I am kinda lazy now, it's time for my skincare routine lol. But this is Yuzuru when his Flip was still meh, this was at JWC 2010, he got flat ! call for it): http://imgur.com/6CdF0gd You see his outside edge? And even if you do not look at his edge, you see his left leg was not straightened, this was when he's 15. And look at the close-up here in 2017: http://imgur.com/7FfH7cK Gif: https://media.giphy.com/media/LNHRbLTxb6sF2/giphy.gif You see at the take-off, his left leg was straightened a bit right at the take-off. That's the improvement. That straight leg even just for a half second means it's a Flip. Yuzuru does not have to be scared of his Flip edge now. One more thing, Yuzuru has NO pre-rotation in the Flip and Lutz, that's why it's possible for him to correct the edge in the Flip. Blade of Passion often complains that Yuzuru makes his Lutz too hard because he has ZERO pre-rotation. But actually, it's this Zero pre-rotation helps him to get ok Flip now. He pulls himself up too quick before the Flip slight inside edge can rock to the outside. WOW. That is zero prerotation indeed. I know people say "everyone prerotates" but that is literally zero.

Haha yes It's me :pbow: I didn't really like my username on the FF and this was a good opportunity to change it :space: I loved your old username so much, and I confess: I always thought about you when I saw 'Narcisa Cup' lol :space: hehe thank you ^^ it's actually from harry potter *embarrassed* I just thought it wasn't related to Yuzu enough ^^ and i use it a lot so it's kind of recognizable when someone googles it (but not as much as others)

OMG THIS IS AMAZING!! WOW! YUNA LOOKS SO GOOOOD also thanks *blush* my writing is mostly for myself so im self conscious when people read it but im glad you liked it ^^

With 4 quads or 5 quads?

you can also use the center bbcode to center your title: Competition Results: [table][tr][td]Competition[/td][td]SP[/td][td]FS[/td][td]Total[/td][/tr][/table]

Apparently if you learn one of (4Lz, 4F) you get two. How convenient! :whiteflag:

His PCS difference is like less than the difference between a 4Lz and 3Lz, why should he work on transitions?

Even with the wrong edge call, a 4Lz would be 9.5 points, which is significantly higher than 3Lz especially with a wrong edge call, and you know he won't be called on it half the time

Sure, great idea! Feel free to start the thread :)

Isn't it always the coach?

He is doing different choreo for that though right? Will there be a different music cut and costume? I am quite looking forward to his short as well. I think violin pieces suit him really well... even though a lot of people said that his short this year felt a bit "generic" in comparison to his free, I quite liked it... Maybe he wants to copy yuzu and do R+J1.0 and R+J2.0. after all, it won him the Olympics :coffee:

Just a fun poll! :D

Which one? There's Worlds and there's everything else :love:

he looks so happy!! :pbow: which makes me happy i wish i can see him again with his flag and beautiful smile in pyeongchang :thumbup:

More glasses Yuzu here: [image]http://i.imgur.com/mBRAs5u.jpg[/image] [image]http://i.imgur.com/6giIkwW.jpg[/image] [image]http://i.imgur.com/4qxXYTE.jpg[/image] From https://www.myrepi.com/members/member-a ... -days-1607 (P&G promotional photos) There are a bunch more pages like this, they put up some photos/interviews and occasionally videos every month or so, they're at volume 22 now. I think you need to sign up to see them directly, but I don't remember being more glasses Yuzu there. he looks like a wax statue here lmaooo

I wonder if Patrick feels like he could've been as popular as Yuzu if he had won in Sochi. eta: Actually I think he blames it on Japan

Her music this year was soooooooooooooooo bland :/ and that tango was just a cheap version of last year's (which I liked).

- sappy post - I first saw him at Sochi. It's actually a complicated story...so after Sochi (and Yuna r****d) I mentally made a note that Yuzu was special, and I was so happy he won, even though I knew nothing about men's skating. He just had this...charm that was unmistakable, that you can't teach or fake, it just emanated from him like a natural aura. I watched Patrick and for all his amazing skating skills he didn't have any of that charm and bored me. I remember being rather angry when people criticized the messiness men's event, saying it was controversial. I remember thinking that Yuzu was born to be the OGM, it wasn't controversial to me at all! And plus, with all of Patrick's pops/stepouts/hand downs, I felt like Yuzu's program (even with the two falls at the very beginning) was much harder and cleaner. I also looooveeeeeeeed his ending pose, it was just the epitome of cool I also remember watching Yuzu's flip and 3A and thinking "holy crap you can enter a jump like that?!?!?1" Women's skating looked so lame in comparison.... BUT around that time I was obsessed with rewatching Yuna videos rather than following live skating, if that makes sense. And because of my Yuna obsession, I watched a lot of women's skating, to see if I could find another Yuna (I couldn't). I didn't connect with any lady skater at the time. I watched Gracie and tried to like her. I admired her for admiring Yuna and I liked her jumps. She also had really great dresses. I watched So Youn Park and liked her a lot, but she was never consistent. But I never watched men's skating. I really wanted to find another skater I could love while they were still skating live so I could support them in real time. Someone whom I could unequivocally support rather than feeling a little bit of schadenfreude when they fell/messed up, which I couldn't help but feel with skaters like Gracie and Yulia because they were just so hyped over the moon that I was a bit annoyed. Around this time at the back of my mind I thought "Well there's Yuzuru Hanyu..." but for some reason I had a prejudice that figure skating was a ladies' thing and even though I wanted to watch him, I didn't want to sit through hours of men's skating just to watch one person... I remember watching Boston gala (my first "live" figure skating event), with no idea what happened except that he placed second, and recording/taking photos of only his skate. I still have it on my instagram. I guess all this time I knew he was "special" but I didn't really...register it? And then this season happened and I figured I would watch him at NHK and I did and the rest is history. I also wrote about it here. Warning: it's very...sappy. BTW I was working on a sewing project when I watched him at NHK that I never finished because my life completely changed after that, lol. It's still in my drawer somewhere. i think i'll go and finish it because in a way it's special. So I voted for around Sochi because that's when he became my favorite skater but for some reason I didn't follow him until this season if that makes sense? Gahh I don't know why, I feel so dumb :hammer:

Haha yes It's me :pbow: I didn't really like my username on the FF and this was a good opportunity to change it :space:

Mine too. I mean one of my favourites because I just can't choose one. :love: me too! here's a list of my favs

he looks so photogenic even when falling makes me :wtf: at some of the bad photos some media outlets happen to find and publish...

My favorite program of hers

There are so many young Korean ladies in the junior ranks or younger who have shown lots of potential, and of course Cha Jun Hwan who is now training with Orser! I figured we needed a Team Korea thread! In addition, I would love to see more of Queen Yuna as the Olympics approaches. Discuss! :goe:

That particular forum is now closed to the public for now :P
