It's probably just some tech-unsavvy volunteer who made a mistake updating the pages. Someone who can't be bothered to proofread. Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

Definitely better commitment to the hip thrusting than the bum-wiggling. I think Yuzu would have a ton of fun playing a mascot character though. Especially if he was doing it for a rink full of kids or something.

The cuteness of that would truly kill us all. I want to see it!!

Thank you! You know, I know it's easy for us to diss T-shirt and jeans skating costumes when other skaters wear them....but Yuzu just looks SO. DARN. GOOD! In them.... It's really not fair...I'm dead again over here.

Wow, another few pounds and he'll be looking the way he did at the Calgary 88 Games.

So, all the Latvian skaters, including Deniss, withdrew from ACI. This put its status as a Challenger series competition in danger, apparently, because they need a minimum of 8 skaters from 4 different countries for that. Frick COVID. That's all I can say.

So apparently the ACI list of entries is out and Yuzu's not on it. It's what I expected but it still hurts...

This is just cute. Yuzu looks like an anime character again with the way he's nibbling on the rice ball.

Why would anyone....?

Twitter's been having a field day shutting down BTS fan accounts for DCMA violations if they use clips of the music or other copyright material, so maybe that's it? I think you mostly post links to YouTube though. Edited: Oops, Never Mind! I read the rest of the thread. Glad that Twitter is being reasonable with you.

Definitely not, if it's RusFed.

Yuzu new SP speculation: what if he brought back Sing Sing Sing, only revamped to match his current skill level, and made it into a real razzle-dazzler? Not only would he be coming full circle on his career but he'd be trolling all the people who slag him for recycling with a massive flex.

I don't know. Pairs is a whole different ballgame. There's more to it than just being a really good singles skater and finding a guy to toss you around the ice. I think Evgenia would have to change her personality to some degree, to be successful in pairs. the irony of all this is, if she were with any other fed than Rusfed, she wouldn't even have to sit out - the country would be falling all over itself to help her through whatever she needed. Just goes to show how Russia has an embarrassment of riches in ladies. To be honest with you though, I think she got some really really bad advice last year about what to do after Worlds was canceled and in the long run it cost her everything. had she hunkered down in Toronto, I think she'd still be in contention, even with all the interruptions in training due to lockdowns etc. I mean, look at how Jason has prospered. Also, I'm not going to count her out until she counts herself out. Someone as determined as her to win? if there's a way, she's got the will.

Keegan SP at the BC Summer Skate. Definitely an early season skate.

So that's how White Wall-kun does it - just gets behind anything...

I feel like she's referring to Russian ladies when she talks about 'quads at 15' at the end, but she is right.

Everybody knows it's Yuzu. The ones who say otherwise are in denial and pretending.

I'm thinking the same. However, now that the Summer Games are in full swing, it seems much more likely that the Winter Games will go forward some way or other.

Hmm. So basically all the top teams will be at a disadvantage in the individual men's short.

I'm wondering if the intention is to force countries to put different skaters in the team event vs the individual? Otherwise, it's not very favorable for anyone in medal contention. Like, Boyang would also be affected by this. On the other hand, for a country like Canada (or Japan) that has way more contenders than qualifying spots, being able to put an extra guy in for the team event would work out nicely. I haven't checked what the rules are for the team entry, so if I'm off-base on this let me know...

He knows he's doing one, but Skate Canada decides which one they'll send him to. And that hasn't been decided yet.

So, what does everyone think of Keiji and Satoko trying out a bit of pairs for The Ice, doing R&J? It kind of highlights how few Japanese pair skaters there are, but I also think they look nice together.

It is, however, extremely remarkable that even the government-run Chinese state TV praise Yuzu and not only that, they praise him to the skies. It points to just how incredibly special Yuzu himself is.
