Thank you so much for this link! As I wrote in another thread, Ilia really cared about Max when he was going through a very difficult time after losing his parents. Now, Max is saying that they are caring about Ilia. It's always amazing (and understandable) to see how much these athletes care...

It's really a shame that the Washington Post, the local newspaper where Ilia lives, is describing the situation this way, since people living in the area will see the article, although most of us no longer subscribe to the Post anymore. I was going to buy a copy tomorrow, but I won't.😓

I went to a local bookshop and found these magazines with an article about Ilia.😆 The Atlantic is not on sale yet. https://x.com/YukiNieve/status/2019602092818854054

Even though the list of men is not announced yet, there will be practice today for men as well, so that may give you a hint…

If you can set your VPN to Japan, here is Yuna Aoki's SP and FS performance at the 4CC. ISU seems to have made its videos unavailable, even when you use a VPN. SP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrWRS9UCpvg FS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXud4LleMU0

Has this been posted? (Sorry if it has.) Shizuka Arakawa had a relatively long interview with Ilia Malinin, about 30 minutes. His answers are mostly known, but how he observes other skaters, such as Yuma's progress, is interesting. It's another good example of how much he loves watching others...
