Moving away from Russian Drama for a bit... Some Boyang News!

 

It might just a side function of wechat and weibo. Both have access to your geonavigation program for your phone, and if you post pictures etc on wechat at least, you can opt to allow the app to show your location.  I've never used it to track people though.

 

Honestly, if not even long term, I'd be really happy to see a spidey, wakabond, Yuzu, Medo all smiling when training in summer at TCC.

Wonder if there's going to be an interview with Yuzu for Boyang-will Boyang be Yuzu's new training partner for the short term?

He's getting a little better at the ninjaing. :biggrin: He was spotted, but he's not all over everything. Baby steps, Boyangman!

When he gets to TCC, he can finally learn from the best at Ninjaing. And then he and Yuzu can help each other take trolling to a whole new level.

Boyang's trolling would be very entertaining. Gold jackets and weird dances...

Gold jackets, gold blades, gold sneakers?

Of all the skaters, Boyang would probably be the skater to join Yuzu in an on-ice rendition of the Koi Dance.

SAME. I'm constantly sneaking peaks at the Planet from a corner of the workshop I'm at. Feeling very unprofessional. :laughing:

All that gold, Boyang could be his new puppy. :P What's better than sleepy puppy for Yuzu? Why, a GOLD one!

I have iced coffee, so the beverages are covered.

On a serious note, Eteri really didn't help things- when she went on national TV she had a chance to reduce the explosion and settle it down a bit. Instead, she just made it explode a bit more.

After that interview, I'm guessing all parents are looking at options now. Medvedeva was Eteri's favorite for a long long time-if she can do that to her favorite, what will happen if your child is not Eteri's favorite and decides to part ways? It's not like she held back punches for Adian or Yulia.  Medvedeva leaving, and followed by Moris, and maybe Polina too, it opens options for other skaters in camp Eteri.

 

If she wanted to stop the bloodshed she should have not said anything negative on TV, and at least openly state and do something that indicates she's considering senior women and how to work on skater longevity-whether that's bringing in more coaches, allowing seminars overseas etc, short term technical training (like Kolyada's team). Anything like that would have made her sound much better now and helped contain the mess. But no, instead she's established as a coach who helps take juniors to the initial stages of seniors, but afterwards, has no plan for when a skater hits 18 (or puberty for that matter). And that's a strong impression that won't change easily- as most skaters and parents if they can, would plan around it. And that leads to a vicious cycle as she won't be given a chance.  If I were her, I'd go beg Tarasova or Moskvina for advice on this-just even on a consultancy basis. But nope, she probably won't do that.

Guys, Yuzu is the one born on the year of the dog. Boyang is born on the year of the ox. Ironically, Brian is also year of the ox.

Just saying.

Yuzu and Brian will be Boyang's oxen?

 

Strong as an ox, they say. No, I'm trying too hard now. :laughing:
