For your first question, I'm not so sure.... Pray that there won't be a chain of supersreader events just because some skaters believe they are superhuman. Re: Misha, pretty sure he is joking 😂 But that's a good way to shoo the journalists away when you are not in the mood 🤣 Re: Daniil, I don't even know what to expect. We will need him to show up at any comps first before we can even come to any conclusions. Maybe he will be sent to a Challenger or maybe we will have to wait until the GP? I don't know...

Well, that's a good question. Can we ask the mysterious FS tarots lady to give us some rough ideas? But also, isn't it scary that they struggled just the same the second time around?

So.... - Alexandra Stepanova fell ill with a viral sore throat and high temperature a few days before test skates. - Arina Ushakova has been ill with covid for most of the summer and only began training in August. - Sofia Shevchenko was seriously ill from covid in June and is currently unable to skate the whole program. https://twitter.com/AnythingGOE/status/1437356864094810117?s=20 Team Russia continues to NOT have it easy. Edit: Johnathan Guererrio just had Covid for the second time this summer too. Hoh boy...

Makar usually runs out of steam in the FS. Mark, less so. The kid also needs exposure to the international scene. He might be Team Russia's dark horse from now on, I feel. Of course, not to count out Evgeni Semenenko and Petr Gumenik. Daniil Samsonov too, if he can recover from whatever mysterious medical conditions he has been having for so long now.

Now I'm intrigued! How do I find this Tarot lady and said video? 👀

I love Misha's exquisite skating but that program does nothing for me. If anything, it makes me kinda dislike Luciano's voice. I don't like it when such thoughts occur to me because Luciano Pavarotti is one of my all-time favorites Re: Daria, possibly.

Ksenia said she got it when it was easy enough to get one, so probably not recently? Good for her and Alexandra tho. I wonder how it is going for the rest.

Yeah, but I read that you need to be vaccinated in order to get to Canada and/or 10-day quarantine, and Sputnik is not approved yet by the Canadian gov. But then again, like you said, there is no indication about any bans of sort so who knows. Are they strict about the first two tho? Or sort of relaxed like the Italian?

I don't think he will go back to TCC now TBH. Like you said, he has figured out the balance in training. Plus, travelling back and forth from Canada will turn him and his schedule into a mess, aka the 2019/20 season. He won't make the same mistake again. Boy is good at learning.

Stephanova seems to have recurring back problem for so long now, it's very unfortunate. Daniil tho, the kid has disappeared for so long now, what's Eteri doing? As for the others, injuries seem to be recent. Again, very unfortunate.

So the US has suspended issuing visas to Russians, not just the athletes. The only exception is diplomatic visa. It's likely that Russian athletes can't enter SkAM (except for a few). Will there be any troubles for Russian athletes coming to IDF and SCI?

Dun...dun...dun part 2 @Paskud Any thoughts?

Ok, I think it's safe to leave out Etude or Masquerade (the music). No skaters but Yuzu is dramatic enough for those two 🤣 The costumes, tho, may resurface this year as well. Ten to Chi to, too, it's too galaxy brain for anyone else but Yuzu to pull off 😂 Seimei and Notte Stellata appeared quite a lot in the past couple of years so not sure about this year 😅 As for the rest, I have a hunch they may appear sooner or later. Actually, Mana's Winter has a lot of the wind sounds in Origin so that may count??

I mean, once his floppy, fluffy, cutie boy next door everyday life hairstyle became trendy for the young men and boys in JPN so ... (Don't quote me on this, I read abt this somewhere some times ago already lol)

Eh, I don't think White Legend is exactly a crowd pleasing program but I agree that it can be a risky move for Nam.

He disappears from the surface of the Earth so there is no way to tell LOL, but he has Raf, he has the quads (but mostly he has Raf), so if he can pull out just some IMO he will be in. Also, I saw photos of him floating on Twitter a while ago. Other than the fact that he is a giant now, he looks OK? We will see, we will all see very soon LOL

I mean, Gogo is a senior now and with that many quads he can do, I don't know...

The comparison will definitely be there but I'm sure Nam has his own reasons for choosing White Legend, even if that reason turns out to be a tribute of sort to Yuzu. My concern is White Legend is very different from all the programs he has done so far so it's hard to imagine how it's going to be. Anyway, just wait until the program is out, then we will see.
