That's so inappropriate. I have no words.

The magazine stalking him at midnight is just...* shaking my head *

You can say that again.

Seriously in disbelief that it's that many coaches.

Are you freaking kidding me? what a bunch of *many unprintable words* For starters, Canada is not tabloid gossip immune. If they had got it, it would have made the papers here. And I sincerely doubt they'd be back skating right now.

Even in a bloody pandemic...that sucks so much.

Nah, it was more like...a big confused silence when the scores were announced. Like no one could figure out what they were smoking.

So Google Photos on my phone decided to remind me that this time last year I was seeing this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7n2q7TG3A73wukAT9

Origin 1 makes Yuzu look like a god descended from Mt. Olympus...which I guess was the general idea...and it is hands-down the best costume for him. Origin 2 is more beautiful, but Origin 1 is the perfect balance of grace and power. Of all the Seimeis, I must say I like highlighter Seimei the best. there's a freshness to it with the green that really speaks to me.

Ah, there's a lot of people that would agree with you about Dory ( the blue with yellow one). Personally I think his worst costumes are the ones he wore for Lotte in the gum ads...

good to see them back posting on YouTube

NOOOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOOO!!! I love him! I adore his grit. On the other hand, I'm not surprised. He's in his 30s and got injured last year. Continuing on is probably not going to get good results.

but what they've got so far on the tango looks very promising. It could be that they're thinking to keep this year's programs through the Olympic year, too, so in that case it makes sense to change them now. By the way, Gabby cracked me up with her comment about getting into shape in the early season and the way they wonder how they ever got through a 4 minute program. Very relatable. Marjorie and Zach impressing me with West Side Story...

Gabby and Guillaume about to start! Apparently they're doing a tango today.

Did you catch Jean-Luc and Kaitlyn? Love that lift!

Anyone else checking out the Ice Academy of Montreal Live right now? It's so good to be watching skating again! Hannah Lim and Ye Quan just finished and they were wonderful!

This. This triggers me so much. Maybe as a non-Japanese I have no right to comment but, like, seriously...of all the lame criticisms. The guy does more for Japan in four minutes on the ice than any other civilian they have has done in a year. I have heard from talking to Japanese fans in Kelowna that part of the issue is that Yuzu is from Tohoku, which is apparently looked-down upon in certain circles. As I am not from Japan, I can't comment as to the reality of this at all, so make of it what you will. And just as suggestion, talking about what reasons antis have for being anti, is not really a productive conversation, so should we steer away from it maybe?

So now tell us everything about you: how you first saw Yuzu, what's your favorite jump of his, and whether you like him better with LGC hair ( all slicked back) or Chopin hair (softly framing his face). Inquiring minds want to know. Disclaimer: you are in no way obligated to tell us these things. But share if you want to.

Seriously though, that would be the wisest course of action for us. From the start, the highest number of travel-related cases in Canada were found to be in people who had traveled here from the US, but for any Canadian government official to say so would be a massive tactical error right now. The reality is, even with the border supposedly closed, hundreds of people are still entering Canada every day under things like essential worker status, permanent residency, and student visas, and although they're legally required to quarantine, enforcement isn't stringent enough. If Yuzu has the right kind of visa (no idea whether he does or not), he could be here already, if he wanted. It's my opinion that he simply feels better being at home in Japan during these times, and who could blame him? He'll come back to TCC when the time is right, and not before, guys. Our real challenge right now, it seems, is making sure the COVID prevention message gets through the thick skulls of the 20-somethings. Of the current new infections, 65% and rising of them are in young people who flouted the quarantine rules because they didn't think it could happen to them.

Welcome! And most of us here love most all kinds of figure skating, so have no fear and enjoy your stay!

No, honestly I don't think it will. There are too many other factors to consider.

Hmm. Looks like Skate Canada is finally making some decisions. Guess this mean we'll have word on SCI soon

Conrad and Joseph, side by side 4S-2T? Maybe 4S-3T? Edited: @SitTwizzle beat me to it!

Maybe Yuzu- sensei? Dr. Yuzu?

at least their anti-doping works! (as far as we know). FS has had plenty of scandals but so far doping is not among them, which is more than can be said for many other sports. I seriously can't believe the ISU is even bothering to announce GP assignments now. Didn't they say a month ago that they wouldn't give assignments and skaters were free to go to the closest/local one? WTF.
