I actually had more of this in mind: That's just not a hydroblade. Your example shows why exactly she isn't doing a real one as a transition, because she doesn't have the requisite control, or the edging. Boyang's had control, and he was able to get close to the ice while maintaining a good edge (though it's really quite briefly held), while Yuzuru's is great, of course, especially because of how long he can hold it for.

He can fare well with a hybrid team. I'm sure he and the fed will make the best decision for him. The new/expanded team will give him the push he needs.

I'm assuming it's a collaboration, actually. More of a hybrid team, than just moving to TCC with Orser as a permanent coach. But Orser will certainly be a part of the team, it seems. Or watching GoT

Daleman and the other Canadian kids are actually why I thought that SC would give the Chinese Fed whatever they wanted. They weren't going to step on those toes given where 2022 is. It's probably why they took in so many Dance teams, too. The Dance team influx was a clue. Chinese and Korean feds are rising, and want to rise further. China has a good Pairs base, and Korea is getting there in Ladies. They want a foothold in Men next, and the USFSA has the most threatening base there currently, deserved or not.

It's good tinfoiling. Won't be shocked if it's true, given what we all think of the new rules and who's behind them for whom.

Wow, I've made quite the impression here in a short while.

Whatever the opposite of this is: I'll find one later lol

FRICKING CALLED IT. YOU GO BOYANG!!

It may be used in the ChSq. The SP has to have a 2A or a 3A. The 4A can be the solo jump, or done in combination. Unless someone can do steps into a solo 4A, it will probably left for the FS (or not done at all, because of the proposed new reward for it). His was alright, not the fastest. A real example of bad hydroblades would be Medvedeva -- to the point I can't even call it a hydroblade.

Not what I meant. He does indeed put in a Biellmann to get a level four. Whether or not he can get a level four without it is not the point.When he does a Biellmann in a spin, he's doing it for the level. If he were being dinged for it not being a good position for him (either through poor GOE, or not being bumped up a level), who knows if he would still be doing it? Or if he were, it would be made much better in that case. And who knows if he would still do Biellmann if levels weren't a thing?

Yuzuru's layback ina bauer is good. I think his Biellmann should be dropped, not because someone else has a better one, but because it's just not a good position for him. It's literally there to get a level. It's like Yuna Kim's I-Spin, which she used to sometimes hold for 8 revolutions just to get a level.

I think I'm more OK with the SoV knowing that 10% flat would have lead to -ve quality elements.

If flow out isn't accounted for in "good landing", then the USFSA officially can't be more obviously behind this. Flow-out is the opposite of what Chen and Zhou have.
-
Lovely! So Zhou, Uno, Chen power trio.

This isn't recent is it? I feel like I read this right after worlds.
