Donovan's IG post on his amazing time and results at Worlds, he had as good a time as we did.

It was the first time his parents had ever seen him skate outside Mexico

And he ended the post with
Feels good to bring sexy back ;)

We know, Donovan, we know

Donovan has talked about enjoying skating again, and I found this post from his mental coach Julieta Juan's which I found to be really nice.

The transformation we aspire for.. since day 1 till now... it was great. We broke the working format and I appreciate the format for allowing me to enter you, giving me your trust and being able to have created changes to the bone. It's totally satisfying to see your development, to see how we transformed that look to that fire.. what i promised to get in you. Give you back elevated emotions and the joy of lying down and being you... in what you have as a gift. Good work of the soul... thank you for giving me the opportunity to train your heart your mind and your body to reflect.. how great it is... from the heart.

Work for you.. grow up and BE! It's what leads us to create magic, the happiness of doing what we love and VIBRATE what we feel inside, dance with music make you one with ice... make with the body with every movement all the energy flows.. to create, resonate and find.

Happiness brought to the soul.. and surrender daily even in pain, outside your country from your family.. like many other athletes and people.. to conquer a dream. And you have all the tools to create that magic surrender to you and make your body.. perform better and better feats. I promised you.. we made it to see you smile and shine.. Never give up on you.. and go for more!!

i want to point out that Donovan has the best A spin ever (butt spin) as you can see here

the head is right to the leg and it does create a very nice position unlike many of the similar type of spin

You mean this?

You mean this?

it is indeed the one I time stamped. The last position is usually called an A spin or a butt spin... I'd be surprised if it were renamed... it's been around for ages but Donovan does it better than anyone.

Donovan got invited to "Gold on ice" show in Virginia. His first invite to a show I think, and the first of many I hope. Sad I won't be able to go.

Congratulations for Donovan of his first Ice show invite of his ameteur career. There will be more to come (I just hope that he'll get a spot at the NHK Trophy next season since there are Japanese fans who are still waiting for him especially to those who watched him during his time as a junior at the JGP Osaka)

New choreographers for Donovan: going to IAM to work with Romain H. and company (including, according to his thank you, current competitive ice dancer Saulius A?

Going from one famous choreographer (Benoit) to another, but staying Francophone. Of course, IAM is considerably closer to his training base.

Between his and Jason Brown's news, are we sure we're not into April Fools? It's not that I would dislike it, it's just that I'm so surprised!
