meh, I've come to expect very little of these group numbers at competitions to be honest. They have so little time to train the choreo, and pretty much everyone is exhausted anyway and uses their last bit of energy to have fun with the other puppies. I usually cut them some slack here.

My sentiment exactly. It's another thing to expect good individual number for gala, it's rather too, err, what's a word that wouldn't hurt people's feelings but accurate, unrealistic, let's go with that one, I believe, to expect a good group number, with what little time (and remember this was still rather early in the morning, plus the ladies couldn't join until the final rehearsal and two team performers couldn't be there) they had. Also, if you want the group number to be totally amazing, chances are, you'd have to sacrifice all those cute moments due to them goofing off during practice. Pick one people, we cannot have it all.

Yup, he always uses gloves when hydroblades are involved 

I’m pretty sure he doesn’t wear gloves for Chopin

No gloves for Chopin, but also none for 2014 Change and fingerless for Hello I love you. Aside of that always I think? With the exception of ACL seimei of course

I wonder whether the lift was Yuzu or Ondrej's idea this time and how it came about... did Yuzu approach him like "hi, could you please lift me up again at the gala, but higher this time?"

Yuzu's but Ondrej went with it right away he seriously should have expected that since they tried it on the first day of practice...

Bless you guys for the gala videos. And love you guys for being my companion throughout this Olympics 

About gala, I was waiting in the end if they gonna do it like sochi when Yuna Kim was promoting Pyeongchang and they'll get Boyang or Sui Han to do that, but nooo, and also was waiting if Yuzu gonna skate to something with the fan (one can hope). But anyway swanyu today was a gift that will keep with me during the dry times ahead.

I don't speak Italian, so please anyone who does correctly me if I'm wrong.

Marchei basically wrote: "Yuzu is enjoying being lifted by my partner. It's indeed great to see the world from up there. What a marvellous personality you have, Yuzu, a very sweet Olympic champion."

I feel so empty now. I can't believe it's already over

 My guessing game is on point. I am blaming thanking Max Ambessi and Angelo Dolfini (sp?) for my brain absorbing some Italian words.

wrong thread sorry

Just to translate what Valentina wrote in Italian: "Yuzu is starting to enjoy being lifted by my partner.. indeed, seeing the world from up there is a bliss. What a wonderful character you are, Yuzu, the sweetest Olympic Champion!"

Hug with Ondrej
