That made me snort-laugh.

I'm cutting off half my hair and making one from my own hair. I chose a good time to stop cutting my hair short.

Yuzu. Y u kill me.

I agree, it's just the only reasoning I can find behind doing it. Tbh 3lo combos for men would only give an edge in the SP. Adam Rippon does it and it keeps him from falling too behind one-quad competitors.

To maximise BV if they can't repeat a 3A in combo? Instead of doing a 2T? A 3Lz-3Lo instead of a 3A-3T?

What, seriously?

That is sadly true, there's no guarantee that they won't in all seriousness say the kind of things we grumble about when we're disgruntled and annoyed. What a sad state of things.

Goodness I hope it's just a silly made-up joke and doesn't have an actual source that;s anybody in the industry! It's just because they said the whole PCS judging by individual components part is in the ethics or something so doesn't have to be in teh rules and they don't want to put it in the rules, we joked around that of course now sexy ballet arms will be all PCS. Don't take it seriously!

Oh true. That is true. All we need is a King Lear programme with sexy ballet arms, in black and white tights. That is the true pinnacle of the sport. And the art.

Really? If 'ballet arms' can be all PCS, black and white outfit that looks like a strange skeleton that stuck its head through a keyhole will become the heights of artistic interpretation of music through costume. Represents the unlocking of the human soul and the artist within, shedding skin and body and becoming pure spirit and one with the universe. Yep. That's it.

I don't understand why there was a rule that men couldn't wear tights at all. I mean... Let everybody wear whatever they want and if it doesn't suit the programme, let that come out of In or something.

If he gets well, he's going to have a 4A 4Lo 4S-3T 4T1Lo3S//4T 3A2T 3A layout in a year. And if he doesn't get the 4A this season, he'll upgrade somehow or the other, and I'd say we'll have a new CoD - a 4Lo combo. I very highly doubt he'd have the same tech as he did for H&L season.

Ideally, I'd want the steps there. But with how judging how it is, I think it's better to get the GOE for it when you do it instead of doing it and then being told 'yeah well it's requirement you get nothing extra', when people who don't do it don't get deductions, requirement or not.

I think because of how many pops and splats there are in men's. If they screw up one quad, they have others to score well with. But if the two-quad folks mess up a quad, they are left with jumping mostly triples, and stuck with a -5 GOE quad. I think more than courage, will Nathan have the time and energy to work on his edge jumps, with school and everything? With 4Lz and 4F, and 4T, he's good, he doesn't have to worry much at all. 4S is coming along though with stumbles. 4Lo? That'll need a lot more work.

I think that was @Mastyaeva I think it's still her ava. I kinda like this rule because it annoys me when guys don't work as much on their axels because quads make more sense. This will incentivise 3As. I selfishly like that as a huge axel stan.

I know, but Japan voted against and US voted for, right? I thought this rule was being pushed by the US and Japan was being inept, and yet.... Maybe we underestimated Japan strategy and they were playing a double con in the end. Because Kazuki has a great 3A too. The 3A is Shoma's best jump for me. Keiji, when the skies don't collapse on him, has a great 3A. All the Japanese top men and juniors have decent 3As. Their second repeated jump can be a high value one. This would mean that second 3A has to be in combination, too. More chances of splatting and wobbling from almost everybody.

Now we just need a petition for a Han Yan comeback and we will have the glorious 3A revolution!

Guys, do you realise that Yuzu's Olys FS total would've been higher with this rule and eight jumping passes? He would have nailed two 3A combos just fine so the deduction for the 4T rep wouldn't have applied. I don't think USFSA know what the hell they're doing either because this basically forces their guys to do two 3As if they want to repeat a jump worth much.

Not the fake proposal, no! That was just my illustration of taking Japan fed's strategy to its logical end. But Yuzu cutout celebration, yes, it did!

I don't think Max will be enough. Or even Shin Amano. It's time for the big guns. What's with giphy, I wanted the world needs Hercules and Xena gif in there.

How sadly apt.

I want coffee break cams. I picture them (all the bigger feds) walking around going 'A nice setup you've built. Must've been a lot of work. It does all look very flammable. Pity. Now I've got some insurance for small and medium feds. It's called... do as I say.'

Remember that interview with Brian about a year ago now? Describing Yuzu's off season? That summer, they'd be like 'today let's do the 4A, today the 4F.' Yeah. So. Well.

Seems to be the gist of it. Russia is probably coffeebreaking about the steps and quad rep, but I don't know how successful they'll be. Japan could have clout if they wanted to but apparently they don't want to. Go figure.

Japanese Fed's strategy makes no sense to mortal minds. ETA: USFSA, on the other hand, couldn't be more obvious if they tried.
