yep for Medo it's going to be a real battle and honestly from here I always had the feeling Tracy was the one with the real calming effect(especially with all this drama now and what a viper's nest rusfed is ),but I'm pretty sure Yuzuru is always Brian number one priority,hence the globetrotting comment....it seems Brian will go to Japan and then to Siberia. edit : sorry but it's just come up in my Youtube videos and T*l just made a minivideo about Eteri/TAT/Plushenko titled War and Peace...not clicking on it but it made me LOL

this really put in the right perspective all the narrative about elite american universities and how brave are other skaters to move to different coaches doesn't it?

how lovely ....and actually Christians call it 'fare un voto' they ask God for a favor and they are ready to quit something important to them to receive it.

Ignorant me didn't know it but Krasnoyarsk is something like 4000 km from Moscow....that's some globetrotting Mr Orser! But I agree Medo needs all the support she can get(not that Yuzuru doesn't but it's definetly different).

well not to be that person but you're right LOL tho the bottom right one is a beautiful pic,his face is just so expressive and intense!

how scary....fingers crossed that everything will be fine for her!

that's great news rusnat this year will be so amazing!

he's the cutest honestly!

how sad this is really,I've always tried to keep a clear head about Eteri and her method mainly because I'm here and not there with them everyday but it's harder and harder to do so. it looks like everyday more like a chain factory and it's not fair for all these girls.,and as slong as she has this kind of results nobody will put a stop to it. Ah well Alina have a good life child,you still have an OGM in your pocket!

thank you both....can't wait !

indeed....i'm listening to see how accurate the tranlsation is but yep it's america-inflated score...if Nathan or Alysa were of Mexican/Italian /whatever origins it would have been the same.

aahah These two Also the beauty of that open air icerink!

I'm sure they'll post the translation,they usually do...listening to it . Max just said Nathan won and it's fine but of course GOE are nonsense ....basically what we have been saying since last weekend. He laso agrees about Kamila and Alysa...this is a the bit about it....keep an eye on this account for translation. not sure what having Chinese ancestors got to do with it frankly.

I'm sorry but as far as I know there's no evidence it was a fanyu....that was somebody on twitter claiming it. LOL I love his body language in this....clearly teasing Ghislain LOL yes that's what he said,he said also he has no doubt Yuzuru is way better then Nathan in things like SS and TR...PCS are not correctly scored. mmmmm can we trust what it's been reported here?how do we know words aren't twisted?just the titlle of it it's ridicolous "Troubles in Paradise"??LOL And what if yuzuru had won?They'd write Brian off because clearly he doesn't need his coach anylonger?

I had a moment of glory for IDF it seems LOL thank you for doing this,it was really fun!

and it makes you wonder what he could have done if he had run that for more times! and Amen to every single words you wrote! but they make you wonder if they do tho as other have said -Torino is a rather small town(small compared to huge metropolis ,for our italian standard town it's not of course LOL),not many flights connect it to out of Europe countries really....the other option is Milan ,pretty heavy international air traffic airport and then it's about 1h 30 min by car ,which someone like Yuzu can rent(us we take the train...but I wouldn't wish the absolute nightmare of our train rides to my worst enemy) About the Russian ban,it's said really....it's true if you do ban,you do that and do't try to make the ban irrelevant by allowing those people to take part...on the other side doping is a world problem(not just in Russia)but also there are many who didn't do a thing and pay the price.

You are so right @Umebachi,he's amazing at turning a bad situation into a better one and into a learning experience....I wonder if he's able to apply that to his own life and not just competitions moments like this weekend.

happy birthday amazing boy,may you get everything you wish for

So @river is our own Eteri girl Submitting the form now,let's see how it goes!

Really?I thought he was wearing sking colored gloves But then i was a tad distracted during LGC

I honestly cannot think of a gloveless Yuzuru(apart when he had to rights gloves and he was already at the rink and couldn't fix the thing and behaved like the brat he is LOL)during competitions but my memory is what it is ;-P

what I really loved about Origin 1.0 was indeed that darkish/more mature/more grown up aurea it had....also it really looked like a piece of hot coal with fire still burning under the surface. Orign 2.0 is completely different ,I love the color(don't rember who said it in the posts before but Yuzuru looks better in dark tones) and ,even if there's a lots of stuff going on,it still has a sense of wholeness....if i really could change something it would probably be the oval shaped cut....he looks way better with v shaped ones. I wasn't crazy about Otonal 1.0 and I'm not crazy about the new one either,especially for all those ruffles around his neck. I still have a deep love for Etude(now Yuzuru see,darker shades of blue looks better with your skin tones) and H&L and of course Masquerade. Requiem shades of green may not have been ideal but the cut was great,it gave him shoulders that he didn't really had that time.

hi and welcome ! i still have to vote but it keeps crashingfor me! Also this,which screams renaissance painting to me and with the 3 of them with priceless faces

Max Ambesi was talking about it during one of his podcast....lots of number 1 anyhow....and i'll shut up now for fear of jinxing it Off to happily roll in that OIP video instead
