I agree with that. But I can see him doing one without a harness possibly.

What is the most shoking news of this crazy off season so far?

 

[TallyT]

Does tomorrow count? Because I do think a figure skater getting the highest award his country can give a sportsman really ought to count as worthy....

 

[GGFan]

Thank you so much for this thread! I've been on a much needed figure skating hiatus/sanity break and this was a great way to start getting myself back up to speed. I guess I came back right in time for Daisuke

Medvedeva switching to Orser, CoC moving to Finland and Takahashi's return.

nothing is impossible! Next if Orser says he wants to unretire to compete against his students I would be like: Kay, congrats!

All of them. It's been a crazy off season and doesn't seem to have calmed down yet.

Honesty. I have so much to update on this thread when I get back from my trip. It’s only been a few days, but the news keeps on coming

Well I thank you because I don't have the chance at the moment to spend a great deal of time reading the boards, so to have all the off season news gathered together like this is A Wonderful Thing.

Hey IceBallerina,

Thanks for compilng the information for this thread and you are doing a great job at updating the OP . May I make one suggestion? If you have time, perhaps you can start embedding links to threads (if one exists) as part of the text for the news/highlight items. It can easily direct posters to read/participate in the discussions.

For example:

FUN AND WORTHY MENTIONS
...
• Daisuke Takahashi to Return to Competition

What do you think?

 

[xeyra]

• Quad Axel race by Yuzuru Hanyu and Artur Dmitriev Jr.

You should probably add Keegan Messing there too.

This is a lovely idea! I will definitely find the time in the next few days to do that. Thank you
