  1. I guess we're all busy in the general skating and Russian drama team threads Here, have a baby Yuzu doing 3A
  2. The Keegan-Nam comedy act continues - social distancing version.
  3. If I understand correctly, British skaters are still not allowed to train because skating is considered as "leisure" rather than a "professional" sport. Rinks are closed. Several skaters have expressed their frustration publicly.
  4. The last pic is the famed Masquerade painting
  5. How did we end up with Spinning Out when there is Russian drama? All jokes aside I hope for Alyona's sake that they make an exception for her.
  6. This one? (There is pay wall) https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/21-french-ice-skating-coaches-suspected-of-abuse-586mdb8qm
  7. Let's be honest: the driver is money and tv rights, not some noble sport goals. Not even the Olympics can justify keeping SkAm in Vegas, one of the worst hub for Covid contamination at the moment. Especially if they plan to have an audience (still no word on that, who knows how it will be in 3 months). It should be criminal at this point. Olympics? Worlds? A fat lot of good that will do to those whose lives will be impacted (and who aren't necessarily the skaters themselves). I'd say there are over 150K+ reasons why this is a terrible decision.
  8. I propose another fan poll to chose who gets to go to GPF. It can't be that much worse than whatever method they'll come up with
  9. So they had a meeting.... decided to go ahead... but postponed making any actual planning to an unknown later date. I'd be fired if I acted like that at work.
  10. And all the nationals? 4CC/EC? Were they all drunk at this meeting? Are they going to squeeze it between 4CC and worlds? What kind of planning is this? ☠
  11. I really hope that there is a misunderstanding somewhere because
  12. Are judges supposed to evaluate from one single camera (as in, skaters will barely be visible when further away)? Or are skaters expected to set up multiple cameras in the rink (so easy and reasonable for everyone, especially skaters with less resources, right? ) I get wanting to organize *anything* this year, be it different from usual, but I don't trust the ISU to think of even the most obvious logistic implications. Doing it for fun is one thing, but if there is a prize money or if it counts for rankings in any way.... Let's see but I don't have much hope.
  13. I think you're way, way overthinking this. The joke is just that he doesn't train them much in public practice. That's it. For all we know, he could just be confident enough about them and feel he doesn't need to train them compared to more volatile elements like jumps. Other skaters don't really practice spins in public that much either.
  14. Our Axel girl being lifted
  15. Ever heard of the "Dance your PhD" yearly contest organized by the journal Science? It's not far from that
  16. Now I read rumors of a lack of sponsorship being the likely cause? No idea if that's true or not
  17. The true victim in this mess is Daniil and his allegedly amazing choreographies that will now be wasted
  18. The number of times I've seen a variation of this meme today...
  19. Is this already in the Yuzu calendar?
