I mean, that's the one part of the globe they never get to travel to, even though they travel all the time. I'm sure a lot of them are just like us and want to see Australia. But athletes usually just go to comps, not to see a country. Though of course some (if they're not Yuzu) usually go for a walk around hotel, I met Montreal ice dance team in the center of Torino during my evening sightseeing. And Australia is really long flight for most, so not sure if team leaders would show up, though a lot still would, especially those who can't make it to the World team.

And yet, Kelowna was crawling with sightseeing skaters the whole five days. Remember that the skaters aren't sitting in the rink from one end of the day to the other the way the fans are. They only need to show up for their own practices and events and otherwise their time is free, so they actually have more opportunity to sightsee than a fan paying for an all-event ticket would have. Agree that it's a long flight, though. Still, with Worlds having been cancelled this year, and other comps at the start of the season likely to be cancelled as well, 4CC 2021 would be seen as a crucial opportunity to get competition experience in in the run-up to Beijing. So if it does get cancelled, any remaining competitions that get held will have high importance for the skaters no matter where they hold them. I keep waiting for the ISU to discover Iceland. It would be so awesome to go there for a FS competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An open-air ice competition! With hot well baths between ice sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the time we get to watch Yuzu he's skating in an arena with boards filled with ads and all... wouldn't it be beautiful to see him skate in a nice frozen lake in the middle of beautiful scenery? I know this isn't happening but just... imagine Imagine watching Notte Stellata on a frozen lake in a middle of a dark forest under a starry night sky and full moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe Iceland actually does have a proper rink or two: https://www.whatson.is/where-to-go-ice-skating-in-reykjavik/. So no need to be outside! Natural ice is great but not safe for figure skating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope they'll announce ahead, so there will be time to change to other country maybe. But we must see what will happen in the fall first.

Sombreuil Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 The ‘most valuable skater’ award - reminds me of some of the interviews/comments we read that have made it through several translations, for example English to Japanese to Russian, and end up garbled in meaning. Its probably not the case here because if it were I expect some of our multilinguists would have worked it out, but that’s how it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katt Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I dont want Yuzuru to win any award, because its nonsense. But given how desperate ISU is and how they put him in trailer several times, he might. Whatever, I hope fans won't give this any click, view, reply, silence is the best way to react. Remember when they change the gala into this award after selling ticket and scream about sold out ticket = fans like this award. Do not discuss, do not fight about this no matter who's gonna win, do not give them traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This said I had hope for some sort of recognition for choreographers and /or costume designers...people who works back stage in general but it's the usual popularity contest and it totally lacks respect for skaters and their team.

I can see certain people would be like "ISU isn't against Yuzuru, they give him the awards", the same old with JSF. I hope fans won't come and reply under ISU's tweets. If you can't help but to discuss, do it while locking your twitter for a few days. By that way, ISU can't see the discussion and can't put it in their stats.
