Due to the new protection measures in Valais, the Palladium is closing to the general public but the rink will remain open for figure skating. The athletes of the
@SkatingSchoolCH
will continue to train. We have further tightened our own measures—safety remains our priority.
This non-decision will do nothing to reassure the athletes that Worlds will be held responsibly or indeed at all. Explain how they will be kept safe or let them move on.

Deniss twisted his left ankle on the landing of a jump. He is receiving treatment and is now back on the ice preparing for Euros. His participation is not in question.
Heartwarming to see so many 🇱🇻 flags in Minsk! Thank you so much for supporting Deniss! It’s a pity that he couldn’t show what he’s capable of—3A and 4T have greatly improved as the practices have shown. Still needs to build more confidence. Next stop: Innsbruck!

Stéphane suffered a small tear of a calf muscle on the take-off of a split jump yesterday. He was treated this morning and cleared to perform tonight with some limitations. He will be performing one number (Mahler’s 5th) without jumps. He should be fully healed within 3 weeks.
Currently stuck at Frankfurt Airport which is experiencing a major disruption. Flight cancelled and no way to get our luggage out. Waiting for news from
@Lufthansa
. Doubtful we'll make it to Tallinn in time for the competition.
Seems the protocols are still not up. Deniss skated well overall but made a few mistakes on his jumps. He missed the opening 4S, landed 3A+2T, 3A, 3Lo, 3F+3T, and fell on the final two 3Lz.

Deniss had to withdraw from Golden Spin of Zagreb as he was still sick after IDF and unable to prepare. He is recovering well but obviously regrets missing the competition.
Here is the seating plan! Categories are Bronze (CHF 59), Silver (CHF 74), Gold (CHF 89), and Platinum (CHF 119, blue). Discount of CHF 10 for children up to 14.
One of the exciting things about the CoE initiative is that it promotes international collaboration. In this spirit, skaters now have the opportunity to join the sessions of other centers. Today,
@DenissVasiljevs
will follow the stretching class hosted by Bangkok!

Watched The Return of the King while waiting for my test result and starting to think maybe I should have gone for a full LOTR marathon. Searching for quality memes. Crossovers get +GOE. Got some?

Frankly, I hope we won’t be relying on hope alone! Competitions—particularly ISU events—should be organized with pandemic risk factored in from the start. With the right measures, the uncertainty that plagued last season could be eliminated.
