WHY DID YOUR MUSE BECOME AN IDOL?

Realistically, Gaeun became an idol because she was a born performer who would do well in whichever path she decided to trudge. There was a time she believed more in being destined for stardom, but nowadays, that's a lot more subdued. Honestly, she became an idol when she had her injury in her teenage years and couldn't go back to the ice rink. She had more time in her hands than ever before, and nothing seemed to scratch the itch the same way that figure skating did. She did expect that doing something like dancing would help her with that, but Gaeun didn't expect to spend the next seven years practicing nonstop to debut.

WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE THINK OF THEIR COMPANY AND THEIR GROUP?

Gaeun thinks she lucked out with Gold Star Media and Femme Fatale. In terms of entertainment companies, Gaeun believes that out of the big 3, Gold Star is the best option. Of course, no company is perfect, and there are a lot of flaws underneath the façade of having idols with good personalities and free to express their feelings. However, as far as Gaeun is concerned, there is nothing major to complain about them. They give her work and let her explore fields in the entertainment industry, even if they are not her specialty. She feels at ease under her care when it comes to her activities. As for Femme Fatale, she loves her group. Genuinely is enamoured with them and is very protective of their name and team. With that being said, Gaeun is also worried that with how successful they are, not only people will start to find flaws where there is none to criticize them, or they'll start releasing whatever to fill in the blanks. Gaeun loves their music so far, and she hopes that going forward they won't decline in quality just because Gold Star knows their fans will support them regardless.

IS YOUR MUSE ON THEIR FIRST CONTRACT OR THEIR SECOND? IF THEY’VE RENEWED, WHAT WERE THEIR FEELINGS AROUND THAT AT THE TIME AND WHAT WERE THEIR HOPES FOR THEIR SECOND CONTRACT? IF THEY HAVEN’T RENEWED, WHAT ARE THEIR CURRENT THOUGHTS ON THE END OF THEIR EVENTUAL FIRST CONTRACT?

Surprisingly, Femme Fatale is still in their first contract. They have been around since 2019, which feels weird since they've done so much since. Not only have they released hit after hit since debut, but Femme Fatale also had variety shows on their own, held concerts in most of Asia, Europe, Oceania and North America, debuted in Japan, collaborated with Selena Gomez, among other milestones, and all in less than four years. Gaeun is an overachiever, so having this much to do in so little time doesn't bother her. She thinks there's nothing better for them since having work is better than waiting for scraps ever so often. As long as they stay busy and the quality of their work doesn't decline, Gaeun has no reason to complain about it or even have doubts about the possibility of renewing her contract in 2026.

WHAT ARE YOUR MUSE’S GOALS, AMBITIONS, AND MOTIVATIONS?

Because she feels like she's already at the top of the world with how successful Femme Fatale is, wishing to become a global star doesn't seem far-fetched for Gaeun. Of course, many people already know who she is, even if they aren't Soleils, but Gaeun wants to become known not only as a member of Femme Fatale but also be recognized alone. She wants to expand her horizons and do everything she's allowed to in the industry. She's already a strong name when it comes to fashion and modelling, and she started her journey as an actress recently as well, but Gaeun also wants to start writing music for Femme Fatale and maybe appear in more variety shows that aren't their own. Maybe she even hosts a radio show at some point in her career, too. Opportunities won't stop coming if her name continues hot.

WHAT MOMENTS OR PEOPLE IN YOUR MUSE’S LIFE ARE OR HAVE BEEN THE MOST IMPACTFUL AND/OR THE MOST IMPORTANT TO THEM?

Her family is the obvious answer, but they played a big part in why Gaeun is the way she is now. Her parents were always supportive of her and have always given her the best of the best they could offer, but it's her brother and sister, Gaeun thanks more often. When Gaeun suffered her injury in 2012, she thought about giving up entirely. She didn't want to back to practising and wanted to forget about ice skating since she wouldn't go back to it. It was Gayoung and Garam who offered her their words of advice and encouraged her to not only do the surgery to repair her knee but also go to physiotherapy. Of course, she didn't recover a 100% from her injury, but if it wasn't for her siblings, Gaeun wouldn't even be capable of becoming an idol.

WHAT ARE FIVE OF YOUR MUSE’S FAVORITE THINGS? FEEL FREE TO EXPAND ON WHY THIS IS AND/OR HOW THESE BECAME THEIR FAVORITE THINGS.

Her ice skates. For obvious reasons, it was her first love (even though she has changed pairs more than a handful of times since she began ice skating), and she still harbours positive and affectionate feelings for the first art form she was ever introduced to. Digital camera. As mentioned above, there is a lot that happened in Gaeun's life in the past four years alone. She developed a liking for immortalizing the people and the places they've been to, and it's the best thing she ever acquired since debuting. Driving. Trust Aster to be your designated driver at any time. She loves being behind the wheel and taking people to places. She hopes to have the time in the future to go on a road trip around South Korea at some point. Her guitar. Yes, she only started picking it up again after becoming a trainee, and she has barely touched the instrument in the past couple of months, but that doesn't take away how much she loves the sound and how she enjoys playing it when she has the chance. Gummy bears. Just, gummy bears.

WHAT IS ONE CONFLICT, INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL, THAT YOUR MUSE IS CURRENTLY DEALING WITH, HAS RECENTLY DEALT WITH, OR WILL NEED TO DEAL WITH IN THE FUTURE?

Gaeun is Femme Fatale's first and biggest fan. She'll have to deal with the fact that their upcoming songs will not be of her liking and that will put a lot of strain on her belief that they are good artists. She wants to deliver the best performance she can especially because fans trust them to do so, but they are also a new group with not much say in the direction of their comebacks. That's one push more to make her want to be more involved with FF's future releases.

IF YOUR MUSE HAS ESTABLISHED CAREER CLAIMS, WHAT ARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON THEIR CAREER SO FAR? IF THEY DO NOT, HOW DO THEY FEEL ABOUT NOT HAVING INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES YET? WHAT WOULD THEY LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE, IF ANYTHING? IF THEY DON’T HAVE AMBITIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES, EXPLAIN WHY.

Gaeun has a lot of previous modelling and fashion claims. She has appeared in big magazines at least once every year since her debut, and she's very happy with how things have been turning out for her on that front. She loves modelling even if it's not seen as something essential or difficult. She wants to keep doing it in the future since there are still three of the top 6 fashion magazines in Korea to appear on. As for acting, Gaeun hopes for more roles, and just like everything else she does, she'll put her whole effort into delivering a good performance. Acting is surprisingly fun, and pretending to be someone else is not as bad.

Rock: short story

Pop: mystery

K-pop: comedy

J-pop: chic-lit

Country: adventure

Jazz/blues/funk: sci-fi

Instrumental: fantasy

Hip hop/rap: dystopian

Jazz/blues/funk: an innocent detective is now the prime suspect of an investigation, what do they do?

Instrumental: someone trying to prove that ghosts do really exist

Hip hop/rap: a vampire trying to mutate their genes so that they’ll be able to walk in broad daylight and undo their garlic intolerance. What could go wrong?

Musical: while ice-skating, someone cracks falls through the ice and discover a whole new world

Reggae/Latin: a character becomes stuck in their computer

EDM: despite their deep feelings for each other, a couple have strongly conflicting views. Neither wants to be the one to initiate the breakup.

Shuffle 4: Your MC

Rock: an alien. Kind, but slow, especially for their species

Pop: a loyal dog

K-pop: a spiritual boss who greatly believes in pseudoscience

J-pop: an impatient and prideful character

Country: an ant. That’s it. It might grow into a human.

A lil cheat sheet to hopefully make Come What May timelines/comps easier to understand! This is basically all the comps that will be mentioned in the fic throughout each season at some point or another. Every season looks a little different but will generally be: one early season comp (Challenger series), two grand prix events (+ the final if they qualify), nationals and then 4CCs and Worlds (if they qualify) each season.

I’ve put few more details on each under the cut if anyone is particularly curious!

Every competition has basically the same 8 events - 2 programs (short and long) for four disciplines (mens singles, womens singles, ice dance and pairs), though the timetable for when they happen varies within each comp. For each skater/team there are two practice sessions in the days before they compete, two competitive events, and then a gala for the bigger events where they have to do an exhibition skate if they place top 3 or they’re asked to skate in it.

-There are close to 20 comps in the Challenger series (it didn’t become an official series til the 14-15 season but some of the the comps have been running a long time) and they run throughout the whole season. I’ve only mentioned the handful I’ve actually included in the fic here. They’re typically a bit smaller in terms of coverage and number of competitors etc but they give an opportunity for early debut of programs for feedback before the Grand Prix and they give teams with less opportunities in the bigger comps (Grand Prix, 4CC, Worlds etc) a chance to compete internationally throughout the season. As far as I know these are more up to the actual competitors to decide what ones they want to do rather than having federations assign them like most of the others.

-The Grand Prix is 6 comps over 6 weeks in the above order. Teams get assigned to a max of two events by their federation. The top 6 in each discipline after competing in both go to the Grand Prix Final (GPF) set a couple of weeks after the last one.

-Nationals are held all throughout Dec-Jan(ish) for diff countries but I’ve just included the US one bc that’s the only one we go to. The results of this strongly influence who will go to 4CCs, Worlds and the Olympics (though the federations do take other performances from Grand Prix etc into account when making decisions).

-Four Continents/4CCs is teams/skaters from Africa, The Americas, Asia and Oceania (a European equivalent is held in late Jan) held anywhere throughout those locations. Second equal with Euros in terms of size/importance throughout a season.

-Worlds is obviously the biggest comp of them all (aside from the Olympics) for the season. The number of spots each country has is based on the previous years results for that discipline (it’s a lil complex but generally Canada, Russia and The US have 3 and most other countries have 1-2) so in countries with a big pool of skaters these are highly competed for.

I’ve linked a bunch of wikipedia articles that go into more detail for each one overall and I’m always happy to answer any questions anyone has about anything skating but hopefully this kinda shows what goes down each season if anyone is struggling to follow it!

#come what may #i hope this is helpful to like... at least one person idk

Should Surfing be in the Olympics?

Should Surfing Be in the Olympics?

Surfing has been a part of my life since I was extremely young, and because of this, it holds an extraordinary place in my heart. There is just nothing like the taste of the saltwater and getting up a surfing a wave. I started surfing when I was about five years old, and ever since then, I lived in the ocean. I always saw it as a competition, seeing who can catch the best wave and who can ride it the best. I was still interested in being able to perform tricks and mastering how to ride individual waves. It is a very technical sport, similar to skating and snowboarding. Snowboarding is the most similar and, as many know have always been in the Winter Olympics. It has drawn in many great athletes such as Sean White and brought in a significant amount of popularity to the Olympics world round. Because of this popularity, many feel that Surfing deserves to be in the summer Olympics. There are many great athletes all around the globe, such as John John Florence and Kelly Slater, who have always advocated for making surfing an Olympic sport. Taking it all in, I am a massive advocate with believing Surfing should be in the summer Olympics.

One reason I believe surging should be in the Summer Olympics is that it involves both genders. Every Olympic sport is split by genders and has a gender counterpart. For example, hockey has both men's hockey and female hockey. If the current layout is used from the surfing world championships, the competition would have both men and female Surfing. Many famous female surfers advocate for this, such as Stephanie Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons. "Surfing is truly a global sport, more popular and more widely practiced than many current Olympic sports. Surfing is pursued in every corner of the world, in more than a hundred countries. There are now over 35 million surfers worldwide! Surfers are a strong and positive influence on young people around the world. They are a very relevant part of our youth culture and serve as inspirational figures, naturally representing Olympic values.", wrote Aguerre. Many other lead female surfers have come out expressing the same opinions. They believe that it will bring even more attention to the sport and will be suitable for women in the Olympics. Women in sports are especially important in the political world we live in today. Women in sports are significant in making the world an equal place. It will allow little girls to grow up dreaming about becoming Olympic surfers an actual reality, and it will give them more female leaders to look up to and be inspired to try surfing themselves. Introducing a sport that involves both genders would be a great addition to the Olympics.

Another reason Surfing should be in the Olympics is that it is already a profound sport around the world. It is widely popular in the United States, along with Australia, South Africa, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia, and many more. Popularity takes out the question that commonly arises when talking about adding baseball and softball to the Olympics. Baseball and softball have always been mainstream sports, but have been subjugated due to a lack of worldwide popularity. Surfing is extremely popular and well-watched on tv and streaming services such as YouTube. Studies have shown growth in Surfing has spiked in popularity since 2002. An article on Surfer Today, one of the most popular used surfing blogs, said that. "Surfing is one of the most popular water sports on the planet. And, who knows, probably the number one water sport on the planet."

With statements like this, many people question where the proof to back it up is? A recent survey came out showing that the popularity is, in fact, genuine. In America, there are 13.5 million surfers, in Oceania 6.5 million surfers, in Asia 6 million surfers, in Europe, 4.5 million surfers, and in Africa, 4.5 million surfers. These numbers beat other Olympic sports like curling by a mile. This leads to the question of why has surging not been in the Olympics? The reason is most likely due to the location. Summer Olympics will need to be centered around beaches and, in particular, beaches with waves. The ocean is exceptionally unpredictable and is entirely unpredictable. Some days huge swells are bringing in high tides and others where it is very choppy or flat, and you can not ride the waves. This will cause a rush to get the surfing event done with on the best possible day, leading for it to be incredibly crammed in. From personal experience, swells are very inconsistent, and the forecast is often incorrect. This is an issue that even effects professional surfing competitions. This is why they are usually located in Indonesia, California, or Hawaii. These locations are often very consistent and have some of the best swells in the country. Sadly, the Olympics can not be held here every single time as they are already scheduled down the road for locations such as Japan, Paris, and many other countries. This brings up the issue of if the area can host the competition. If Surfing is labeled as a major Olympic sport down the road, the scheduled places will have to have right surfing spots; however, can the already scheduled spots host it? It is believed that Japan can as they get a proper amount of swells, and technology is already being developed to assist in helping the prediction of the swells. Even so, this will always be an issue if Surfing is made an Olympic Sport. However, if it is just scheduled for the best day of the week using forecasting and using a consistent location, these issues can be overcome with ease. Another possible solution is Kelly Slatter’s idea of using surfing pools. This idea completely relies on technology but would create the most balanced playing field. This does take out some of the competition of finding the best wave, but it would work if possible. So to end this point, Surfing is a worldwide sport and is very popular in a ton of countries and with current selections can easily be added to the Olympics.

Another bonus to Surfing being added to the Olympics is that it will bring a new sport and bring in an even bigger crowd. As previously discussed Surfing is a prevalent worldwide sport. It is estimated that "1.6 billion people love watching, or reading Twitter feeds, about Surfing! 1.6 billion, or as Stu Nettle points out, over 1/5 of the earth's population." This is an outstanding amount of people that watch the sport, topping a lot of games that are currently in both the Winter and Summer Olympics. So the question of if Surfing is big enough to add to the Olympics is out of the problem as it is one of the biggest sports in the world. This alone will bring in a massive payday for the Olympics; however, individual faces such as John John Florence will bring I'm the biggest payday. John John Florence is arguably the most famous surfer worldwide as he has over 1.3 million followers on Instagram alone. For an athlete that is an insane amount to have on social media, it is sure to bring in many fans. As for the female aspect, Sally Fitzgibbons has about 600 thousand followers on Instagram. Six hundred thousand is another large amount of followers, considering the sport does not get a more substantial amount of coverage. This situation would be a win-win for both the athletes and the Olympics. The Olympics would be able to cover these athletes in-depth, and in return, the athletes would get a boost in followers to help grow their careers even more. Along with athletes, Surfing also has many sponsors that would benefit the Olympics even more. Major companies such as Red Bull Billabong, Rip Curl, Quicksilver, Vans, and many more would swarm around these events. The coverage would be very well, and each professional surfer would likely bring in many of these major sponsors. Considering all of this, Surfing would increase the amount of money, viewers, and followers for both the Olympics and the surfers would make.

Overall, Surfing would be a fantastic addition to the Olympics and should seriously be considered for the next upcoming Summer Olympics. It will firmly grab the attention of people who are fans of the sport and people who are interested in it. It will give the competition an even more mainstream platform and allow people to look up to many role models in the game thoroughly. It is also a prevalent worldwide sport, drawing in fans and athletes from all across the so the viewer total will be extremely high. And on top of this, it will also bring in many companies who sponsor many prominent named athletes who presumably will compete in the Olympics. It is also prevalent among both genders, making the sport respect equality, as both male and female events will get the same amount of viewers. In summation, adding Surfing to the Summer Olympics would be a fantastic decision that would benefit everyone with very little to no downside.

Leisure Activities in the UK | What to do or not to do

Leisure time is defined as time spent away from work; job-related activities such as travel, meetings, and training. Humans have relied greatly on it since the beginning of time. According to the British Council, the United Kingdom is a magnificent melting pot of diverse cultures and modern thought, kept together by a strong sense of identity and tradition. As an international student, you will have thousands of interesting adventures ahead of you, including the chance to see exotic locations and meet new people. Because the UK is a global city, many UK customs will be second nature to you, and you’ll be able to blend in sooner than you think.

Let us take you a tour of leisure activities for overseas students in the UK:

Sports and Entertainment: The most popular leisure activity in the UK is Football (soccer). It is thought that the modern world began in England. Almost every university in the United Kingdom has its own sports team. Everyone is welcome to play because the majority of sports teams at the University are made up of a mix of undergraduates and postgraduates. In addition, the majority of British universities have a comprehensive Sports Center with a training suite, a Strength and Conditioning Room, a sports hall, a boxing ring, and squash courts. The University also has an athletic track, hockey fields, and Fenner’s Cricket and Tennis Ground.

Journey to London: London should be at the top of your list when deciding where to begin your study abroad trip. With international students from all over the world calling London home, you’ll be part of a vibrant and diverse community. The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, as well as the London Eye, Horse Guards Parade, and Buckingham Palace, can all be seen in London. Also, if you want to learn about their culture, go to the Tate Modern, then to the British Film Institute and National Theater, which are both located along the river.

Visit British Countryside: The countryside is a significant component of English life and culture. Furthermore, despite the fact that the vast majority of Britons now live in cities, the countryside remains an appealing destination for the majority of people in Britain, offering a place to live and rest. Britons love to visit the countryside on weekends and other occasions when they have free time. They have no qualms about doing so because the English countryside is attractive, diversified, and usually easily accessible from big cities. Furthermore, traveling to the nation does not always necessitate a lengthy journey. Many rural areas are only a short distance from a town or city.

Explore British Museum: There is a lot to see in the permanent collection at the British Museum, which might be overwhelming. Among the attractions are the Egyptian sculpture display, which holds the Rosetta Stone and the Statue of Ramesses II, and the Africa Galleries, which contain both antiquities and contemporary goods. The galleries cover the entire globe, from Oceania to Japan to the United Kingdom, so pick a voyage that appeals to you. Dine at one of the museum’s eateries after you’ve properly toured the galleries and displays.

Enjoy Ice Skating: In places of the world where the winters are harsh, ice skating is a common seasonal sport. However, as soon as December arrives, ice-skating rinks open in many cities as part of the Christmas season and visiting one might be a fantastic adventure for you and your friends. Because there are rinks in practically every city and town, a fast search will uncover the ones closest to you, and many are often placed near Christmas markets. If you’ve never skated before, it may take some practice to get the hang of it, but it’s always worth a go.

In the end, while studying you will have access to a hundred types of leisure activities in the UK. You may try a variety of ales by going pub hopping. You may visit the adjacent open-air markets on weekends. You can shop or visit historical sights. Many international students will complete all three years of their studies in the UK and then take time off to see what they missed. There will never be a time when you will be bored in the UK because there is so much to do.

Japan Star Hanyu Sets World Record at Four Continents

by AFP Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan smashed 111.82 points with no others reaching the 100-point mark at the Four Continents figure skating competition in Seoul

The Japanese figure skating star, who won the Skate Canada crown in late October, smashed 111.82 points with no others reaching the 100-point mark in Seoul, where the free program will be held on Sunday.

With the new world record score Hanyu also beat his personal best of 110.53 set at the 2018 Rostelecom Cup. Boyang Jin of China came second with 95.83 points and the United States' Jason Brown was in third with 94.71. Hanyu opened his performance to Chopin's Ballade No.1 with a flawless quadruple salchow. He then nailed a stunning quad toe-loop triple toe-loop combination and a clean triple axel, prompting frenzied fans to shower him with Winnie the Pooh bears -- Hanyu is apparently a fan of the A. A. Milne character -- at the end of the performance. The Japanese star is bidding to become the first male skater to complete the Super Slam of the junior world title, world title, Olympic gold, Grand Prix Final and continental championship. Hanyu is to skate to Japanese composer Shigeru Umebayashi's "Seimei" for his free skate on Sunday - the same music that served him so successfully at the Pyeongchang Olympics in South Korea in 2018. Earlier Friday US champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates won the gold medal in ice dancing. Canada's Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier won the silver while overnight leaders Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue of the US settled for the bronze. Four Continents features top skaters from Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. Read the full article

Lista da Bolsa Pódio contempla 293 atletas e inclui o surfe pela primeira vez

Lista da Bolsa Pódio contempla 293 atletas e inclui o surfe pela primeira vez - Patamar mais elevado do Programa Bolsa Atleta do governo federal, a categoria Pódio teve uma nova lista de contemplados publicada no Diário Oficial da União desta terça-feira (03.12). São 293 atletas que tiveram o plano esportivo aprovado, sendo 122 de modalidades olímpicas e 171 de paralímpicas, somando um investimento na ordem de R$ 40 milhões ao ano. Pela primeira vez, o surfe tem representantes na listagem, juntando-se ao skate e ao caratê, já beneficiados no ano passado, entre as novas modalidades dos Jogos Olímpicos de Tóquio 2020. Cinco surfistas brasileiros estão na lista: Filipe Toledo, Gabriel Medina, Ítalo Ferreira, Silvana Lima e Tatiana Weston-Webb. As duas mulheres já estão garantidas em Tóquio. A classificação mais recente foi a de Silvana, no último domingo (01.12), durante a etapa de Maui, no Havaí, ao assegurar a última vaga em disputa pelo ranking mundial. Agora, o Brasil já tem 152 atletas garantidos nos Jogos. “Realmente é um sonho que está sendo realizado, de estar nas Olimpíadas, onde estão os melhores atletas do mundo. Sempre imaginei ir assistir às Olimpíadas, e agora estou indo para competir. Sou muito grata ao universo, a Deus, a todas as pessoas que estão me apoiando, aos meus patrocinadores”, comemora Silvana, que receberá a Bolsa Pódio pela primeira vez. “Acho que vai vir para me deixar mais preparada ainda, mais confortável em relação a suporte, mais tranquila para focar só no meu treinamento, na minha preparação, na minha performance”, destaca. “Acredito que a Bolsa Pódio vai me deixar mais preparada para dar o meu melhor nestes próximos meses, para ir para a Olimpíada com tudo, para mostrar a bandeira do Brasil da melhor forma”, deseja. Antes de Silvana, Tatiana havia assegurado a primeira vaga do Brasil no surfe, durante a etapa de Peniche do Circuito Mundial. “A Bolsa Pódio é um apoio enorme que o governo nos dá e poderei utilizá-lo pela primeira vez. Acho que será incrível essa ajuda, pois assim poderei me preparar ainda mais para as Olimpíadas de 2020. Espero poder representar bem nosso país”, afirma Tatiana. “O surfe ser incluído nos Jogos era um sonho de muitos e muitos anos, de muita gente. Acredito que foi bom para nós surfistas porque agora temos o selo de um esporte olímpico”, comemora. Para o secretário especial do Esporte do Ministério da Cidadania, Décio Brasil, o investimento será crucial nos últimos meses de preparação dos atletas para os Jogos Olímpicos. “Eu considero uma grande vitória da Secretaria do Esporte, e em particular da Secretaria Nacional de Alto Rendimento, porque vai beneficiar os atletas nesta reta final do ciclo olímpico, que termina no Japão. Esses atletas terão mais capacidade de se concentrar no treinamento final, e com esse respaldo administrativo que o Bolsa Atleta e o Bolsa Pódio permitem”, analisa. “Essa publicação da Bolsa Pódio atende o investimento final na preparação dos nossos atletas para Tóquio 2020. É um momento importantíssimo de lapidação da preparação deles, e acredito que é fundamental o apoio que o governo federal, por meio do Ministério da Cidadania e a Secretaria do Esporte, está dando diretamente ao atleta”, aponta o secretário de Alto Rendimento, Emanuel Rego. “A gente confia que esse investimento vai trazer bons resultados e confiança para os atletas na reta final para Tóquio”, completa. Novas figuras Além do surfe, a lista contempla outras 19 modalidades olímpicas: atletismo, boxe, ciclismo, canoagem, maratona aquática, natação, esgrima, ginástica artística, judô, caratê, levantamento de peso, skate, tênis, tiro com arco, taekwondo, tênis de mesa, vôlei de praia, vela e wrestling. Há ainda 18 modalidades paralímpicas: atletismo, bocha, esgrima em cadeira de rodas, esqui, halterofilismo, hipismo, judô, natação, badminton, canoagem, ciclismo, taekwondo, triatlo, remo, tênis de mesa, tênis em cadeira de rodas, tiro com arco e tiro esportivo. Neste ciclo olímpico, 64 atletas estão entre os contemplados com a Bolsa Pódio pela primeira vez. É o caso, por exemplo, de Aléxia Castilhos. Beneficiada pela Bolsa Atleta desde 2011, a judoca destaca a importância do apoio que já recebeu ao longo da carreira. “Foi fundamental para mim desde que comecei uma vida de alto rendimento no esporte. Vem agregando desde alimentação, pagamento de viagens, suplementações. Realmente é muito importante para mim”, comenta. Lista da Bolsa Pódio contempla 293 atletas e inclui o surfe pela primeira vez No ano passado, Aléxia conquistou o bronze nas etapas do Grand Prix de Antalya, de Zagreb e de Cancun. Neste ano, seguiu com conquistas significativas, como o bronze no Grand Prix de Montreal e nos Jogos Pan-Americanos de Lima, e a prata no Grand Slam de Brasília, que a colocaram na atual 21a colocação no ranking mundial da categoria -63kg. “Assim como está crescendo o valor da bolsa, eu estou crescendo. Quero lutar as Olimpíadas no ano que vem. Isso é fruto de treinamento e de investimento do governo, da CBJ e da Sogipa. Vai ser muito mais importante agora porque é briga por vaga olímpica e as competições são bem mais caras para conseguir ranquear”, pondera. Aos 24 anos, Aléxia disputa a vaga olímpica com a experiente Ketleyn Quadros, bronze em Pequim 2008 e companheira de clube na Sogipa, atualmente em 13o lugar na listagem da federação internacional. O foco, contudo, é pessoal. “Eu não me vejo disputando com ela, mas comigo. Sei que, se fizer a minha parte e continuar medalhando, é suficiente. Eu me preocupo com as meninas de fora e em lutar bem as competições”, explica. Leia também: https://www.i9treinamentos.com/as-30-cidades-que-menos-dependem-do-bolsa-familia-no-brasil/ A receita vem dando certo. Colecionando pódios no Circuito Mundial, a atleta, no entanto, só pensa em Tóquio. “Eu mal estou conseguindo aproveitar os títulos. São muito importantes, mas estou visando mais alto, que é a Olimpíada. Só estou olhando para ela. Sei que estou indo muito bem e, se continuar assim, com certeza vou conseguir a classificação olímpica”, projeta. Para isso, Aléxia concilia uma agenda intensa de viagens com a própria rotina de dois treinos diários. “No mês passado, fiquei três dias em casa. Foi o mês todo viajando. Depois do Grand Slam de Brasília, fui para a Oceania, depois para a China. Estava bem puxado. Este mês deu uma tranquilizada para voltar à rotina de treinos, mas no domingo vou para a China de novo para competir o World Masters, que vai ser a última competição do ano”, conta. O torneio é o que mais vale pontos para o ranking de classificação olímpica depois do Mundial. “A Bolsa Pódio vai me dar uma tranquilidade psicológica porque sei que posso investir em uma competição, em uma suplementação mais cara, em um fisioterapeuta. Além de pagar as competições, vai me dar tranquilidade para seguir treinando e não me preocupar com coisas externas”, acredita Aléxia. Motivação extra Bronze por equipes nos Jogos Paralímpicos Rio 2016, a mesatenista Danielle Rauen já encara o benefício da Bolsa Pódio como motivação a mais para os treinos. “Hoje vou fazer ponta-ponta de direita sem reclamar”, brinca, sobre um exercício da modalidade em que o atleta precisa acertar todas as bolas de forehand nas duas pontas da mesa. Dani recebe a Bolsa Atleta desde 2014 e é categoria Pódio desde 2017. “Dá um ânimo a mais nesta reta final para Tóquio. Cada mês agora será importante para a gente se preparar bem e chegar confiante e preparado. Sem receber fica difícil para a gente. Moro em São Paulo e aqui os custos são muito altos”, comenta. “Todos os custos que temos são pagos pela Bolsa Pódio. Esse apoio que temos do governo é fundamental”, acrescenta Dani. No mês passado, a Secretaria Especial do Esporte também publicou o edital da Bolsa Atleta e registrou o número recorde de 7.660 inscrições.

TOP ATHLETES SCHEDULED TO COMPETE AT DEW TOUR LONG BEACH

Dew Tour taking place June 13-16 in Long Beach, Calif. is Free and Open to the Public with World’s Best Male & Female Park and Street Skaters!

Here’s who to watch at Dew Tour:

Women��s Park

Poppy Starr Olsen (AUS), 18 -- In her short career, Olsen has a stacked resume including world champion in 2014 and 2015 and is the first Australian female to compete in the X Games. So far this year, she took first in the Vans Park Oceania Regionals and King of Concrete Prahan competitions. Olsen is looking to better her 2018 fourth place finish at Dew Tour.

Lizzie Armanto (FIN), 26 -- Armanto is a dual citizen having been raised in Santa Monica, Calif. and will be skating for Finland in her run for the 2020 Games. She is a seasoned, strong park skater who already has two first place wins for 2019: the Vans Combi Pro Bowl and the Malmo Vert Attack.

Nicole Hause (USA), 21 -- The 2018 Dew Tour women’s Park champion returns this year to defend her title and earn points as a Team USA member. Hause is known for her big air speed, and her powerful style in the park.

Men’s Park

Pedro Barros (BRA), 24 -- Pedro Barros is the winningest skater in competitive park/bowl history, dominating most every contest he enters. He is on the Brazil national skateboard team and is the 2018 Vans Park Series world champion.

Tristan Rennie (USA), 20 -- The Team USA member took third in last year’s Dew Tour park competition. His 2019 season has started strong, with a second place finish at the 15th annual Vans Combi Pool Party.

Women’s Street

Mariah Duran (USA), 22 -- The newest member of the Mountain Dew Team is known for pushing boundaries; in 2018 she won the Dew Tour Long Beach Zumiez Destroyer Award for best trick and later that year, she nabbed two X Games Gold medals in Minneapolis and Sydney.

Aori Nishimura (JPN), 17 -- Nishimura was recovering from knee surgery in 2018, and launched into 2019 with full power. She is a multi-X Games medalist and took the podium at the Street League World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil earlier this year.

Pamela Rosa (BRA), 19 -- Rosa will come into this year’s Olympic qualifier as last year’s Dew Tour champion and a strong member of the Brazil national skateboard team. She took first at the Street League stop in London this past weekend.

Men’s Street

Jagger Eaton (USA), 18 -- Hailing from Mesa, Ariz., Eaton is on an upward momentum in his career, having placed in the top five of nearly every competition he’s competed in over the past year, including second at the 2018 Dew Tour. Competing in both park and street has allowed Eaton to become one of the most progressive and versatile skateboarders in the sport that also earned him a spot on Team USA.

Ryan Sheckler (USA), 29 -- One of the sport’s biggest names, Sheckler hasn’t rested on those laurels one bit. He has his sights set on Tokyo. His Sheckler Foundation was created to support great causes that directly benefit and enrich the lives of children and injured action sports athletes, inspiring them to “Be the Change!”

Yuto Horigome (JPN), 20 -- The 2018 Dew Tour street champion has been earning top spots in the past year, including two Street League Series events, most recently in Huntington Beach. His style and strength on the street course is one to watch this summer and as the road to Tokyo (his hometown) unfolds.

Kelvin Hoefler (BRA), 25 -- Hoefler won his first skateboard contest in Brazil when he was nine. Now 16 years later, he is on the Brazil national skateboard team, and is one of the fiercest street skaters in the world. He joins Dew Tour as a 2018 Dew Tour and X Games third place finisher.

pajamaslam answered your question

“serious question time: do you think “eros” and “yuri on ice” have run...”

tbh im still surprisingly confused about what constitutes a full skating season... like i thought the grand prix was the big mama final competition but wtf is worlds... and then the four nations or w/e?? so in short idek

no, the grand prix series is relatively early in the season! it’s like the first major international competition(s), i believe (take my figure skating knowledge with a grain of salt, i’m really new to getting into the sport even though i’ve been trying to do my homework the past few months). worlds is a much bigger deal. so when yuuri bombed his first grand prix, he basically bombed his entire season as we know he essentially messed up every other competition he had following and didn’t even qualify for worlds.

from what i understand--and please more knowledgable figure skating fans please correct me if i’m wrong--a season’s timeline looks like this:

grand prix series (skate america, canada, trophee de france, rostelecom, NHK, cup of china)

grand prix final

(various nationals competitions, which may also serve as team qualifiers for europeans/4CC and worlds)

european championships (european members of the ISU - includes russia)

four continents (americas, asia, africa, oceania)

worlds

Men's World Hockey Championships In Switzerland Canceled

Health concerns and travel bans closing international borders stemming from the new coronavirus pandemic left the International Ice Hockey Federation with no choice but to cancel the men’s world hockey championships.

The decision to cancel the 16-team tournament to be held in Switzerland in May was formally announced Saturday, and essentially wipes out the IIHF’s entire spring calendar of world championship of events.

The governing body previously canceled the women’s world hockey championships set to be held in Canada and the men’s Under-18 championship to be played in Michigan next month.

“This is a harsh reality to face for the international ice hockey family, but one that we must accept,” IIHF President René Fasel said in released statement.

“The coronavirus is a global problem and requires major efforts by government to combat its spread,” he added. “The IIHF must do all it can to support this fight. We have to set sport aside for now.”

Due to the pandemic's global scale, the council ruled there was no possibility of relocating the championship to another country.

The two-week tournament was set to start May 8 with games to be played in Zurich and Lausanne.

World championship general secretary Gian Gilli referred to the decision as a “huge disappointment” but one that must be accepted.

“It is an exceptional situation for all concerned and it is now a question of resolving all the outstanding issues,” Gilli said.

The IIHF was already bracing for a cancellation after Fasel on Tuesday told The Associated Press it was “a question of when,” following an executive committee conference call.

Before making the decision official, Fasel said the IIHF had to first consult with its host and marketing partners and insurance carrier to determine what contractual obligations had to be met.

Fasel cited numerous challenges facing officials, ranging from health directives in place limiting attendance to travel bans making it difficult for nations to send their teams. Another issue was players lacking practice time, with most of the world’s pro hockey leagues having either indefinitely suspended or canceled their seasons.

Rosters are made up of mostly professional players, including NHLers, whose teams have either missed the playoffs or been eliminated in the early rounds.

On Monday, the NHL announced it will wait 45 days before it can provide guidance on when teams can potential reopen practice.

“It’s really scary,” Fasel told The AP on Tuesday by phone from his native Switzerland. “Europe is just collapsed. It’s really a strange feeling. Our neighbors yesterday, the federal counsel decided to close all the restaurants and everything. It’s like war.”

With championship host sites already determined through 2025, the IIHF has yet to determine whether it will consider altering its schedule and allow Switzerland to host next year’s championship.

Belarus and Latvia were selected to co-host the tournament next year.

The IIHF council also voted to postpone its annual congress set to take place in Zurich, Switzerland in May.
