Oh, I know, it's just hard to correct myself when I've been calling him the other (wrong) version in my head for so long

I had been wondering about that for a while because there are 2 different pronunciations for this name, either with a soft g, or hard "g" + silent "s" (exact same spelling, but 2 different pronunciations) though the hard g + silent s would be more common where I'm from (it depends on the region I think). But Tracy said it with a soft g when she was doing commentary at SCI, so I guess that's the right one in this case. (I can't hear Yuzu very well with the commentary tbh, but it seems close enough?)

So Mama Tracy is helping Yuzu take over the world?

Hehe, one more time: happy Sochi anniversary everyone

Nya?

"In the interest of appeasement, I took with philosophy, and dignity, but without bitterness, the wise decision to resign." (roughly translated) He really is shameless, isn't he? Even now.

This thread has somehow become a "best Yuzu picture" game for fanyus and it's hilarious

[I'm interrupting the 4CC panic with this picture that Nam just posted ] Edit: Nam posted it on Twitter himself now

The 4T attempt wasn't very convincing

Gorgeous pic

On a lighter note, this thread is a compilation of various skaters wearing Irene gloves

4CC, also known as "Yuzu & friends 2020" featuring (in no particular order) Jason, Jun, Nam, Roman, Keegan, Camden, Kazuki, Boyang, Han Yan, and more.... Should be a fun competition. I foresee gala shenanigans

I don't think they're sick themselves, but they don't want to take any chance as there are always some "silent carriers" and also symptoms can appear later. Still, such a difficult situation

Apparently some Chinese fanyus are choosing to cancel their trip to 4CC to avoid risking spreading the Wuhan virus. It's a tough decision but a very kind and responsible act. I hope everyone from the forum is safe...

I follow her on Twitter already but I didn't know about the "sea of flags from Japan... " mention in her book. Great choice

Whether it's true or not, speculating publicly about it is really shady.... what a dirty way to get attention.

Philippe Candeloro was interviewed in "le Parisien", a French newspaper (he usually comments figure skating events for the French national TV). The article can be found here (but you need a subscription for access). I'm translating here some of his comments about recent notable events if anyone is interested. Nothing really new or surprising, but it's worth noting that it was at least mentioned in the news this week. It's a quick translation, so I apologize for any awkward wording. After that, he predicts a victory for P&C, hopes for a podium for Kevin and wishes the best to Maé but expects the Russians to dominate.
