179. The fact that there are so many different details about him to focus on and love, and yet the whole remains far greater than the sum of the parts. ( Also, once more, with feeling, for The Waist!)

Great banner, mods, thank you. It's very cheery.

But in order for Dai to go to World's, he'd have to meet the minimum qualifying TES, which he doesn't have right now. Which would mean he,'d have to go to 4CC with a revamped program to get it.

I was doing the same! Javi's skating is beautiful, don't get me wrong. But I was looking for the two of them together.

Whoever filmed that only focussed on Javi so you can't see the two of them working together.

My favorite takeaway from this interview - Yuzu literally goes and skates in Brian's footsteps sometimes ( the figure 8 thing). That boy just kills me, every time.

I recall reading an interview of his where he mentioned that right before he competes, the adrenaline and nerves affect his stomach and cause him digestive troubles, so he's probably learned over time to eat lightly and simply for competition days.

I think these are his competition meals...the dates above each menu correspond to Helsinki and Cup of Russia.

He's the exception to the rule of gravity.

I think we need new Yuzumoji...

This is so true... costume-free skating it is, then...

There's gold ones...but it was way too much like one of Plushy's worst costumes ever, I couldn't bring myself to post it.

But what about this, Yuzu? It needs some tailoring in order to fit appropriately close to The Abs and The Waist, but Yu could totally make it work...

We're here to help!

The sparkles aren't aerodynamic anyway... I think he'd have to settle for some metallic screen-printing applied to the surface. Also, going back to the Kimono award... between Yuzu and the actress, Yuzu definitely wore it better.

According to my Google Translate version, it says he talked with speed skaters about their outfits because he was wondering if incorporating the materials and style in a FS costume would improve the speed at which he could turn. (I guess for jumps?) Yuzu the technical innovator.... Imagine getting to watch Yuzu perform in a speed skating unitard... ...oops. replied before I saw the other translation. . . . You know, it would probably be within the rules if Yuzu did a program telling the story of a speed skater- he'd have a reason to wear a speed skater's outfit then....bad @rockstaryuzu ! Bad! Down, girl!

There's an award for that? Wow. Of course Yuzu would win it. 🤣

Fan uploads are the low-hanging fruit. But that doesn't necessarily mean that this will stop once the fan uploads are gone. 😕

Sorry to see Kevin leave, but after such a tough GP season I can't say it's a surprise...at least I got a chance to toss a stuffie for him at ACI before he retired.

I usually have to read legal speak two or three times before I can figure out what it's saying, too.

Please keep in mind, I don't know that much either. I'm basing my assessment of the situation on what I could read in that twitter post. What that post says, makes it sound like SBS thinks they have the right to ask to take down ANY video posted on the internet that has ISU content, no matter who posted it or where it's coming from, unless it's geoblocked in Korea. Also, ISU content includes speed skating and short track speed skating, as well as synchronized skating and figure skating. So we're not the only ones suffering.

Good question.

That's crazy. If you read that carefully, it seems that it says, in essence, that SBS, whoever the flying **** they might be, has the legal right to regulate all ISU-related videos uploaded to any internet platform, regardless of origin, as long as they are not geo-blocked for Korea. That means that not only fan-uploaded videos, but any videos of ISU competitions uploaded by anyone, including other broadcasters who have also purchased broadcast rights, can be deleted at SBS's request unless geo-blocked for Korea!!! Who the freakin' frackety-frack ever agreed to that contract at ISU?! Or did they simply fail to read the fine print? Like, wtf?!! This sounds like SBS thinks they have exculsive worldwide rights to all ISU content. Geez louise!
