    Music talk

    xeyra replied to OmNom's topic in Yuzuru Hanyu

    I was trying to check if there would be any Tokyo Ghoul music he could use that might fit a FS program and came across this one. I'm not sure how dynamic it really is for a program, but I quite like it! Or an instrumental of the main theme, if an official version exists. An example:

    While I sympathize with the feeling that it felt like a year since we last saw him before the Olympics, it was only 4 months, Zhao Jing. Thank you so much for translating this!

    A fascinating look at Yuzu's Olympic Seimei and K&C from rink-side level through a VR headset.

    I find this protocol fascinating. This is Sofia Akatyeva, currently 10 years old, from the recent Russian Younger Age championships. Check out her GOE for all of her jump passes (except the 3Lz3T combo, which got lower).

    I think the deciding factor of whether he does it or not is if he feels like he needs a competition before Worlds that doesn't interfere too much time wise with his training. Since 4CC is in the USA, it can be an option. And who knows if he'll want to complete his gold medal collection with that too. His motivations for next season can go beyond the 4A, hopefully. 4CC is in California, which is not that close to Toronto (basically 5h flights without stops), but it's closer than to most European countries and definitely closer than Asia.

    I've accepted RJ 2.0 and other less popular sartorial choices in Yuzuru's career... but I have to draw a line somewhere.

    Found it! Not sure if this was the original source since I saw other similar articles when I searched, but it's here: Hanyu’s path to second Olympic gold was paved with patience https://borneobulletin.com.bn/hanyus-path-to-second-olympic-gold-was-paved-with-patience/

    Yes, you're right, with the current system they get factored... But as we can see from your examples, the new system wouldn't work if it kept that factoring, so it'll have to invariably change... for triple jumps too! It's too soon to know, anyway. By June we'll know.

    I honestly don't remember which article but I'll try to find his interviews during this time and let you know.

    @Xen how did you do the math on the spins and sequences? Because perfect GOE on a 3.5 BV spin would be 1.75, if at 10% per GOE increment?
  11. xeyra
    BTW they'll test the new system in a summer competition. I forget which one but it's in the USA.

    Basically, Nathan would still win any BV game since he has access to all of those.

    An axel is a required FS element, though, so any layout has to include at least a single, 7 jumps or not. I don't think they'll change that rule at all. Or how many jumps you can repeat.

    I find it interesting how Brian spoke about the very strategic decision of that 'singles, 3A, bow' first practice and how it was done with certain intention to not let on what Yuzu's shape really was and how you don't need to win every practice for it to be effective.

    Is that the LGC costume? Yes, please.

    I guess the posted tweet doesn't mention Japanese specifically (I just know it's from them from my Twitter TL) but it still starts off talking about anti lies, which is why I feel like it starts off from a defensive position against a really stupid claim that shouldn't be given the time of day because it's so stupid instead of a more informative and positive learning for new fans. Anyways, it's not the first time I've been confronted with unecessary knowledge about foreign anti antics that I honestly don't care about... unless it interferes with charity auctions or someone's safety and then I get pissed and murderous.
  17. xeyra
    I understand and that's good. But in that case may I suggest to maybe don't preface it with 'Japanese antis said this' and just present it differently? I mean, I'm all for educating new fans but to connect it with some anti on JPN twitter starts it off a lot more negatively than just presenting it as an introduction to jump technique, you know? I don't know if I'm explaining myself well.

    No one else got any +3 on any jump this season except Yuzu (multiple 3As, the 4S and 4T) and Han Yan's 3A at the Olympics.
  19. xeyra
    To add to my above post: I kinda wish people would not bring idiotic JPN (or Korean or Russian or other) anti stuff into English FS fandom. Antis that threaten to disrupt Yuzuru's parade in Sendai? Yes, that's good, share it, let's report them because that's really problematic behavior! An anti talking about how Yuzuru doesn't have good 4S technique, though? It's too stupid to even bother. Let it stay in JPN twitter...
  20. xeyra
    I honestly don't get why people give the haters so much attention. They're just screaming their ignorance into the ether. Especially about technique. Fight them disparaging Yuzu's character all you want but to even give any attention to antis calling Yuzu technique (on his 4S of all things) faulty is so laughable I just can't take it seriously enough to be bothered. Apparently every ISU judge giving it +2 and +3 through the years doesn't know what a true salchow is but someone on the internet does. What even...
  21. xeyra
    The victory ceremony and all the footage of Yuzu animatedly explaining his gloves issue to Shirota-san made the pop concert worth it.
  22. xeyra
    Maybe he'll be more quiet if he is forced to talk in English!

    Add to it GPF 2014 Chopin and POTO (or WTT 2015 POTO) even if he wasn't completely clean there. And don't forget GPF 2016 LGC because how dare you forget our purple overlord?

    I've made myself a Sparkly Swan crying over Yazunori Hanro. We're an embarrassement of riches in here.

    You could make that your user title, though! No need to wait for username changes.
