I don't like the inclusion of sponsor in this a little bit, but since it's there I believe Alina is the only skater testimonial for a non sport related worldwide known brand.
Only other thing to say is "Natan Who?!"
Nathan OR Yuzuru (see below for why "OR")
I'm most puzzled at having two man out of 3 nominees.
It should be said that both of them are the stars of an entire great skating school (US and JP) so it is understandable indeed.
P/C just have a demigod status nobody can deny.
I will just exclude the award.

You’ve inspired me, El. Maybe next year Golden Skate could add an annual award honoring skaters for Outstanding Community Service—like the Walter Payton! I can think of several worthy candidates. Admins, what say you?
Who did the most for figure skating popularity this year? To me is the 3A: their flooded the skating scene like a tidal wave and their friendly rivarly is the most amazing thing that happened in skating in years.
whole post
And I am certain if GS had a community service award, the invitation would be for nominees from throughout the world of figure skating. It's difficult for folks to know what every skater is doing, but I'm sure we'd be glad to learn.:agree:
Not "Skating Awards" but "Skating Awkwards"
Warning - if you don't care for Yuzu fanning, skip this one
[...]
Unfortunately they can't give the MVP to the nebulous entity that is 3A - and they would not thank you for it if you did - and none of the three broke out as the individual media superstar outside Russia (I still believe that if Trusova starts winning the way she was expected to, she may be the next superstar, even bigger than Evgenia and Alina or Mao). Maybe the fault of outside forces, the climax of their story got hijacked along with Worlds, but there it is.
Yes, I'm biased in this. Don't bother mentioning it
Let's all just enjoy this fluff and not worry about the lack of transparency. It's not as if such an award replaces winning a Championship!
Do they mean the Hanyu free costume he won for 2 seasons or the one he wore for 3 seasons

Did they really say they're dropping the Worlds Gala permanently? I was okay with this being a one off, but I want my worlds gala back
I don't think it's noted on the Worlds 2021 official website yet, but i believe this went out to those who subscribed to the ticket newsletter and it says:
"Tickets to the single events and the ISU Award will be available in the beginning of the fall 2020." :dev2:
So beware of your innocent participation to this virtual award show might lead to kill off for Worlds gala in future.
I love Yuzuru.
I hope the "OR" in my post was clear
Yuzuru and Alina are the stars, Aliona and Nathan are the season's MVP.
It is not even clear what they wanted us to vote about.

I guess this is meant to be shady, but really the variation between Yuzu’s (Satomi’s) Origin 1.0 and 2.0 costumes is more marked than most men’s whole FS costume wardrobe
No offence, but both costumes were used only this season. The purple Origin costume was completely different from the black one and the Seimei one used different colours from the previous.
