  1. Yeah I know that. What I want to know is why it was suddenly decided to make it the final opportunity to qualify for Olympics when it's six months away and there's a whole GP season in between
  2. Nebelhorn? Why so far out (early Sept to qualify for a Feb competition)? makes no sense. Also, way to crowd a small mountain village in September....:(
  3. So does anyone want to play the 'let's speculate about Yuzu's new costumes" game? TBH, I'm half-expecting him to not have all new costumes. I can't imagine he'd have felt comfortable going around to Satomi Ito's studio to get a costume fitted during lockdown/pandemic restrictions. I mean, this may...just may...be the year when Yuzu takes his 'honourary Canadian' status seriously and shows up in the Canadian men's team uniform of grey sweater and black trousers basically pulled from the back of his closet
  4. He's sincere in his admiration, anyway. I wonder how many extra hours of practice he's put in, trying to emulate Yuzu? Because it really looks like he worked hard.
  5. To me, this sounds like a reputational assessment, not based on reality. As was seen at SCI'19, when Yuzu has judges who are prepared to actually LOOK at what he's doing on the ice, instead of ASSUME THEY KNOW what he's doing on the ice, he gets scored correctly with high technical score. I personally think the overarching issue in figure skating judging is that a skater's early reputation follows them around and leads to judges making up their minds what score they're going to give, long before they ever see the performance.
  6. I love this!
  7. at this rate, Worlds can't be far behind. Someone posted an article on Twitter saying the rink set to host Europeans just got converted into a COVID morgue...eesh. I'm about done with this pandemic.
  8. at least Patrick got his at an internationally ratified event...not just from home crowd judges.
  9. You can say that again. Just from observing her, I feel like she's been getting bad advice all year.
  10. Didn't RusFed put out a statement about that? Zhenya was paying her own expenses in Canada out of her endorsement deals etc.
  11. Makes more sense than the SafeSport 'investigation'. I never expected that to go anywhere.
  12. To be fair, we don't know if her initial decision to leave for Japan was as wrong as it seemed, because we don't know what factored into her making that choice. But in hindsight, yeah. On the other hand, it's not like Toronto was/is COVID-free. She could have stayed right there and still got injured, still got sick, etc. There's no point in second-guessing.
  13. I hope she makes a full recovery. So many reports are coming out now of people who take months to get better...at least she's able to skate. Hindsight is 20-20 and she may not have had the option, but I wonder if she would have been better off staying in Toronto...:(
  14. considering there's at least one in Antarctica that I know of, I wouldn't be surprised.
  15. Thanks so much for sharing these! I hope you win the lotto with your Yuzu luck :).
  16. If there are fanyus in Tahiti, hats off to them!
  17. Not sure where to post this but David Wilson gave an interview to That Figure Skating Show. He talks about Yuna and Yuzu:
  18. Isn't that just proof of the man's greatness? Not every hero inspires people to be happy and eat cake. Speaking of, I had a slice of fruitcake in his honour just now - the first fruitcake of the Christmas season, for me.
  19. "He will create the performances which will light up the world brightly." This is my favorite thing I've seen anyone say about Yuzu, to date. Love it.
  20. If Yuzu sees that, how much do you wanna bet he'll try doing it in real life?
  21. I had to work today, so missed the streaming party, but I'm loving all the fanart that people are posting! Happy Birthday, Yuzu, and here's my own contribution to the general festivites: my blurry opening shot of PW at the gala at SCI '19: (You won Skate Canada! You won Skate Canada! That was such a great thing to witness) You made my week that day, I hope we satellites can add to your joy today.
  22. Oh my goodness, talk about a rollercoaster of emotions. That must have been so painful. Following Yuzu sure gives your nerves a workout.
