Coaching team approaches/workload

It's interesting how language shifts.

We usually talk about a "server" now instead of a "waiter" because "server" is considered non-gender-specific and "waiter" is considered male. But for performers, "actor" seems to be switching from gender-specific to non-gender-specific.

And I don't think the police would infer anything from the use of the word "guy". They ask witnesses for many more details about what/who they saw: age? height? clothing? weight? male or female or can't tell? any obvious tattoos? I know because I was once questioned about a hit-and-run on a parked car. Every bit of information had to be pried out of me, one painful question at a time.

No Tursynbaeva? I would imagine if Gabby mentioned Jun, she would mention Tursynbaeva as well...

Anyways, at TCC, it seems that Gabby is pretty positive about the move. The ladies should be fine. But the men...

That would support the rumour about her leaving and maybe switching to pairs. Of course, we'll need some kind of confirmation like an announcement or changes in her bio, etc.

I don't really have that much more worry about the the men, chemistry-wise. It's just that the men have been more of a focus recruitment-wise and therefore there are more personalities to integrate that may be competing against each other. I also have faith that the superb coaching team who successfully navigated Oly year full of tension and injury can handle the big changes that come early in the quad. I am sure there will be some bumps, but they are flexible enough to adjust to the needs of the individual skaters.

Honestly, I'm not that worried about the men. Jason wants to train with top skaters, Yuzuru is the top dog and he gets along with Boyang pretty well (and Jun seems to get along with Yuzu and Boyang too).

And I agree it sounds like they navigated some bumps with Javi and Yuzu and it turned out fine.

Consider at Gadbois that Madison Hubbell and Gabrielle Papadakis are very close. I expect a pretty similar relationship with the men at TCC.
