And all his fans have twitchy mousing fingers - clicky-clicky. Myself included. The poll only has to say the word 'Yuzu" and I'm ready to click away.

Yes, normally you don't want to miss a treatment once you start, because missing a treatment gives the cancer cells a chance to grow back harder. So for example, all our patients currently on treatment must finish. But, depending on the biology of the particular cancer a patient has, treatment start can be delayed for a bit. Those are the patients you can turn away (for a short while). Sooner or later they still have to be treated

My feeling is that the translation issue is a budget thing. CBC has had their budget slashed by the government in recent years, maybe that's the best they could do with the budget they have. @glilikoi : Thanks for the more complete translation! Appreciate it.

I work in a cancer clinic. Cancer patients are usually immunocompromised. So right now, any oncologist worth the name will be fighting to keep his patients away from COVID-19. That could mean postponing their cancer treatment and telling them to stay home

I wonder if it was the same condition that killed Sergey Grinkov.

Oh no! He was so young. Just retired from skating last year, too. How sad.

Not going to lie, I was hoping for a show down between Dead Black Swan (Hawayek/Baker) and Swanyu. Don't get me wrong, I do like Jason, but Battle of the Swans would have been so much more EPIC...

Well, he had a point...Pooh (the original bear cub that inspired A.A. Milne) actually does come from the Canadian forest... But there's a subtlety to Scott's question that someone who isn't used to Canadian English might not get. When he says 'Where does that come from? ' about Pooh, what he means is, 'Why is Pooh your mascot/what does Pooh mean to you?'.. in other words, he's trying to understand Yuzu's love for Pooh. And Yuzu did pick up on that when he said that Pooh was like a coach watching him.

Same! Scott made Yuzu cry too, with all that praise...and then Yuzu made me cryand now I have to go watch this video a million more times.... Only thing Scott missed was asking him about 4A. And I love how hard Yuzu tried in English before switching to Japanese. His English has improved so much. Just when you thought you couldn't love Yuzu any harder or more...

Oh is this the Scott Russell interview? Yay!!

They don't have to make a decision on the Olympics til May. It could be a whole different game by then. As for Yuzu, I also think it's probably safest for him to stay in Toronto right now, but whether he does will probably depend on SOI.

I'd rather mail them out now than have them kicking around my house for six months and them getting lost or damaged. I can hang onto yours for you if you want.

What I'm working on tonight instead of meeting satellites in Montreal before Worlds: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GanqsvaRYosJsFYd6 Sing out if you want one of these satellite ID badges. They can be blinged up and personalized with your PH handle, RL name, both, or just plain. The ones out on the table are ones that have already been spoken for. And yes, I will mail them if you DM me your address. As for Sven there, he was supposed to be tossed on the ice for a skater, I just hadn't decided who yet.

Oh no! Take care of yourself!

Roman just posted a video about the same thing. His rink was closed as of yesterday and they were scrambling to find ice time at TCC or Granite, but now that's out too. Good thing it's fairly early in the season, but who knows how long this will actually last for? Skaters who still have access to ice right now are definitely going to have an advantage come September. Provided they can keep that ice access...I have a feeling that sooner or later the whole world will be going through the same thing. For example, I just got a message from my uncle in Spain. They're now in lockdown. His girlfriend is an ER doctor, and he's over 65 with a heart problem. Time for anxiety

Their love is eternal, although Ice-chan is a tsundere

If they vote in this, I bet $100 they vote for each other.

Well, by long term I meant lasting a whole season. I know the Russian girls have a short shelf-life.

Scoring aside, I just don't see how she can successfully deliver results over the long term when she's lacking such a fundamental basic thing. The fact that she does is a testament to her own athleticism and determination, but raw physical talent will only get you so far. And we've seen this with her losses to Scherbakova and Kostornia already. Quads are not the be-all end-all

I know. There's nothing in that program run-through that made me feel it would deserve a medal at Worlds. But when even the stroking is off....!

I don't know how to put this but, compared to a lot of other skaters, her basic stroking seems like it costs her a lot of effort. She really looks like she's labouring during those moments. Her skating is clearly not effortless. 5 quads but she can't fly across the ice.

Not Yuzu related, but if anyone is thirsty for some skating, the World Junior Synchro Championships are streaming live right now: Synchro has a charm and a fascination all its own. I love that the athletes are such a mixed bag of shapes and sizes but the whole team is in unison.

He does like to revisit programs that he didn't feel got their due, so maybe we'll see it eventually some day. I adored the flag hijinks at ACI. Glad that Keegan acted on that impulse and started the show.

Good thinking!

LOL! Beware the fanyu invasion! As for effects on people, it's not like I can talk, his effect on me leaves me in need of CPR....
