omg LOL where did you get this image? we need it as an emoji

I bugged @gladi to death so she was a sweetie who found it and translated it for me in the end: So actually it is primarily "Art on Ice" and then a little bit of "Magic Stradivarius". I listened to AoI again and well, it will be different, now won't it. There are some bits I quite like from the original that will go poof now, and some bits I dislike, that will also go poof so I am really curious, even more than before, what the final product is like.

Brian looks like he lost weight/?? XD

Probably personal preference and maybe superstition? The way blades are sharpened is as important to a skater as their boots...so they probably don't trust a new person to do it the same way (I've also heard other skaters say that they would never change the person who sharpens their boots.)

Yeah, tbh I had no idea why Gracie went straight to Zoueva after splitting with Frank, that was the last place she should have gone

Awesome! I'm glad you tried skating and enjoyed it show us your program when it happens!

oh....

This is sped up lol i think, and that's still really tight! Tie your skates tight!!

It was me, I accidentally disabled the forum :3

indeed

I agree, I don't think that's taboo at all. But the Yuna-Mao rivalry is something else altogether and I think that's more of a fandom thing than a political thing, if that makes sense. I heard somewhere that Wakaba still gets some criticism from Mao fans for saying that Yuna was her idol growing up, too. But I think it's more of a clash of fandoms type of thing where the political subtext is just a convenient excuse.

I heard it's because of the Yuna vs. Mao rivalry and the cultural rivalry between Japan and Korea. It's taboo for Yuzu to say that he likes Yuna now even though recently David Wilson revealed this in an interview.

Welcome!!!

i watched a few programs from alena kostornaia bc everyone always says such good things about her i think she is definitely special but i find her a bit stiff? her musicality and SS are definitely her strengths compared to her peers, but her jumps are not the most beautiful, IMO. As for Yuzu, does he mean that he watches the junior men? He definitely did that leading up to Pyeongchang because he knew the upcoming juniors were going to be his main competitors, and they were. I'd wager he doesn't watch the junior ladies, though.

do you have a gif of it already?

please do worlds

Worlds?

Actually, there was just an update. Can you see if it still is broken? Otherwise, I will file a bug report...

Yeah I'm sure he would be fine swimming, especially with his athleticism... but people with low body fat just have a more difficult time starting out, especially if they're already grown up and don't know how to swim at all! Didn't he say that he was allergic to chlorine which is why he doesn't swim anyway? I like swimming but I don't find it similar to gliding on ice at all xD it feels like there's a lot more resistance LOL

Tbf people with very little body fat find it hard to swim

Will do an upgrade today Sept 2 at noon, PST (in 5 hours and 8 minutes), thanks

Nooo please don't say impossible
