+++La notizia più bella oggi è questa.
La Fondazione Jannik Sinner e l'UNICEF hanno firmato un contratto di collaborazione per garantire un'istruzione a quasi 100.000 bambini e bambine che vivono in emergenza in contesti di crisi umanitarie e guerre.

I keep reading nasty takes on the donations during Ilia's streams and his reactions about them, and, as you can expect, I wanted to comment on that. 😜
Of course, the amount of these donations is not insignificant and, considering the niche sport figure skating is, the money do actually help Ilia. It does not matter whether he would invest those in any skating gear or in his student life or in his home furniture or streamer equipment - as long as he is happy with the investment, it is all good.
But his sweet happy reactions are not because of the donations per se. One can clearly hear how his voice overwhelmingly breaks down and his eyes start blickering with emotions. And this right here is not related to money, it's all about a realization Ilia is slowly coming to - that people genuinely love HIM. Not just the skater Ilia Malinin but the sweet 21-year-old Virginia boy, beyond the medals and off rink. And that he has given people so many happy moments that they would like to give him something back. Every single donation - be it $1 or $500 - is mentioned by Ilia and he keeps thanking his fans, always claiming how "blessed" he is. He often says no one needs to donate - just being on the stream is enough, wishes good night to people leaving late at night or happy birthdays, answers questions, interacts as much as possible while enjoying his game. The streams slowly transformed from "Ilia playing video games" to "Ilia sharing his free time with fans while playing video games" - and it's a beautiful interaction which will only grow stronger, I believe. And will give Ilia the confidence that people do love and support him, and will continue doing so.
We are the blessed ones, my boy. Thank you for everything! 🤍

A drag path etched in the surface
As evidence I left there on purpose
A sad sap laying on the surface
Can you find me?
I dug my heels into the gravel
As evidence for you to unravel
Can you find me?

Jacob's program of kimetsu no yaiba was really cool, Im sure that he's going to land that quad this season, it wasnt this time but the next, he will nail it.
And Kao, omg let's goooo so many quads there planned, this season will be exciting :3
The results of the men's final of Kinoshita cup!!

1/2
Lev lazarev and the boys watching the women's free skate at Bangok!!
(Who are the other two? I remember their faces but not their names Id guess the one on the left is from Australia and the other from belarus? But Idk tbh)
After watching Kinoshita, I have a lot of thoughts.
Sending all my support to Petr.
Huge respect to Vlad.
Rio did great, but I don’t see anything truly unique there.
That music just doesn’t work for Jacob.
Kao really needs to work on his confidence
And compared to all of this, Ilia Malinin at Lombardia last year, in a simple training outfit, skating that SP… looked absolutely unreal. Just ridiculously gorgeous🔥
There’s honestly no comparison. Ilia is truly a gift from the heavens to this sport💎
