@gladi's version of the translation of the earlier interview about LGC as the SP for Olympics with further details on the choice for Chopin, which ended up replacing the initial idea of LGC: https://wherespacepooh.tumblr.com/post/164825368894/yuzuru-hanyu-interview-from-media-day-kateigaho

Etude instead of Ienai Yo, please.

Which one will it be today... coin toss!

If not for Shirota-san, we could have had Yuzu's rough masculinity at the Olympics, guys! J/K, bring it as an EX to Olys and play all you want there.

Is that the article where Shirota-san says she suggested Chopin 3.0 instead of LGC 2.0? Anyways, wanting to bring it back as an EX doesn't necessarily mean it's the only EX for this cycle. LGC as the EX at Olys would be quite something, though, not going to lie.

So I'm seeing on twitter Yuzu might be recycling LGC as an EX too for Oly season? What's the source on this? And why oh why, Zuzu...... sure, all programs show different sides of you but this is like the ultimate recycling. Though if you skate a clean LGC as an EX at Olys with quads and everything, it'll be the ultimate trolling of the universe for you.

Detail on blue!Turandot's back!

It's so endearingly ridiculous, though. And the little drum. D'awww.

They look great! And these hats are nothing compared to some of the wonders Patrick and the rest of Team Canada have worn. Case in point.

I wasn't sold on the back of Shoma's costume at first but I'm loving it now. I think it looks amazing in motion. The gold details and the sleeves in particular look lovely. Shizuka's red dress during the Turandot portion is GORGEOUS!

Although I love the idea of black and red Seimei, I think I'd also really love a version similar to this.

Apparently she's thinking about putting a 3Lz-3Lo combo in the second half of her FS.

Would a paprika plushie thrown to the ice be seen as a betrayal?

There, the mystery is solved. There's the source, I take it.

Mai’s segment on ‘ten.’ (08/30) translation! https://cantilovertranslations.tumblr.com/post/164794643993/mais-segment-on-ten-0830-0257-i1

Either that or use Finlandia to debut it, after checking his condition and cleanliness rate for a 5-quad program at ACI without the 4Lz. But this is a rumour I've seen nothing about and JSF didn't release his name for Finlandia when they announced the Challenger participations, so if it proves to be true, then it was a more recent development. We'll know either way after September 1st.

I don't believe Shoma's method would work for Yuzu, yeah, but I don't actually think Yuzu's goal is to postpone his peak. He's spoken before how he wants to develop and raise an average peak so he can be ready for GPF, Nationals, Olympics, Worlds and other competitions without having to train only to peak at a particular moment.

He has NHK for that. And PChan is going Nebelhorn, I think?

It's the 'Shoma Uno' method! A competition every 2-weeks to keep the competition rhythm on. It worked very well for Shoma! More chances to try 4Lz in competition? Edit: I don't actually believe he'll do a second Challenger event, though, but we'll see soon enough. Who even began this rumour?

You can enter as many as you want as long as your schedule allows and your federation submits you for, as far as I know.

I kind of want him to do one in an EX so we can all enjoy a comedic program from him! Sorry, Yuzu! But I'm open to eating my words if you ever deliver a cracking Tango, though. Unconfirmed rumour that people shouldn't get expectations up for yet. We'll know Finlandia Trophy entries after September 1st. His name wasn't in the list for Finlandia Trophy that the JSF released for Challenger series participations.
