If everyone does their best, the sport moves forward. That's how records get broken in swimming. That's how Yuzu imagined and developed the quality of his transitions. That's how he endeavours for the 4A. 

Exactly! To me, this is idea forms part of the basis of good sportsmanship.

This is literally not taking into consideration the fact that most of Asia (especially China where his fanbase is huge) don't primarily use Google....

Missed the 2019 FaOI party due to a headache, but the TV looks awesome! Must be nice to be able to chat using familiar emojis and without logging in another site 

 

Oh, I was watching on mobile due to tech problems and couldn't see the chat... but it looks cool!

So I know there isn't a cancellation from Skate Canada about ACI 2020, but did they sell any tickets? Usually they sold them in June but no email notice from them. I might just go to Skate Canada International 2020 in Ottawa since I am not risking the trip to ACI 2020. When do tickets for Skate Canada International go on sale if they choose to do so (pricing?)?

Sorry, does anyone remember reading that Dick Button, when discussing Yuzu's 2014 OGM, said he had fallen during one of his Olympic wins? I can't recall where I saw it, but would like to find it for a discussion elsewhere Yes, I'm evil.

About the folks who say they're only watching figure skating for Yuzu (aka, they're only watching Yuzu)

1. Don't you think that this would make him sad? He loves figure skating so much and wants us all to enjoy it in all it's many forms and has said so in interviews. 

Even Zuzu can't force me to enjoy the entirety of FS, not after I've learned how it's supposed to happen and see how much the reality deviates from that. 

I used to be in the camp of people who question those who only watch for Yuzu. I am one of them now*. And I no longer care what anyone thinks about that. Not even Yuzu, sorry Zuzu.

 

*I still have, maybe 5 other skaters I care about, and I watch for them too. The rest, eh. 

Cherry Blossom Fairy saying thank you in the sweetest way.

 

 

Kevin's reaction is gold XD

I find it a bit strange this newspaper interviewed her, it's a tabloid magazine that stalked Yuzu in the past.

 

@Aydmen  a season calendar for 2020/2021 that will contain photographs from Sunao Noto is scheduled to be released on 18 September. But it seems it'll only be limited and you have to apply for it until 24 July.
