    The Road to the Gold Medal NHK feature (originally broadcast on 26 Feb) has been subbed. I'm not sure if it has been posted here yet:

    The only times I've been stung were by wasps, never bees.

    This is the most Yuzuru thing I've read today. Also, his bee love. He's so wholesome, it's so cuuute.

    Just a note that this calendar has the Russian and French GPs switched. Russian GP is after NHK (16-18 Nov), and French GP is the last one (23-25 Nov).

    @cinemacoconut, I understand you're frustrated but you have to stop inviting people to go read hate on Yuzu. Just let it rest. Some Koreans don't like Yuzu, we know, we don't really need that negativity here and you keep bringing it up. Please... try not to.

    White LGC would look great under Exhibition show lights. Just saying. *cough cough*

    Please intensely smirk into my soul, Mr. Hanyu.

    ISU has updated their website calendar after people tweeted at them for clarification. IdF is the last GP. Rostelecom is after NHK. The communication was correct.

    I don't think the US judge needed Pooh to hit them to have a reason to underscore Yuzu.

    Also, his thoughts about figure skating, technique and constructing a program where the jumps are part of the transitions. I'd hear him speak about this all day if I understood Japanese.

    The final TES score in that re-scoring was calculated with the proper factoring, even if they presented each element with their full GOE, because that's what the judges do, give a GOE from -3 to +3.

    They have different levels of support, I believe, and the level a skater has depends on their rankings, results, etc.. Wakaba and Marin, for example, will be in the top group, and I think those get the most support.

    JSF supports their skaters, I believe, and didn't they pay for Yuzuru to go to TCC before he got the ANA sponsorship (and probably contribute to it still)?

    Or maybe she'll work on it now and test it out in the show. It's really early too. Hope it's as good as Wakabond.

    Alina and Boyang completely ruined my predictions I don't even remember what my choices for pairs or dance were.
  16. xeyra
    No one knows outside of the unconfirmed Wakaba rumors.

    Maybe this should be taken to the General Skating Chat for further talk, but this is an interesting point because judges had no issues with NOT establishing a level playing field in the ladies (where Evgenia was winning with very big margins) until very recently (with Zagitova's push in PCS). So it's interesting the contrast with the men, which I think is due to the men being far less consistent and the big pushes in BV, so leveling the playing field is easier. Then there's the fact Yuzu wasn't able to capitalize on his NHK/GPF 2015 runaway wins when he lost in Boston and started slowly in the 2016-2017 season (partly due to injury, partly due to the harder technical content in men that doesn't allow for much consistency). However, the PCS increase in men also is slower than in the ladies, because men are a mess most of the time.

    I don't read too much into Yuzuru's statement. It was likely based on the protocols/scores he must have seen by then. Shoma wouldn't have won if he'd landed the 4Lo because even those lost points and a couple more in PCS wouldn't breach the difference Yuzuru had from the SP. The GOEs in Shoma's FS just weren't enough. At the same time, Shoma was of course right to think if he skated like his PBs, he'd win, because he'd make up the SP difference, but even outside of his 4Lo fall, he had very dodgy landings on other jumps anyway so that meant if everything remained equal, but with a landed 4Lo, it wouldn't have been enough to match his PB. Of course, this was probably all in hindsight for Yuzu.

    This is a good breakdown, except I think I'd go one less, as in: 2 OGM > 1 OGM + 2 world golds (plus some silvers) 2 OGM < 1 OGM + 3+ world golds This because once you start getting more than 2 world medals, it actually starts going into dominance of a field territory and I find that maybe even better than 2 OGMs and no world medals.
  20. xeyra
    Yeah, I agree, but since he was so vague in his answer, I was just joking a little at the reactions to his vagueness here.
  21. xeyra
    You know, you're all 'I knew I liked Mikhail for a reason' but what if he meant Nathan!? Badum tush.
  22. xeyra
    Wait, was it at the press conference or small medal ceremony itself or just an interview with Mikhail later?
  23. xeyra
    TCC's shading of the highest subtlety.
  24. xeyra
    Plus, everyone knows it's best to catch Yuzuru at the beginning of the season if you wanna start big.
  25. xeyra
    In before Stephen lands a 4A in competition before Yuzuru. Blood will be had.
