She looked tired, but she managed to get that much TES.

Sasha is stellar.

Keep fighting, Sasha!

And now, let's see what happens with the quad sal.

Well done, Alena!

Well done, Anastasia! So happy for her

Let's see if I can get up early enough to see ladies live

Interview with our new Junior World Record holder (in the SP). She's too precious holding the Makkachin.

Watched now. Some of the things I loved:

Anastasia's program seems more difficult compared to what she did earlier in transitions. She was very powerful and earned that personal best

The great relationships between all the coaches and the skaters.

Sofia still singing along.

Alena's Ina Bauer.

Ted gasping when Alexandra did her first jumping pass. You can tell he really wanted to say something. In fact, what even is this girl? She is such an amazing skater and performer. And she's landed clean quads in practice (really hope we get to see one in the FP). Poweful, while so small. That Makkachin looks so big when she's holding it

And all of them were clean. Incredible.

(and I've watched jr ladies instead of senior men...now off to see what I've missed )

Now that Yuzuru and Zhenya aren't here, I would probably watch the Junior Ladies over anything else.

I enjoyed the JGP immensely and was astounded by the talent.

Too bad work and time differences got in the way, but I'm watching now and will be watching the FP.

Wish I could watch this, but have to work
 
The JGP for ladies was of such high quality (often better than seniors) and I can't wait to see who wins. Think it will be Alexandra, as she was consistent and is a technical powerhouse. They'really all great though, and I hope Anastasia does as well as she did in Salzburg.
 
And look at that audience. Wish there could be half as much interest in the other junior grand prix venues, but maybe that's coming. Brisbane filled up its venue nicely (yes, it was small), maybe it can be build from there. 
 
And for the FP we have a quad and triple axel in the programs. What if Anna wasn't injured, it would have been insane.

Looking forward to it 

This is going to be a crazy weekend.

I think Alexandra will win. Anastasia is my favourite and I really hope Sofia will do well too. Actually, I hope all of them do well, and I'd love to see that quad fully rotated.

She did some of that at WTT too:

From this year's Junior Grand Prix:

If you can sing along like that with a program, you're doing something right.

Our fellow Yuzuru fan: Evgenia Medvedeva.

I love the grit, her programs, personality and how hard-working she is.

That said, I love most of the skaters, there's nobody I dislike. Of the Japanese ladies it's probably Wakaba, though I'm very happy with Satoko's return as well. Kaori is rising rapidly in my list of favourites and I've liked Mai since I first saw her.

I wish I was one of those people who found useful things stress-busting. Like running or cleaning. Instead I bake things that are yummy but definitely not good for us, and I drink wine and beer.

 

*sigh*

 

Thought prompted by long overdue cleaning of kitchen cupboards that resulted in three giant bags of long expired things to throw away.

Wine is not always a bad thing

And taking a walk is really good too, especially in a park or forest.

I've watched a few episodes but always felt like I should get back to watching it. Will watch an episode tomorrow and will let you know what I thought.

Is anyone watching Dark on Netflix?

Just rewatched Satoko at Skate America, so happy she is back as a major competitor.

I have just taken up running (my speed is more like jogging) and it really feels so good.

It's also nice how people respond in the park I run at. All smiling and hello's, and this is in a city where people are experts at ignoring each other. Definitely recommended.

Wow, so much amazing art. And that's a nice gift, Pamyu!

Later, yes... but not now, I also work and unfortunately I wouldn't have enough time for a puppy.

I understand. That's the exact reason I don't have pets now

Feature on the Japanese ladies fighting for 2 spots for Olympics. In Japanese. Cue the ugly tears because so many good ladies and only 2 spots. 

Note: Kaori is now in the conversation too, whereas before I think she wasn't mentioned so much. 

 

 

It's interesting indeed. Kaori seems to have pulled ahead of Marin at least.

I'm still really sad about Evgenia

Would we lose all the magazines, CM's and Japanese fluff pieces if he did that?..  If so, then no thanks, I would rather have him stay as disguised space kitty

 

Also, what if his home planet does not have ice shows or forbid fan cams  how will we live without this 

 

ETA: and this is my 1000 post   

 

Congratulations on your 1000 post.

And I wouldn't worry. If there were no more magazines etc, there would be Yuzuru hollograms skating around on your table.
