TBH, not to defend JSF or anything but a lot of people seem to jump to the conclusion about JSF not planning to send its senior skaters to challengers or other international comps way too early. Let's leave all the complaints or whatever until the season is over. Those who do not go to the Olys might as well get comps elsewhere, we just don't know that. JSF sucks big time with their weirdo politics and blowing up their juniors' seasons, tho, that I can give you.

Not the greatest first international outing for the season. For her own sake, I hope that this is only the first pancake (which is understandable, given how close the test skate and US Classic were, plus, she really drilled the jumps during practice). If it is not and this is an indication of what's to come, I hope she will rethink her jump layout and training regime. For comparison, she was only a couple of points ahead of the silver medalist, Yeonjeong Park from Korea, who did not attempt any quads or 3As at all but was clean and stunning.

Yeonjeong Park's stunning performances at the US Classic.

Jimmy MA (USA) FP: Attack on Titan OST This is from Cranberry Cup but anyway. I'm hyped that someone finally uses Hiroyuki Sawano's music in FS. His soundtracks always slap and the Attack on Titan OST is a great example of that. Dunno the singer behind the vocal part but that sounds like Kokia (double slap!!!!).

I want Mana to have that spot so badly...

Here I am, complaining about needing distraction. Voila! New contents! Maybe I should complain more? 😂

Oh sure. But it is fun to read nonetheless. Besides, curiosity kills the cat. I can't help it when people just vaguely mention it and leave it there. Guilty as charged LoL.

B/K's SP was co-choreo'ed by Ksenia Stolbova, Dmitri Pimanov and Edward Smirnov. https://fs-gossips.com/boikova-and-kozlovskii-apparently-we-are-really-top-level-pair-after-the-bronze-at-worlds-no-one-congratulated-us-everyone-said-what-a-pity/

Everyone, please, this is off topic but I need distraction since there is no news about Yuzu nor comps with Yuzu ATM. How do I find the tarots lady that people have been talking about? The one who predicted an excellent year ahead for Yuzu and has made accurate readings in the past? (This is one person right???)

Speaking of recycling...

That might give us a rough idea. Again, the problem is that China is flexible in terms of Covid prevention. Who knows, they might cancel the Asian Trophy and pull another Tokyo on Beijing if it gets too bad. China might not want to be as lenient as Japan when it comes to things like this.

Say, if the US gets the slot,... 4CC is just some weeks away from the Olys. If China doesn't loosen up the quarantine requirements by then, that might as well be a disaster, if not Mission Impossible schedule-wise, unless the 4CC team is completely different from the Olys team.

Unpopular opinion but I don't like his Nureyev FS. However, I love his Carmen. That has got to be one of the best Carmen numbers I have ever seen, so if anything, I wish he would bring that back. Maybe a Nureyev SP + Carmen FS? That would be my dream combo for Mikhail. PS: Nureyev SP just so that Benoit can realize how much he SUCKS. May be...
