So happy for him!

Okay I have to conserve energy to not die before my darling so I will be brief. After Kyueun retired the hope of a Korean pairs team died. If Hyejin hadn't appeared literally out of nowhere it still would be dead. And because while Steven was an actual good person his back did not hold up the hope is not quite alive. That hope is what I grieve. And until we get a steady pairs team that can qualify for the Olympic team event I will feel that void. And maybe I'm a bad person but being pissed at M. Deschamps does not disturb my inner peace, it's not like I'm angry that he won gold today. He will be a bad person to me but I accept that there will be people I will not be happy with.

At this point in time, I doubt Max has anything to do with the hope of a pair team in korea. Their split happened several years ago.
On top of that, Canada is doing so much for the Korean team event chances Maybe, with the wonderful talent in singles we see in the junior ranks in Korea, that Korea should build their own pairs instead of counting on Canadian men

I need to save my energy for my new adopted son too

Really solid skate by Shun, but I just do not connect with his skating at all. I appreciate his quality jumps and good basics, but I just find that he doesn't perform at all. I almost always end up zoning out when he skates, despite my best efforts to focus.

YES WESLEY!!
ahhh i've been waiting for a back2back performance like this for him!! well done wesley <3 <3

I agree he is getting better and is learning to move on from mistakes and not impode if the program is not going perfectly. I think he could make top 10 if skates clean at worlds.

That was not the best artistic skate Shun has ever produced. However, he has learned to skate clean. I'm so happy for him. His skating skills are really incredible and he does listen to music. Needs to learn to be more extraverted in his performance. He's still my fave...

 

[4everchan]

BAHAHAHA... i just got a delivery tracker notification for groceries supposed to arrive tomorrow morning.. well.. it's already tomorrow morning now... LOL sigh...

It's called professional courtesy and yes, when they lack it I'll judge them too.

Y'all, I am confused, did they go back to drawing between groups? Because last year they went in reverse order of where they placed after the short if that makes any sense. Probably not it's 5:30 am

Yes, they went back to drawing this year. Your questions make sense even at 5:30.

They did!

I know @CaroLiza_fan doesn't like it, but I'm not sure what the general opinion is. It seems to be within reason though...like I've never seen the skater currently in 1st place go 1st in the last group or anything like that.

YUMA!!!!!!!!! One minor blip but he will break 300 for the second time ever and win his first ever major senior international title! This is exactly where you want to be heading into Worlds: a new quad landed, one mistake across the programs to improve on, and momentum heading in.

[peese]

Damn the boy is good!!

 

[elektra blue]

i'm speechless

 

[anonymoose_au]

Yuma delivers!

I've got everything crossed for Jun though! I hope he can keep it together! Get on the podium, Jun-liet!

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Yuma is on fire!
Ive missed him so much last season, so nice seeing him back on top shape again.
