Mirai Nagasu Cheer thread: Return to Olympus

Adam is very friendly with everyone, it is not like Ashley is his siamese, it is just they were training mates and they become very close. He was best friend with Yuna when they were with Brian. I remember Yuna fans shipping them :lol:, he was a baby.

I see Adam managed to squeeze in a Drag Race reference there ("Your tone seems pointed", Willam from S04 Untucked). Considering both of them are big fans of that show, I expect a lot of RPDR references from these 2 as the games begin! :D

April 5 (UPI) -- With the Olympic Winter Games and world championships behind her, U.S. figure skater Mirai Nagasu has a little more time for one of her favorite reality shows: RuPaul's Drag Race.

Nagasu, who is on a national tour with Stars on Ice, told UPI in a recent interview about her impressions of the new season -- which continues Thursday -- and some of her favorite queens.

ITA! I'd definitely love to see what Mirai's competitive programs would look like if she could loosen up a bit while still maintaining the necessary focus -- which is easier said than done, I know! And who knows; now that she's been been to Olys again and landed the 3A there, maybe she feels that she could/should focus more on the performance aspect and expression. In one of her interviews (quoted in Sylvia's post last page) she seemed to be saying something along those lines.

But at the same time, if this DWTS gig opens up some nice opportunities outside of competitive skating, she might follow the Shibs' example and take a year off or something. I'm mentally preparing myself for that scenario, too...

During the Olympics, I thought if she went on the show, it would help her tremendously in terms of her PCS score and her competitive mindset. It would help her perform more facially and discover new strengths in her performance. And now that she's had a chance let the disappointment of her post Team performances subside, it should motivate her to achieve more of her dreams.

That is what I am hoping for. I just hope she is able to get everything she can from the show with the short season.
 
I'm so happy for Mirai!! :respec::cheer2::cheer::rockstar::TnD1::BNS1:

Another dream come true for her, making it to DWTS, another goal checked off of the bucket list! :kickass: I only wish she and Adam had been invited to the longer season, but I'll take it! I hope the Shibs make it next time too!

I'm not familiar with Alan (I really don't watch the show unless a skater or gymnast is on it) but I hope he's a good fit for Mirai!

The DWTS athlete season is short but I hope it opens up some other opportunities for Mirai! I want to see her compete again but if not I hope it's because she's got other great opportunities going on! And maybe some more sponsorships!

So I know that the "sign on" payment to contestants for regular seasons of DWTS (at least as of a few years ago) was 125k, and then additional bonuses depending upon how long they stayed on. I wonder how much Adam and Mirai are getting paid for this shortened season format. :COP:

edit: Here's that Entertainment Tonight link from the Oscars where Mirai is talking about I, Tonya and "We really related to it, except for one part of it" bit.

Mirai is so cute in those videos! Now I'm getting a little bit frustrated that the athlete's season is so short! I wish they'd extend it but alas! In any event I hope that Mirai (and Adam!) make it to finals! Adam I'm pretty sure will, he's so popular now! Also, it's certain she and Adam will be asked at some point about Tonya...

Thank you!! I missed their live feed!

I wished Happy Birthday to Mirai on her twitter, FB and IG but I forgot to do so here too! My bad!

Happy Birthday Mirai! :cheer2::rockstar::40beers::respec::cheer2: It's your birthday month so enjoy it and may your birthday wishes all come true!
 
Quotes from both Mirai and partner Alan are in this DWTS article by Lois Elfman: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2018/04/13/272045880/nagasu-rippon-take-center-stage-on-dwts
Nagasu, who labeled herself a terrible dancer, said she's grateful that partner Alan Bersten is tall so they can try lifts.
"He's the best," Nagasu said of Bersten. "To connect with my partner has been a challenge for me, but I don't turn away from a challenge."
"I have never been more excited. We have great potential," said Bersten, who praised Nagasu's work ethic. "I didn't sleep last night because I was thinking of some really cool tricks."
...
"It's nice to be in the off-season but have a new goal already," said Nagasu, who got to meet Harding, the first American woman to land the triple axel, Thursday. "I'm excited to compete against (Tonya)."

Where (city) is this competition taking place and at what time?

I am not a regular DWTS watcher so I have no idea.
