I want to go, but Japans borders are still closed and I don't know about the covid situation. Don't want to get stuck with tickets or plane tickets that I can't use. What are yall planning??? I guess we'll have to see what happens after the Tokyo Olympics with regards to the COVID situation in Japan.... hope the event doesn't cause a spike in cases. Link to comment
Pammi Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Sigh....just checked ISU website re assignments - and noticed for SKAM the text says THREE TIME world champion Nathan Chen, and for NHK it says Olympic Champion Yuzuru Hanyu - not TWO TIME OLYMPIC CHAMPION!!!! Here we go again arrrgggghhhhh!!!!! Link to comment

barbara Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Well, my plans for the upcoming season just went to hell. NC at SCI? He just ruined it for me. Sure - he gets to pick two close cities because he won last year's Worlds (unfair scoring, as we all know), but... ISU is about to find out what a huge mistake they've made by choosing who they thought would be the popular guy and making everything easy for him and not backing the GOAT. Disappointment hardly describes how I feel. My only hope of seeing Yuzu skate live again is if he does go back to TCC (and I hope he does, for this training and not just for me) and does ACI or possibly Nebelhorn or Finlandia that I could possibly get to. For those who aren't aware, trying to get tickets to any FS event in Japan is a near impossibility for anyone not in Japan or knowing someone in Japan. So NHK and the Final are out. And Russia requires a visa. And it has to be applied for and secured in advance - not that I want to go to a country that has paid such disregard for their athletes' health. So Russia is out. No Yuzu for me. I am crying. Link to comment

I agree with everything you say...but after dismissing it immediately I have already done a u turn and am already considering it even though every cell in me is screaming NOOOOOOOOOO......but then......YUZU (plus I love Russian audiences - so enthusiastic, noisy, knowledgeable, and they LOVE Yuzu so much!)

KendallKlaire Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Perhaps this is shallow of me but I'm going to be REALLY curious how the crowd at SCI compares to 2019. I know the ladies competition is stacked which is why it may draw a crowd, but the men? I wonder how many people are willing to fly to Canada to watch SCI in person without Yuzu there...

yuzuonice Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Not to cause panic but we should start saving any unlisted videos we don't have in our archive yet! Link to comment

(since they are unlisted after all) I'm right now looking through our lists for ice shows, i'm clicking on all links from YT and checking, if they're unlisted I add them to a separate YT list that I'll download stuff from and save into our archive. ll do it up until 2018: Maybe someone wants to join and make a playlist of unlisted videos for Junior Competitions, Senior competitions, and Documentaries?
