So we have miss Kostornaya, miss Shcherbakova, miss Trusova, miss Valieva, miss Usacheva, miss Khromykh and potentially miss Tursynbaeva with miss Medvedeva. And in 2018 Eteri camp wasn't able to manage safely even 2 girls.🤩

I will sooner believe that Eteri simply realised that Berestovskaya's "4t" is hopeless and rejected her. OTOH Plush will take whoever now to stay relevant. And here I wondered why new quad girl wasn't invited to any of the Eteri show stops.

Beware, because that's not the end of the fun! Now Berestovskaya is going to Plush. https://www.instagram.com/p/COVGRYzqb90/

Why do I feel like.... implementing AI in scoring is easier to say than to do? Imagine collecting database for this AI. Imagine the drama when skater x isn't invited to collect data about correct technique. Imagine convincing figure skating community (skaters, coaches,...) that database with these and no other skaters isn't biased. Imagine convincing ISU that AI marking as incorrect jumps of you-know-which-skaters is a good one.

I feel in my belly that one of top skaters/teams will have absolutely horrible Titanic program next season and I simply can't wait.

I don't have weibo account either. I'm not even in China. Weibo is a total mistery to me, but I learned already that it's easier to open links to user accounts than their posts, but also if something doesn't want open to you, if you try to refresh it few times (sometimes on new tabs), then it should open to you at some point.

So here you can find scans from NUMBER magazine (so in Japanese), including new interwiew with Brian, interview with Shunji Iwai (author of Hana wa Saku lyrics) and some pretty pics. https://m.weibo.cn/u/7037447188 https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4628703068032459 https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4628715357079700 https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4628718209730771 This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].
