#DecemberDreams #Day6 #IceSkating I‘ve never read a book about ice skating, but I sure love watching it on tv! It‘s my favourite part of the Winter Olympics, especially the pairs & ice dancing, but watching Yuzuru Hanyu skate was just magical. Like poetry in motion. I highly recommend the YT channel On Ice Perspectives @OnIcePerspectives?feature=shared" rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://youtube.com/@OnIcePerspectives?feature=shared #WinterGames #TeamEvergreen 6pts

LeeRHarry I love the ice skating too, particularly the ice dance - lots of faves: Papadakis and Cizeron, Chock and Bates, Stepanova and Bukin to name a few. 😊 1y

Lizpixie @LeeRHarry I used to do ice skating for sport at High School & loved going really fast with the icy wind in my face.🌬️❄️My fave memories of HS. As a kid I‘d sit & watch skaters like Torvill & Dean, Dorothy Hamill, Scott Hamilton & Katarina Witt. Perfection.⛸️⛸️ 1y

Eggs I LOVE to watch ice dancing 💃 🧊⛸️💕 1y

Charityann Ooh, the YouTube channel looks great! I keep up with the ice skating on TV every year. I love watching it.⛸️🩵 1y

Cinfhen Awwwww, thanks so much, @Verity ❤️❤️❤️ Her personal goal was to skate clean and make it into the top 15 and that‘s just what she did!!! Really a joy to see her excitement @squirrelbrain @marleed 3y

Cinfhen OMG….yesterday was SO SAD! NO WORDS 😶 3y

BkClubCare Exciting!!! 3y

CarolynM Wonderful!👏🎉 @Cinfhen 3y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @CarolynM @BkClubCare We‘re SO PROUD of her achievements 💓💓💓💓💓 3y

Verity @Cinfhen I hope you‘re even more proud today. She had a tough one, but she got through it and they did so well. And what a competition to be a part of. That final group 😍 3y

Verity @Cinfhen and as for the Women‘s. I have no words. I‘m just glad that the pairs was so good that it helped wash away the awful taste of child exploitation. 3y

Cinfhen Thanks so much!! Yesterday wasn‘t her best skate, I‘m sure she‘s disappointed since she‘s done that routine flawlessly hundreds of times but that‘s how it goes. She definitely had a positive, amazing experience overall and can be so proud of what she/they achieved in 8 months!!!! The Chinese have been skating together for 15 YEARS!!!! It just irked me to see Eteri down there in the coaches arena. She needs to be banned. 3y

Verity @Cinfhen you don‘t know how the nerves are going to hit you til you do it though. No matter how much you tell yourself it‘s just like any other skate, it must be really hard to actually skate like it is. Are they going to worlds? I‘m so cross that Eteri is involved with Tarasova and Morosov - especially as my boy Trankov is their main coach… 3y

Cinfhen Her partner is debating retiring/ he‘s 33 - I don‘t see him sticking around for another Olympic cycle. I think if he retires she‘ll probably stop competing at this level. As much as she loves skating I think she‘s ready for “normal” 3y

Verity @Cinfhen I can understand that. And the Olympics is a helluva way to go out. But it‘ll be a weaker field at worlds so they could do well… 3y

Verity @Cinfhen I‘ve just realised that I saw her partner skate back in the day - I went to 2012 Euros with my sister and he was skating with one of his previous partners - no wonder he‘s nearly done! 3y

Cinfhen can you believe all that‘s going on??? My niece is going to Worlds with her partner. Will be interesting to see how it plays out without any Russian teams. My heart is so heavy though. I feel like the ISU should have canceled the event in light of what‘s happening in Ukraine 💔💔 (edited) 3y

Verity @Cinfhen I mean it‘s all just so… yeah. I‘m thrilled for your niece getting to go to worlds. And I‘m glad that they aren‘t cancelled - because there are a lot of people who are going to retire after worlds. But it will be weird without the Russians and I‘m sad that we may have seen the last of some of them without realising it. Does that make sense? 3y

Cinfhen Yeah, it‘s such a mess. 3y

Verity @Cinfhen coming back to this to tell you that I‘m just watching the pairs free back with the bbc commentary (rather that Eurosport) and Robin Cousins says that Hayley is the best partner that Evgeny has had - and it‘s a shame that she wasn‘t around earlier in his career because they would have had a good career together. I know it‘s what ifs, but I thought you (and she?) might like to hear nice things being said about her! 3y

Cinfhen That‘s so nice to hear!! I‘ll share it with her. Worlds was a bit of a disappointment for them but they were both nursing injuries. At this point in the season it‘s inevitable. And what happened to Ashley Cain?? She looked sooo wobbly during warm-ups!! Hailey was at Jr Worlds when she had that terrible fall / it was like deja vu. Skating can be so dangerous. It was a good Worlds event though. Nice for some other teams to finally get to the podium 3y
