    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.

    Spoken like a born post-doc. I mean, who knows how far he'll decide to take his education but if he's saying this kind of thing, I certainly can't picture him stopping at just one degree.

    That's definitely a thing. I distinctly remember thinking 'OMG, he's real! He's really real!" when I first laid eyes on him.

    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...
  10. rockstaryuzu
    So I guess it's allowed, just not done very often
  11. 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.
  13. rockstaryuzu
    Yes, but that's not the same as doing a gymnastic move like Rika is doing.
  14. 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.
  15. rockstaryuzu
    Are handsprings like that allowed within the rules?
  16. rockstaryuzu
    It really looks like Effie ( the cat) is saying 'Mine! MY human! MINE!' in that photo.
  17. rockstaryuzu
    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!
  19. rockstaryuzu
    Me too!
  20. rockstaryuzu
    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.
  21. rockstaryuzu
    The look that killed every fanyu in the house in one fell swoop...
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
