^^^I could deal with that too! Nice quick flight! Isn't that the one Yuzu has done several times?

But I'll wait to see who's going first before making any plan. I don't think this GP will suck as much as GPF in Marseille did, tho (impossible to do worse, anyway). At least, FFS finally got a new sponsor...Nooo..don't feel that way! It's not your fault, Pika! I mean, I have no idea if it was really that bad. It's just hearsay, and even if it was, Shoma did good whenever he skated in France!

Well, I did feel bad for all the figure skating fans, esp. since France is capable of organizing great sport events... but with such loosy federation, it's next to impossible.I know... But it's always sad when you only hear critics about an event, that was kind of "your event". We, french people or at least my relatives, are always enthusiastic because we love having competitions in our country, even with the flaws, and the terrible Fed we have. And it's disappointing when you can't share it with other people that's all... It may seem selfish because I know the GPF was a disaster... I have trouble expressing how I feel lol. But it's okay.
Really ? Who's the new sponsor ?
synesthesia, I loved magicaleggplant's review of the Loco program. It was great to see that she chronicled how it grew over the season. What a program. I also followed the link she posted to her earlier Skate America review and was surprised to see that I was in her photo she had posted of herself (where she has an eggplant covering her face!). Thank goodness I was holding up my Kindle and it blocked most of my face!![]()
(Now that I know what your lavender blouse looks like I'll try to spot it on TV next time, hihi!)@synesthesia
Yes, thank you. That review is really good. I don't think it's rude or something, she's just brutally honest. As we all are, because we want Shoma to improve. I think it's more than okay, to say this is something I don't like. Like I disliked LOCO before as well.
i did a video preview for Shoma's winter : https://youtu.be/0op0-ctPW1A
also Shoma apparently said to a fan that he had not learnt all the choreography for Turandot LP so it is gonna be a new version![]()
ACI is the GP competition I like the least, I wouldn't mind Shoma going there coz it would mean Yuzu won't go at this one, lol.
If GP of France is really in Grenoble, it's good for me since I live in Lyon.But I'll wait to see who's going first before making any plan. I don't think this GP will suck as much as GPF in Marseille did, tho (impossible to do worse, anyway). At least, FFS finally got a new sponsor...

Try not to feel too bad! People were making fun of Sk America's attendance without knowing the facts. Regionals were that weekend (for Nationals qualification) which meant that all skaters, coaches, and their families were out of town for the weekend. Also our baseball team (Chicago Cubs) was in the championship for the first time since 1908. Many people went to the games live, or people go to bars, house parties, church parties, etc. to watch. Bottom line - it was embarrassing, but the attendance was decimated by these 2 events. There may be other reasons why they had problems at the French events. Hard to know what goes on behind the scenes...I'll be anxious to see if Grenoble gets it!
I wonder what SKAM attendance will be this year as well because it's the day after Thanksgiving. I have a ticket (and it's Row A at that) but it'll really depend on who is showing up to determine if I'll go. C'moooon June!

:hap93: Go Lavender Prince! (oops, Guess I can't call him that any more!)^^^I would hope so and would love to have a great turn out. For those who have to fly there, it's kind of a bad weekend. Actually I would love to have both Nathan and Shoma there!
ETA -- Hooray, sounds like the debut of the new programs is coming soon at the May 26-28 Fantasy on Ice shows.![]()

Or Winter Prince! I like that! :luv17:
Some funny chat between Shoma and fans during piw.
Fan: Would it be possible that you skate to a program choreographed by Kanako?
Shoma: No! (Firmly)
Fan: ahhh (Pretend to leave)
Shoma: Absolutely no! (With a devil smile)
Fan: What do you guys think of the message “おつ" that Shoma left to Kanako?
Shoma and Kanako: laugh
Fan: is it always like that?
Kanako: I have really always been looked down upon by him. I am sorry. (Laugh)
Fan (presented two photo books to Kanako which contain photos of Kanako and Shoma): which photo book would you like?
Kanako: the black one, but I think Shoma would prefer the black one, so I will pick the white one then. Shoma would even say "photo with Kanako, I don't need them". He is so annoying.


This is the first year where I kind of pay attention to figure skating in the off-season, and I've got a question to all those veterans. In the Ice-Shows in Japan, like PIW, is it normal that the skaters talk to all the fans? It seems like they are giving presents and fans can engage with them and ask questions and take pictures and all that. How long does that take? And does everyone in attendance get a chance to get so close to their favourite, and do all the skaters stay and receive the love? Thanks for any answer! Cheers!![]()
