Too bad: he was tense and too worried right from the start!

Gummenik really has grown up!

I hope in some nice skates ...

I am here!

Frankly, the most convincing skates were those of You and Kaori... pity for some points lost in the SP.

In general PCS scores are becoming really unbereable to look at (for some time now, but as we say in Italian 'non c'è mai fine al peggio'! i.e. It never rains, it pours).

And Eteri looked a bit worried...?!

I could only see what was made available on youtube in the meantime.

With regard to the men's SP I must say that in this context, which was quite disastrous for many, "Vincent"'s Vincent was certainly the best, even if from the fancam the quality of all the jumps could not be assessed well.

Shoma wasn't bad either, although the choice of baroque music again and the repetition of some of the usual choreographic movements makes it all seem very similar to his programme on the music of Vivaldi.

Instead Nathan would do better to take his Nemesis 1.0 and revise the choreography of that. This new mix does not seem very convincing to me, at least for now. For the rest, business as usual for him, made worse by the fact that in this contest he did not succeed in the most important technical elements (and I should look again, but maybe the combo should have been invalidated...?).

Very sorry to hear of Shun and Kevin, who should seriously evaluate with their staff and coaches if it is worth to continue this competition.

Hopefully everyone can do better - and without further injury - in the next segment of the competition.

ETA: sorry! Post was in the wrong thread.

I posted it now in the right one (Men SP and FS).

I post this beautifull video here for the completeness of the thread (and what a journey...!):

Spesso leggono le thread più importanti soprattutto quando ci sono delle news che magari ancora non sono state girate sui gruppi facebook. 

Metto sotto spoiler perché un altro dei motivi per cui non frequentano questo forum, secondo il mio modestissimo parere, è che hanno una strana sindrome di superiorità e distacco che si palesa non solo in rapporto a questo forum ma a tutte le persone a cui rivolgono la parola sui gruppi facebook. Non le conosco di persona ma a pelle non le sopporto. 

 

Capito. Speriamo di trovarci tutte al GPF a tifare per Yuzu: incrocio dita di mani e piedi per lui, sia per la sua salute (dopo la Rostlecom dello scorso anno, più che in precedenza, sono sempre un poco in ansia...), sia perchè faccia delle gare delle quali alle fine possa essere felice e soddisfatto (e senza punteggi che lo penalizzino troppo...).

Sì, capisco bene il problema: quando ho provato a fare la traduzione in italiano del libero di Yuzu al Campionato Mondiale di Helsinki 2017 annotato, per alcuni termini tecnici riferiti a vari elementi e transizioni se non mi avessero aiutato Lys/Ilaria e Carolina sarei stata persa (ancora grazie a loro, anche se penso che non leggano neppure più questo forum o altre aree del sito).

Anche io dovrei venire al GPF salvo problemi familiari. Anche perché, appunto, visto come stanno andando le cose per i punteggi delle gare, mi sa che più si andrà avanti, peggio sarà. Spero tanto di sbagliarmi...e di vedere Yuzu invece in ottima forma!

Buona settimana a tutte

Ciao a tutti.. sono Rachele e seguo yuzuru dal 2016

Ciao Rachele, benvenuta ! Questo thread in italiano non viene usato molto anche se ci sono diverse/i utente/i italiani attivi in PlanetHanyu, e anche molto più attive di me (toctoc @Murieleirum e @LadyLou ).

Io seguo Yuzuru dal 2013/2014 ed è grazie a lui che ho apprezzato anche il pattinaggio di figura maschile (prima seguivo saltuariamente solo il femminile e le coppie). Verrai al GPF a Torino o andrai a vederlo dal vivo da qualche altra parte?

Ohhhhh, I know who this is, then. I thought you were going to quote an official. Also funny given whom that person stans

Yes, I know 😒.

The problem was that she/he told that but a lot (too many for my taste) of the others after practically said that's was right. If considered in itself, it is not so relevant or not so much as what other representative of skaters, coaches or officials have said in these last weeks/days. But taken in the whole context, this also gives me the feeling that everything is not objective and measurable / quantifiable in figure skating. There is no point in competing and scoring following rules - or guidelines  🙄 - ...and for a lot of fans, skaters and officials everything is really fine in this way.

Who was this?

 A harcore fan on another platform (but you can find the quote somewhere in twitter also), with other people essentially agreeing with it.

Frankly...in the last weeks I read things that let me think I have chosen a wrong sport to follow and to like.

Sentences like “Underrotations are in the eye of the beholder" from a source, or "GOE's most certainly are subjective. As well as transitions and skating skills. The effectivity of both can truly only be felt, not quantified" from you-know-who-now and again from another source ""Proper" PCS scoring (a primarily subjective thing anyways) is never going to happen" are really depressing and disheartening. They are from hardcore fans, specialised journalists ex elite skaters.

And I don't want to take in consideration what actually is the situation about selective edges and URs calls...

So, I understand this: if you barely rotate something and stay on your feet in the landings, while looking confident and smiling (or winking !) to the judges at the right moment and if you choose a music with no sense and no story to you/you can actually feel, but that can seem generally 'cool' to the majoirity of 'western' judges, you can be all right...no you can be a champion. What is this...? This is a bad travesty of the 6.0 era (at least at the time they were lesser hypocritical!).

Frankly, as a former ballerina: no one points his/her toes in figure skating because of the boots. Someone stretches a little better the ankle and the instep so that the foot doesn't look like an hammerhead, that's all. And Yuzu is doing this very well in his spins for example. So ...

Just found this MAD: to wish you all happy and 'yuzurish' (Christmas) holidays!

(羽生結弦×ONEOKROCK　Wherever you are～2018 winter～ , by ゆづマミ)

Sorry, but the fact that he didn't return to Canada to be checked and to heal there (on the contrary after NHK last year, if I am not wrong) and he went to Japan, to me meant he is probably considering really to compete at Nats and that was very improbable he could compete at GPF instead.

And this for two motives: 1) the time before GPF is really short and if the doctors confirms three weeks of complete rest (very likely), it's almost impossible also for the instoppable Yuzuru Hanyu try to take part (and more if he want to do things in a beautiful-almost-perfect-way as he usually does); 2) if he doesnt'make for GPF, maybe this creates less trouble (and less hatred by fans of other skaters...) than not partecipate also this year at Nats.

I hope just he can recover well so that he can skate without pain, but beautifully, like only he is capable of.

I think he will WD GPF, but for a lot of reasons - personal and not - it's difficult to think calmly and to say it now. Don't know about Nats: it depends on diagnosis after a proper (not just palpation) check in Toronto.

I hope he can rest and take time to return at his best for 4CC and  Worlds.
