Looks like the pairs are back on the ice, carefully staying, according to Trennt Michaud, 2 meters apart. Gonna make training lifts and throws a bit tricky, although it looks like Mike has a plan. It's also a gravity optional day for Keegan, apparently . ice dancers also back on the ice: Including some honorary Canadians: Did Olivia and Adrian stay here the whole time? Does anyone know? Katia Kurokova is also back on the ice, but the rink isn't TCC so I'm wondering if she's still over in Europe...not sure what her home base is, whether Poland or Russia. https://twitter.com/FSIgstories/status/1273284463783526400?s=20 I don't understand why pairs and ice dancers should stay 2m apart. It is like close family, it is well traceable in case one should catch it... It is not the same as coach/student, as a coach has many students, or a hockey team.

sweetwater Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Asher Hill is going to join skateproud's live-chat I've been waiting for Asher to join this sort of project and share his experiences in a conversation with someone willing to listen... instead of news show hosts that constantly cut him off mid-sentence since I watched a live-chat between Mae and Kiira. I think, in his situation, sharing his experiences and being understood would help a lot. I've watched some of the other live-chats hosted by skateproud (the ones invited Jorik, Amber, and Jordan) and Raya has been doing a very good job. The chats were inclusive and done in a relaxed manner and giving us chances to know the guests more as athletes and as people. (Honestly, I admire Raya for doing this by using a second language for him...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SitTwizzle Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 The Soap Opera seems to have taken a new turn. We are awaiting reactions from Ice-chan, Floor-chan and, of course, Yuzuru-kun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstaryuzu Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I don't know why but her doing this makes me feel uneasy. It shouldn't, but it does. It makes me feel like she's not planning to stick around skating very much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EisElle Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 it does make me uneasy, but for a different reason - a beauty context isn't exactly where I hoped to see her next, after her previous eating disorders and issues with her body image. Sure, it might be that she's taking on this challenge because she now feels confident in her body, and if that's the reason, kudos to her, but... idk, I'm just worried that this might be, instead, her way to search for confirmation. She is gorgeous and she is worthy inside out, and I hope she knows, and she believes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is gorgeous and she is worthy inside out, and I hope she knows, and she believes this I agree. I hope she's just doing it for fun and doesn't take the results too seriously. My mom loves watching beauty pageants, and I used to watch them all the time with her when I was a youngster. There's even more politicking that goes on in pageants than in FS. I remember Miss USA always made it into the top 10, and usually the top 3 or 5. It's like they reserved a spot for her already. The judging panel was pretty fakey too, with one or two random celebrities thrown in. I haven't watched in decades though, so maybe things have changed, but it doesn't sound like it if you have to pay to vote! It's been tough for Gabby, and I want her to just have fun with this and not take things to heart if the results turn out not to be what she is hoping for.

Quick correction: that's _Conrad_ and Joseph jumping, not Bruce. Bruce is the one cheering them on at the end. Bruce is in ID, which is why I hurried over to look at the video in surprise Regardless, it's lovely to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SitTwizzle Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 An old video from CBC ("Who Dis?") featuring Nam Nguyen after last Skate Canada, how it was to skate after Yuzuru Hanyu, and his projects then. The sound is not very good on his side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
