I share your sentiment tbh. I mean, Med might have Yuna's record but there's no way her performance could ever match up Yuna's. Technique wise, even artistry wise, Yuna is way above Med.

Funny how JSF think Dai has more potential than Kazuki. I mean, I get that Dai's artistry is better but artistry alone won't make him competitive internationally. I wonder what JSF wants to achieve by placing Dai at that special list.

The King has arrived!!! I repeat... The King has arrived!!!

If Yuzu is competing, then the most popular discipline would be senior mens. Yepp, ISU should already recognize that Yuzu is the biggest factor of mens FS popularity. But considering Yuzu's not there, I can say that ladies are currently the most popular? I mean, we have two ladies doing 3A and one OG gold medalist.

I feel you. Especially now that he finally qualifies with full points and highest score. But yeah...his health comes first. When I'm feeling disappointed like right now, I always remind myself that it must be much more disappointing for Yuzu not being able to participate in GPF. But that's life, I guess.

My thoughts exactly. Right now it is about time Yuzu has to set up priorities for the bigger events, which is Worlds next year. Assuming that the injury is not as bad as last year, he'd have just about enough time to heal and prepare himself for Worlds. I still want him to win Gold at Worlds for at least once more. Three is a miracle number.

At this point, what I hope is he'll do anything that makes him happy. Forgive me for saying this, but I really wouldn't mind if he becomes a skating monk again this time around. I mean, what we define as happiness might be different from what is happiness for him. So I guess I just want him to do whatever it is he wants to do. Of course I'll be happy if he gets to play his favourite video games, but again...all is up to him. In the meanwhile, I'll be binge watching his vids whenever I feel like I miss him (which literally means every few hours).

Now, I need a seer to just do us a favour and predict only good things for Yuzu.

I got so curious about this Dmitriev that I binge watched a lot of his videos on youtube. And imagine my surprise when I find out that he -no offense here- is just an ordinary skater. I mean, the guy obviously still has problems with some of his triples. But well, that doesn't necessarily mean he can't do the 4A tho. Watching his skates really convinced me that him putting 4A into his layout was meant more for boosting anticipation for his skates. If he can do it then it's history, if he can't then it won't matter much since he's not even in the league of the elites. I just don't like the way Mishin is trying to make him bigger than he actually is. Nahh...probably I just don't like Mishin after all.

Considering our recent discussion on General Hanyu thread about the impossibility of prerotating axel, I doubt that Dmitriev would be able to land a ratified 4A. I think him putting that 4A in his program is more likely to boost the anticipation for his skating. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd end up botching it into a triple or even a single A. As for Yuzu, I'm more content on believing him fully. I know he's trolled us a lot in the past, or even now he might as well is still trolling us. But having faith in him will spare me the anxiety of thinking when, where and how will he perform Nessie. I trust Yuzu to have the best judgment on when, where and how. Even if he's not the first skater to land it (God forbid!) I'll still be happy if he can land Nessie with an ideal form and score.

It is true that when new skating fans watched Koola before they join the larger fandom, they'd have this stigma towards some specific skaters, but in my opinion, as long as fans can filter information then TSL or Koola is okay. I like watching Koola's videos because I like to know the details on jump techniques. I also follow chiburahakai and mirakyun on twitter and I learn a lot about skating technique from them. I think if we talk about performance that "GOES OUT", then I'd pick Daisuke over literally everyone, tho.

Sometimes evil me had a thought that they like Shoma just because he's Yuzu's rival. Like...he's a fellow Japanese and also a top skater. So easy to compare him with Yuzu.

THIS also!! I know that Shoma goes to US every summer for jump training, and his jumps (other than the floop) have been getting better -though I have to add that he still prerotates a lot too-. I just...don't understand why judges never called that floop. I really appreciate it when skaters (like Zhenya, Satoko and Mao) tried their best to improve their technique. I also appreciate Shoma for going for jump training in US and it'll probably take a few years to really correct his floop, but...I don't know, I feel like his floop isn't getting any better up until now.

I know what you mean and I do enjoy Shoma's skating. His spins and edge work are one of my favorite amongst mens single. About the transition score, I think even with what Yuzu performed in Helsinki's Origin, the transition there was still better than Shoma. But yeah...judges are never consistent with their scoring. I expect that if they score Yuzu lower, then they should score Shoma even lower than that.

This is exactly what I hate about his team. I mean...the guy can be more than that but they refuse to be more. It's frustrating!!! With such a skating skill they could give him more transitions during program. But noooo...because judges already reward him highly with literally crossovers all throughout the program, they didn't add anything more into it. Ughhhh...I wouldn't be so pissed when Shoma gets more GOE than Yuzu if he doesn't only do crossovers in between his programs. Oh, and his floop that never gets called also really annoyed me. I know changing jump technique is difficult, but come on...Zhenya manage to improve her flutz so why can't Shoma? Or should I not compare him to Zhenya either?

I think at this point kuyashii-Zu will do everything to win. And with judges being inconsistent from the few competitions we had, I guess he won't take the risk loading all his jumps in the first half.

The mental image I got from this imaginary scene

I think those TV channels should be sufficient when it comes to major competitions and ice shows. I pray it would work fine for you so it can be shared over here.

For me, the ones that give the most ethereal feel would actually be Hope and Legacy and Haru yo Koi. Both of them have this gradation of colors which I find exceptionally beautiful. As for my personal favourites currently it's a tie between Seimei, Hope & Legacy and Origin.

I second that purple! Well, I'd rather Yuzu change his hair colour than him wearing any make up. I mean...his skin is already gorgeous as it is. I wouldn't want to see it smeared with any kind of make up.

Let me join!! 1. H&L's biellman spin OR Chopin's backcounter 3A 2. Seimei's one leg entry into a camel spin OR The Swan's combination sit spins 3. First person to land 4A in competition OR Win perfect streak in a season 4. 3Peat Olym Champion OR WR holder in SP, FS, and Total under the new system for another 5 years (this means even after another successive Olympic season) 5.

First person to land a 4T-4T combo in competition OR first person to land a Quintuple Toe in competition 9. Change coach and compete for another 4 years OR Retire before the 19/20 season and go on a hiatus before returning as a coach in 2022 10. Skate clean to LGC in competition or land a Quad Flip in competition 11. Yuzu's program choreo: Jeffrey Buttle OR Shae-Lynn Bourne 12. Favorite rawness/passion: RJ 2012 World or Seimei NHK 13.

If YUZU were not a figure skater: would you want him to be a baseball player OR soccer player bonus: Music choice: Shoma's Moonlight or Alina's POTO and for this ones too 1. Bold and brave costuming choices: Plunging V neckline or tights 21. Beautiful celestial being Yuzu (HYK, H&L, Etude etc) or Fierce competitior Yuzu (Origin, LGC, Seimei, etc) All my choices are on bold

Adding to what everyone has already said, we also wouldn't know how puberty and growth spurt will affect his jumps. I wouldn't want Stephen to try too hard. Better take safe approach while anticipating body changes.

What makes me lol waswhen he said (quite proudly) how he hated Yuzuru back then. Guhhh...this guy...why couldn't he be more diplomatic for once.

To think that those older ladies would've known better. So rude!!! If they wanna take picture with Ghislain while having trouble with the language, they could've made some some gestures or at least say sorry first in Japanese, and not just pushing and getting between you and Ghislain. I'm pretty sure every Fanyu would at least understand what 'gomen' or 'sumimasen' means.

To be fair, I personally find it important that we as part of the Hanyu fandom start to voice out the needs to respect Yuzu's privacy more. And I have a good faith that this G*** person is trying to do that. Tho not all of us can agree with how she does that.
