Good to hear. Ryuichi has always been the "strong" one, being happy and positive when Riku is so despondent at the end of a performance if things aren't perfect. Maybe this will give Riku a chance to reflect on her emotional role with the team and giving him some positivity.The Japanese team doctor will provide an update on RikuRyu sometime today, so I will keep you all updated on what they have to say. Hopefully everyone is healthy and Ryuichi has recovered fully. I can't imagine the roller coaster of emotions the team experienced, I'm sure they were thrilled to put out a good skate, disappointed to lose a title that was so close, and then to have the fear and worry about Ryuichi has to be a very difficult experience. I thought it was very sweet and admirable that the team was disappointed to be unable to congratulate Deanna and Max, and sent their coach Bruno to the press conference to do just that.
I believe her husband, Walter, retains the title of oldest ever gold medalist (unless I’m forgetting someone?). They won their last World title in 1923! I’ve seen video of their skating, and they epitomized “two skating as one.” Unlike the Austrians and the French, who were all about the tricks. Yes, that controversy raged in pairs skating even a hundred years ago.Deanna took the title being the oldest gold medal lady winner ever from a Finn, Ludowika Jakobsson (who in was originally German).
I don't remember the Guys and Dolls song! It sure does sound like SOMEBODY was copying.
There's a series of thrillers by David Young about a female police detective in East Berlin in the 1970s. The heroine frequently mentions her training in her teens as an elite ski jumper, and her regret that she wasn't able to compete in the Olympics because women weren't allowed. (It made it simpler for the author in that he didn't have to go into a lot of researched detail whenever she reminisced, just the flying feeling of down the hill and off the ramp.)I'm from Bavaria. Never ever have I met anyone who does bobsleighing, or ski jumping for that matter. Maybe you have to be from one if the smaller cities right next to the alps?

From the distant past to the potential future: I thought I spotted Beau Callahan in the crowd congratulating Deanna and Max as they did their victory lap.
I absolutely adored this pairs competition and I really loved the makeup of the podium as all 3 pairs were so deserving of their placement. My biggest sadness is that Italy did not achieve their goal of attaining 3 pairs slots for next season. I was really sad not to see Rebecca and Filippo have an opportunity to compete here.
If he is as capable a coach as he is a pair skater, the future of Canadian pairs skating looks bright indeedBeau trains with Max, he coaches them
I'm older therefore carbon dated.Italian commentator spelled out Deanna's birthdate as if she belonged in a nursing home. I'm about the same age, I feel old now.
lol, I will be 46 in May, so I guess I can be roommates with Deanna in the nursing home.I'm older therefore carbon dated.
Ah, but stars are carbon datedI'm older therefore carbon dated.
I have seen him coach the twist.. He loves coaching the twist (it was with Emy and Bryan) At CQE he was helping Beau and partner with the lift.If he is as capable a coach as he is a pair skater, the future of Canadian pairs skating looks bright indeed
If you were carbon-14 dated today, it would come out that you are hundreds of years old. This is because of the release of ancient carbon into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels (also by testing atom bombs in the 1950s and 60s).I'm older therefore carbon dated.
Ahem did you have to give my age away??? IMHO carbon-dated is the new middle age.If you were carbon-14 dated today, it would come out that you are hundreds of years old.

Anyway, I guess the bottom line is, in ladies' pairs skating 40 is the new 14.
Ahem, I prefer entre deux ages. lolAhem did you have to give my age away??? IMHO carbon-dated is the new middle age.
