Being an ice skater means never having to apologise for cosplay

I'm still waiting for the Nirvana in Fire ice skating routine, but all due respect to Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu, multiple Chinese national champions in ice dance, for following in the proud footsteps of Evgenia Medvedeva and no doubt many other professional skating cosplayers and doing their last season's gala exhibition programme to the soundtrack for The Untamed.

Here at the GPF Cup of China:



(The above is geoblocked in some regions, this is the same performance.)

Also at Four Continents, at both of which competitions they came fourth. Tragically, I can't find it on British Eurosport last year, and so can only imagine what John and Megan made of it.

Is it because of The Untamed that he's wearing that headband?

Ah! That link also answers my question about which is which! Thank you!

My skating wardrobe consists of variations on black leggings and black tops. Presumably I am cosplaying one of the unsuccessful ninjas (not even the good ones; the ones that made up the first wave in the fic).

Not the way I skate, but I appreciate the thought!

Thank you for taking the time to hunt down multiple versions, as the one you had embedded is region-locked. I really enjoyed this.

WWX is definitely The Girl. Comes of all that yin energy.

Alas! I am always here for John and Megan's opinions.

I am so missing the skating competitions this year - and last, too. The Adult ISU will now happen in November, if at all.... but as no adults have been able to train in this country for quite a long time, I wonder how many entries there will actually be. I see they've lopped 2 days off the competition!

I seem to have agreed to go to Montpellier for Worlds next year - a friend suggested that we go, and since I swore in the first lockdown that I'd never turn down an interesting invitation again...

Hmmm.... Montpellier is a very nice place (tempted, tempted!). We shall see.
