    Most epic Google translate fails of skaters' names

    I made up a hashtag for this once: #ilovechrometranslate The funniest one from there is probably Sergey BRAINS (Sergei Mozgov).

    Who Do You Think Will Opt Out of Worlds?

    Well, at least Hawayek & Baker definitely want to go....

    Christine Brennan USA Today launches war on Zagitova!

    That would be very well if it was the American girls she's robbing. If Medvedeva honestly doesn't resent her any, well, she's a very remarkable person indeed then.

    From Russia with love [#28]: Autumn to Winter 2017

    Ah, but that would be letting a Western woman get away with speaking her mind. Can't have that, can they? And I am not impressed that so far none of these men seem to think such a woman can have an opinion and not be just be jealous of their precious champion. It's almost enough to make one...

    Olympic Preview Montage

    Waited on the CAS decision as long as I could, but now that it's happening an hour after the skating begins, I'm posting this now. Password is "pyeongchang" https://vimeo.com/254825493

    From Russia with love [#28]: Autumn to Winter 2017

    If both ice dance teams are out and go unreplaced, that's all chance of winning the team event gone. Yeah, their replacements wouldn't get the top scores and it would be harder, but is Russia really going to throw away their chance like that?

    IOC's decision: (clean) Russian athletes can compete under neutral flag at PyeongChang Olympics

    If there is a specific reason for this, the IOC would do well to provide it. I don't know if this is really indication they're taking out the competition, since if they were they'd probably go after Bobrova instead of Bukin. But right now this just looks arbitrary and, by extension, cruel.

    Increasingly likely “Russia” will be banned from Pyeongchang

    Quite frankly, if one wanted to call the Russians victimized here, the judges need to stop giving them higher presentation scores than they deserve. Multiple cases of it on the Grand Prix this year, and it just resulted in the wrong skaters winning for the second time. Even if you could argue...

    Airfare Sale -- Check if Going to Milan Worlds

    Speaking of Milan Worlds, does anyone know what's going on with the hotels? Are they going to have official ones or not? I emailed them to ask, but got no response.

    Scandinavian skater's news thread

    ..and we officially need to know what standards Sweden is demanding of its ladies. Unless Algotsson blows it tomorrow there's going to be a berth there.

    U.S. Ladies [#18]: These Boots Are Made for Skating

    If Ashley's settled on redoing Moulin Rouge, why didn't she say so in the article? And if she's not competing before the Grand Prix, is it perhaps more likely she's undecided right now on just what she's going to do?

    ISU Grand Prix Assignments 2017/18 Olympic season

    Bad news everyone. There's a reason Coomes & Buckland didn't get any events: https://twitter.com/PennyCoomes/status/868190252430753792 That means no Nebelhorn Trophy either, and probably no Olympic berth, even if they're healthy by then.:wuzrobbed
