    If they put a camera man on the ice with a live feed to follow the skater around, they could have a competition without anyone having to travel at all. each skater could perform from their home rink, the judges could score via videoconference, and because the camera would be right on the ice following the skater around, any funny business in the scoring would be immediately apparent.

    It'd work for ice dance but the judges wouldn't know how to score it. Pairs is not pairs without lifts and throws, though.

    As long as it's not calling him 'String Feathers Player" as it sometimes does...
  4. rockstaryuzu
    Already did it.

    I can't even visualize how they're going to handle hockey under COVID. I think with the exception of the NHL, hockey is done for the time being, except for individual skills training. There's no way you could safely do a Timbits league right now, for example.

    He lives in Vaughan, Ontario, or Richmond Hill:. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Vaughan,+ON/@43.8369994,-79.7060246,11z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x882b268883243a77:0xdd95317585aa054b!8m2!3d43.8563158!4d-79.5085383 He's in the same time zone as me. That's how I know he was up so late.

    Wow, the Russians are going hardcore....athletes and coaches have to have a medical clearance and won't be permitted to leave? So they're basically taking the approach of quarantining together at a training base. Not at bad idea at all, but I don't know of any other federation that would have the will and the resources to do it this way.

    New Roman video dropped last night at 1 am (What's he doing up so late?)) He addresses the issue of the return of skating in Ontario:

    LGC and PW are the ones I come back to over and over again. I've watched Origin a lot, too. I really love him in purple, I think. I've watched my share of H&L too. ***** On the topic of Yuzu and baseball: I wonder if he's ever considered doing a baseball-themed program as an Ex. I wonder if that would even work, if he did. I mean, I think it would have to be a comedic piece to make it work, and so far he hasn't tried that kind of thing.

    Now I'm picturing Yuzu having a "He was SAFE!" - "OUT!" - "SAFE!" - ""YER OUTTA HERE!" argument with the umpire.
  11. rockstaryuzu
    I've always thought this, but that 3rd picture really shows it - his turnout is so good it's scary. Any ballet satellites care to comment?
  12. rockstaryuzu
    I know that's what they said. It's just that I myself don't trust them any more and I think they were lying when they said that.

    Nobu got so excited. It was really cute.
  14. rockstaryuzu
    He sounds like a fantastic coach to work with. I liked that interview very much.
  15. rockstaryuzu
    Ditto. For the GP series, all-events might still be worthwhile, but anything as expensive as World's, I'm going to go with single-event tix or resale from now on
  16. rockstaryuzu
    From Stephane? Really? Why?
  17. rockstaryuzu
    No! My God, what did he do? It looks like he's about to enter a monastery and take holy vows!
  18. rockstaryuzu
    ToshI being such an unabashed Yuzuru fanboy warms my heart so much.

    Yeah, the NHL has an awards banquet which is a big fancy black-tie affair, generally not held in an arena, and usually those attending are all NHL players or staff and their families, plus some journalists. The NHL also does not dupe unsuspecting members of the general public into buying tickets for said awards banquet. Also, I think what we can assume from the Montreal situation was that, in fact, the medalists probably weren't going to be performing after all. So the gala being one more chance to see Yuzu is cast into doubt from now on, for as long as the ISU wants to cling to this awards show idea. I think that would be enough to keep me away from any such event.
  20. rockstaryuzu
    More to the point, don't buy tickets for the 'gala' at Worlds next year, because you won't get what you pay for. Ovechkin? Iesu Christe. What does a hockey player know about figure skating?! So now we know the awards are simply a blatant attempt by Zakarian to line his own pockets.

    Ohhh-kay then: https://www.rt.com/sport/489206-sofia-titova-quads-figure-skating/

    ...and a good lesson for the rest of us on how to really do positive thinking. Was it Tracy who said that Yuzu's key quality is that he believes in his own abilities? This is what that means. No "I think I can". No "I might be able to, if I work hard." No "I want to do it and I'll try." Just straight up "Yeah, I can. " It's so inspiring.
  23. rockstaryuzu
    He certainly puts the lie to the conventional wisdom that too much muscle interferes with jumping. I think Yuzu has spoken about this before, though - it's about a delicate balance between having enough power and strength and not being too massive to fly.
  24. rockstaryuzu
    Keegan's 3A, and his quads, are sometimes very overpowered, to the point where he loses control (the 2018-19 season comes to.mind.) Other than Dmitriev, I think he's the only man who has openly acknowledged training for 4A. I personally think Keegan could do it. He's got the speed and power, and he's shorter than Yuzu so the physics of it might actually work better. But I'm not convinced he has the same level of desire to achieve it.
  25. rockstaryuzu
    "Well it's only 17 centimeters..." And to think that he was thinking that way back in 2017. Who looks at a holographic projection of themselves doing a superhuman feat and thinks, "Oh yeah, not so bad, I can do that for sure!" Only Yuzu.
