I am proud of Liza, and I am glad to see figure skating behave like a sport at NHK.

Chill multiple times over from Hanyu's Otonal. I never thought I would feel that from skating again as unknowing admiration evolved to examining protocols and watching slow motion video to check rotations.

Maria was the first. Then there was Johnny. I wanted to hate it, but now Hanyu skated great to Otonal too

Being reminded by @IceAlisa which Russian Ladies are the good dancers and the bad dancers. You'd be surprised who never finishes movements and hutches over like a babushka on a cold day in Siberia.

icky = POTO, yucky = Carmen

Gosh! The podium hug between Liza and Evgenia was so warm

I am glad Evgenia came back, and I am glad Liza won

Evegnia picked the 3F with a twisted right foot rather than straight. If was fluke error Brian diagnosed in the K&C. It is the type of error Uncle Dick talked about in the 90s.

Y'all are crazy if you don't recognize how special Liza's final SP spin is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hte6_5kZPm8&feature=youtu.be&t=170

I love having my Liza back!

At the end of SA 2018, I am adding Samodurova to the skater I follow.

I liked watching Starr do a camel spin catchfoot then bring it down into a sit position during her combo spin. It is one of the few noteworthy spins I have seen in years.

I was just reminded that Tuktamysheva used overused music in the SP on the way to winning worlds.

I hope the Russian Ladies World Team is Zagitova, Medvedeva, and Tuktamysheva, and I would not mind a Russian sweep

I am thinking Zagitova, even with the dreadful music choices will probably rightfully win Worlds. I still hope Tuktamysheva out jumps her

Darn! I guess I am going to have to watch Zagitova on mute the whole season, if at all. Team Eteri's obvious tactics are creepy.

I want to see Tuktamysheva and Nagasu battle it out at Worlds, both with ratified 3A.

I just tried to get my free leg in a good layback position. I think it involves my hip internally stabbing my spleen when on one leg or my liver when on the other.

Meh ... The World Figure Skating Consolation Event.

I am going for Gulag Chic.

Goodbye, Neverland!

Guilty Pleasure, don't you know work starts this week!

Goodbye, Neverland!

Say something, I'm giving up on you ... And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you ... And anywhere, I would have followed you

"I, Tonya" + Ross Miner + Mark Mitchell = USFSA F*(&#)

Competitive Audition. The "body of work" was to save a superior skater like Nathan. The "body of work" wasn't to save the best of mediocre.

Watching Torville and Dean on the 2017 Royal Variety Performance demonstrating how to take a bow like figure skaters

Love you all. Have to get some real work done ... so until my will power gives way ...
