New ISU site = super slow to load because of all the new crap they changed to make it even less functional. 

 

 Uh, it's very slow to load. I won't use the site often otherwise my browser would crash every time I open it.

 

I'm glad the ISU website has been redesigned. It's easier to navigate now. The social media hub is annoying, though 

 

ETA: I just blocked the social media hub 

Updated with new Discussion link to the official ACI event thread as well as link to the Skate Canada Dailymotion channel, for the official ACI stream.

Also updated all Challenger Series links ISU's new site broke ().

Added results page link for Lombardia and US Classic.

Handy schedule table for all the events happening this coming week (all times JST):

- Ondrej Nepala Trophy

- Autumn Classic International

- JGP Belarus

(It's in Japanese though, sorry ^^; but at least can give some indication when there will be events happening.)

 

ETA: Updated with the latest schedules as of Sep 18

 

OMG, 3 competitions happening this week! I need to check who is going to Ondrej that I may want to keep an eye on as well. 

Edit: That's right, this is the event where we have Aliev, Kolyada, Zhenya and Elena! And there will be other interesting skaters there too. Actually, since I'll be missing ACI due to actually needing to sleep by then I'll probably be following Ondrej Nepela. JGP Belarus will be the same ol' streaming issues. Wait, will Ondrej Nepela stream?

God, we'll have JGPS, too! With ACI coming I almost forgot abt everything else ... so there's no time for anything else but FS next weekend!

Looking at the schedule, it's almost like 24 hours of figure skating events next weekend.

Ahahahaha... 

Here's my podium prediction for ACI

We've never had this podium. We may never have it if Patrick and Javi do retire after this season. I can't believe how sad that actually makes me. They were so close at Sochi to it but I wasn't around then so I wouldn't have cared about it this much.

 I think Yuzu might take a hit after that happens as well... after all, he was often seen in their 'same group' even though he is 4 years younger than Javi... so Yuzuru will kind of be the "last one standing" against a hoard of young quadsters putting quads above everything else... I wonder if this might motivate him to actually stay in competition for more years... 

So, we are 5 days close and these are my predictions for Autumn Classic International

Men

1. Yuzuru Hanyu JPN

2. Javier Fernandez ESP

3. Misha Ge UZB

 

 Ladies

1. Mai Mihara JPN

2. Kaetlyn Osmond CAN

3. Elizabet Tursynbaeva KAZ

 

and for Ondrej Nepela Trophy

 

Men

1. Mikhail Kolyada RUS

2. Keiji Tanaka JPN

3. Alexander Samarin RUS

 

Ladies

1. Evgenia Medvedeva RUS

2. Elena Radionova RUS

3. Dabin Choi KOR

Updated ACI and Ondrej Nepela competitions with links to results page as well as schedule for the later. 

ACI schedule has been updated to September 18 version. Please note some events, including Men's SP, moved earlier.
