My 5th annual jaunt to the Cricket Club for my retirees' Christmas lunch! Food wasn't terrific but the skating was!
Saw Medvedeva (sigh) and Jason Brown (sigh) as expected, Cha and Orzel. But for the first time in 5 years, Yuzu was there! So amazing to see this legend up close and personal!Last year, there was a lot of interaction among the skaters; this year, everyone was in their own world. Hanyu did what I consider to be an "art installation". It was like he was creating a large piece of art in and around all the skaters. He did a series of 6 flourishes and bows, covering all of the rink. Amazing and mesmerizing! Cha was shadowing him like crazy (and wore a similar black outfit, had same haircut, etc.) and it got annoying at times.
Tons of jumping, tons of triples, often in combo. Brian was there and Tracy led the stroking exercise this time. Could someone tell me how these people manage their jet lag? They must have some tricks as they're not long back from NHK.
What a terrific day!
