That doesn't say much about the current crop of juniors, does it? Basically Plush is saying no one like Yuzu will rise up for at least another 8 years... I guess it all depends on how long Yuzu will be able to have this competitive fire within him to win, and on remaining injury free.

Then whoever he picks for Beijing, I'm going to put money on. Because I never would have picked Alina.

So the day NHK starts (Nov 22) is also the day I have: The furnace guy coming a hair appointment my mom wants me to take her to her mammogram mandatory radiation safety training at work (on my day off!!) and the office Christmas party in the evening. How did this happen? Don't these people know I have Yuzu skating to watch?!

Plushy the psychic? I wonder how he was able to recognize the greatness in Yuzu so early.

There's no guarantee that Chiddy will be the one handing it out, but yes,

Well, except that Plushy also had injuries, too. His back, wasn't it? Something about getting steel rods implanted because of a fracture or something?

Sounds tailor-made for Yuzu! Nice that they nominated Brian McKeever (a Paralympian) too.

Well, it's bad that he felt that way, but it's good that he doesn't get complacent! That's how he keeps winning.

This is why he's such a champion. "Good, better, best - never let it rest" could be his motto!

Using avatars is a fun idea in itself, although your avatar is VERY specific though. A lot of people use the default one and that wouldn't help much.

I personally am starting to wonder about myself, given how well I've taken to being called 'Rockstar'

Hi satellites. This has been on my mind for a while: I love meeting other satellites at competitions when I have the chance to attend. However, one thing that repeatedly happens to me is that I can't keep names and faces straight - neither people's Planet handles, nor their real names. It's really embarrassing to have to keep asking people their names over and over again! I've also noticed that sometimes it's just awkward to introduce yourself by Planet name, and of course no one knows your real name at first so it means nothing to others. With all that in mind, I was thinking that it would be nice to have a pin badge specifically for satellites, so we can recognize each other and not have to keep re-introducing ourselves all the time. The design I have in mind would have blank white spaces where people could write in their real/preferred names and their Planet nicknames, and include some graphic that's obviously associated with the Planet. If there's enough interest, I can get it done. I've done some preliminary pricing and I think I could get something suitable for well under $3 CDN/pin. Thoughts? Discussion? Worst idea you ever heard, or briliant plan?

I just watched it on his Twitter. Try there?

My reaction to the On Ice Perspectives video: I sure hope there's more!!! Also, how much do you wanna bet Yuzu asked Jordan for the footage so he could use it as a training review? Next thing you know, OIP will get a standing gig filming Yuzu's feet up close during training sessions so the Ice Lord can perfect every little detail...

He probably did, just hasn't edited it to upload yet.

I think Yuzu is waiting to see what the others are likely to bring to the table, and then he'll adjust his layout for maximum efficiency to win. Which may or may not require 4A. Tracy said something interesting about 4A during her SCI commentary. She said " you have to hit it perfectly" when referring to the feasibility of landing it.

We don't even need to do anything special - just record any conversation of a group of four or more satellites at any competition we go to and you'd be just as good, and definitely funnier, than anything TSL puts out. I haven't listened to ITL because their podcasts are way too long, but we're probably wittier than them too. Only thing we'd have to tone down is our thirstiness.

Once Yuzu gets the ball rolling, it's kind of hard not to cheer for everyone else too. I mean, he puts you in the mood to appreciate all the others. At least that's how I felt.

So I was viewing some clips of the TSN fluff, and happened to catch Tracy talking about 4A. She herself describes it as 'scary' to watch Yuzu doing it.

Same.

One more for the list: if it weren't for Yuzu, my second career as unpaid event organiser and tour guide would never have found me

Whatever will cause maximum pandemonium. I think Yuzu is on a roll here.

I haven't read the whole thread, just the translations, but I'm glad Yuzu is finally speaking his truth.
