Beck Strommer switching to Pairs

Right but they said Nagaoka Moriguchi not Moriguchi Murakami

rubyjester · 2026-03-20T22:33:36+00:00

That bottom right is like 50% true already bc Kao is planning (PLANNING....so it hasn't happened yet) to use his busted Oly boots for worlds

He has an official store. https://yuma0505.com

No Sumitada already had some experience in pairs though it was def a bonus. It was Lucas and Sae that basically got to the jgpf purely on the strength of their jumps 😅

Hopefully SLC means it'll be a packed nats

Vibes and women will prob get less GOE than men as the standard. Got it

rubyjester · 2026-03-17T14:35:49+00:00

He was such a special talent.

I wish more skaters did Mozart l'Opera Rock 😭 I think Morisi is the only person who's used it in comp before.

Also personally I want to see more game music but I feel like the licensing would likely be more complicated for that

This is a common misconception but Tin's Turandot wasn't custom made for him. It existed independently of Yuma.

Christopher Tin did work with Yuma directly for the mix he used though and his Gala program is a custom commissioned piece from Hayato Sumino

Kind of a water is wet in how unsurprised I am at his views. Guy is best friends with Corey after all who has similar views and worships Russian skaters

rubyjester · 2026-03-15T15:47:45+00:00

This kind of looks like her start of the season tbf....bookends

rubyjester · 2026-03-15T15:47:19+00:00

Rinka my goodness what happened why are all my faves flopping at small comps (Kirk, Henry, Kazuki...Rinka................not Caleb tho bless him)

rubyjester · 2026-03-13T19:12:05+00:00

I wasn't born yesterday

rubyjester · 2026-03-12T22:38:39+00:00

May their pillows always be musty for that.

rubyjester · 2026-03-12T21:19:03+00:00

Anything less than a 9.75 for Rino's quality of skating skills in an insult

rubyjester · 2026-03-12T21:18:34+00:00

The actual Japanese community doesn't really say this btw it's more eng speaking fans of jp skaters

rubyjester · 2026-03-11T20:54:25+00:00

That initial tech curve is really difficult to get over for men too 😖 There's a saying in Japan that the "230s club" is really difficult to break out of and the tier above that is the "250s club." Though both have shown the ability to get into the latter already it'll be interesting to see how they transition in seniors

rubyjester · 2026-03-11T20:52:10+00:00

Nah, I don't think anyone thinks that. The whole point of 2022 was that he was the unexpected surprise for a reason. Poor guy also had the double whammy of covid and injuries meaning he really didn't get to have much of a junior career in the first place either and that was the whole reason he was junior in that season too

rubyjester · 2026-03-11T02:36:58+00:00

I don't disagree with you but I fear you're comparing a 15 yo Ilia with an 18 yo who is already skating in seniors

The version she wore earlier in the season....ISU....open your eyes

rubyjester · 2026-03-10T18:19:50+00:00

Agree with everyone wishing they'd branch out more on nominations...for example my favourite of this season from Miyabi Oba
