Thank you, that was a terrific first post - keep writing, it's great to read more and more people find Yuzu special! Small correction - Patrick beat Yuzu's record and he held it a bit longer, I think. Patrick's SP at the 2013 was also a record score wasn't it? I might well be mistaken, though

3A or 2A

Skaters aren't allowed to jump 4A in the SP

I heard the program was cancelled due to the political escalation with North Korea.

Exactly. In her last season's lovely lyrical SP I thought I saw a new Yulia break out and win our hearts again, but fate wouldn't have it. Wishing nothing but health and happiness in whatever she chooses to do from now on! The national and international response to her retirement is astounding!

Shae Lynn and @gladi you have my eternal love! Thank you!

Heaven forbid! I won't survive if Yulia ever turns into that...

because they have to justify their own actions and because some officials are idiots. Mishin had to say a few kind words about Julia, thanking her and saying she was one of the pioneers of the Russian dominance in Ladies' FS http://tass.ru/sport/4513150

I'm reading what the Fed has to say about her and it makes me sick...

Her Mum's words qualify as gossip now?

Ничего страшного, главное, чтобы здесь тебе было уютно и тепло.

Я со всем этим согласна!

I suspected it - there's nothing else that can be treated for such a long time. I wish her to be happy in whatever she chooses to do - I don't think she'll choose a public career, though. So sad for her...

http://tass.ru/sport/4512853 According to this, Julia informed about her decision to retire back in April. Her Mum claims so. So now it's official. And I won't stop crying today - she had anorexia...

Возможно. Но если он затеет экскурс в прошлое, как в прошлый олимпийский сезон, я буду не против... хотя... у него не так-то и много выбора для экскурса на данный момент

Ура-ура, нашего полку прибывает! Добро пожаловать и спасибо за такой длинный рассказ - все равно получаешься ветераном! Рада возвращению Сеймея?

I hope technology takes us there soon...

I'd travel and pay that running edge, and if I get a catalogue of several hundred more, I'll die happy

should be framed and hung on the wall!!! Definitely more meaningful than most modern art Ive seen!

@kaerb thank you so much for translating it so fast!

Now you're killing us - what's the fuss about?

It was last year's shows in Japan - DOI, I think.

They could throw each other then, couldn't they?

Now who'd look good with Yuzu re jump technique?

I've a sneaking feeling this could last year's picture, but I might well be mistaken. 🙂
