Guest turquoiseblue Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 A message from Sofía Val: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZUzqcBoG2d/ Quote Hello everyone! Nikita and I will no longer be skating together. I have learned a lot from this experience together, with many ups and downs. It hasn’t ended the way it should have, but I am still grateful for everything. I am so excited for what the future holds for me, and to find someone that shares the same passion, love and dedication for this sport under the Spanish flag. Thank you to everyone that supports me, specially my coaches @arribert_karine @violettazvv @mahlc @vdlpatinage and the Spanish Federation @fedhielo @fmdinv 🇪🇸 See you all soon! ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turquoiseblue Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Article on Smart and Díaz: Olivia Smart y Adrián Díaz, a por el Top 10 olímpico DeepL translation Quote In Tallinn (Estonia) they proved that they were the strongest Hispanic duo by obtaining the best place in history for a Spanish dance couple at a European Championships: fourth (Hurtado and Jalyavin finished sixth). Moreover, they won the selection process by no less than 13.33 points. Their exercises, especially the free dance of "The Mask of Zorro" were among the favourites of fans, specialised press and judges. "Between the pressure and the pandemic, it has been a physically and mentally exhausting season, but we can now say that we have made it, that we are going to the Olympic Games. Fourth place, which is a better result than we expected, was the icing on the cake," said a very excited Olivia Smart. Quote Smart and Díaz travel to Beijing in the best form of their sporting careers and after beating their personal bests, which are currently the Spanish records in the dance category. A solid performance can be expected from them, which will lead them to finish among the top 10 duos at the Olympic Games. A result that, if repeated at the World Championships (21-27 March in Montpellier, France), would give our country the coveted two places. This would put an end to the "fratricidal battle" of Spanish dance. "Our goal is to reach the Olympic and World Top 10, but more than that, to skate as we do every day in training", hopes Adrián Díaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest turquoiseblue Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Update on Sara & Kirill: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turquoiseblue Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Sara has posted a message on Instagram, thanking people for their concerns and speaking out against the war. She mentions Oleksandra Nazarova and Maksym Nikitin, too. (They are stuck in their hometown Kharkiv, which is currently under fierce attack.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CanktD_oIIp/ DeepL translation Quote My to-do list for the last week says it all... And even with all the anguish and fear it has entailed, I can only feel privileged: 1- Because I have a home to return to. 2- I have the opportunity and the means to do so. 3- Because today I can mark it as done. So many people are being left behind who can't say the same as it breaks my heart💔. THANK YOU to all of you who have written asking how we are doing. To tell you the truth, these have been the most distressing days of my life. Now, I ask that all the love and energy you have been sending me be directed to Ukraine and all its people who need it so much more. 🙏🏼 This is terrifyingly wrong whichever way you look at it, I can't believe there was no other option before playing with innocent lives... This is not the Russia I know..... Sport is the only place where there should be sides, winners and losers, competition... And look, even there we sportsmen are able to create friendships that will last a lifetime... In war nobody wins, only loses. The life of a human being should always be above any conquest. I encourage you to help in whatever way you can. Close friends like @aleksandralfs and @maxxxnik are still there locked up, relatives of many others are also in a conflict zone, nobody knows how to get out of there... Solidarity, empathy, compassion and kindness to everyone these days please. And again, THANK YOU ♥️ ...Especially to poor Vice Consul (Carmen, you're the best) who has put up with my daily stream of messages and calls. 😅🤘🏼 My strength these days goes with them💔🇺🇦💪🏽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pammi Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Just reading the posts above from Sara....such compassionate words, and clearly expressing the horror of war and total lack of justification for it. But I came here for trivial reasons - I just have to ask if anybody other than me thinks Charles Leclerc looks so like Javi???!! I can't get over it in some photos...the clip in this tweet when it's frozen at the beginning it really looks like Lewis is giving Javi a congratulatory pat on the back lol!

Pammi Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 @turquoiseblue Well Charles is only 24 now so when you look at early 20s Javi, they are both quite cute imo!! I know now I will always be reminded of Javi when I see Charles though. Cant imagine Javi as an F1 driver, and can't see Charles as a figure skater!!

I've never watched F1 and I know nothing about it and its drivers including him. His resemblance to Javi is just amazing I imagine that there might be someone, somewhere, who looks exactly like Yuzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
