Aww sorry about that though. Hope you can find a way to watch them!

If you try to play this, does it work? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ShPcJF3OOsxrjBKuQKL4Dvps6i9lQk6f/view

Hmm, I think Yuzu is very internally motivated for the most part -- but he obviously does have many influences so I think it's fine to speculate a bit,, but we won't know the truth unless he comes right out and says "so and so inspired me to do XYZ" (which he seems to be very open about and has talked about many times) so I think we should probably keep the extra speculation on top of that to a minimum IMO. Motivation to win though is one thing I DON'T see Yuzu needing to be "influenced" by anyone though, more likely than not Evgenia is influenced by him rather than the other way around

Thanks, yeah I tried that one. Seems it doesn't offer commentary for anything...if you want that, you have to pay for cable, LOL

i got no words either

But that still doesn't make any sense since it doesn't say the final score is -5, just the final GOE is -5, and GOEs get scaled by the base value of the elements, which will be zero...

I didn't watch the video yet, but coaches teaching skaters how to "cheat" jumps (although they don't call it that) is very common. Variants of "The trend used to be to not prerotate your jumps but now prerotating is in fashion" or "The system prefers jumps with prerotation now" is frankly a very common thing I've heard coaches say. Coaches and skaters adapt to the times; that's how they survive in a sport that's ruthless, opaque, and highly biased. They see what's winning and they copy it. For example, I see little skaters jump with rippons and tanos more often than not and actually it can be easier for them because it keeps their core engaged.

Not so contrary it seems

Purely for fun and to see if Planet Hanyu members have psychic powers

Do they usually make these changes mid-quad? I thought they usually only change things at the beginning of each quad for fairness.

Raf? he said something like how what yuzu has can't be taught, it came from God. And Yagudin said that he WAS God LOL

Given the evidence of the last few seasons, I'm gonna say: probably pretty well.

That's quite soon. I'll have ticket windows open

It's Yuzu.

i want those sneakers

You can, here

Not sure, the software we purchased for this forum makes those decisions Just made one!

Thread to discuss Team France skaters!

Belated thank yous

It IS a warhorse now. Everyone and their mothers are skating to it

Well, I think he's doing them in private anyway, and in shows he's usually rather relaxed. like remember how after saying he was withdrawing from WTT (thank god btw), he went back to toronto immediately and was spotted on the ice in the bg of someone's pic? yeah ... LOL
