And Javi almost but not quite has Brian's landing position. All the landing positions skaters have, Brian's has always been my favorite. But you know who else is starting to give me serious Brian-like vibes on the ice? Julian Yee. Since he started working with Brian's old coach Doug Leigh, Julian's picked up Brian's old jump prep pose... although I hope it's only a phase and he can move on to making his jumps integrate more seamlessly into his choreo.

You know, I find it interesting how Shoma always has a multitude of costumes but Yuzu sticks to the same two for the full season. Shoma's definitely a fashion kid. His choices aren't necessarily bold, but they're varied and interesting. Well, we know our little ninja perfectionist. He gives his performances everything. His costumes have to fit the theme and the music and the costume and the skating are just puzzle pieces meant to be presented together, so he wouldn't change that, unless it's necessary (like 2014 POTO).

Well yes. It only emphasizes even more how he's doing something different from all the other skaters. Meanwhile, Nathan has made a choice in a different direction. By having all those super-similar, kind of generic costumes, he can go from program to program and season to season without having to make a lot of artistic choices that way, and can free up his mind to just focus on the skating and competing. I'm not sure I agree with the approach but I can certainly admire the thinking behind it. It reminds me of Steve Jobs always wearing black turtlenecks so that he doesn't have to waste decision-making energy on something trivial. Two totally different approaches - the busy athlete (Nathan) and the artiste who is also an athlete (Yuzu). Link to comment

Just once... buying the tickets but not going in the arena, staying outside to great the arriving skaters but leave all the seats empty... I know it would be sad for the skaters, but maybe, just maybe that could have at least a tiny medial impact... Link to comment

Misha gets a mention and then you have to scroll waayy down to find just a mere few for Nathan. I feel kinda bad for the guy tbh. The unscrupulous judging wasn't his fault. Link to comment

Flutterby Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Random question for the native Japanese speakers: Do you have an equivalent gesture for sarcastic air quotes? Like I thought the judging at Saitama was "perfect" when I mean it was the total opposite. https://tenor.com/view/quotation-marks-chris-farley-air-quotes-supposedly-quote-gif-6227358 Link to comment
