So someone must have been very drunk. Hope they find the prankster!

Or maybe wishful thinking on someone's part

I questioned it from the beginning when the link wouldn't even take me there. And English CBC would've jumped on that news like chicken on a bug if it had been true.

I'm wondering if it was a hack.

The funny thing is that they phoned Brian to check up on this news and Brian denied it, of course.

Glad to know Radio-Canada still does their fact-checking...just not in a timely fashion.

I wonder if choreo has something to do with it ? She was like dying swan skating the stsq. 

 

This music is from Act 3 of Tosca - she needs to look like a dying swan.  She doesn't just die, she dies dramatically, tragically.

Please. Misha already did it. I'm almost sure it is Zazura in background.

 

Yuzu looks like he's just checking out the ice and is going to skate next; no, this is something else:  great PR to increase her PCS.  Great PR!

Of course they don't. If they even had that kind of money, there's other things they would spend it on.

Just curious, is Worlds selection normally done via Coaches' council in Russia. When we say RusFed decides, it essentially means the coaches decide?

I think so. 30 something coaches voted, and I know Eteri and Mishin were among them. I think there's a list somewhere of everyone who was on the council.
