Driver Profiles: Lance Stroll
Hello, this is part of a series where I focus on one driver on the current (as of Oct 2024) grid and give an overview over their career and driving styles. I will be going in championship points order. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
Name: Lance Strulovitch
Age: 25
Nationality: Canadian
Years in F1: 8 (Williams 2017-2018, Racing Point/Aston Martin 2019-Present)
Number: 18
WDCs: N/A
Driving Style: Stroll is know to have a rather reactive and sensitive driving style. This sensitivity means that he his highly tuned in to his car, and can easily analyze if anything is wrong with the setup, which is very helpful for his team. He is also a driver who takes corners at high speeds, allowing himself to gain seconds where other driver lose them. In general he pushes to the limits, and so this paired with his sensitivity makes him a great driver to develop a car around. He tends to take much more risks than other drivers do, which has led to some stand out performances. The negative side of his style is that his aggression in turns can sometimes be sacrificed for precision, meaning he is prone to crashing in tough battles around corners. He has also been criticized as being over eager in overtaking situations and pushing the card too hard, leading to contact or lost positions.
History:
Stroll is the son of Canadian Billionaire Lawrence Stroll, and started karting at the age of 10 in 2008. He would win multiple races and championships in North America, and won rookie of the year in 2008. That same year, Stroll won the Italian Open Masters 60cc category, showcasing his natural talent and determination. 2 years later, he became the youngest champion in the Florida Winter Tour - Rotax Max Junior category, impressing the racing community and garnering European attention. He would become a Ferrari Academy Driver in 2010. In 2013 he had a breakthrough year, winning the CIK-FIA European Championship - KF category, his first real foray into intense European competition.

In 2014 he debuted in car racing, at the Florida Winter Racing Series. he would have positive results, achieving multiple podiums and pole positions. Stroll took part in the 2014 Italian F4 Championship, and despite missing the final round due to injury, Stroll emerged as series champion, taking seven race wins, thirteen podium finishes, and five pole positions.
Tumblr media

At the beginning of 2015, Stroll won the New Zealand-based Toyota Racing series, earning ten podiums and four wins. In the same year, he also drove in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship. He won one race and achieved six total podium finishes, coming in 5th in the standings. 2015 was also the year Stroll left the Ferrari Drivers Academy and joined Williams as a test driver.
In 2016 Stroll competed yet again in the F3 championship, and dominated the season, clinching his win before the last race 187 points above his nearest competitor. He earned 14 wins and 20 podiums throughout the year, in the process gaining more attention from F1 teams. In late 2016 it was announced he would be driving for Williams in the 2017 season.
Tumblr media
(Stroll after winning the F3 title)
His first year with Williams was a very positive ones. His early races saw a few retirements due to crashes and mechanical errors, but he achieved his first podium and became the second youngest driver after Max Verstappen to finish on the podium in F1, at the age of 18 years and 239 days. He also broke a record at the 2017 Italian GP, when he became the youngest F1 driver to start on the front row at the age of 18 years and 310 days. He ended the season 12th in the championship and winning half of his teams points. Furthermore, he gained more positions on opening lap than any other driver that year.
Tumblr media
(Stroll on the podium with Williams)
2018 he remained with Williams and had a much more negative year, mostly due to the Williams car being the slowest car on the field by a wide margin. He finished 18th in the championship that year. This led Stroll to sign with another team for the 2019 season.
2019 was when his saga with Racing Point (later renamed Aston Martin) started and he still remains with the team today. He replaced Esteban Ocon to team Sergio Perez after his father led a consortium to purchasing the dying Force India team. This move gained him a lot of criticism, as many detractors stated he bought his seat. His first year with Racing Point was not particularly good. He only finished in the points a few times and was outpaced by his teammate on multiple occasions. 2020 was a better year for Stroll. He regularly found himself in high points positions, and earned his 2nd career podium at the Italian GP and his 3rd at the Sakhir GP. He was on his way to earning 4th in the championship, until a series of mechanical failures and a stint of illness dropped him down to finish in 10th.
Tumblr media
(Stroll's second podium)
2021 saw the team become renamed Aston Martin and his new teammate was 4x WDC Sebastian Vettel. This year was less positive than 2021, and his highest finish was 6th at the Qatar GP. 2022 was an even more negative year, and he only was able to earn points a handful of times. In 2023 Vettel retired and Stroll's new teammate was 2x WDC Fernando Alonso. This year was a mixed bag for Stroll. While he had some of his highest finishes since 2020, he also was heavily out paced by his teammate, and scored 74 points to Alonso's 206. Again he was criticized by the public, and Aston Martin had to publicly defend his seat against critics.
Tumblr media
(Stroll with teammate Fernando Alonso)
2024 so far has been another mixed bag year for Stroll. While he still is being outpaced by his teammate, he has had some high points finishes. At the Australian GP he finished 6th and achieved 7th at his home race in Canada. As of right now, Stroll is set to remain with Aston Martin in 2025, teaming once again with Fernando Alonso.
Tumblr media
(Stroll in his 2024 Aston Martin)
Major Races:
2017 Canadian GP - Stroll's first points, he picked his way up the field to 9th place after qualifying 17th. A fantastic race where he showed how his aggression can help with overtakes.
2017 Baku GP - Stroll's first podium in his rookie year with Williams. The race was a chaotic one, filled with multiple crashes. Stroll managed to maneuver around the drama, climbing his way from 8th to 2nd. He held off much faster cars for the majority of the race, and would have finished 2nd until Valtteri Bottas passed him in the last lap.
2020 Turkish GP - In one of the biggest surprised ever, Stroll took his first pole position after a wet quali session. He demonstrated his skill in difficult conditions and his ability to push the car to its limits. Though he did not finish on the podium due to strategic errors, his qualifying showed he was a capable driver.
2020 Italian GP - Another podium finish for Stroll, he drove a consistent race and managed once again to avoid any on track drama from crashes. He showed his shrewd driving style by taking advantage of other drivers mistakes.
2023 Bahrain GP - When Stroll broke both wrists and his toe, and had to get surgery pre-season, most assumed he would not drive in the season opener. Even though he was still not healed properly, showing grit and massive mental strength, Stroll raced in Bahrain and was able to score high points, finishing in 6th position.
That's all for Stroll. Up next is Yuki Tsunoda.
Cheers,
-B

Considered one of the greatest skating pairs of all time, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir spent nearly a decade at the top of their sport to become the most decorated ice dancers in the world. Over more than two decades of extraordinary athletic partnership, Tessa and Scott became the first and only ice dance team to win every major international junior and senior skating competition. At the height of their success between 2008 and 2019 they took home a record-setting five Olympic medals, three World Championships, eight Canadian National Championships and won the Four Continents Championship three times. The pair first skated into the hearts of Canadians at the Olympic Winter Games in 2010, thrilling crowds in Vancouver as they became the youngest athletes and first North Americans to win Olympic Gold in ice dancing. Nearly a decade later Tessa and Scott secured their iconic status with a beguiling Gold medal performance that smashed the world record for overall score in free dance at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
Growing up in London, Ontario, Tessa took to the ice at the age of six after deciding she didn’t want to be the only student in her class who couldn’t skate during a school field trip. Raised in a figure skating family in nearby Ilderton, Ontario, Scott had been skating since he was three years old, coached by his mother Alma and his aunt Carol. First collaborating in 1997 when Tessa was seven years old and Scott was nine, the pair were initially so shy they could barely talk to each other. Building confidence while developing undeniable on-ice chemistry, Tessa and Scott shared a commitment to excellence that continually helped them overcome adversity. The two made enormous sacrifices to hone their craft, embracing success and failure as equal opportunities for growth and turning vulnerability into compelling artistry. Training rigorously to perfect innovative choreography, they pushed boundaries by approaching ice dancing as both creative expression and high performance sport, skating with an emotional sincerity that captivated audiences around the world.
After raising the profile of ice dancing to breathtaking new heights, Tessa and Scott retired from competitive skating in 2019. Since then, Scott has served as head coach and managing director of the Ice Academy of Montreal’s satellite program in London, Ontario. He has also been a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusivity in skating. Tessa completed both an MBA from the Smith School of Business, and a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Tessa is an executive advisor at Deloitte, where she helps to unlock the potential of the Canadian workforce in the realm of high performance and wellbeing. She also serves on the board for Her Mark, a charity that empowers young girls through the power of sport, and Motionball, an organization that fundraises for Special Olympics athletes.  
Tumblr media
Considérés comme l’un des plus grands couples de patinage artistique de tous les temps, Tessa Virtue et Scott Moir ont passé près d’une décennie au sommet de leur sport pour devenir les danseurs sur glace les plus primés du monde. Au cours de leur partenariat sportif extraordinaire qui a duré plus de deux décennies, Tessa et Scott sont devenus la première et la seule équipe de danse sur glace à remporter toutes les compétitions majeures internationales de patinage artistique junior et senior. À l’apogée de leur succès, soit entre 2008 et 2019, ils remportent un nombre record de cinq médailles olympiques, trois Championnats du monde, huit Championnats nationaux canadiens et ils remportent également le Four Continents Championship à trois reprises. Le couple a conquis les cœurs des Canadiens lors des Jeux olympiques d’hiver de 2010, enthousiasmant les foules à Vancouver en devenant les plus jeunes athlètes et les premiers Nord-Américains à remporter l’or olympique en danse sur glace. Près d’une décennie plus tard, aux Jeux olympiques de 2018 à Pyeongchang, Tessa et Scott consolident leur statut emblématique en donnant une performance enlevante qui leur vaudra la médaille d’or et qui pulvérise alors le record du monde pour la note globale obtenue en danse libre.
Tessa a grandi à London, en Ontario et a commencé à patiner à l’âge de six ans après avoir décidé lors d’une sortie scolaire qu’elle ne serait pas la seule élève de sa classe incapable de patiner. Élevé dans une famille de patineurs artistiques, non loin de là, à Ilderton, en Ontario, Scott a commencé à patiner dès l’âge de trois ans. Sa mère Alma et sa tante Carol ont été ses premières entraîneures. La première collaboration du couple survient en 1997 alors que Tessa a sept ans et Scott neuf ans. Ils sont alors si timides qu’ils arrivent à peine à se parler. Gagnant en confiance au fur et à mesure qu’ils développent leur complicité indéniable sur la glace, Tessa et Scott partagent un engagement envers l’excellence qui les a constamment aidés à surmonter l’adversité. Ils ont tous deux fait d’énormes sacrifices pour perfectionner leur art, en embrassant les succès et les échecs comme des opportunités égales de croissance et en transformant la vulnérabilité en un style artistique saisissant. S’entraînant rigoureusement pour perfectionner des chorégraphies innovantes, ils ont repoussé les limites en abordant la danse sur glace à la fois comme une expression créative et un sport de haute performance, patinant avec une sincérité émotionnelle qui a captivé les publics du monde entier.
Après avoir élevé le profil de la danse sur glace à de nouveaux sommets époustouflants, Tessa et Scott ont pris leur retraite de la compétition en 2019. Depuis lors, Scott occupe le poste d’entraîneur en chef et de directeur général du programme satellite de l’Académie de glace de Montréal à London, en Ontario. Il a également été un ardent défenseur de la diversité et de l’inclusivité dans le patinage. Tessa a obtenu un MBA de la Smith School of Business ainsi qu’une maîtrise en psychologie positive appliquée de l’Université de Pennsylvanie. Tessa est conseillère exécutive chez Deloitte, où elle contribue à libérer le potentiel de la main-d’œuvre canadienne dans le domaine de la haute performance et du bien-être. Elle siège également au conseil d’administration de Her Mark, une association caritative qui autonomise les jeunes filles par le biais du sport, et de Motionball, un organisme qui recueille des fonds pour les athlètes d’Olympiques spéciaux.
Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame is honoured to be presenting Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir with the prestigious Order of Sport award on Thursday, October 19, 2023 as a member of the incredible Class of 2023.

De La Iglesia Takes GP Espoo Win over Lee
Both Headed to The Final
November 27, 2022
ESPOO, FINLAND – Guang-hong de la Iglesia of China came from second place after the short to win the free over Seung-gil Lee of South Korea. The two-time Olympic medalist scored 101.95 for his short, 210.82 for his free and 312.77 overall. “I knew that I need to be on my toes this weekend, and I’m so happy to bring home a win,” said the 23-year-old. “I’m looking forward to competing and showing my stuff at the Final.” It will be his second Final after placing fourth in 2019.
2020 Four Continents Champion Seung-gil Lee of South Korea was a very solid silver. He scored 102.42 for his short, 205.82 for his free, and 308.24 overall. “Obviously, I’m disappointed that I didn’t win a GP event, but I’m still satisfied with how I skated,” said the 25-year-old. “I’m looking forward to my third final and to bringing home a medal.” Lee is looking a busy couple of weeks too, as the Korean National Ranking Competition – required to compete at Four Continents – takes place the week before.
Three-time Canadian medalist Louis Leroy was a surprise bronze medal, narrowly defeating teenage phenom Kirill Anishin of the US. The younger brother of reigning Olympic Champion Jean-Jacques Leroy, Leroy scored 90.29 for his short, 188.59 for his free, and 278.88. It is only .49 ahead of reining Junior World Champion Anishin, who was third in the free. “I’m so excited to win a GP medal,” said the 22-year-old. “I’ve been making so much progress since moving to Japan, and I’m glad it’s finally paying off.”

A mail bag
Not too much no drama (yes in message box but not puckbunny type)
A)anon I don't think Ovechkin will even with his empty netters reach Howe's record. Not like he is not good enough but the rules were different then and Ovi is ,veteran, player
Tumblr media
B) his first name is Kris not Alex letang. No osing together nonstop does not mean The Letangs are not together lol. Crosby Interesting runs Toews Kane Interesting and so similar bs about Amanda and Kaner . Amanda is pregnant . I still miss to see BrinCat in Chicago. Goals and fun Not certain wags.
Tumblr media
C) Marketa was an ice hockey boss of Tomas Hertl, in her tender age back in Prague years back. 15 years back and so. The man with a winning goal against Canada in Nagano was a coach of her team HC Slavia Prague. They tanked financially when she has left for UK and so any other ice hockey club with that ice hockey coach later on. If not bankrupt so at the bottom with no results , say Filip Hronek's home team where the coach's 2nd wife a pole dancer and 25 years his junior has sent her naked photos to the ice hockey players and cheated on him. The coach wanted a money from the parents for minor players to be on the roster and it is apparently typical for young Czech ice hockey. Nepotism, destroyed potential talents with serfdom and bad campaigns, stops and methods and tactics stuck in Stone age, big wigs in their association shopping with their wives in designer boutiques of Czech Madison Avenue. No shock Markle has found her soundboard. The other coach who was young and promoted as a modern expert sucked all enthusiasm fromCzech star NHL team but problems with anybody from their national League and a scoring Czech player. With Canadian scoring player, young players were lazy and not training enough like Jagr with his squats, older players were not in touch with his modern methods, Czech NHLers too primadonnas. They knew M and her development, tips, strategy. It's her ice hockey idea frame what they play now even she has no input in. Marketa was a sport journo as a teenager, keen to write anything and so any small feature or cover female basketball players in Brno. She got up to the ladder gradually, so other female sport journos. I don't mean this one in this outfit but yes she is beautiful and so other girls.
M was always very strict and she is very strict with taming David J now and his ventures how she calls it from New Foundland and Ohio to Florida to have stupid manners of communist pensioners about little helpers when he is not good with his puck handling and no cupped blade of stock or two hands on during scoring. Compared to old structures she supports their brain and play intelligence learning from mistakes . Their national teams were not obedient to listen to their coach unless it was a former star ice hockey player, even voracek has a problem to do it in 2019. All their junior teams were arguing cliques and so with Zacha. Then a lot of things changed. They became a great team despite having not an ice hockey player coach who trolled them on the top. Not good with quick dangles, dekes on the way to the net or quick puck handling for scoring so the goal keeper is able to prepare for the shot but their ice hockey is 3D and very attractive, modern ice hockey. Hertl was a top scorer not ages ago. I would type the last post with M's photos today and I close this topic for next and following year(s). How get an entry to army and be relevant female biz leader lol
D) Brown shoes of Jonathan Toews on New Year day.!!!!! I analyzed them.

Bio: Logan Campbell
Tumblr media
FC: Crystal Reed
Full Name: Logan Catherine Campbell
Species: Human
Fandom: fandomless
Birthdate: October 11, 1984
Age: 40
Birth Stats: 7lbs11oz, 20” long, 2:22AM
Height: 5’9”
Birthplace: Atlanta, Georgia
Current Residence: Boston, Massachusetts
Nationality: American
Occupation: Schoolteacher, CDC Doctor (formerly)
Religion: Christianity (Roman Catholicism)
Politics: Democrat
Marital Status: Single (divorced)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Family: Michael Campbell (father), Natalie Campbell (mother), Grace Kendra (younger sister), James Levi (ex-husband)
Children: Andrea Grace Levi (daughter), Samantha Beatrice (daughter), Samuel Michael (son)
Logan was born to Native American father Michael and Canadian mother Natalie on October 11, 1984, at Emory Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. She has one younger sister, Grace, who is three years her junior. Michael worked as a college professor and Samantha was a nurse. Growing up with an intense passion for both history and science, it took Logan a while to settle on an intended major upon high school graduation. Eventually, however, she settled on science. This led to a job at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) soon after.
College proved more transformative than Logan ever anticipated. She joined a sorority. During her freshman year she met a Creative Writing major named James. After some initial back-and-forth, they went on a tentative date. Nothing really came of it and so the two decided to remain friends. Things got intimate during a Greek Life mixer a few months later. One thing led to another and Logan became pregnant. Upon telling their respective parents, the two married that June. On October 11, 2004, an hour after she turned 20 years old, Logan gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Andrea Grace. The new family moved into a small apartment off-campus for the remainder of Logan’s undergraduate years. Her father Michael died on February 3, 2005, of surgical complications.
Sadly, all was not well in the Levi household. A combination of marrying too young, already being parents, and the usual college stresses led to a gradual drifting apart by the duo. One morning, when Andrea was ten months old, Logan found evidence James was cheating. He confessed quickly and agreed to an annulment. Logan and Andrea moved into a sorority sister’s place for the next six months. She graduated with honors and soon began applying for jobs. Eventually, she came to work at the CDC. A small college fund for Andrea, should she choose to go, was opened up in 2006. During her late 20s and early 30s, she also got a teaching degree. Mostly online, of course. In 2015, the mother and daughter moved to Boston, Massachusetts.
By 2019, however, Logan retired from her role at the prestigious organization. No one really knows why. Burnout was the most likely explanation. A career shift to teaching soon followed. Andrea left for college in May 2022. Logan began dating seriously again to no avail. With trusted friends by her side, she began IVF. On Halloween night, 2024, 20 days after her 40th birthday, Logan gave birth at home to twins: a daughter named Samantha Beatrice and a son named Samuel Michael. During the pregnancy, she did not know she was expecting twins.

Devante Smith-Pelly (June 14, 1992) is a Canadian former ice hockey winger. He was selected by the Anaheim Ducks in the second round, 42nd overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He played in the style of a power forward and was known for his hitting and forechecking abilities. He won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Capitals in 2018.
He was born in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada to Wayne Pelly, who oversees a limousine company, and Jacqueline Smith, who works in corporate communications, raised him and his younger brother in the Toronto suburbs.
He played hockey since he was a young boy, but lived in a middle-class household, so it was difficult for his parents to afford for him to play the sport. He helped his parents with costs by switching over to basketball when he was 15 years old. While attending Brandon University in Manitoba, he and his team won three consecutive national basketball championships but he knew hockey was the game he wanted to play and focused on it later.
He began his career in the Greater Toronto Hockey League as a scorer. He made headlines in Toronto by scoring 38 goals in 85 games. A year he played in the Greater Toronto Hockey League, moved up to the junior level, and joined the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors in the Ontario Hockey League during the 2009-2010 season. In three seasons, he scored 25 points in 57 games and ended with 153 points in 184 games. He joined the National Hockey League in 2010 and was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks in 2010 during the NHL’s second draft. He helped the team of rookies with 7 goals, 49 games, 13 points, and 66 shots. In 2015, he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens after playing for the Ducks for two more seasons.
During the next season (2016) was traded to the New Jersey Devils and the following year, in 2017, he joined the Washington Capitals as a right winger. He helped the team win the Stanley Cup in 2018. In 2019 he left the National Hockey League to join the Chinese team, Kunlun Red Star, which is in the Kontinental Hockey League. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Top places to visit in Calgary, AB
Calgary is a vibrant city that’s full of culture, history and nature. It has something for everyone, including the young and old alike. If you're planning a visit to Calgary, here are my top picks for places to explore during your time in this Alberta city.
Tumblr media
Glenbow Museum
The Glenbow Museum is an art and history regional museum in the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The museum focuses on Western Canadian history and culture, including Indigenous perspectives.
Tumblr media
The Glenbow Museum is an art and history regional museum in the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The museum focuses on Western Canadian history and culture, including Indigenous perspectives. The Glenbow was established as a private non-profit foundation in 1955 by lawyer, businessman and philanthropist Eric Lafferty Harvie with materials from his personal collection.
The museum moved to its current facility in downtown Calgary in 1976, and is funded by the governments of Calgary, Alberta and Canada, private donors, as well as an endowment provided by Harvie. In 2019, the Glenbow had a total of 148,668 visitors. The museum closed temporarily for renovations in 2021, and will re-open in 2024.
Glenbow is a place of confluence. A meeting point for people and communities to join a flow of ideas, knowledge, opinions and experiences. Our exceptional collection of art and historical objects represents the people and ideas that have shaped our region. That collection is complemented and contextualized by travelling exhibitions that explore historical and contemporary art, fashion, design and innovation from around the world.
We are committed to expanding the accessibility and impact of art and culture in our community through exhibitions and programs that provide meaningful experiences for all visitors. As an independent, non-profit member-based organization, we generate over 60% of our operating revenue through fundraising, museum and program admissions, and memberships.
The Military Museums
The Military Museums of Calgary, Alberta is the largest tri-service museum in Western Canada and the second largest military museum in the country. The Military Museums is home to eight separate museums including the Naval, Army and Air Force Museums of Alberta, the Air Force Cold War Museum, the four museums of the founding regiments, Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI), The King's Own Calgary Regiment and The Calgary Highlanders. It also includes the UCalgary Founders' Gallery and Library & Archives.
Tumblr media
Most units, regiments and branches of the Canadian Armed Forces have museums dedicated to their specific history; some are large and well-funded, others are small and struggle to survive. Whatever their size, they are almost always housed separately, even when located within the same base or geographic area.
In the mid to late 1980s, a combination of environmental conditions and lack of public access to the existing regimental museums in Calgary created the catalyst for change. A group of dedicated citizens came together to find ways to preserve the valuable artifacts and archives belonging to the local regiments. When the Department of National Defence (DND) made Sir Sam Steele Junior High School surplus, Calgarians raised $6.5 million to convert the school and create The Museum of the Regiments (MOR).
With the support of DND, the collections of two regular force regiments and two reserve regiments became housed under one roof, each regiment being provided with its own gallery in which to display artifacts, memorabilia and equipment. This greatly enhanced the connection between Canada’s military heritage and the Canadian public, particularly its youth.

Early life and education.
Jedaiah Mosha Lim was born on April 24, 1995, in Seoul, and grew up in there. He moved to Jakarta in 2011 due to personal reasons and so he work both in South Korea and Indonesia under the same agency, HLA & Co. Jeremiah Lim, his father, is a Canadian-Korean chef who runs restaurants in several countries. Inggrid Carmelita Lee, his mother, is an Indonesian-Korean. The first born of Lim, Theodosia Lim, is a business woman who owns a beauty brand Skèenosia with the help of Mosha Lim as co-owner and the brand ambassador. His brother, Joe Lim, is an editor for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
He is a multilingual speaker. He communicates in Korean, English, and Bahasa Indonesia. Yet he stated that he is not fluent in Bahasa Indonesia¹.
Rise to prominence.
Mosha is a South Korean actor under Hoshka Lim Agency (HLA & Co.). The issue was raging because his name was similar to the agency and people started calling him Nepo Baby. Yet the agency released their statement that Mosha is a self made-up actor who built his reputation from scratch.
He began his career as a kid in television productions, appearing in the drama series Run Away in 2000. In 2004 he made his film debut in the comedy drama How to Be Gangnamian and appeared in Jo Kihyun’s romance film Should Be You as Lee Yoo. Mosha came to international attention with the lead role in Brigitta Kim’s film What Mommy Should Do (2006), earning him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Alongside supporting roles in Monica Gerwig's films To The Bone (2007) and I Am You (2012), he took on starring roles as drug addict Denny ‘Sinting’ Yang in the Indonesian movie Kapan Kapok? (2015), Joe Kim in Henry Leigh's fiction film Memory (2020), and a romantic horror film Three of Us (2022), which he also produced.
Public image and fashion.
Several media publications consider Lim to be among the most talented actors of his generation.Remarking upon his performance, Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote that “he might be the male actor of his generation”. In 2018, he appeared in Forbes’s 30 Under 30 Hollywood & Entertainment list.
Off-screen, Lim has been described by the media as a fashion icon, with his looks highlighted as his trademarks. Vogue named him the most influential man in fashion in 2019, writing “those fashion choices are all the more impressive considering that Lim styles himself”. In 2020, GQ ranked him as the best-dressed man in the world.
Personal life.
Lim splits his time between Seoul and Jakarta. Despite significant media attention and public interest, he rarely discusses the romantic aspects of his personal life.
Lim is an avid sports fan; in his youth, he aspired to be a professional swimmer. He enjoys hip-hop music and considers rapper Kid Cudi to be his biggest career inspiration.

I will collect my thoughts a bit more but this was my first season watching skating, specifically ice dance, and how exciting it was!
My favorite programs definitely included both RD and FD for LaLa, Lolo and Nik’s FD, Kaitlyn and Jean Luc’s FD, both of CPom’s programs, Green/Parsons RD, and Piper and Paul’s Evita (I know it was unpopular, Broadway really gets me feeling things and I thought they did it well even if not super innovative or complex).
I liked Lily and Nathan’s programs, hope they can get a boost next year. And Miku and Tyler at Canadian Nationals made me emotional with their FD. There were other things that I grew to like in pieces, like some parts of Lilah and Lewis’s Gaga, Charlene and Marco’s FD music, Madi C’s outright star energy on ice. I guess I liked at least a small something from most teams. Maybe I’ll develop more of a critics lens as I keep watching the sport, but I think I just appreciated what these athletes did throughout the season on the whole.
Recently, loved Hannah and Ye! They did so well at World Team Trophy. Of the other juniors, I watched a few but mostly at IAMO with Scott Moir being the head coach of the school, but I really enjoyed Noah and Jordan’s FD and liked Layla and Alex’s as well (Broadway again, yes!)
Also in general I’ve been loving watching any and all BTS from IAM and IAMO. I’ve been reflecting on how important it is to have community in general, and particularly as adults when that more easily fades away, and I’m so happy to see the community of skaters who seem to truly support each other coming out of that school. I can’t wait to see what happens in the off season, I’m not sure how long I can wait for new programs, I can’t believe the whole summer has to come and go!
Thanks for being such a fun and informative source of information this season. Looking forward to more!
Aww I love this- thanks for sharing 🥰 i get critical sometimes and disappointed by judging shenanigans, but the teams themselves, anyone competing at the senior GP level is a highly accomplished and dedicated athlete, and some are beautiful performers and artists - it makes me really happy to watch. and seeing the talent in juniors and watching their progression is also❤️
have you watched Broadway RD season??? 2019-20 and 2020-21 both were Broadway/operetta/musicals. if you love Broadway, there were so many fun programs - Lolo and Nik’s Bonnie and Clyde was my favorite those seasons, but it was a good theme for variety. Skating ISU on youtube has entire RD events still up, like from 4CC and Europeans in 2020, which adds up to most of the top teams, though you might need a vpn. maybe you know all this, but if you didn’t, you might really like it☺️
i love the sense of community and kindness and friendship the skaters at the IAM schools have too - it makes the sport better when schools foster those values. you can feel the night and day difference in women’s skating this season compared to the Eteri years. the winning at all costs mentality was so toxic that it’s like the sun came out in their absence
we don’t have to wait for the whole summer to come and go🤗 there are summer competitions 🥳 the very first ones start end of June, just over 2 months from now. the first one with a good number of dance teams is often Lake Placid International end of July, and Skate Canada has been streaming its Next Gen development camp from July sectionals around the same time. and then JGPs start Aug 23 in Bangkok this year

“OP who referred to Gogolev as a 'premature new senior' must have forgotten that he is the 2019 Canadian silver medalist. Also, he got assigned to Skate America because he was on the season's best list and he trains in America, not because Skate Canada had some sudden shortage of senior men. He withdrew in the end, so maybe he'll be 'cooked' enough by the OP's standard when he skates again.🙃”
((mod note: the op was mistaken, he withdrew because of a supposed injury, not because he wasn’t ready.))
