    That's definitely a thing. I distinctly remember thinking 'OMG, he's real! He's really real!" when I first laid eyes on him.
  2. rockstaryuzu
    and I envy his coaches who get to see him skate all the time....not gonna lie, if tickets were available for his daily practices at TCC I'd buy them.

    I answered that Twitter thread. I'm pretty sure half the people who did are satellites as well...
  4. rockstaryuzu
    So I guess it's allowed, just not done very often
  5. rockstaryuzu
    Maybe? I can't imagine what I'd use it for besides participating in fan projects though

    I'm not asking about touching ice. I'm asking about gymnastics moves like a cartwheel or a handspring, or for example the banned backflip.
  7. rockstaryuzu
    Yes, but that's not the same as doing a gymnastic move like Rika is doing.
  8. rockstaryuzu
    I saw that SP live twice and I'm pretty sure his hands never touched the ice although the move makes it look like he does.
  9. rockstaryuzu
    Are handsprings like that allowed within the rules?

    It really looks like Effie ( the cat) is saying 'Mine! MY human! MINE!' in that photo.

    The little 'hehe' at the end...❤️❤️❤️

    A man after my own heart, this Solovyev. It's always fun to hear that other skaters see Yuzu the same way we satellites do!
  13. rockstaryuzu
    Me too!

    I grew up watching him...I miss Brian's skating! But I can sees echoes of it in Javi and Yuzu so that's something.

    The look that killed every fanyu in the house in one fell swoop...
  16. rockstaryuzu
    Well, even when he's collapsing off the ice, we haven't seen any sign of them having advance knowledge of it yet, so I'm not sure that's how it's used.
  17. rockstaryuzu
    I'm pretty sure you could see it at the JNats under those gorgeous purple flowers and butterflies

    I wonder a lot about that thing. I'm curious as to why he keeps it on even under his costumes while he's competing. Surely he doesn't have time to react to any information the monitor might tell him while he's in the middle of , say, Origin, or something. It has to be purely for data collection and then they use the info later, but in what way, I wonder. And if it's not a monitor...what could it be?

    Well, when you get down to it, if you don't have a baseline, pre-COVID measurement of a person's heart, you can't really assume the heart was perfect before the virus. I'm saying that, not to discount these findings, which I think are significant, but because abnormalities can arise in heart muscle due to the kind of intense, regular, and long-term exercise that elite athletes put themselves through. You don't even have to be elite - you just have to have pushed yourself a lot over a long period of time and you can experience things like thickened heart muscle and atrial fibrillations. For example, the top competitors in the Vasaloppet, a 95km long ski race, especially the ones who've completed it many years in a row, have been shown to develop a particular kind of a-fib. This means that an athlete's heart should be monitored regularly. It also means that any post-COVID findings need to be judged in context. I personally also think it means the fittest people among us might actually be more vulnerable to the virus than we expected.

    Also, smart child, educating herself about greatness so early in life...

    What the heck are "Midnight Blues"? --> Do they mean 'smouldering with sexual innuendo' blues or 'my whole life is so bad I have to drink myself senseless' blues? Because both are a thing. Maybe someone should tell them so they can *ahem* educate the ISU?
  22. rockstaryuzu
    How? If people can't fly there and the Aussie government has implemented some of the strictest quarantine rules going...sometimes I think the ISU smokes the wacky stuff...

    Same. Ottawa seems to be located right at the confluence of the huge air masses pushing east across the continent and the ones coming up the seaboard from the south, so we get everything. Although we're far enough inland that most of the hurricane-force winds have lost their strength by the time they hit us. We do get the rain and flash flooding though. And we get tornadoes. But mostly we get heavy thunderstorms throughout the summer. Scary because of lightning but a little less destructive. Here's hoping the typhoons lose strength before they hit land for the rest of the season. Japan needs a break :).

    Cracks me up that they used clips from Roman's own YouTube vids...:D

    Gosh what a gorgeous 3A he has.
