I finished 'Pour ne pas disparaître' last night. My heart goes out to Papadakis and everyone suffering. I come from a completely different background, I'm not a skater, just love watching it. Yet, I recognize a lot of the abuse she suffered. Abusers, no matter what kind of abuse it is, often...

I would love to see Sui/Han on the podium, but think a miracle would be needed for that at this point. I also want to see Hase/Volodin medal, but unfortunately so far they haven't been having their best season.

Someone on Twitter posted excerpts from an interview of Papadakis: she explained that the publication date was already set before they even knew that Cizeron was returning to competition. In the book she tried to understand why he reacted the way he did and tried to be nuanced. She wants us to...

It's the one performance of this program which I've rewatched countless times :love:

I'd like to see a program, either short of long, on any piece of music from The Doors Concerto by Nigel Kennedy. This is one of my all time favourites: The Doors Concerto: Light my Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txEInarQ6w8&list=OLAK5uy_n4BzrSJty804iLvQguY_GMEAiCLgsLnxU After 2 decades...

Here is a link from Mega: https://mega.nz/file/kkUEzRwZ#-Di_1S6-udvSChvg6DLxSFWBkt4ha0VYlmK0NkztsJE Please let me know if it works. Otherwise I can upload it on a different platform. I'm trying to find the kind person on Twitter who made this available. And the quality is good. If you don't...

Someone shared the complete video file on Twitter and I downloaded it. If anyone wants to watch it, let me know. I'll upload it for you.

This was around the time I stopped watching skating for a while. The programs weren't as nice anymore. I just watched a few skaters and that was it for several years! Glad they changed it.

You're very welcome :)

Thank you very much for sharing the programs. I haven't seen some of these before.

Sure, no problem at all :) I just checked, there is no difference between both the one complete file, and the version split in 10 files. I used to have an older version which didn't cover the 1998 Olympics. I must have replaced that with the complete version. The quality isn't superb, but...

I downloaded it years ago. I could upload it in my free time for you, though I don't know what the quality is like. I haven't watched it in a long time. I think the video maker had uploaded it in several pieces. Let me know if I should upload it for you. Just checked it for you, I have it in 10...

This has been my experience when talking to the young for years now, starting with my own children. Somehow I feel in my childhood , we had more "normal" slang, which is probably the way many older people feel :D Often I didn't understand half of what my children and their friends were telling...

I've heard people on places like YouTube say 'menning' in social discussions (such as why men are more lonely nowadays). Hearing it in commentary made me realize it's becoming a word everyone is increasingly using.

This reminds me of Fields of Gold covered by the late Eva Cassidy. When Kwan skated to this song, it gained many new fans: https://evacassidy.org/fields-of-gold/ "In the autumn of 2001, a whole new international audience discovered Eva’s recording of “Fields of Gold” when champion ice skater...
