IULIANA

Actually, the history Yuzuru made is so rich that is so hard to keep track! The guys in charge with making the bio descriptions are not familiarized with so many accomplishments! You realise this is a joke, I am SO not going to cut them any slack, believe me!

Hi, Meoima! I missed you!

Then let him be well deservedly second, as he should.

Oh, come on, stop crying on Chen`s shoulder, guys! He is not some slave who has no saying in the doings of the people arround him! He likes it because he accepts it, that`s all! He is a fully grown up not some teen at the mercy of his tutors! He accepted the aggressive PR game pre-Oly and he refused to be present at the gala, remember? So, they deserve each other, ISU and his fave, there, they are in it together! I know, we have to behave, to be polite, but it seems that class act is for some just a sign of stupidity. Ok, we will behave, but are not going to kid ourselves.

You and me both!

It`s kind of apples and oranges, no offense.

I think we agree to disagree. Tuktyk`s jump technique is totally different from Med`s. Just think of the Lutzes of these two and you have the picture. The only quad sal Med is going to have is the one she draws on insta. But again maybe I am too harsh and have no hope for her evolution the way some people thought to be. And yes, a quad , a good fully rotated, with minimum pr quad is worth, the field now is challenging for real. The only other story is the judging. And politicking, of course.

As usual, she seeks attention.

Aha, so... no comment then. The Cryptid is still in ninja mode. Good for him!

What Brian`s comment?

The new big name was brought up after the Trusova move iirc, but I wouldn`t bet on my memory or the exactity of the time frame in the process.

Still nothing about the other big name Plush mentioned to come up. The plot is thickening...

If one of the conditions to be a mutant is to understand a novel or a movie of Alain Robbe-Grillet, then maybe Alain Robbe-Grillet is a mutant himself! Surviving through the reading of Les Gommes should be the ultimate test! So sorry, this was a mean joke, nothing against le nouveau roman!

I see them too! It`s nice thou, it seems to have a life of its own, and with a feel of celebratory touch! Ok, now it`s gone...

I am no fs expert but was it slightly PR, heavily UR, two footed landed an blade assisted on top of that? Just saying...

Yes, most definitely they ARE different, I was just trying in may way of seeing things to underline how noble and caring and honest this man really is and how rare of a breed he is too. I used a kind of striking comparaison for a better focus, that`s all.

It`s Med, travelling through Japan the whole time, making choreo movements in park during the lockdown, scloding on her sns people who warned her about such behaviour, posting on insta her bar stops, nail salon visits and pretending the show organisers she was supposed to be part of invited her, making them to have a public statetment that they didnt a.s.o. Check her sns and her enthousiastic fans and see for yourself. Even Ari Zacharian had to take a stand and asure people that she had no ice to train in Japan, and TAT saying that yes she had and she kept training eventhough the japanese skaters wee not, due to the emergency sitation. Such a mess...

Hmm, and when thinking of others who didnt give a damn to the rules and routed Japan in so called search of ice (not meationing any names, everybody knows who), now everyone can see the difference and why Yuzuru is such a highly respected person, not only for his professional abilities, but because of his noble and upright character.

In photo 2 and 3 he wears training gear underneth the jacket, the one with high collar. If that could tell us anything...

Actually, this is how this sport goes at least right now. In French, such testimony is called act manque, when you say the truth unintentionally.

Aaaand licking ice, of course, how could i forget that?

Well, he does it repeatedly, it`s a habit, like lying on the bare factory floor in full competition costume, or stepping on the yoga mat during backstage warmup.... There was even a Hanyu hygiene discipline discussion on sns resulting from the above.

Of course, there must be a SERIOUS reason to leave your life time coach and change your life. It remains to be determined what is the meaning of `serious`for Med. Tuktik and a lot of people would be surprised. It is just my opinion. And taking sides against Tutberidze should be a must for Mishin`s camp for all I know. Again, my opinion too.

You are absolutely right! It was in combination, my memory played tricks to me. Thanks for the correction. Anyway, quite gutsy and clever for Alysa to go for that strategy. This shows the way some people try to explore all the options available. I almost was dissapointed that my fave 3A ladies (read Rika) did not think of it first.

Alysa Liu (or her coach) did something similar - a 3A as a solo triple and a 2A as the axel jump in the short. It was unusual but legit.
