    The same in March, on the video taken at TCC of him with Ekaterina Kurakova, Jason Brown and Jun Hwan Cha, each of them telling their fans a few words in their languages. He nodded when Jason Brown and Jun Hwan Cha spoke, showing at least an understanding of basic sentences in Korean; while he stayed still when Ekaterina Kurakova spoke, showing he doesn't understand Polish. Unless he pretends not to understand Polish, to make us believe he's human after all?

    He's really lenient and good-humoured to bear with all the intent, not to say lustful, comments this victory ceremony received. By the way, Yuzuru Hanyu's waist must be more or less steel? So lithe but so strong.

    Cacti are herding in order to lose less water during the drought, and neither to miss the least little drop, nor be late to next watering.

    Because when reading your post, I saw the big cumulonimbus cloud of temptation swooping on @rockstaryuzu. That's why I say I'm mean. Because it made me laugh. And it is so nice to see such a good skater as Adam Rippon, trying himself at a Yuna Kim program, thank you!

    To be honest, it looks so complicated and changing that I'm not sure I'm not saying completely wrong things. So, as to Grand Prix season, Junior Grand Prix have been cancelled (also Challengers Series), and some Grand Prix trophies but ISU is hoping to get six ersatz of Grand Prix, with or without attendance : Skate America, Skate Canada International, Grand Prix de France, Cup of Russia, Cup of China and NHK (Japan). They will be rather regional, skaters being able to attend whether their national or their training place Grand Prix. And the final is maintained in China, but may have more than six finalists in some categories. It is just to give the skaters an opportunity to compete and be judged, because it won't count for world standings etc. Sort of chocolate medals. The "details" are not known yet. National championships are supposed to go on but I think one have been cancelled in Japan? Anyway Russian test skates are going on (Junior Ice Dance already done) in Novogorsk, and are available on Youtube.

    And why not? One of my two "five-star waiting rooms" has gourmet and classical music magazines, and classical music in the air. (The other one has a view on nesting storks at a very few meters distance and same height.) The problem is, the patients can enjoy it while waiting, not the practitioner. Unless a patient doesn't show just when Yuzuru Hanyu is skating, changing completely the perspective on no-shows.

    And Olympic Seimei 9M66. I'm a bit despairing of its reaching 9M7 this week though, because views seem to be slowing down. I confess I'm just watching them once or twice a day now, instead of 5 times before Fakewards.

    I confess that when I read @FlyingCamel's suggestion, I burst out laughing. I'm mean. How could you not be tempted?

    Her programs show off her agility in blade movements, and the precision of her dance movements. So, I don't miss speed when I watch her. While Yuzuru Hanyu's speed makes me dream, in the most literal sense, his really high maximum speed being enhanced by his accelerations and decelerations, and by the impression he gives of needing no effort to gain speed or to stop in no time. She makes me like street dance (at least when she dances, I still loathe it globally), whereas he gives me this impression of being myself at this speed, wind and all, while at the same time fascinating me with each of his movements... No skater can compare with him, of course.

    Though a video, this is more like fanart because it is a series of watercolour-like treatment of some photos of Yuzuru Hanyu's.

    A reciprocal tribute between Kohei Uchimura and Yuzuru Hanyu.

    I hadn't noticed that sort of narrative was starting to emerge but if it is, then it is quite as stupid to use it about Anna Shcherbakova as it is from Nathan Chen's stans against Yuzuru Hanyu, who got his admission to Waseda University through normal exam, not through special athletes admission as I suppose Nathan Chen did (but I may be wrong). Maybe even more so, because Alena Kostornaia herself (who is nearly 17, by the way) repeatedly called Anna Shcherbakova an "intellectual", and the latter has never said what she aimed to do later as a career; her parents, in their last interview, seemed to imply she hadn't chosen yet. As to her motivations into neurosurgery, until now she expressed more attraction for the challenges a neurosurgeon has to take up, than to being a ministering angel at a patient's bedside. And I don't see it a problem with a surgeon. It is more so for a family doctor or even a non-surgical specialist. Of course we only have her interviews, I really think she's sincere but we don't have the deeper of her thoughts, and as you say she's still a teenager, and high-level athletes tend to be a bit late in maturity (which is not a problem in our times).

    Deepl.com already give an idea that this is a very interesting interview. And the first photo! So, at just 18 he had not a perfect skin like now?

    I would go even further. I don't see the least problem with pairs and ice dance, because they skate with only one partner, who becomes like family, allowing contact and breathing near. In ballet for instance, where duet classes and ballet performances usually imply changing partner rather often, I suppose they have/had to set new plans so that each dancer have a partner for months. But this is not the case with pairs and ice dance skating. I suppose you can set training partners in judo, karate, fighting etc in order to be able to train a bit and not lose everything. It doesn't compare with many team sports where teams have large numbers, and where they meet different teams if they compete.

    Nobody have asked Brian Orser, Tracy Wilson, Ghislain Briand... what they thought about their different students' hugs? Sometimes journalists ask strange questions after all. Or Pooh-San.

    This is what I am expecting. Or maybe, nothing before Nationals (I really believe there will be Nationals and they will be broadcast; I am less sure about GP.) But I trust him for something else. He has green fingers.

    Which would be more than procrastination. Not her at all.

    Well, in many topics I suppose he doesn't (his real life is full of surprises, good and bad) but as to announcing his programs, I suppose he's free to announce them early, and doesn't do so on purpose, is it not?
  20. SitTwizzle
    I don't think there are factual elements (please correct me if there are) but between wishful thinking and outright lie, i'd rather believe the former. I'd imagine (there, pure speculation) Alena Kostornaia in tears telling them she's leaving (and knowing full well what happens when a student leaves Team Tutberidze, plus probably being sorry to have to leave) and them trying to get info and misunderstanding her words. I think it would have been stupid of them to fabricate such a lie because it would quick be known as such, but had they believed it, and with Eteri Tutberidze's lack of restraint when a student leaves her, it sounds more logical to me that they claimed it. Being of course perfectly clear there was never any such "plot since May" in reality, from all public elements it was a hasty decision mid-July.

    Et le désir s'accroît quand l'effet se recule. (Corneille, Polyeucte.) And the desire grows when the effect is pushed back. (Let's ignore the other phonetic meaning. ) He's used to give us surprises when and how they give us the maximum thrill, isn't he?

    昨年2月のCBCのインタビューが日本語字幕化されました。 英語字幕もあります。
  23. SitTwizzle
    Notre-Dame de Paris at Japan National Championship 2012, he was just 18. Here, the bonus is an interview just after, with English subtitles. Olympic Seimei have passed the 9M62 on Youtube but is slowering down, while Olympic Chopin is really near 1M99, and should reach 2M in the very next days.

    If you feel low, if your day hasn't been what you hoped it to be... think of Yuzuru Hanyu's smile. (From @yuzuponbitch's Twitter, retweeted from Jenif-valentine.) And I hadn't seen that closely last 4CC medal. "Palmam qui meruit ferat" is a Latin locution meaning "May the one who deserves the palm, bear it." Quite befitting. Is it usual on figure skating medals?

    Happy 15th birthday to Alysa Liu, the "petite demoiselle" ("little young Lady").
