Hello, I share with you this video montage I made recently. It's to thank the Japanese skaters for this 2020-2021 season, and of course to thank Yuzu^^. I love them all, but we had to make some choices to make this video. Even if they are far away, we are still behind them and think about them a lot ! The song is "Staring at the sun" sung by Mika. I hope I'm posting it in the right forum (if not, please tell me where to post it) Japanese figure skaters 2020-2021 - YouTube

Ah, je ne savais pas que pour Tim et Misato on parlait de la Teams KoKo. On en apprend tous les jours. Hihi ;-)

This ?

Thanks for these pictures ! It's a lively programme. And every time after I watch it, I have the music in my head for a long time hihi

You are all right. It's a wonderful programme, wonderful music, wonderful costume...

It's great! Javier is a good teacher, patient and friendly. Great success !

Bonjour Onjong ! Bienvenue :-) . Chouette une nouvelle francophone ! Oui, le patinage c'est vraiment le plus beau des sports :-) hihi. Mes premiers patineurs préférés, quand j'ai commencé à m'intéresser au patinage, c'étaient Stéphane Lambiel, Evgeni Plushenko, Mao Asada et Caroline Kotsner. Et puis, maintenant, j'adore Yuzuru, Shoma, Mai et Wakaba. A bientôt !!

Yuzu's decision is understandable and reasonable. Of course we are sad not to be able to see his sublime skating soon... But it's for his health and the health of everyone. It's the most important thing. We support your decision, Yuzu ! And also, congratulations for the submission of his thesis!

...I would never have started to learn Japanese, and with so much passion. I love everything in this language ! ... I would never have started to practice figure skating. When I was a little girl, I used to watch figure skating and dream of being able to glide gracefully on the ice and perform like all those beautiful skaters. But the ice rinks were too far away from my home... After the Pyeongchang Olympics, I thought I should try it at least once... even if I was in my twenties ;-) .I loved it and now I go there almost every week even if the ice rink is not next door. ... I would never have gone abroad to participate in figure skating camps (which allowed me to discover new countries) ! ... I would never have registered on this forum where there are great people ! Thanks Yuzu. :-)

Muchas gracias SitTwizzle ! Recientemente, había visto el video de Kumamon patinando con Yuzu. Qué coincidencia. El vídeo que has publicado me ayudará a entender lo que está diciendo ^^.

It's just so cute ! Yuzu is even wearing his skates! I would like to visit this planet ;-)

Shoma is not forgotten, that's for sure ! :-)

It's not impossible that Shoma is being advised via Zoom. In any case, the Champéry club must get used to this tool (which was used for their live sessions "Keep training", for example).

Thanks for this post. Nice to hear from Mai. I hope that little by little she's getting stronger. And the most important thing is that she's smiling too!

Oh, my God! She's so cute! I'm melting. She's happy to be on ice, like her mom.

Nice video ! His hesitation (?) when he writes katakana ネ (at 0:35) Cute...

Why didn't Alexandra and Alena opt for Mishin's club ? The location of the club is probably a reason? (Although it must be nice to train with a top skater like Plushenko)

Oh, how easy it is! You're so lucky! Personnally, I take the train (1h30 for the outward journey and 1h30 for the return) to get to an ice rink.. So when I'm in the ice rink, I stay there for several hours :-) I tried 2 years ago quads (10 lessons) indoors... less chance of falling than outdoors. I find it harder than ice skating. Moreover, after the lesson, it always took me a lot of time to clean the wheels (remove dust, hair...). Easier to maintain ice skates ^^ and I find more pleasure in this sport. @yuzuangel @FlyingCamel I admire your multi-sport talents :-) a toe waltz... never heard about that I'm sure you will be able to do a toeloop one day ! Courage ! Today I tried it with both hands up, and it actually forces you to get more height. Thats' a good exercice.

Yeah, it was so impressive. It was kind of their "signature", I think.

Well, what a story! It's great to have persevered! Is your skating rink close to where you live? It's not easy to combine passion and work, in terms of schedules. That's why I'm mainly learn on my own with a few classes from time to time and a summer camp each year (except this year because of the corona ) Yes, I can do the bunny hop. The waltz jump, I do it a little bit but it's tiny ! As another jump that I manage more or less it's the toeloop. But here too it's a tiny jump ^^ ... Right now, I'm trying the toeloop with one arm up and two arms up.

3-4 years, great! And you can do several types of jumps? As far as I'm concerned, I have difficulties with the salchow although it's usually one of the easiest jumps (that's what I've been told). I don't dare throw the leg after the three-turn. I don't think it's a medical problem. It's just that I'm not used to do spins, and so I get dizzy quickly ;-)

It's a nice initiative! But you're right : let's hope there aren't too many people... especially as the entrance is free.

Wow! Thank you. I didn't expect that. Great ! I saw clips from that show., but not a lot. I have a feeling I'm not going to be bored for the next few days. At the beginning of 2000', when I was a litte girl, I started to watch figure skating on TV... and it was mostly on French channels... so I discovered the couple of dancers Gwendael and Marina... ^^

I've been skating for almost two years... and I still can't do a good spin :-( . Even on two feet, it's still not optimal. I wish I could train more, but my head hurts quickly with these spins. ^^ I've never used a spinner, except during a camp in Colmar 2 years ago... and frankly I couldn't do anything with it ^^ (worse than on the ice). When you talk about backward spins, you impress me! How long have you been skating? @FlyingCamel You're right, roller skating is more economical ;-) . Because in addition to the entrance fee to the ice rink, there are also the transport costs (if the ice rink is far from your home). But what wouldn't we do for ice skating ? ;-)

:-)
