The ice looks fairly level to me...I think it's just that the film is warped. It very old footage and was probably originally recorded on film.

Yes, but it would have been better if they'd gone back and found the boy who'd never watched FS before, and asked him what he thought, after everything was over. I would love to see a 'before&after' compilation of FS fan virgins who've never seen Yuzu skate live ...would be so much fun!

Apart from what it's all about, this post has one of the most astounding and incredibly florid floral arrangements I've ever seen. After all this, I have but one conclusion...there is considerable writing talent amongst the Russian figure skating world when it comes to wielding a subtle knife...I've never seen so much shade delivered so smoothly. Never mind jumps and spins, this is what RusFed should be scored on.

Wow, he's laying it on thick!

Oh that was a bad one. I've never wanted brain bleach more than after reading that! Some people are psycho but don't realize it as proven by this incident.

I got Notte Stellata...maybe because Pooh-san is my favorite coach?

Brian doesn't start early season training at TCC until July anyway, so there's no need for Yuzu to rush back right now. He can wait to see if the restrictions are going to change anytime soon. Reality is, until the ISU makes decisions about how the next season of competition will proceed, Yuzu's probably perfectly fine remaining in Sendai.

Someone has to stop the insanity...but how?

A super intriguing tidbit from the Skate Canada archives This is the first time 3Lz was ever done in competition and it's flippin' amazing - delayed rotation, great height, just floats away. Also, pay attention to the creative jump entrances ( including a jump from a scratch spin) and footwork sequence in the middle. Other things of note: the five minute run time and the fact that Carmen was a warhorse even then Also note the judges sitting right on the ice...a tradition that maybe needs to come back in some form.

I thought this was happening tonight! I missed it 😭

Just thought I'd share this. Currently sitting in a local rink without the ice and this is what the surface of the concrete looks like, all scratched and chipped. Presumably from jump practice. Gives you an idea of the forces at work. why am I in an iceless rink? It's the local COVID-19 assessment center right now

Legions of fanyus would be overcome and faint dead away...the ones that aren't screaming the roof off, anyway

all part of Yuzu's plan for world domination You know, when your competitors and training mates gush over you like this, you're the real deal.

But he's really tempted, because he'd love his skaters to pay attention and do what he says

And Plush decides to rejoin the competitive world as ice dancer himself, with Yagudin as his partner, while simultaneously luring Raf to his coaching team with offers of skaters who will actually listen to what Raf is telling them.

That would be EPIC! I vote Meryl Davis to skate all the Yuzu parts... Not going to lie, I love that Yuzu has Bollywood fanyus.

His pandemic hair is just amazing

please shave, Patrick. Also, good job with the donation.

So there's this: No more 'baby' Jun!

Actually, wasn't it Ice-chan? Keegan stole her heart :D.

Ditto. The National Post did an analysis of where all our early cases came from, and the US was by far the main source: https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/canadas-early-covid-19-cases-came-from-the-u-s-not-china-provincial-data-shows . I never thought I would agree with Doug Ford, but he is 100% correct on this point. Also, watching what's going on in the US makes my heart ache. It's like watching a friend deliberately self-destruct. I'm thinking that the population density is relatively low in Alaska, so things like opening up a rink are much less risky, because they just over all have fewer people around to be in them. Likewise, I expect rinks in Nunavut or New Brunswick will open up much earlier than rinks in Toronto.

I had to watch the video several times before my brain believed it was real. And I thought the same as you, I hope Dai's cheque was many orders of magnitude big.

I thought the rule changes announced yesterday directly took aim at the patented Tutberidze cheated quad technique, actually. That's if they're used as intended, which they won't be.

Well isn't that interesting. I've always thought Nathan had miles of room for improvement, can't wait to see what happens while he tries to make those improvements. Also, sounds like this is the beginning of their big push for Beijing. If Yuzu is serious about trying to win there, he's got his work cut out for him.

More importantly, which is tastier? I mean, if Yuzu were actual cake....he'd be the ne plus ultra of cakes, no doubt, the likes of which even one bite would send the tastebuds to heaven...
