Ha ha I think Simon might get "Sher-BAK-ova" inscribed on his tombstone at this rate.

Yuzu! Did he steal Nam's shirt?!

In all seriousness though, lovely speech and it so cute how he makes sure to bring Pooh.

 

[Merjan]

Lovely Yuzu and an encore, too.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Awww Pooh is holding the flower!

Encore! Encore!

Kaori's here to slaaaaay!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Kaori reminds me of the emoji so much.

Let's appreciate Katsalapooooov for wearing actual jeans and not jeggings.

And Vika's got some serious sparkles going on there!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Mascot time!

 

[bartlebooth]

Nathan Chen extends his minimalism even to the mask! no sparkles or colours, just a plain white one!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Aww it seems we won't be getting the traditional lifting of the Yuzu.

Well that was fun guys! I'm a bit sad the skating is all over for another season...

I am so sorry. I completely forgot that there was a Gala.

Just so that the links are in the tread for future reference, I'll do a reminder post anyway. But, rather than being a reminder that it is starting, this will be a reminder that it has finished.

Here is the link for the ISU livestream on the ISU YouTube Channel:

Hope this helps

ALL THE BEST EVERYBODY!!!

I am feeling sad, too. It's end of the skating season.

Before it has started, I was skeptical to hold this event in Oosaka, considering the situation of COVID there,
but watching those skaters who were really enjoying to skate in front of real spectators, I thought it wasn't not so bad.
The competition itself was a great fun, anyway.

I hope situation will be better next season.

Worthless piece of information: Thauron's shirt for the Gala was borrowed from Baker's RD.

Russian speakers, what is the correct pronunciation of Anna's last name? The accent on "bak" confuses me. Should the accent be on "bak" or "o?"

Not Russian, but I think it's more like "Sher-ba-KO-va" so it's got four syllables in it not 3.

What was weird was that the rink announcer said it quite clearly with the four syllables, yet Simon kept his pronouncation going

I always thought it would be "Sher-ba-KO-va! Thanks for the clarification.

It reminds me of how to correctly pronounce "Brezina.' I actually asked Michal about that @ 2016, after one of his practice sessions. He said, "Bre-ZIN-a." A lot of the commentators would say "BRE-zin-a." I'll go by Michal's pronunciation!

I'm not Russian either but I think the pronunciation is Sher - bà - ko-va without the accent on the "o", it is just my guess but I remember Maria Sharapova saying that she was fine with being called Sha-ra-pò-va but the right pronunciation should have been Sharàpova.

Anna herself says her last name here:

Fun event.

Ice has to be the strongest element on earth; It was able to withstand Liza and Gaby without melting.

Also, tonight we found out that if Kaori decides to tie you up or beat the hell out of you, she could do both rather easily. So stay on her good side. haha

I don’t remember exactly where, but I saw on Twitter somewhere that Kaori was saying she fights bugs in her apartment!

The whole thing with the correct pronunciation is quite tricky.
For instance, Liza once said that it should be TuktAmysheva, but for Russians it sounds rather odd. So commentators use the more natural TuktamYsheva.
Recently Tuktik said that she doesn't bother anymore with this, feel free to say it as you like.

As for Anna, hopefully Simon corrects himself in the future, cause it really is irritating. And BBC commentators had the same wrong pronunciation.
