Perfect timing, definitely meant to do that, 100% intentional

“The winner of life time achievement in ISU Awards should have been for the 91y.o. Dick Button, the first man to jump 2A and a triple jump (3Lo) in competition, he's a OG, WC, NA champion, EC champion, national champion, studied in Harvard Law School, was a FS commentator and TV programs producer and has contributed more than anyone in FS history.”

“Daria Usacheva is such a beautiful girl, and a beautiful skater as well! One of the best double axels in the business, and her performance qualities are amazing for just thirteen-years-old.”

For those of you who think Yuzu was the first to do a spread eagle - axel - spread eagle, I present Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbao’s side by side double axels from 2003 Worlds! Look at the synchronization and the way he looks at her on the landing. Even more impressive since she had just injured her knee and hip earlier that week. If you have four minutes to spare watch this program because it still brings tears to my eyes 16 years later.

Hi

I'm not dead, surprise!

I'm actually more alive than ever, skatingly speaking. There have been many changes but everything is going very well: I met a coach a few months ago and I'm now training seriously, albeit not very often; I changed rinks (for now) and I'm skating in a temporary rink 20x20meters (outside!! With no roof!!! Like when I started skating 23 years ago!!!!); I also changed my blades, from an old Italian blade very badly sharpened to a sparkling new John Wilson gold seal: I now have edges and my speed almost doubled!

Just yesterday I almost completed a double Axel. I can hardly believe it.

My coach says that I'm like Po from Kung Fu Panda... When I focus on kung fu skating, when I concentrate... I stink.

Not that I will ever do the splits so well...

By the way, two weeks ago I skated in front of an audience for the first time in like 15 years! I did a piece on “Murder, she wrote” and one on “The Plaza of the execution” from “The mask of Zorro”. The mask of Zorro was my competitive program when I was 11y.o. (do you remember this post?) and I liked the music a lot so I used it again... and I also used that same dress!!!

One of my friends filmed my exhibitions and I wanted to drop the bomb and surprise you with the videos before writing anything, but he still hasn’t given them to me so I don’t even know if the pieces came out well :/  I hope you liked this text post, while I try to get the videos...
