Too lazy to write reviews for separate magazines, so I'd just share my general impressions of different magazines. My favourite of favourites is Ice Jewels. Photos are amazing and unique, and they have special interviews that are insightful. About half on the magazine is Yuzu. Photos by Nobuaki Tanaka. Another favourite is Sportiva because of photos of Noto Sunao. Yuzuru's part of the magazine isn't too big, but quite substantial. Figure Skating Magazine (フィギュアスケート・マガジン B.B.MOOK) contains full scripts of Yuzu's press-conferences and interviews at competitions. Most part of the magazine is about Yuzu, but if you can't read Japanese maybe you'd find it kinda boring. If you want photos, I'd go for FIGURE SKATERS magazine. Don't let the title delude you. About 85% of pages filled with Yuzu, great and HUGE photos. Plus posters. Another safe choice is Figure Skate Fan Tsushin (フィギュアスケートファン通信). It should be called "Yuzuru Fan" honestly. About 150 photos, great sense. I have a feeling that editors are fans lol I also have a blacklist: - Ginban no Ojitachi (銀盤の王子たち). It's purely idol magazine, no appreciation of Yuzu as athlete. Publishing company is same with certain weekly magazine which printed gossips about Yuzu. Too bad this magazine usually has some really cute photos... - Magazines from Nikkan Sports Club (日刊スポーツグラフ). No. Never. Don't buy them. They belittle Yuzu in articles in that magazine. Also I'm not so fond of Figure Skate Life (フィギュアスケートLife) lately...

From what I read in reports Wakaba performed new EX. Also Mura said that his SP was choreographed by Massimo, and FS by Charlie.

Umm why do you mention "after her marriage"? She was married already when she was coaching Yuzu, and with two little kids (they are elementary school students now). I remember reading somewhere that she coaches less and less after her marriage and currently she does choreography more. Or someone said she wanted to do choreography more after Yuzuru moved to Brian. I think I read that she prefers being choreographer more.

I'd say that source of that rumor is quite yellow, it's from women's weekly magazine of same kind that wrote about Yuzu's "girlfriend" in 2016.

Aaaand the poll is closed. 4,208 votes 11% Patrick Chan 10% Javier Fernandez 63% Yuzuru Hanyu 16% Boyang Jin :s_drinks

Small Liza's leg wrap was awful Mishin said he took that girl because of her amazing huge jumps = natural talent.

https://twitter.com/moekihira_812/statu ... 5849900034 Rika's going to skate her new program this Saturday. I guess there won't be any video, bit hopefully somebody'd share information on music...

Mao had flutz, Kana had flutz... seem certain coaching team doesn't pay enough attention to such details.

I think it's hard to tell how many, cause unlike most of skaters he doesn't wear one pair until it falls aparts, then next pair and so on. According to Yoshida Toshinobu, person who sharpens his blades, Yuzu chooses several pairs that fit the best from boots send to him by maker (Edea) and uses them during the season. Every few weeks Yuzu sends Yoshida boots by air, Yoshida sharpens blades and sends back. In article back in 2014 Yoshida said that each pair lasts for about 3 months for him, 4 pairs for one season.

Same here. There are aestetically pleasing variations and not so pleasing. Btw Sima (Sakhanovich) said that once she started doing tano variations of jumps, usual version became more difficult to her.

I guess somebody posted that link at other thread but I can't keep up with all the same time, so posting just in case. Icenetwork poll for Men's SP is up: https://twitter.com/icenetwork/status/8 ... 5461431298 You can choose between Patrick/Javi/Yuzu/Boyang, 4 more hours till the end. At this moment 61% of votes are for Yuzu.

Я не спросила, извиняйте) Насколько я вижу (речь про пост fujio, да?) юзер только предполагает, что Юзу в Торонто уже.

たの楽しいｗｗ Rika's 3F-tano+3T-tano: https://twitter.com/moekihira_812/statu ... 8739954688

I second this. TV makes Shoma's skating look way better it looks on rink (this season I happened to see him twice, at CoR and 4CC). It must be because of camerawork, it's harder to understand pattern of the program, multidimensional skating and such on TV, cause they switch cameras. Yuzuru's skating looks impressive even with lousy camerawork (like Worlds 2017 lol), and it's astounding live. He is in the league of his own. One of the moments of 4CC practices that I remember very clear is how Shoma did his 4F and seconds later Yuzu did 3F at almost same place. I swear, that 3F was bigger than 4F.

It's a given, considering he makes less revolutions in air and more two-footed skating than others

Да уж, наш кактус ему с первого раза дался, а канадский уже три года никак не одолевается... А Капы-2010 как бы не было? :smile:

I can't find article to quote it, but they'd said clearly that they bring back old program.

No, it's just that ISU doesn't forbid anyone keeping programs. And I think at first Boyang was going to keep both programs for Olympic season (there some interview sometime mid-season), but not anymore. :grin:

It's Houdou Station aired 2011/11/07. There is related post in blog on Matsuoka's official site (pic included): http://www.shuzo.co.jp/blog/2011/11/column_304.html I really love this interview, watched it several times. So great to see it translated!

I think I also remember that I read somewhere that he actually wants to keep both programs? Can't recall where I saw that, though I thought skaters are only allowed to keep one program each season, or the rule had changed as well? There is no such rule about keeping programs, I mean ISU rule. Do you remember Boyang in 2015-16 season? He skated both programs from previuos season.
