Pamigena

weeks of anticipation and discussions about his singing voice and then we only get a different camera angle of him awkwardly holding a flower that would be some Mezamashi-worthy anticlimax if it weren't for that priceless dork smile in the end

I doubt that this would happen at this point. Assignments are due next week, and so far they haven't even announced where the non-CoC GP is going to be. I kinda don't see them having a ticket site ready as soon as they announce the new location.

I thought Nathan wanted to choose his GPs based on his university schedule? Or do I remember that wrong?

Wasn't there something about him getting skin irritation from rubbing alcohol? Spraying his costumes with vodka sounds like a mean thing to do then

It's a tragic case of irony that the Dory costume will forever be associated with the word WOW *stupid lazy acronym habit*

like a big sister watching from the back how her dork baby brother fails over and over again at something simple like putting on a tie until she pulls out the phone to film the tragedy I can so relate

Because nobody in the ISU can look at male ballet dancers without giggling.

If judges can't tell steps before a jump, are we confident they can tell boy from girl? or maybe that's why they needed the Men in Tights Rule, to make their life easier yesIwentthere

So first their electronic voting system goes to shit – again – and people's votes are either counted wrong or not counted at all. And after making sure that everybody is aware that the voting process is about as questionable as it can get, they have people vote on a bundle of changes. While some of them didn't even realize that they were being rushed through a bundle vote? But two days ago they spent like 15 minutes discussing if USB sticks are too futuristic. Ok then. Time for more "coffee"

nah, I'm pretty sure they think all rules in general are "controversial" and should only be followed if convenient. They only have that congress for the coffee breaks.

hahaha, and now Lakernik basically goes "if we put it in the rule book then we'll have to actually follow that rule" I can't

lmao, Norway wants to make a rule that officials shouldn't openly show on social media who they cheer for or post pictures with skaters and stuff. Some guy, paraphrased: we already have addressed this issue in the code of ethics and should just apply the rules Come oooon, get with the program since when is the ISU in the habit of applying their rules? What did they put in that coffee?

If you mean the entire ISU then yes, that explanation makes sense. If you mean only this congress: you wish. Like the ISU could go for something as modern as performance art. The last invention they accepted without a stroke was fire.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/国民栄誉賞 if I understand this correctly, then the next in line was 27 at the age he got the award (Japanese version has more data than the others, but you can switch to English for a translation)

don't say stuff like that

pretty sure what the judges heard was sorry, but you can't do your job properly, we have to split you up and make you concentrate on one thing instead of two things, because you are incapable of doing two things at the same time you incompetent lot

never saw that happening to be honest. judges probably fought tooth and nail against that in every coffee break

I was only listening with one ear, but somebody actually said something like well, USB sticks are all the rage now, but I can guarantee that at the next congress that technology will already be outdated again I'm truly shocked that they publish their communications as PDF files and don't send out engraved stone plates

The ISU and their relationship with modern technology:

If that poor girl doesn't bring results after the whole Orser mess, she's toast. I mean that literally, I think Eteri will stuff her into a toaster and eat her.

you mean the "it's not our intention to limit the maximum number of quads possible in a FS, that's only a consequence of this proposal"? Yeah, that'll be the day when we have to consider the consequences of our actions ridiculous idea, really

One word: boobskirt. Some things just stick. And please cherish the irony that my Doryuzu brain will never forget about a memory loss joke

I'm sorry what? I couldn't hear you because I've suddenly forgotten how to read

he probably figured that this costume would give us all Dory-syndrome and after 10 seconds we'd all just forget that this has ever happened

yeah in theory I know that I sometimes just wish they were a little more subtle about it. But on average the ISU has about as much in common with subtlety as Las Vegas does with an Amish village.
