| Wow, Mao blows me away! Let me get this straight -- Mao got 4 new programs in less than a month (SP, LP, two EX's). And she performs her brand new Ex that requires an entirely different style from before to near-perfection!  TAT is so talented and Mao is super-human! They are a match made in heaven!  (i just wish i could make that Fuji TV announcer shut up. His comments make my skin crawl. Sigh...) | |

| Okay, now it's my turn to say "WOW".  In fact, I've noticed every time Mao impresses me to a certain high degree, I find it hard to say anything at all. Because then I either want to write something, well, 'epic' like, you know, a couple of pages of emotional rollercoaster with a small handwriting, or not to write at all. -_- In such cases I usually wait for a little 'settle down' when I can afford myself just to come, to say a regular "WOW" and to be like that. For instance, the past Worlds are still holding me in their thrall. Since I am still totally unable to express in mere english words why I can't even imagine anything more great than that Mao's Free Skate. And why people who are saying that Yukari (with all my love and respect ) had the greatest skate of the night, make me feel... a bit puzzled. (There is a theory, you know. If a person had a chance to look through a space black hole, then he/she possibly would be able to see a parrallel reality/universe, where everything would be the same like in ours own, only where Yukari, say, wouldn't have a leg wrap, or Lambiel would do two triple axels any day of the week, but would have a problem with spins, or Evan, say, would wear ONLY white, pink and heavenly blue, and such things...  So sometimes I can't help myself but to wonder, maybe some people watch figure skating through black holes instead of regular High Definition TVs for 3000 US$?  ) But that's quite an off-topic, sorry. On the matter... Of course, that was wonderful!  This new EX is so great, I am afraid to watch it too often, so not to get used to it, even a little bit. TAT - трепетный почет и уважение (sorry)! And Mao... oh... Mao is just Mao.   And Daisuke, imho, now is even better than before. After watching his new SP, I've happened to think, for the first time, that leaving Morozov wasn't probably that bad idea. As for me, in terms of choreography Miyamoto suits him even better. Now, the objective is to find someone with a high skill in saying "you can do it!" directly before a perfomance.  And Nobunari. He has so fluid movements... and landings... and... just wow. I am curious what his new competitive programs choreographed_by_Lori_revised_by_Morozov will look like.  And I really hope Nikolai will help Nobu with the mental part.  Thanks, everybody, for the links, and everything!  | |

I don't mind an epic or two coming from you in the good tradition of War and Peace. Because anything you write would be much funnier than the novel!  - Quote :

Would you care to translate this for us linguistically challenged folks?  | |

Awwww, Evan in pink...(lol). Would love to see that (I indeed love men wearing pink). | |

I wished somebody would drop it (1000-1500 pages without pictures. Man) on the foot of Brian Joubert the next time he behaves badly.  No, really. ( Okay, okay, just kidding. -) - Caliblue wrote:

Would you care to translate this for us linguistically challenged folks? Well, z4mboni has decoded everything correctly. The new EX is so great, I couldn't help myself... and it just seemed to me that in Russian it sounded a bit more sincere. | |

| Thanks, z4mboni and summervie, for the translation. I totally understand the difficulty of translating certain phrases into a target language rooted in an entirely different cultural tradition. Yes, War and Peace could teach Brian a thing or two!  - Quote :
- And Mao's skate without commentary!

But this was a great program, those 3 minutes went on so fast. Her flexibility improved a lot! 
I hope there will be a commentary-less version available sometime later... I so hoped to hear this Tosca edit in good quality 
Other skaters looked amazing too... 
I corrected the link now, here it is:
