So Shane & Carolane missed on the end of their twizzles - she rotated one more time than him 😬 Audience did not like the scores

KanaDai just did a fabulous job! They were practicing that lift so hard on Thursday

I hope everyone's watching....lots of fun in the ice dance programs today!

Honestly all the skating was excellent. The only flaws were the flubbed jumps. I haven't seen such an across-the-board good-at-skating skills group of men in a long time.

I will say this about Roman: he stayed on his feet even when his jumps went wrong, which is an improvement. 2019 Roman would have been on his butt with those. So he's still getting better. Kao's skate was absolute magic. He nailed every detail. And he held the audience's attention riveted throughout. He deserved his high scores. (In case anyone's wondering, I'm at SkAm this weeked. Section 107, row H, seat 4 if satellites want to visit.) If I may dip in pairs for a moment: it was sheer joy to watch both (sweetly drama-free) skates by the Canadians. So nice to see a clean short program from any Canadian team.

GO JUN!!!!!!

...looks like Malinin heard me when I said at Worlds that he needed to grow and mature as a performer. That was a great program.

Say a prayer that we have solid Roman tonight and not flopsky....😬

That was a heartbreaker, but here in the rink the audience was with him Now please cheer young Wesley!

Thanks! I find that Yuzu inspires a little extra-ness when it comes to self-expression, don't you? 🥰

Beautiful but except in the first photo, he loooks like an entirely different person.

With good reason! I can remember when we all would hyperventilate over a tiny flash of collarbone...now look!

Has... has this been poSt-*voice breaks* -tEdeD? Once more, and I quote: !!! *strangled and faint voice* Yuzu what are you wearing 😳 in the first pic...

Good point!

Anyone interested in winning an economy flight to Japan (like for Worlds in Saitama?) Norm at Tokyo Lens is doing a giveaway: Thought it might be of interest to some here...

This made me squeal with joy! Looking good, Jun! Minutes

I'm so proud of Yuzu right now. That is all.

And it's all so pointless ☹️

I only saw this on Twitter today. T*L ghouled its way into my feed with a thumbnail of Samarin in a uniform. Honestly, words can't even begin to express my dismay. Everything about this situation, from the invasion onward, simply should never have happened, and is an abysmal tragedy.

Jun's announced his new programs! He's doing a Michael Jackson SP, and here's a clip of his James Bond-themed FS:

R.I.P. Also, and completely unrelated, just a shout-out to the mods: thanks for having the foresight to set up the forum rules you did. Every now and then, I get reminded of what a good idea those rules are.

Guys please go vote for Opal, because it contains all of Yuzu's costume colours.

Junhwan's such a sassy little cutie!

I can't watch skin care blogger Yuzu without thinking of him wipinng his skate blades and his face with the same towel. This partnership with Sekkisei makes me

Everytime I see Shizuka do something like this and then remember that she's a mom of 3 in her 40s, I think that there must be something magic about Sendai to keep people so youthful. No wonder Yuzu keeps saying he doesn't think he's at his peak yet. Also, Shizuka is amazing.
