I do too. Even before this season there was the talk he needed more comps, hence the 4CC with his second silver, not just that it was at PC so knock on wood, if he's fit, I think there's a high chance he'll go.

Haven't been around all day and first thing I see is that. I wish them both well. It has been pretty clear Gabby has been struggling so good on her, and good luck!

Sounds neat! I'll take it. But heck tbh you can name it whatever you want if I could get that video

If we're going that far, we should settle for nothing less than a proper video.

Yay, I cannot wait to be a spectacular fail again. It was so much fun last season I'll get on it this weekend, when my head is at least half-functional.

Yes, she is, I just forgot to put her in red too, mostly because it's just my own calculations and officially, only the Pairs have been announced so sometimes I bork

Yay, it's back! You should totally join us everyone. There is something absolutely glorious when you know you all suck at the same thing, so, so spectacularly. And it is so much fun. Seriously, it doesn't matter if you think you don't know that much about say ID or Pairs, just guess. Chances are, you'll do better than actually trying

Like this:

They should try and pair skate. Kaori can totally throw and lift him.

*pats* There, there, we promise not to take away your membership card. Have some cheesecake with me.

But garbage pants! Now if someone were to put him in real leather ... mmm, I have no objections. Even the zen would be slightly shaken.

Why go and mention garbage pants? Garbage pants should not be mentioned in this house! *taps foot*

@Joey is working on the whole thing, so I'm sure we'll start soon-ish!

I appreciate he wasn't paying too much attention until the end so that we got to see cave boy Who is looking very, very nice...

Ooooh. I should order that, great find!

But that is our secret weapon! We only use that when things get really dodgy! @4Nessie May the Zen be with you child!

It's true and in re to Satoko, though this is just my personal observation, some of her jumps looked slightly better (bigger) during the challenger to me so it's a real shame she probably cannot switch fully as if so, she may be capable of it if she were to switch permanently. Ah well, if wishes were horses and all...

Tea. Zen. Ommm.

To put it mildly Kuyashii Zu is a scary Zu.

For sure. After all we have seen URs from Artur in practice. If he was landing a rotated one at least once in a while someone would be lurking with a camera to catch it. Mishin's an old fox but IMO at least he over-hypes sometimes and then it ends in tears. @Sammie that's a kid who is 13, whose jumps are not that big so I think what that post means is this is how we start on the road to 4A - with Axels with less rotation/pops first. Polina in general seems to be pretty safety inclined. I hope at least.

URs will be the true issue I'd say. I have no doubt that any jump by Yuzuru will be scrutinized under a microscope to make sure it is fully valid. Which I don't mind of course, I just hope they're equally picky about attempts of others and the one thing that might force them to do so at least somewhat is that everyone will analyze the jump once it is called valid. So they might have a care. Or not, who knows with ISU tbh. We can only cross everything. PR is that thing currently floating somewhere in some other galaxy and totally alien to any and all TPs and judges.
