Melodie

I would not oppose cos she deserves lol

Off topic and cross thread a bit, but Japan will not allow foreigners to enter starting mid night on the 30th, so Brian and Ghisland might not go to Japan and meet Yuzu at JNats if the order is not lifted and Yuzu is still going, correct?

Dun dun No more GPF?

A reminder of what greatness truly is. He does not skate to music. He is the music.

Just Yuzu thing =))

😝

Figures. How else are they going to get their Gold if the kids can't enter? This sport (and the Olys broadly speaking) is corrupted to the core.

That person did well with the translation. Just a small note from me: He was mentioned in a program dedicated to highlighting sports giants

That was quite nice and very complementary of him even tho they got some details wrong, like he didn't win the WC consecutively or he didn't say he would go to Beijing LoL. But they correctly said he is aiming for the 4A (but lol they literally said 4A and not 4 Axel), he broke world records 19 times, he is the trailblazer in combining techniques and artistry and he desires (and succeeds) to give back to society. Most importantly, they focused on him and him alone, no rivalry this or rivalry that or any nasty narrative. VTV is Vietnam's national TV so that is a plus as well PS: VNM speakers, feel free to correct me if I get sth wrong PPS, they also mentioned Pooh a lot too and that makes perfect sense lol. The pooh rain is lterally a sight to behold and pooh is his trusted friend.

JSF is JSF cos they are dumb LOL. The most charismstic male skaters Japan has still are so far the older ones IMO (Yuzu, Dai) and those who have the most presence on the ice are still these guys + Shoma. They have these qualities even when they were much younger. The current wunderkids dont quite have it just yet.

Costume by Satomi Ito this season (part 3)

Costumes by Satomi-san this season - part 2 (Note: These are taken from her Twitter account so most likely they are hers. Anyway, all hail the queen of versatility. Bonus (a bit off-topic): Beverly Zhu

My mistake. It was indeed a 4Lo (for some reasons I thought the board displayed the second jump as a 4S, altho while watching I knew it looked more like a 4Lo takeoff LoL) So she has 4Lo, 4F, 4T

Grassl did 4Lo combo but was not credited, if I remember correctly (due to Ur). Adelia has a 4F, per team T on instagram, and she fell on a 4S following the 4Lo combo in the program. It seems she fell on the 4Lo a couple of times DURING warmup before she could eventually get it. I hope poor girl is alright.

Adelia debuted a 4Lo-2T. If she succeeds in the JGPF and/or JWC, she would be the first female skater to ever jump the 4Lo and the first skater to jump a 4Lo combo in competition (ratified). So she has a 4F, 4T, 4Lo and 4S now. Nice edge on the F, flat Lz (?), good toepick (than some other Team T's skaters), good Euler, less muscled jumps than some other Team T's skaters. Good spins, not really expressive, kinda slow across the ice, program is bad per the usual standard with Team T's camp (but still way better than her SP, just what is that???). Her FP last year let her shine way more.

Makabe better renames FaOI as "Hanyu Yuzuru on Ice" now LOL.

True. That too. It can be 4CC and/or Olys and/or Worlds and/or next season. Anything he needs, really But I'm just saying, even if he doesn't do JNats, not sending him to Olys would be incredibly stupid. Whether he goes tho is a different matter and it is only for him to know.

I don't think skipping JNats means he is skipping the Olys, if JSF lets him go (they would be one of the stupidiest sports feds in the entire universe if they don't honestly, but what do I know). Olys is a stop on his journey to get the 4A so IMO if he can go, he would probably go cos he stated earlier this season that he needed to attend as many comps as possible.

A bit curious about his wording (starting line) but that is trivial. It's great to hear he is steadily doing better. All the best to Yuzu Ps: Translation from Lae

Both actually. Read here for more info. On World standing, I understand that Yuzu is currently in third. He might move down to 5th if Jason medals next week and Shoma gets on the podium in GPF. I'm not so sure about season world standing tho. On scoring potential, in this quad, there really are only 2 male skaters in the world who have scored higher than 300 so often. Also, Yuzu is the only skater who can potentially jump all 6 quads. Japan can have a podium sweep with Yuzu in the team. So then, taking all these into consideration, would JSF be stupid enough not to send Yuzu if he doesn't compete at JNats? That is my question.

Pretty Wakaba Also, she decided to put the 3A in her SP now.

This can just be an aftermath of anything that went wrong, jumps, spins, on ice, off ice, you name it. I refuse to not call NHK a cursed event when the list of skaters who have to pull out is that long.

NHK is cursed
