Looking at the examples they chose for the choreo sequence, it seems getting high GOE would be easy for this element. Not trying to be mean but Alina's ChSq does not "enhance the music"

I am seeing terrible news about the floods in Japan, are all the Japanese satellites alright? Praying for everyone in the affected areas, be safe please

Yuzu has been so busy in the last few month, he totally deserves some "me" time I think this off season would be much easier than the stressful wait we (and he) had to endure after NHK so I am not going to complain. Next time we see Yuzu it will be a new beginning with new programs for a new season. So exciting

I love Mai and Kaori's music choices I can't wait to see the programs

I think it is possible to stop this if enough feds were against it. After all, they need a majority to pass anything in the ISU (the benefit of watching the congress was learning how things really happen there). I think that if the fans made enough noise to get the feds to consider the issue and vote against it (rather than ignore it), it can be stopped. We know for a fact that they are aware of our protests and I think it is possible to convince them to see our side of the discussion. I personally don't believe that the ISU or the feds are trying to kill the sport as I don't see any benefit for them from doing that. What I think is happening is that they believe they know better and that their ideas will revive the sport which is losing popularity (according to them). They need to be convinced by other view points or voted out by the other feds.

That is the last thing I expected to happen Congratulation to Anna.. I wish her the best

Is this really necessary. Insulting everyone in the Chines fed based on speculations about something you know nothing about? Unless you have proof about wrong doing, these kind of statements should be avoided. Fans can go as crazy as they want, no one owes us anything and they don't have to update their social media to make us happy. Let's wait and see what happens instead of insulting people now and then finding out we were wrong, bad words cannot be taken back after all. So leave the outrage until there is something to be angry about.

It is probably something mundane like the visa being delayed. These things happen all the time and there is no need to be upset about it. Even if Boyang, for some reason, decided that he wanted to stay in China then it is his choice. No one knows his circumstances better than he does and he is the only person who had the right to make those decisions anyway.

Congratulation Yuzuru Yuzu looks really good but very uncomfortable at the same time Though he always looks like he wants to be somewhere else when he is given awards (that are not his gold medals)

He was great and I really hope this season would be good for him as well. He has struggled a lot in the past but still persevered, he deserves some love now I wish Takahashi good luck as well. I am a newer fan so I did not watch him when he was competing and don't have any emotional attachment as many others here do, but I will keep an eye on him this season. Hope he gets a good, satisfactory end to his competitive career.

If he follows the same pattern of last season then it would interesting in the beginning of the season not in March ... I am not optimistic either, he was the biggest disappointment of last season and I can't really get excited about his programs anymore (his music choices wher some of my favorites but we all know what happened) Please prove me wrong Nathan

Wow, Wakaba's music is fantastic, I love it .. Now I am really looking forward to see the program BTW, fans think this may be Nathan's SP music (they deduced it from a 2 seconds video ) Admins, if I am not supposed to post these speculations here let me know and I will remove it

Nathan's SP music maybe?!!!!

Cross posting from the team USA thread I think Shae-Lynn is choreographing Nathan's SP again this maybe from his new SP but I am not sure

I think Shae-Lynn is choreographing Nathan's SP again

New Choreo? It could be his SP

Life is really cruel to me. Last season I missed seeing Yuzu because he didn't go to Worlds (which was fine since his health is more important) but now he is going to compete twice in Europe (the only continent I can realistically go to) and I can't travel anywhere. I was fine before because I convinced myself that he will be only competing in NA or Japan so I don't have a chance anyway but now this happens and I am really depressed This is so unfair

Personally I think it is a couple of years too early for her to be using this music, hope she proves me wrong

It is good they didn't pick Yuzu for NHK because now he has a chance to win the special GP and get a medal no one else has #ThinkPositive

It just hit me how much they will be missed

Is it just me or were the matchups (of top skaters) way more exciting last year

Shoma's assignments seem the easiest since he is not meeting any of the top guys. Let's hope the others step up and give him a run for his money

It is actually very smart. They can inflate their scores from the beginning and since it is a new system those scores will the benchmark of their scores for the rest of the season.

Post the list or don't post at all skate Canada

How did we go from penguins to music suggestions to coffee What are we talking about now? I can't keep up
