And not just him, and not just skating. I find all of this stuff so interesting, in every sport. How do you go from doing what everyone else at your level does, to doing what no one else can? It's a fascinating subject.

Hearing him say that he has to train carefully, without getting injured, for the 4A, actually reassures me a lot. And how he's calculated how much strength and effort is needed for everything. He's being super-scientific about getting this 4A. He should write a research paper when he's done. Something like Observations on the Process of Extreme Achievement in High Performance Sport .

Does that ( the speech bubbles) say that they look like dentists?

BJORKY BJORKY HANY BJORKY. I love the Swedish Chef! Next to Beaker, he's my favorite character!

I hope he does!!! The guy's got to be getting something from it. All the money in the world would not be enough!

The whole point of wikipedia is that anyone who wants to, can edit a page, so have at! I speak no Swedish beyond IKEA-isms so unfortunately I cannot be of help.

They probably only paid for Canadian broadcast rights.

Yuzu in the photo studio at Lotte: Oh my God! I can already hear the fans... Lotte stylist: What do you mean? Yuzu: Umm they get very creative in their ...ahem.... let's call it praise... of the design

This seems like a strange thing to bully someone over. Every coach I've ever known, in any sport, has always emphasized the importance of keeping up with school and getting an education. On the surface of it, there's nothing strange about Nobu insisting on this. I suspect this is only the tip of the iceberg...

Ah, now my eyes are cleansed.

At least his complexion looks normal in that one!

I think they're one of those teams you have to see in person to get it. They came to SOI in Ottawa this spring and did one of their 2018 programs, and while watching them from the 6th row it was instantly apparent to me why they won Worlds. Their edges are so deep, smooth, and long, it's like ripples of silk going by. No one else is doing that right now.

Greating jumping GOATs on a stick - don't give Lotte IDEAS!!! (but not really) Does anyone have any suggestion for how to make a screen capture from a 480p video look a bit sharper and with better colour before trying to print it as a photo/sticker? Preferably using Paint or some other easily downloadable free software that works on Windows 7? If I can do this, I'll have a lovely Yuzu photo to share at SCI...

His skin tone is always way off in these pictures - like they deliberately mis-lit the studio to make him look mushroomy.

The whole shirt is ridiculously oversized and looks like they lined it with cardboard to make him look bigger.

OOh! You've inspired me! I can show you the best Shining, shimmering splendid Tell me, Judges, now when did You last let your rules decide? I can open your eyes Take you StSq by PCS Over sideways and under On a magic carpet ride A whole new skate! A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us no You cannot do That 4A-3T with twizzles A whole new world A dazzling place for the ISU But when I'm way up here It's crystal clear That now I'm in a whole new world above you Now I'm in a whole new world above you Unbelievable sights (4A!) Indescribable feeling Soaring, jumping, freewheeling Over endless diamond ice A whole new world (Don't you dare close your eyes) A hundred thousand skills to show off (Hold your breath, it gets better) I'm like a shooting star I've come so far I can't let you hold me down!

It really looks like something they picked up at a thrift shop for the hell of it.

Aladdin program, coming right up! "A whole new woooorrrrllllddd! A new fantastic point of view....."

Rabbit rabbit white rabbit indeed. His official Twitter, which I follow, has nothing since Aug 19 except a retweet on Sept 30.

Does this mean Rika's next competition program costume will look like pink old-lady pajamas?

I believe you would call that a Seven Axel. Or perhaps an act of God ( act of G.O.A.T.?). LOL.

Still no news on Jason? That's a bit worrying.

I was waiting for one of them to pounce.

Sharing it just for the laugh, even though these are clearly not Yuzu's feet:

Some interesting results there...like Tessa has almost twice as many views as Scott...or Keiji having more than Jason B...
