder what Yuzu's real ceiling is in terms of abilities. Think about all the limitations already placed on him physically/mentally/emotionally and just life experiences in general. Asthma, more injuries perhaps than normal, Tohoku earthquake delaying his training....and yet even despite these issues, look at what he has achieved artistically and athletically.

he's being nice, because if he really did that, people would all faint victorian style when he does drop a "Surprise, 4A!" on them. He does want to win after all, and surprising judges and startling them into accidentally pressing wrong buttons (or fainting) is a bad idea for getting scores.

So uncle Kurt was a bit crazy in his youthful peak days.

There are a lot of guys to chose from. Eric Radford can lift Javi, and Andrej Hotarek has already lifted Swanyu at least twice. Would Aljona pressure Bruno to join the battle though? Zhang Hao could probably lift him too, and for Cong-I'd rather see Yuzu and Cong do ice dance and demonstrate those lovely side by side skating skills.

The troll has decided to not ninja? Did the sun rise from the west today?

That would be really awesome for Yuzu. Granted he already has CiONTU, but still. They could have him visit England first for Pooh-san's forest. And then Italy, Poland, Hungary (maybe we can get live Edvin Marton x Yuzu?), Moscow. He travels a lot for skating, but I don't think he gets opportunities to do tourist things.

Smetana- in the music thread I think I already suggested Ma Vlast-Moldau.

Hey, you have Dvorak! Who knows, he might find something there (*cough new world symphony, お願いします cough*)

Argentina! Bueno Aires on the map then.

Hey Moscow sure, but he'd need super disguises, I imagine Russian fans could sniff him out within a mile. And he'd have to visit Hungary since Edvin Marton is Ukranian-Hungarian. A lot of trips to Italy though-Verona where we lay our scene, Nino Rota, Paginini. But he can visit Spain and bug Javi since Sarasate is Spanish!

We could probably write a travel guide for Yuzu. Us satellites are quite international, we can probably also tell him how to avoid crowds if he wants extreme privacy. I wonder...a travel itneniary based on his skating music? Starting with Verona Italy due to R&J 1.0, then meandering to Paris to experience real parisienne walkways, and a trip through Poland to see Chopin's homeland? (and um...I kind of prefer Italian food over french food.)

Well, I guess I can also look forward to it. Haven't visited europe for a vacation for a while. It'll be a nice change. =D (but my french is non-existent)

我也放弃了去日本看比赛。 个人看法嘛： 1. ACI- 比较值得去， 场地小， 虽然需要抢座位， 但是票不贵， 而且因为场地不大， 基本上不会有什么特别糟糕的位置。 而且除了柚子以外的很多选手都可以比较容易接触和碰到。 个人2017年的ACI和Duhamel、Radford有合影， 和Misha Ge以前合影， 和Tracy Wilson也有合影， 挨着Weaver/Poje 家人一起坐并且拿了他们的签名。 2. 加拿大的比赛-通常买票流程超级清晰， 感觉比很多其他站都做得好， 值得表扬。 3。 北欧的我没去过， 但是看论坛里很多人的反应， 好像一般北欧办理的比赛都比较可以的。 而且整体北欧是比较安全的 （个人工作原因去的次数比较多）， 有点小贵但是觉得整体还是值得。 倒是想问一下去日本看商演会不会稍微好一点？ 还是任然需要用命抢？

I grouch about his PCS at ACI, because it seems like subtlety is sometimes lost on judges. Very few skaters can really jump and land jumps and make jumps blend into a quiet section of music. Yuzu can-and the jumps aren't small ones either, they are large, tidy, neat and light airy jumps. It's beautiful technique, and with his SS it enables him to do so much. It's going to be a while before we get another skater at this level.

Took the costumes one too. Results are surprising (NOT) Can't believe I had a 7 way tie for 4th place. o_O

The fingers in Otonal, it's softer than even Swanyu's.

Yes yes, but a lot of the WD are among my faves. (otherwise fingers, toes, elbows, all limbs, tongue too crossed- so far the men's field seem less touched)

This season is a bit weird in terms of WD for GP series. So many injuries....Skating gods, you guys had one (1) job!

I would like to nominate Javi's Prometo followed by Tango Amore. In that order. Both that Javi's Ina Bauer goes right in front of you, and maybe Plush can shimmy in front of you (if not pick you directly from the audience). This isn't evil, this is just helping the skating gods understand how to fulfill dreams and wishes. *polishes halo* you may thank me later. =P

The evil part is when they threw up LGC and Hope and Legacy together and asked me to choose. I'm sorry, but seriously?! How can I?! Those programs are a set, and I can't see LGC independent of H&L's magnificence. So everything got tied.

Okay....hi there skating gods, please ensure that Plushenko molests KatjaThera- slightly, not too much, because we wouldn't mind seeing her blush, just not fainting though. We would like at least this satellite to be alive till after Worlds. As a satellite, only your kohai, Yuzu, has the right to cause fainting for now.
