Finlandia Trophy entries ICE DANCE Sara HURTADO / Kirill KHALIAVIN Celia ROBLEDO / Luis FENERO

Boyang is going to Finlandia Trophy!! So will Cheng PENG / Yang JIN and Ziquan ZHAO. http://www.isuresults.com/events/fsevent03111455.htm

Some stats for the Japanese ladies:

That part about the hydroblade was my favorite, especially when you said he ended up having other skaters join in and teaching them how to do it and was having fun.

I don't know. It's so uncertain. Depends on what others do and if he adds the 4Lo. Clean Yuzu and Shoma will beat him for sure. A clean Nathan will win in TES even with 10 points difference in PCS. I don't even know if a clean Patrick might not dislodge him slightly, depending on how many or few European judges are in the panel. Boyang, it would depend on his GOEs but even his best 4-quad FS was 14ish points away from Javi's best (but Boyang will add the 4Lo and do at least 5 quads). But if others falter, he can sweep in for a medal. A 3-quad FS with 4Lo, though, might be more helpful for his BV and his chances since he could have two -3T combos and two 3As. But then he'd need to land that 4Lo with positive GOE. So.... Javi.... add the 4Lo at ACI and get mileage on it!

The title of the video. There's landing and then there's 'landing'. My knee hurt watching that, but everything else was A+.

Better quality videos from youtube from Vincent Zhou's programs skated at Golden Moment: SP: FS:

I'm just laughing at Brian's attitude nowadays. He's just about it all. Sure, Yuzu has been practicing all sorts of jumps in the off season, including a 4A. No biggie.

At least the two programs he'll do for Olympic season should be Boobskirt-free since it wouldn't quite fit the theme. All rejoice!

Man, you know it's an Olympic season when the sponsorships and advertisement deals start appearing by the bucketful. Get that money, Javi! Plus, damn, that Reebok sweater looks really good on him.

Actually I think apparently Brian said Yuzu wasn't necessarily thinking of putting the 4Lz in at the time. Then again, there was that comment a few weeks later about what Yuzu said to Tsuzuki-sensei re 4Lz. So...

It's legit. yude at GS did a similar translation of Orser's interview. I'm sure @gladi is on it.

Mai and Kaori will be in Kenji's Room tomorrow, on J Sports.

I agree. I also kind of love the music, Moulin Rouge warhorse or not. And this slower tempo should help with the stamina needed for all the quads he may be planning on.

Dance class with Team Eteri. Not sure when this is from but the video seems to have been posted yesterday.

Can the universe just stop with crapping on Satoko already?

And a snippet of Vincent's new FS. Is that a cantilever into a rippon 3Lz near the end of his program?

I am so curious about Zhenya's FS. The music choices are gorgeous and I want to see how they cut them together.

Kana is gorgeous and these clothes are amazing. Love especially the dress in the second picture (I want it!). These are from a recent fan meeting:

Plus he 'owes' us a post-Olympics season with new programs.

He'll stay even if he wins, no worries. He'll just have to find new motivations (4A).

Helps that Yuzu is as inconsistent as most other guys, though. You never know if you're gonna find the Warrior God Yuzu or the SC one. Now if you look at the ladies discipline.... I find this sentiment would be more fitting if one were competing against Zhenya when she wins ALL THE TIME!

Now I need context on this. What does Daisuke say in this video about Yuzu?
