It is, isn't it? What comes up changes every few days - or maybe if I look specifically for FAOI stuff, the next time, it might suggest some. Lately, it has this video, the WR from 4CC and something from GP final as he top three.

And I'm also able to get the video on plain old Youtube. Don't know who is blocking it from anyone... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR4P-dRvgk4&t=33s This is NOT embedded - that may be where the problem is for people.... It has 5478 views so far. Just go to YouTube - and query Yuzuru Hanyu (which is my default YouTube query...

I was able to watch it before and now I can't! At least here. I had minimized it on my computer so I could watch it again and again and the website it's still on is https://www.cbc.ca/sports/figure-skating-star-yuzuru-hanyu-shares-his-emotional-journey-to-becoming-world-s-best-1.5499431 I wonder if that works. It's not Youtube... Why and who would geoblock this? It's Geoblocked because it's embedded - see the next comment by me and go to YouTube directly.

Got it - thanks.

Why won't this play for me???

Jason came home to the states, but that's a vastly different thing that Yuzu getting on a jet and going to Japan when there is no way to know when Canada would let him return. I do hope he's in Toronto.

Really? When my late husband had his first bout with cancer, it was stressed that he make every single radiation treatment Every single chemo - even on weekends. Is there a way to stagger arrival times for the most needy? Being the the waiting room with not just other patients but with those who rove them over and need to wait must be the most dangerous time for exposure. Keeping everyone who came along with the patient outside and asking them to not enter the building would lower the risk of exposure -unless the patient has already been exposed, I suppose, and then everyone is at risk. What a dreadful decision to have to make.

Bummer - no skating, no movies (presuming there are more than 50 people in a theatre), no dining out. What sort of PTO is this? Any one else in your practice want to trade you some days for you to use later on in the year? Virus or no virus, those babies just keep on getting born when they want to be.

Sven is a cutie. I already have my name/name done. Are you sure you want to ail them all? Added expense and we could get the at ACI (for those of us going to ACI -and ACI MUST happen, we have to have something to look forward to).

Thanks -

Thanks for the translation - does anyone know what Jun said?

Does he have any say in which ones he skates? If so - Skate Canada and Rostlecom Cup would be best for him, timing wise, with weeks in between and weeks before the GP final.... Aren't they kind of by invite only? Or does JSF have a say?

Olympic channel website quoted NC. He was pleased his coach didn't have to risk getting sick.

It is a fairly safe thing to predict it will be at least a year before a vaccine for this virus is able to be used. First, they have to come up with one (or more) vaccines and then test them for a period of time. There is no way to rush the science. Maybe some countries will come up with something a little bit sooner but it won't be approved for use in the states. Protocols. The best we can hope for, really, is effective treatment soon. Especially for the elderly.

It is winter in Australia in August. most flus (and no one knows if this will behave like other coronavirus's and the flu) are a seasonal deal. In the northern hemisphere, regular flu season is usually December through maybe April. But, truly, no one knows if this will behave like other virus'. There is a prediction that if it does dissipate in the spring, it will likely come back next season. Unknown - but there will be no vaccine by then, so this could all be ugly again next year.

There are no other ISU events but many of the skaters are already lined up for ice shows. And getting the rink would be problematic - it's the home rink of the Montreal Canadians. They are not going to postpone it, period.

No panic - just concern. Mine being that I get there and cases go up exponentially and the US doesn't let me back in. I feel worse for those already on their way...

Roman is a good spinner - but I think that Yuzu is greatly underscored on his spins (and his step sequences) routinely.

There is no question that his gift is hard-wired. Of course, it has only been with an almost inconceivable level of commitment and single-minded hard work that got him where he is. Maybe that's hard-wired, too. I think he gained a sense of purpose out of the horrors of the earthquake that has enhanced his dedication. (And his family- his gift would never have been fully realized without their support.)

Wow - and now I have to decide to go to this or go to Massachusetts for a family reunion and the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims landing (We are direct descendants of Mayflower survivors, as are, I imagine, many tens of thousands....). Guess where I'd rather be? And I actually like the built in reason to not go to Plymouth. Such priorities. I'd rather been in Oakville, if Yuzu is.

To think that 13 years ago he showed more grace and artistry than those who are considered among the best as senior level skaters now. So amazing.

Could they pick a rink further away from hotels? Western Toronto is kind of boring....

Oh, I forgot in my DM - I like the green sparkley idea....

You, too, could look like this if you were genetically blessed and stayed out of the sun virtually your entire life.
