I'm actually not so keen on the darker blue, but I cast my vote for more and brighter sparrows and flowers.

Good work! Also, ever since Yuzu started training so focused on 4A, all his other jumps got way better and he executes them with ease. It really stuck out to me this year. Maybe Yuzu has discovered the true secret to jump supremacy: overkill. Shoot for 4A and everything else becomes a piece of cake.

Welcome!

So, for all intents and purposes, they'll either be limiting events to Chinese athletes only, or else conducting them in a super tight bubble, at least for now. I keep having this feeling that Beijing ain't gonna happen, and all this travel restrictions stuff does nor improve my confidence

Oh wow, I didn't even realize! Thanks!

....the thing is, it's not readily available outside China at the moment. I think this is in truth a way of saying they don't want anyone coming in, without actually saying they're closed for the time being. But whether they'll apply that to international athletes is another question

I read that China is only allĺowing entry to travellers who have been vaxxed with Sinopharm.

I think it's a match up, though - the top two skaters get to state their preference and will get it if the fed agrees, every one else gets assigned

Why does Nathan always pick two early ones? It just means he's got six weeks of cooling his jets before GPF. Hard to stay competition ready that long, really. Edited: Nevermind, I see I got the order of the competitions wrong 😅.

Is he likely to be assigned to SCI though? Don't forget he was world bronze medalist this year. Idk know if that makes a difference but it does mean he's assigned after Nathan and Yuma get their choices, right? So it might end up being IdF, no? I mean, that's assuming Nathan does what we all expect from him and picks SkAm. Then it's just a question of where Yuma thinks he'd be better off. I don't think he's done many competitions in North America but he's used to Europe. Also, he might choose based on where he thinks he'd be more likely to win. IdF usually has a weak field and that might be a strategically wise choice for Yuma right now. But if he doesn't go for that, then Yuzu will be left with IdF, I believe. Then it's CoR, CoC and NHK. Both Yuzu and Yuma would benefit from NHK. Nathan gets first pick though. IMO Nathan will go for CoR, but you never know. Assuming Yuma takes NHK, Yuzu gets CoC. If Nathan decides to pick NHK, then all bets are off. Yuzu would probably love to get CoR, but I think Yuma would be more likely to choose it. So, assuming travel restrictions are no longer an issue, the most likely assignments for Yuzu, in my estimation, are IdF and CoC/CoR. If everything remains pandemic borked though, nobody's going nowhere.

Where's Cup of China this year? If it's being held at the Olympic rink for Beijing, then I can't see Yuzu not wanting to go there. Just to get a feel for it.

Well, at the moment there's plans to loosen travel restrictions for fully vaccinated Canadians returning to the country, and that will probably happen at the end of July, but no more news beyond that. It's very much a play it by ear situation...if case counts go down and stay down, maybe things will move.

Nope. So much depends on COVID travel restrictions

What a fantastic description of the Planet!

I just want to say that I'm so proud of Yuzu for choosing to lend his support to the Paralympics in this way.

And boy, did he ever spill on the video game! He was giving a super detailed strategy rundown. So now we know: if we want to understand Yuzu's inner secrets, we have to be gamers.

I know, right? I was so excited to hear that he was checking out their dance moves...a little "Butter" would definitely make LMEY sizzle even more!

No, based on Kepler's Law of Universal Gravitation you are entirely correct. Objects in space are attracted to each other by a force directly proportional to their mass, and since Yuzu is the most massive thing to happen in skating in the last 20 years, obviously we are sucked into orbit.

Don't do it! Trust me, Twitter will sour you on all humanity except for Yuzu.

Guys, don't forget that it's not just about audience size at ACI, but also travel restrictions etc. The way things are looking at the moment, only fully vaccinated travelers are going to be allowed unrestricted entry to Canada. If you're anxious to go to ACI, get vaccinated ASAP. I still don't think things will change for ACI and I don't expect tickets for it to be sold. However, SCI is looking like a reasonable prospect. Again, it all hinges on vaccination rates, so get that jab already.

Ikr. Just about makes me despair

Well done!

Happy to help ☺

Meant to delete this...sorry Like Yuzu, you just need that last 1/8 of a rotation. You know he'd say "Ganbare!" to you if he saw this story.
