He looks so puzzled.

As expected, Yuzu's Worlds H&L performance is Jackie Wong's nr. 1 of the season.

This could get distracting...

Are they going to be creating a sports complex where the Sendai Rink is, with a football field as well?

Noooo, taketh away!!

Damn twitter mistaking me on how recent some things are again. Maybe it resurfaced again because of Yuzu's assignment. It's totally new to me, though.

OMG, this is hilarious. I read that this is Chinese's fans celebration of Yuzu's assignment to Rostelecom Cup. http://www.bilibili.com/video/av998512/

Thank you so much for the translation @Fay. It's always interesting to see the comparisons. Were the SE-4S-SE in Chopin 2.0 or the SE-3A-SE in the early versions of Chopin closer to the location of the LGC 4Lo or closer to what he's doing on the shows now?

It's always nice to read other's opinions to reassure me Seimei is not a done deal.

Is that like a scarecrow with Yuzu's face? But this isn't a crops field, just a flower field?

Wait, what?

I like that he gave a lot of thought to repeating Chopin for a third season, and liked reading his reasoning for it. I always love how his interviews show how he has thought everything through so much. But it's exactly because of the repetition of Chopin that I am sort of dreading the idea that he might repeat Seimei as well. Don't get me wrong, I love Seimei, and if he wasn't already doing Chopin, I'd be one of the first waving a flag for 'bringing Seimei back for the Olympics, yes!'. But since he already has chosen Chopin as his SP, I am not particularly in love with the idea of him repeating a second program as well. There's a narrative that could form around 'playing it too safe' that I'd like him to avoid. Not to mention that then he'd put even more pressure on himself to be flawless with two programs he's been flawless with before (well, step sequence levels notwithstanding ). What happens to his motivation if he fails to go clean? He's already pissed at himself in the FaOI shows when he fails his jumps, despite the bad rink and ice conditions in those... However, given that that tumblr account that seems to be a TCC member has apparently stated that some people will like and others will be disappointed with Yuzu's FS choice, I'm more and more convinced it might be Seimei (that or a popular warhorse some people will probably facepalm at).

I was coming to post that. This is amazing!

Just found this on twitter. Not sure exactly when it was taken but Javi looks great!

Yuzuru Hanyu x Iconic Post-Skate Reactions, a Tumblr post to tie up the drought of content from today.

Yeah. She was sooo embarrassed, poor thing. We've all been there, though not in front of cameras.

LOL, Bet was like 'Stop this. Mom, stop. Mooooom. STOP IT!'

D'awwww, this is so lovely. This must have been such a 'finally' moment for both of them.

He'd already done two jumps in the second half in Makuhari, though he was doing triples in those shows. What surprises me here is the 4T. Is he going for the 4Lo in the SP or not after all?

I was reading the article. They don't seem to have much of a change in team, except for dismissing the main coach. Zimmerman is not going to be working full time with them, I don't think. This is going to be their last season and they want a change, but how much of a change is it going to be?

LOL, Nathan is definitely not taking any risks this time.

I suspected because it's his nature, but it is still kind of sad to realize he derived no fun from competitions (at least last season), especially when he couldn't produce the results he so wanted to give.

But can someone explain to me why I can't watch twitter videos on Chrome anymore? I started using it because Firefox gave me a 'Media cannot be played' message on each twitter video, but suddenly Chrome is giving me the same message and I didn't change anything, I don't think.
