    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.

    At least it sounds like Plush cares.
  10. rockstaryuzu
    Hmm. My brain is whirling with all the possible implications. I do know that in the very first photo posted of her after her move to Plush, her eyes look puffy and swollen beneath, just like she'd been crying the night before.
  11. rockstaryuzu
    Right. So... USFed not to be outdone by RusFed I guess. I don't know whether to facepalm or admire their optimism...
  12. rockstaryuzu
    I thought Europe had banned any US-originating flights, but I don't know about Russia.
  13. rockstaryuzu
    Well Harry's right. Football is far more risky in terms of what you can catch than skating.
  14. rockstaryuzu
    Oh, really? That might go poorly for them, if they can't get to Russia in time and if Skate America gets cancelled. I like them a lot, so I hope they'll be able to compete somehow.
  15. rockstaryuzu
    Rusfed always has to be so extra - they're basically creating a domestic GP series here. On the other hand, they have so many great athletes, I guess this is the only way to be fair to them.

    It sounds like Nathan has the same questions as the rest of us about the GP: https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2020/08/06/nathan-chen-grand-prix-figure-skating/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

    "The questions should’ve been about today’s event." Evgenia does not mince words with the press, does she?
  18. rockstaryuzu
    The longer this goes on, the more likely that the IOC will have to do this.
  19. rockstaryuzu
    Not a bad idea. Another option is to just make next year's Cup of China the test event and hold that in Beijing.

    Johnny leading by example. https://twitter.com/JohnnyGWeir/status/1290993433302175744?s=20

    I think this is straight up going to depend on the visa type they have. Jason basically told the border guards that he had a job to get to in Canada - and in a sense, he does. He probably also got lucky with the border agent and perhaps chanced upon one that was a figure skating fan.

    If what Plushenko says is true and that there's been no mention of financial considerations or sponsorship contracts or what have you between him and Kosto, then where did the rumours about sponsorship etc come from and who started them? I mean that's the type of thing that's normally insider knowledge...
  23. rockstaryuzu
    Google wasn't especially forthcoming with the French data, that's for sure. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised, not to mention impressed, by how easy it was to get the Russian numbers.
  24. rockstaryuzu
    on the other hand, if they can be convinced to ape the NHL by holding a basically bogus awards show no one wants, maybe we could sell them on a figure skating version of this idea. I could totally get behind an ISU_Figure Winter Classic. Hold it in Nathan Philips Square in January every year. or somewhere like that. Prize is a Canada Goose parka and a lifetime supply of hot chocolate (sponsored by Ghana perhaps ) Better yet, get this rink back up and running and let the boys (and girls) quad away at Parliament.
  25. rockstaryuzu
    That was the Challengers. They didn't say anything about senior GP at that time. And since yesterdays announcement by the ISU, the only two GP Yuzu is eligible for this year are NHK or SCI, depending on which country he's in at the time.
