Anyone have a link to Yuzu's LGC at GPF without commentary, please?

In the threads for broadcasts (our streaming parties) some kind souls are sharing videos they uploaded or found that are lost in the threads, can you put those links in the first post of the thread with (or instead of) the information to streaming sites to make it easier to find for someone checking late. If I am asking for too much, just say so .. I totally understand that you are all busy and I am very thankful for all of the admins work managing the forum

Maybe he didn't want to sing

I am exactly the same, I will never listen to the song on its own but I keep watching the program over and over again.. I really love the program but not the song.

Yes, it was when we got the news of Chopin

I have a feeling that we would have had a very similar discussion about the SP even if Yuzuru had a new program or if he kept LGC. The truth is, he is judged differently because of his reputation, so he is the only one who is required to deliver great performances with high tech all the time.

It was not as bad as the first day of FOI.. The forum slowed down a lot and I even got an error message saying that the server was taking to long to respond a couple of times.

The ISU and the judges made it clear in the last season that the jumps are what is important. Music, choreography, transitions, etc are all secondary in their consideration when scoring, so I am not going to be surprised or disappointed if all top men recycled programs. I feel that we as fans have unrealistic expectations of them. We want them to win, upgrade their tech, be clean, be artistic, be original, and the list goes on, but this is very difficult if not impossible and they have to compromise to able to deliver their best. So I am going to support them all (not just Yuzu) in any decision they make because they are the ones who will have to live with it not me. If you are disappointed with the music choices, you should be upset with the ISU and not the skaters themselves. What they are doing now is exactly what the judges pushed them to do.

Can I have more details about last season's photobook please.. I want to know what to expect and if I should start saving

I have been watching his past performances of Chopin, and I now am very excited about the new season .Last season one of Yuzuru's goals was to improve his artistic expression and so he chose LGC and H&L. Both programs were amazing and very challenging, but he made them work even with technical mistakes. So now I am looking forward to seeing how this experience and the things he learned last season will affect his performance.

Well, that was fun.. I am going to sleep now

it's over....

To be fair, we are doing this to ourselves

So this will end in a cliffhanger

This is probably the most important news they have so they keep repeating it At least there seem to be new details added this time ... right?

At least the ads are fun

It is really funny how this thread is turning into commentary on the Japanese morning news.. What is Yuzuru doing to us

I was chill and totally fine with the the news about the SP but you guys are making me nervous and worried . I mean it seems like a very logical choice to me and the BV is not far behind the others, but your reactions are scaring me a bit? is it really that bad for a skater to repeat a program for a third time? or is it just because it is Chopin?

Is it just me, or is the forum loading really slow...

Thank you xeyra, it looks really nice this way I knew there was a better way to present the data, but I couldn't figure it out

Ninja land?

He has 5,I made mistake , there is only 2 for IN. I will correct it now. Thanks

I have been looking into the PC's for last season and wanted to share some numbers. I counted the number of 10's given to the top men last season. Here is what I found A 10 was given by the judges a total of 55 times (34 at WC, 8 at RC, 5 at EC, 3 at NHK, 3 at GPF, 1 at 4CC, and 1 at WTT). The skater who got 10's are Javier (25), Yuzuru (22), Patrick (5), and Shoma (3) 26 were given for IN, 15 for PE, 10 for CO, 3 for SS, and 1 TR Javier have four 10's for a skates with falls (3 in EC for CO and IN in the FS, 1 in WC for INT in the FS) Yuzuru have nine 10's for his SP even though he was never completely clean (NHK, GPF, 4CC, WC) one in TR,one in CO,2 in PE, and 5 in IN. Yuzuru also received a 10 for his FS at WTT in IN. The rest of his 10's were received for his Worlds FS (1 for SS, 2 fo CO, 4 for INT, 5 for PE) Yuzuru is the only skater with a 10 in TR (NHK for the SP). Three skaters have 10 for Skating skills Patrick, Yuzuru, and Shoma all in WC (Patrick for SP, Yuzuru and Shoma for FS) Shoma got all his 10's for his FS at Worlds. (SS, CO, IN) Patrick got all his 10's for the Worlds SP. (1 for SS, 2 for PE, 2 for IN). Looking at the numbers made me realize that the change the ISU made about not giving a 10 for a performance with a "serious error" (whatever that is)is not really going to do much as most of these 10's were given for outstanding performances (I don't know about other disciplines though) Though it is interesting to see the number of 10's in INT and PER,the most subjective of all components Edit:corrected Patrick's data *Data is from the GP's, GPF, EC, 4CC, WC, WTT. Mistakes are possible, let me know if you spot any so I can fix it. ** Anyone have a suggestion on a better way to present the data?!!!! This looks confusing but I couldn't fit it into a table or decide on how to break it into more than one ***I am starting to feel like the boring friend who only talks about studies when the group meets

I am learning simple statistics for my thesis and since my actual data is very boring,I decided to use the protocols for the top men in FS for last season a practice instead.I think I have everything about PC scores and the judges available now and my intention is to collect the GOE data as well (when I have time). However, I don't know what to look for in the data So, is there anything in you guys want to know? a question I maybe able to answer using the data? particular stats that can be interesting.

Wait a minute, that argument doesn't hold. If the judges don't give better GOE because they think the 4L is eiser why are they giving +3's to 4T and 4S?
