How!? We're still mid CoC! At least I'm not streaming 3 competitions at the same time nowadays, like earlier.

News article about it: https://skatecanada.ca/2017/11/patrick-chan-withdraws-from-nhk-trophy/ He's focusing on his training for Nationals.

I hope this isn't actually demotivating to Yuzu, not having one of the top men to challenge him. I hope he is challenged just by, you know, being pissed off at Shoma winning SC gold before him, at Javi and Nathan winning over him and now at having another upstart hitting 100+ in his SP (Mikhail). Maybe that'll be enough motivation for him.

Nooooo.

Yuzu as a vampire lord who never quite got out of the 1970s phase.

I really hope he can, this season. And that it all culminates at the Olympics.

Okay, THAT takes the cake. Hopefully some other country's Team takes the fall for the worst dressed. We haven't seen everything yet!

This comparison of team wear just reminds me Team Japan will be the worst dressed team at the Olympics.

If he did it like ACI everytime, I'd assume that would be the reason (a reliable SP so he doesn't have the issues he had last season with LGC). But then COR happened and I just . So here's hoping NHK's SP is more like ACI's than COR's SP.

I don't even remember the context of the Schrodinger anymore. Edit: Nevermind, I scrolled up.

I agree, even though I love NS. I just really love the whole aesthetics of it. But variety is the spice of life! Please... Yuzu....

Not popping anything in the background. Already better than Gabby's video.

English subbed interview with Han Yan prior to COC:

Ranked 61 in what? Seems low, will complain.

Get well soon, Anna.

As an adition to the translation @gladi did of the Seimei costume Nikkan article, she and tadakixd have now also translated the annotations on the sketches. Check the tumblr post again for the additional info! https://wherespacepooh.tumblr.com/post/167008732759/the-birth-of-a-costume-hanyu-is-the-designer-i

I do think skaters also change boots more often as they are growing up since boot sizes would probably be changing quite often. So early years also account for a good number of those pairs of boots.

Not in everything... *flashback to frilly Lotte outfit*

Translation of what Yuzu says in this video: https://tadakixd.tumblr.com/post/167005776690/mother-thank-you-behind-the-scenes-part-1 This seems interesting:

I like the vest the lady with the hat is wearing on the left photo. Training pants are pretty standard so no negative opinion there. I like the outfit of the scarf lady too. Every other jacket, red or white, looks way too large or boring and I don't care for them. Edit: The worse, though, is this particular shade of red. What an eyesore.

If this won the design, I wonder how bad the other proposals were....

The World would have ended. Zombie Apocalypse. Locusts falling down from the sky. Rivers of blood. You know, the whole shebang. We dodged a bullet.

I usually have my hands over my eyes, peeking, when Yuzu jumps in competition. This is why practice videos are less stressful. I can actually enjoy the process.

Misha/Yuzuru ice dance/pair team (which even, I don't even know) is coming soon to a Olympics near you.
