I really hope Zhenya uses Memoirs of a Geisha again sometime. It would be a beautiful Ex. That song just will not die!

Are you trying ti kill me with these choices? Lord Almighty!

I have a dream that one day, the most Yuzu-like thing I ever do will be this: but, realistically, it'll probably be more like this: https://www.businessinsider.com/yuzuru-hanyu-figure-skating-winter-olympics-baffling-warmup-2018-2

Ooh, Seimei dressage would be very interesting! Even though I was the one who asked the question, it's proving difficult for me to come up with a serious answer. I have a hard time remembering my own achievements as such. They're just part of the flow of life...hence why I chose a characteristic (the cats and kids thing) instead.

I'm thinking that people are either going to get fit or get fat from this situation. I personally am not eating as much as before ( too nervous to get my usual coffee & pastry everyday) and am exercising a LOT more. But it could easily go the other way.

I share Yuzu's propensity for falling over nothing a la R&J 1.0, but I don't get up anywhere near as gracefully. Cats and kids also tend to like me quite a bit. So not GOAT-like, but definitely Yuzuish. I sense a theme emerging...

Actually, while looking at the MOI footgae of him tossing stuffies into the crowd, the thought occurred to me that he has a pretty good arm. He'd have been a great baseball player, I'm sure. So, question, to get us through this long, lonely drought: Bearing in mind that our chaos lord boy has done things like wait til his coaches' backs are turned to try 4A in public, and so on, what is the most Yuzu-like thing you've ever done?

He really was. The whole atmosphere there was happy though. The men's competition was very uplifting. I remember someone saying it was like a mini-Worlds.

You beat me to it! I just saw it on Twitter and came to post. Pretty slick, Yuma! Good job!

Yeah. That was the energy we fans all had too. Such a wonderful moment!

Well yes, but Oly-chan has always liked Yuzu even before that.

Seriously, Oly-chan isn't even pretending not to be a fanyu anymore...

I predict that in 20 years, they'll all, to a man, be like "I was so privileged to be able to share the ice with Hanyu, even for a moment" I mean, once everyone has had some time for Yuzu's achievements to sink in.

He even laughed over it a bit in that interview where he said it was like he'd left something behind until he won 4CC, basically he implied that he didn't win things in the proper order.

At least he found some ice.

Everything they posted about Yuzu was nice though

The article sounds very reminiscent of Olympics-chan who runs the Olympic social media. You think maybe they hired her? Where were prices quoted? I searched the whole site and didn't see anything?

I learned my lesson and will not buy an All-Event pass again. That's if travel to Stockholm is even possible by then. Who knows. I suspect ticket sales are going to be very, very slow for 2021 Worlds until this coronavirus thing is over. Also, looks like the Stockholm venue has a similar ticket sales mechanism in place as Evenko did. Even more reason to stay away from the early ticket-buying frenzy. I will definitely only do single-day tickets and pick and choose my events. Also, no ticket prices listed yet. Are we just guessing it'll be the same $$$$ as Montreal?

I wanted to pick PW, I really did, but I couldn't vote against Seimei either.

It's just, the tune itself, if it didn't have Yuzu skating to it, wouldn't attract me. To my ear, it's kind of meh. Sorry!

Reposting b/c it got lost in the shuffle yesterday and we all need a good laugh: Jean-Luc Baker works out with his pet: https://twitter.com/FSIgstories/status/1242118981928005632?s=20

Thanks!

Dear God, I hope not. I just read that Hong Kong is now experiencing a new wave of infections brought on by Hong Kong expats returning home after some of the restrictions in the city eased, because they thought they had got through it okay and were in the clear. Now HK will be banning all non-residents as of Wednesday AND international flights will not be allowed to connect through HK. Meanwhile, in my city, we now have community spread and a Chief Public Health officer who thinks simply appealing to people's better nature over Facebook will be enough, when public health should be bloody going door-to-door with information packages and quarantine orders, making sure every last man, woman and child in this city knows to stay home. The more this goes on, the more I don't understand the hesitation of the civil authorities to impose and order measures that will ensure people's safety. It's all half-measures and recommendations and assurances that the economy will be looked after and essential trade can continue. Feh.

Canadian skaters might be free to travel but getting back to the country might be another story. There's been news item after news item about Canadians getting stranded overseas as airlines shut down. if I were in their shoes, I'd stay put at home right now.
