I found this thread, but it seems the videos have been removed by Youtube https://www.reddit.com/r/FigureSkating/comments/8411ep/where_can_i_watch_the_press_conference_for_the/

I also think Rika is one of the smartest skaters out there currently. I feel like it's kinda rare to see someone improving season by season in consistency and technical arsenal, instead of (nowadays) sprinting out the door and getting injured/losing consistency in a few years and burning out.She handled her injury well by skipping jumps even tho it made her a tad less competitive than the Russian girls (although I don't believe she should have been less competitive than Trusova at the state she was in last season), and you just know that option isn't available to Eteri's girls if they get injured. Her mental strength is also very impressive; I was especially impressed during GPF FS when it looked like she couldn't get any jumps in during the warm-up and then she landed them all, except the 4S which wasn't ready but she rotated it. It was very Yuzu-esque haha. She has really grown mentally and that is a huge advantage she'll have in the next few years. It's just too bad that you can make a young girl be ultra-competitive and consistent by training them to almost the breaking point. And those who do have a stream of such girls will always have one whose birthday is only a few days after the Olympics cutoff so there's no need to worry about longevity at all.

We just upgraded the software, do you guys still see issues?

Hello everyone! It's that time again (has it already been two years?!), and we need to renew our server. Last time, we went with the second-to-best VPS plan and members found it too slow. So we upgraded to the best VPS plan with Litespeed (an add-on for speed) and it was around $1800 total for two years. This time, we'll try with the best plan without Litespeed and add it if we need it. We were also able to negotiate a discount off their sticker price, so the total cost will come to $1200 for two years. And we are able to pay for it using our donations, so thank you so much Again, let me know if the site appears slow or hard to use in any way! If we need to make things faster, we will look into it! Best, yuzuangel
