Yes it is, which is why I posted it. I wouldn't be surprised if someone over at CBC is watching to see those counts rocket up.

I was watching directly from my YouTube recommended list! YouTube is so weird.

I'll be watching the Pyeongchang replay on CBC

Hey guys. Just dropping this here because the views are so low ( only 569 after 2 days!), and they shouldn't be. It's the YouTube of the Yuzu interview with Scott Russell. Apparently it's geoblocked, but if you can get through, give it a view, so as to encourage the CBC to do more stuff like this.

If ever there was a time for him to start... He can't train on ice, at least ballet you can do easily at home.

Easy. Pick H&L. It's the ultimate skate ever done.

Eh, only a little. He was the gold medalist in Pyeongchang, after all - and it's not like any of our men landed on the podium...oh no I said it

Definitely! That was unexpected. Guess we won't be able to enjoy his skating at ACI anymore, then...

I would love to see him skate with Brian, but I'm pretty sure Brian isn't ever going to perform again. But the two of them doing a program together would be so touching. I'd also love to see him skate with Jeff Buttle. I'm thinking the two of them would have a very playful and comedic energy on the ice, and that's one thing Yuzu doesn't really do, is comedy. Jeff could help him explore it.

So the first batch of these is complete and ready to be mailed out to those who requested a mail-out. Everyone else, please either DM me your mailing address or else plan to come to ACI or SCI in the fall.... I still have lots, happy to fulfill any badge requests between now and the new season, just give me a shout with the following specifics: Badge design (green Seimei or snow Seimei) Sparkles or no sparkles Name(s) you want on the badge (DM if you want your real name on it) Mail to you or pick up at a competition (DM your address for mailing)

Because that back is beyond compare? I've said this before and I'll say it again, I alternate between drooling over Yuzu's physique and wishing I was in as good a shape as him. I miss my teenage competitive swimmer body! Never thought I'd end up a middle-aged lump.

If only they could learn to skate like him, then.

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.
