    This is what I have so far. Edited to replace Puccini for Danse Macabre.

    Does anyone have a link to that google sheet with this season's programs?
  3. xeyra
    Oh, two more: Samson and Delilah and The Nutcracker! Hmmm. What to replace. I think I'll take the suggestions from this post as well. Maybe I should replace the Flamenco for Sing Sing Sing?

    I'm adding La La Land on my visual Bingo card in the 'Free Space'. I've taken out Aranjuez for Puccini. I'm one square short if I don't add Sing Sing Sing, though. I was thinking something more used through the ages. I don't think Vivaldi quite counts. Neither does Chopin. Which of Miss Saigon or Madama Butterfly should I add if nothing better comes up?
  5. xeyra
    Concierto de Aranjuez should apply too, yes? Okay, I filled it in. Let me know if there's something I should replace with something even more warhorse-y. And now to play the Bingo with this season's programs!
  6. xeyra
    I've added them all except Sing Sing Sing: is that considered a warhorse? Never thought it would be! Any of the classical composers/operas I should add as well?

    I need help completing this Warhorse Bingo. Please give me suggestions for it from the current programs as well as other famous warhorses not yet chosen that might be announced soon!

    I don't think he means anyone in particular? Or at least, not of the current men competing, since this interview was in 2014 or 2015, yeah?

    I'm always so weary of making predictions because I don't want to jinx anyone (yes, I am somewhat superstitious in these cases). But there's no doubt there's only one gold contender at this point for ladies, and gold and silver in dance is basically a coin toss between V/M and P/C. As for teams, that's equally hard to predict in some cases. For example, there's really no doubt Yuzu and Shoma will be on the Japanese men's team but I have absolutely no idea who'll end up in the ladies. I do think it's unlikely Kaori will be able to fight for a spot in amongst the other ladies but other than that, I have no idea. Russian ladies is a bit like Japanese men: you know which two will be on it, but the third is a lot less clear. It's equally hard to predict USA men team, aside from Nathan. Vincent is a good possibility, with his many incoming quads, but who amongst the rest, between Jason, Adam, Joshua(?), Max will make it?

    I'm really digging this!

    To be honest, the same could be applied to Yuzu and his 4S combo...

    So today Kanako confessed on a TV show that she's had a crush on Artur Gachinski since Juniors. She said this without knowing Gachinski was actually listening in! Translation and video of the TV show on the link below, featuring embarrassing questions about Kana's love life: https://cantilovertranslations.tumblr.com/post/163181640018/kanako-on-konya-kurabete-mimashita-0719-k

    Yeah, I soon realized the reason for using a 4T3T3Lo (the factoring at 1 instead of 0.7) would also mean that failure would weigh heavier, and thus any combo with -3Lo should only be used if you can be sure you can rotate that -3Lo. Whatever Javi chooses to do for next season, though, one thing is for certain: he needs to ditch any and all combos on his 3F. Doing the GOE/jump statistics for men made me realize how he failed to get any positive GOE on his 3F-1Lo-3S combo all season, either because of unclear edge calls (more frequent) or pops!
  16. xeyra
    I don't drink. How will I get through this!?
  17. xeyra
    That makes a lot of sense, especially with his feelings on the reliability of 4T. So 4T3T and 4S might just be what he'll go for.
  18. xeyra
    I did the BV calculations on those options too a while ago but I've been avoiding thinking of layouts with 4Lz AND 4Lo3T for my peace of mind. Edit: I'd be a bit sad at the idea of him dropping 4S3T entirely after spending so much time finally wrestling it into submission.
  19. xeyra
    It's exactly the same as one with 4S3T and 4T, as posted in the tables previously.
  20. xeyra
    He could... which jump has the combo wouldn't make a difference if his layout has four different quads. But it might lower his BV if he doesn't add the 4Lz, depending on how he'd work his combos in. For example: 4Lo 4S 3F // 4T3T 4T 4S2T 3A1Lo3S 3Lz is the exact same as 4Lo 4S 3F // 4S3T 4T 4T2T 3A1Lo3S 3Lz but 4Lo 4S 3F // 4T3T 4T 3A2T 3A1Lo3S 3Lz is lower BV than 4Lo 4S 3F // 4S3T 4T 3A2T 3A1Lo3S 3Lz Don't know how his GOE would go if he downgraded from a 4S3T to a 4S2T, though.
  21. xeyra
    Surprisingly, this doesn't actually gain him much compared to a 'easier' 4Lz 4Lo 3F // 4S3T 4T 3A3T 3A1Lo3S 3Lz layout: 109.83 vs 109.98. It's not so great an increase to spend time on getting the combo on the 4Lo.
  22. xeyra
    I know. That 3Lz-3T-3Lo combo makes absolutely no sense because he'd be stealing a 3T from a quad or 3A combo to add it to a jump that'd only get factored by 0.7. Not to mention the high possibility of failing to rotate a 3Lo at the end of a combo..... Doing a 4T-3T-3Lo would make a lot more sense, even if hard to execute.
  23. xeyra
    Was there different weighing to the final score for each part of the competitions? Wasn't compulsory figures worth a lot of the final score back then? It seems to me that if the free skate was so completely free, it wouldn't have been allowed to weigh as much on the final scoring due to the nature of how different the elements could be from skater to skater.
  24. xeyra
    But he wrestled the combo of doom into submission (in the FS) by the end! It was no longer a COD, let's not forget this accomplishment. 4Lo3T is probably more likely if he doesn't add the 4Lz, I think. For the BV upgrade.
  25. xeyra
    BTW, Gabrielle Daleman's words in ISF magazine about Yuzu makes me really think that he is going all out on stuff at TCC, so who knows what he'll be bringing in.
