We're looking into it, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Hi, sorry I'm not sure what you mean. What is usually written underneath? I don't remember haha Was it the name of the post or something?

I don't believe 4A is allowed in the SP, only 3A or 2A. But yeah, getting buried in the SP is much worse, because it affects your starting order and thus your PCS for the free among other psychological reasons. They do say "You can't win the competition in the SP, but you can lose it."

hey seems like after the update there are some issues (as well as with bookmarks etc.), i'll look into them!

I agree, I think Med's 2A HAS improved but in practice, not in competition, yet. It's clear she gets nervous in competition so she reverts back to her old technique; maybe given time, the changes she made in practice will "stick." (Same with the 3S.) ETA: either way I'm really excited for all these layout upgrades next season regardless. It's a bit boring to see 3Lz-3T be the hardest element, and 7 triples, every time XD

I'm guessing: 1. It may be easier to add a rotation than to fix basic takeoff technique. I can see that a skater may actually find it easier to do a quad than to go back to jumping basics after a lifetime of muscle memory. 2. In the end, there are ladies doing quads and getting full credit for them with equally not-ideal technique. Unfortunately not every skater has the legacy, the financial backing, and the fanbase to focus on things that don't get awarded by the judges if funding/sponsorship/spots/opportunities are once in a lifetime and gone in a flash if they do not win medals. Not to mention, the health to do so. Yuzu is a one in a million here, IMO. 3. If Medvedeva learns a quad even with PR and UR I think it will help with her issues on her triple. Just like I'm sure she can jump a double toe with not much PR by itself, if she can get a consistent 4T then it would probably improve lift/rotation with her 3T. 4. The jumps you posted are all combinations. Her 3S is a little bit better than that on its own, but she needs to keep it low to control the landing for her 3Lo. So yeah, I think she can get more height than that. 5. Medvedeva is basically forced to add quads if she's skating for Russia. Quads or perish, basically.

yes, they're overlapping dots!

It's a pretty dark dot, so I'd say it's more than one satellite

Updated PH demographics (not the most accurate locations, since they're taken from signup IPs which only roughly maps to locations AND people use VPNs but this just gives a general sense of things!)

Wow that's subtle, I love it.

I got one of this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Z73V3S/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I might buy another

Hello all, Sorry for the downtime last night! Apparently it might have been because our database is getting pretty big (it's now >65% of our available disk space) so when I tried to query from it it crashed the DB. We need to do some forum upgrades so we might have some few minutes of downtime in the next few days, depending on the upgrades we need to do -- but I'll post something if we do as long as it's something expected. None of those upgrades will be to get more disk space/faster server though, it'll be more micro-optimizations, because moving the site to another server would be too time-consuming for now. Also, we paid for 2 years of hosting with our current plan, and that expires in June 2020, so I'm not sure if there's a way to move before then. We'll revisit all of this and do some more research during the off season probably! Thank you for your support!~ yuzuangel

thank you for your supports, it's been a stressful morning

Yup, bad translation.

yes... bad joke lol

Hi everyone, I need to do a forum upgrade. hope that's ok will be done for a few minutes eta: we're back

Yeah let's be respectful to Nathan and not call him names or anything. We will edit anything not calling skaters by their real names or neutral nicknames. Also, personally I'd prefer if we kept quoting the Yuzu antis to a minimum. It's obviously different if we post about scoring discourse tagging ISU on twitter. But I think there are many people here who prefer to not see or read antis, and responding to the antis on PH is not super productive either. Thanks

same, this must be the first time i feel i need some eye bleach lol
