You know what, I think that would be crossing a line and going too far...also weird. Like, who goes around evaluating hugs they've received?

Yuzu's hugs all look so warm and sweet.

As far as I know, there's no requirement to announce programs at all, just a rule that the music has to be submitted to competition organizers/the country's fed/ISU in advance? For example, we only found out Yuzu was going back to Ballade and Seimei for 4CC because they showed up in his ISU bio ahead of the competition, right? He meant it to be a surprise. But wow, if he does wait that long, we won't hear anything until mid-November at earliest...I really hope there's some reason for him to get on the ice before that...even if it's just 24-hr TV...don't know if I can handle full-on withdrawal symptoms...

Indeed.

@SitTwizzle God bless your pure heart for trying to put it into the best possible terms, but based on past actions, it's pretty reasonable to assume the whole "Kostornaia plotted this in advance' story is a flat-out lie.

It's not like he does it on purpose. most of the time.. at least I hope not! But I wouldn't put it past him either.

Which is very understandable, and what I'm getting at is that my understanding is, she never actually worked for Tutberidze so how can anyone say she left Eteri for Plush? IS the FS gossip really that crazy?

....but correct me if I'm wrong: I thought Ilyinikh was with some other group entirely, not Tutberidze at all? This "academy of champions" thing?

Well maybe he's learned since then. At least he didn't say that Tarakanova plotted behind his back for months before leaving.

...

we'll be well-shrivelled cacti, indeed. Here's hoping he doesn't wait that long.

ToshI is every fanyu! Just imagine, someone as famous and acclaimed as him and even he feels shy to ask Yuzu for a photo.

Sadly, I fear that may prove correct. Hopefully not though.

Yes, I get the impression that he's a caring kind of guy and I find it hard to picture him kicking his athletes while they're down.

As long as he's not taking himself too seriously, it's magnificent in its own way. Yes, but what I said is probably true anyway.

Cats recognize one of their own!

Everytime I see those HUGE posters of Plush interspersed with the hockey players at his rink, I can't help but grin. All those hockey greats, but only one Plush. @Paskud maybe it's the whole combination of everyone, both at TCC and CSKA? Plus she's also working with TAT right now, come on. It doesn't get better than that.

According to Olympic Channel, someone asked Evgenia on her Instagram if she was planning to leave Brian and train with Plush (too - it was in reference to Trusova's and Kostornaia's moves) and her reply was just marvelous: The 20-year-old was asked in an Instagram comment whether there was any truth to the rumours, to which she gave a definitive response. "Stop this (nonsense)," she wrote back. "I have found my people and my place in life, I don't need to change anything. "And mind your own business, to everyone who hints at sensational news." https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/stories/news/amp/orser-season-plans-medvedeva-dismisses-split/?__twitter_impression=true

So Brian's "I wasn't expecting anything" apparently hasn't translated well into Japanese, because all of a sudden my Twitter is full of tweets from Japanese fans trying to interpret it in a positive light...for the record, in English it's pretty clear that he's saying 'This is how we normally are'.

If he's only doing NHK, he might not announce anything until right before then

All I know is that now my head is full of images of him , when he finally does get back to TCC, getting on the ice, doing a single circuit of the rink, and cracking out a perfect 4A with one of those super extra Hanyu fancy landings (hello high kick), all without a word of warning to anyone. You know he would.

More bad news for Harry & Co: https://www.iceskating.org.uk/post/update-from-british-ice-skating-board-07-08-2020 Looks like British skaters aren't going to get a season at all. The national championships just got cancelled.

I have no doubt of this, and yet... Well, it's not what you picture when you think of a top coach and his top athlete working together, however, if it works for them, we poor fans just have to roll with it.

I love them all, but the Ghana ads are the sweetest and cutest and therefore my favorite. Ghana seems to like playing up his mischievous side, and it's especially fun watching him sneak bits of chocolate in the behind the scenes videos...

This video made me laugh so much...and yet it shows that Shoma does take his skating seriously ...not going to lie, there are times when his behaviour made me wonder. Loved his ' but this is really the new ending' comment.
