In Ottawa right now it's 34°C, but feels like 41 (that would be the heat index). According to my weather app it's cooler than that in Toronto by now, but I don't know how accurate that is. It's affecting Canada Day celebrations of the Hill here.

So to change the subject just a bit, has anyone heard a whisper about when Boyang will arrive at TCC? He’s not competing until November 2-4 (Finland) so he has some time, but when you’re changing coaches, I’d think more time than less would be helpful.....
Thanks ...The thing is, he was supposed to be there or at least Brian mentioned mid-June so that was around the time Jason and Zhenya showed up but he was spotted in Harbin. There's a theory that he chose to stay there until The Ice (click), he's scheduled to attend that in Japan but I have no idea how anyone thinks that is a good idea, as the dates for that are end of July/beginning of August. He's still in Harbin though, that's for sure.
Is anyone worried that the Chinese Fed could use Boyang to make a “statement”, as they supposedly did with Cup of FinlandNotChina?
That would be so sad :sad21:

Thanks ...
Does he still have people he works with in his home club in Harbin....?

Well, from my experience on the Russian side of the border, it's a nice time of year to be in Manchuria.Yes, his old coaches. I'm sure he's not idle and he's working with them but August to start with a new coach, if that indeed is the date, seems awfully late.
If they are, then they're being dumb. But then again, this is the same fed that decided that Han Yan wasn't worth their time (despite the fact there is NO ONE ELSE other than Boyang).
ETA: I'm typing this as I'm watching Han Yan at 4CC FS. Yeah, he didn't do so well, but I mean come on, who else has the quality of skating he has? What do I know... :roll eye:

Huh? What kind of statement?
The statement would be, "We lost face because the ISU disciplined some Chinese judges, so we are not going to host Cup of China and we are not going to send Jin to his training site in Canada, so there!"
(I'm not saying that the Chinese Federation has any such ideas, but people do get their noses out of joint and do foolish things believing that they are "saving face" by being recalcitrant.)
If Boyang is looking forward to a 4 year commitment to training in Canada with 2022 in view, a transition month back home in Harbin sounds healthy.Uhhh yeah, that makes no sense. I think people are projecting their paranoia. Chinese ice dance teams are already in Montreal and they just announced two skaters with Raf.
Per her instastory, looks like Zhenya's gotten to enjoy the fireworks! And Jason seems to be having fun celebrating Canada Day on the island, true Toronto style! Though like kudos to the gang partying on the island because it was so toasty today that my friends and I cancelled our usual island hangout.
