Yeah we can make a banner! Not sure if we'll get enough messages for an entire book, but certainly we can try (with the caveat that we need enough messages to fill a book...lol...would be sad if it was a very blank book ) A small amount of fanart would be awesome, too, but it shouldn't be just yuzu fanart. As for the starbucks giftcards, are there starbucks in toronto? I thought tim hortons was like, the starbucks of Canada haha? We could get 10-20 $10 giftcards, just to make the point that the gift is for the whole team, bc god knows how many people are involved in creating champions. my friend in toronto also suggested the Toronto Zoo and Ontario Science Centre, which he said was fun not just for kids for for adults too, but for people who live in Toronto they may have already been (but maybe someone hasn't?) And I think we could definitely do miscellaneous food items, like cheese! Although it'd have to be factory wrapped because (1) it needs to be mailed, and (2) who wants to eat it otherwise?? Haha

Haha agree with all points, although I'm not sure if movie voucher works either, but...something that can be passed around would certainly be nice! Coffee giftcards? Tim Hortons? XD What do people use that comes in small, shareable increments, not weird, and would brighten someone's lives?

Oh, why am I not surprised that TCC has a spa? Canadian ice wine is delicious, although Brian lives in Toronto so I'm sure he has tasted his share, but there's no harm in more wine, right? As for the spa giftcard, the reason I thought of that was when I tried to think of things that Team TCC needs, the first thing that popped into my head was something relaxing . But instead of a spa, hm who knows, a voucher for a hotel getaway? Something they can use on vacation? XD

aww i want fanyus should sell their wares, they are all so talented haha too bad they'll probably be attacked for doing so...

I think we should really do this ^_^ because the way that TCC treated and protected Yuzu this season was really above and beyond, and the results showed. Brian, Tracey, Ghislain, and the rest of TCC staff really put their heart and soul into their skaters' health, happiness, and success, not just for medals. I think we should do something simple: - Ice wine? - Spa gift cards for spas in Toronto? We can use Yelp, or if anyone lives in Toronto can make some recommendations ^_^ - A thank you banner, not a huge one, but something simple that can be hung up in an office? Maybe with messages from lots of Yuzu fans?

This is such a sweet idea, and professionally produced Looking forward to the next episode!

thank you!!

Does anyone have a link to the full video of this commentary? :3

Thank you for this perspective! I had no idea he was doing this professionally. I hope he is successful in his career whether that's impersonating Yuzu or not (but to be fair he doesn't look much like Yuzu so maybe he can try something else...)

Yeah but i don't blame her. People don't act rationally and selflessly when they are scared and I wouldn't be surprised if she had reason to be scared. After all, she is as we are constantly told the first top Russian skater to be training with a foreign coach...

Wow I cringed so hard too...I'm loving Alina's reaction, LOL I mean, this guy could've tried to be a little bit more accurate at copying Yuzu, but he just flailed around like an idiot it almost looked disrespectful?

checking my outside 3turns is much harder than the insides

oh, WHAT LOL what type of people does she hang out with

Is that a kanako impersonator? bc she actually looks like kanako!

same, and i love food lol *picks up after-lunch snack of fudge, spicy fries, and yuzu iced tea*

Lol...forward outside 3turns on a line are literally the hardest thing ever they're way harder than forward inside 3turns on a line even though inside 3 turns are harder than outside 3 turns..??

Is this something that can be throw onto the ice?

OMG "harder" "softer" lmao maybe i should buy it...i'm always hungry

rice cookers are hard to use

Making rice is hard........

nice single lutz

Yeah, she literally won everything. Imagine a skater who places 5th in every competition!

Yeah I don't think Eteri didn't know, and I think she was lying (at least a bit) on TV. But I can understand if Zhenya didn't tell her directly, or told her only after the plans were made, which she may have felt was very disrespectful. But it was for good reason, as we can probably surmise.

Honestly I think there's nothing she can do to explain her situation. Any explaining would be nitpicked by people who want to judge her and sometimes there's literally no way to make people understand if they were not there. To be fair I wouldn't be surprised if Zhenya did not let Eteri know she was leaving. Eteri seems spiteful and with her influence could do anything in her power to stop Zhenya from leaving so it was best for Zhenya to keep her out of the loop as much as possible. Zhenya probably observed this with Eteri's other students who came and left before her. How do you begin to explain this type of dynamic to an outsider? You can't, so you just don't. Maybe Eteri was right to feel slighted but probably only because she is not bothering to understand Zhenya's point of view right now.

Same, it was noticeable. And you know the judges made sure to ding him for it in PCS, but no matter anymore...
