  1. This also depends on Japanese decisions. Infections trend seem upwards in Japan.
  2. What an extremely interesting article, thank you!
  3. Yuzuru Hanyu "the most respectful and kind figure skater and sportsman" : By the way, Olympic Seimei by Olympic Channel is approaching 9.5M views (9.481-something) and Olympic Chopin is a bit farther from 2M.
  4. Is it possible that, if he's good at practice and less so in competitions, it may be due to Champéry being rather high?
  5. Wine on ice? I know some make rebujitos (now with chilled lemonade but it used to be with crushed ice) with ordinary sherry wine, but it is specific...
  6. Not sure if a boycott is the right thing to do at the moment (plus, I see no mention of the victims' coach who was the initiator of the abuse in the "d... pics" case), but alerting ISU (I'd rather say : making them understand general public is aware) clearly is : Meanwhile, Nathalie Péchalat, the new president of the French federation, claims she is acting but was prevented in these two cases by obsolete rules, and that in particular, Gilles Beyer (who "allegedly" raped many teenagers he was coaching since the 90s and was still coaching a few months ago in spite of decades of alerts to the federation and complaints etc) had failed to renew his licence by fear of sanctions and she pretends she could do nothing if he wasn't a member anymore : https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/entry/federation-des-sports-de-glace-nathalie-pechalat-decouvre-des-cadavres-chaque-semaine_fr_5f207a9ac5b66859f1f323da She seems to imply there are other cases of abuse, which wouldn't surprise me at all, given the impunity of the abusers during decades.
  7. Or they know his foreign fans buy it nevertheless, even if they can't understand the texts?
  8. This SOS d'un Terrien en Détresse (SOS from an Earthling in Distress) seems to be on the way of becoming a warhorse, isn't it? Is this Cathy Reed's first choreo?
  9. Sorry, I was completely wrong because I had taken a 8.80 base value for 3A instead of 8.00. I don't know what I have today, I keep doing silly things. So the score was not that awful after all. I feel somehow relieved.
  10. The automatic translation is a mess but she seems to have developed a well-seasoned character, which must be necessary with such strong personalities as elder sisters.
  11. And if you think that in this still modest 12.57 at 4CC include a 0.88 bonus for having jumped it in the second half of the program... He should have had a plain 14.08 for it (8.8 base value + 4.4 grade of execution + 0.88 bonus), shouldn't he? Come on, judges, what are you expecting of a 3A to give it a 5 all over the board? Edit : wrong base value (8.8 instead of 8) leading to big errors. Thank you @river for seeing it.
  12. Maybe with a partner!
  13. He's not a ghoul. Rather the opposite.
  14. Thank you for your patience. Still nothing moves.
  15. I hope there won't be too many people given the reduced capacity...
  16. An old video from CBC ("Who Dis?") featuring Nam Nguyen after last Skate Canada, how it was to skate after Yuzuru Hanyu, and his projects then. The sound is not very good on his side.
  17. I don't know yet if Alina Zagitova has passed her exam and can enter an university, but I found this article which tells us a bit how she feels and her projects ("surprise" : to study at a physical education university to become a coach; I am sure she will be a very good one, by the way, and loved by her pupils). https://www.archyde.com/alina-zagitova-latest-news-for-today-use-results-photo/ It also gives Peter Gumennik's mark at his Russian test for the Unified State Exam : 98/100.
  18. 在 "Movie"标签下,有羽生结弦对KOSÉ的采访,有中文字幕。 http://sekkisei.kose.com.cn/myv/yuzuru-hanyu/
  19. So glad to have news of yours, though less good than hoped. Thank you for the video, so inspiring! And I like this FedUpLys you retweeted, after all it is good that some speak these calculations, evident as they are. And I like so much her motto "Quousque tandem, Catilina..." (which every Latin student have studied because it is very good, plain and classical Latin), so apt to describe our exasperation towards ISU and many federations, though I really wonder if, in case ISU would be somehow swept away for their corruption, they would behave as bravely as Catiline did, rushing ahead of his last soldiers. Didier Gailhaguet's attitude, for instance, was not exactly the same, to put it mildly.
  20. What I hope, is that the Florida enquirers are trying to find out what there was behind this request by the victims' coach. Diving deep in it may tell in particular (but maybe not only) if Morgan Ciprès has "just" been an obnoxious, irresponsible male and his coaches, particularly ill-judging ones unfit to train minors, or if they were involved in the grooming attempt which may, given what has been said to this date, have been the reason behind this request of asking Morgan Ciprès an improper photo. Until they have found out (and even judged), French federation should in no way have done anything definitive, yet there was ground enough for some provisional measures (particularly relating to minors) given all that is clear and uncontested. Now I think they can do nothing more, even if it is later found out that he was part of a grooming system (which I hope not of course), because there have already been a sentence.
  21. There is a new video about Yuzuru Hanyu's name (and given name), with alternate meanings (I don't know their accuracy), and an extract of the previous one (which was in Japanese). This one is in English but has a lot of text in Japanese too.
  22. This video is about the fanyuesque attitude of a member of staff at GPF 2014 :
  23. I get no text after "It's time to talk about this". Maybe because I don't have any Instagram account?
