  1. 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...
  2. Gabby and Guillaume about to start! Apparently they're doing a tango today.
  3. 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!
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Welcome! And most of us here love most all kinds of figure skating, so have no fear and enjoy your stay!
  8. No, honestly I don't think it will. There are too many other factors to consider.
  9. Hmm. Looks like Skate Canada is finally making some decisions. Guess this mean we'll have word on SCI soon
  10. Conrad and Joseph, side by side 4S-2T? Maybe 4S-3T? Edited: @SitTwizzle beat me to it!
  11. Maybe Yuzu- sensei? Dr. Yuzu?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. That's definitely a thing. I distinctly remember thinking 'OMG, he's real! He's really real!" when I first laid eyes on him.
  15. 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.
  16. I answered that Twitter thread. I'm pretty sure half the people who did are satellites as well...
  17. So I guess it's allowed, just not done very often
  18. Maybe? I can't imagine what I'd use it for besides participating in fan projects though
  19. 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.
  20. Yes, but that's not the same as doing a gymnastic move like Rika is doing.
  21. 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.
  22. Are handsprings like that allowed within the rules?
  23. It really looks like Effie ( the cat) is saying 'Mine! MY human! MINE!' in that photo.
  24. The little 'hehe' at the end...❤️❤️❤️
