    My friend is a nurse in training and she says Brian’s surgery is totally ok. After 3 days most people come back to work. There’s no worry.

    I still remember the last time they pushed a Japanese man against Yuzuru. I don’t bother repeating how it happened. Everything depends on Yuzuru himself. Judges want to support cheated technique as much as they can, but there is only so much they can do. My friend gave a person who knows nothing of skating the top guys videos (their best performances) and that lady replies Yuzuru has the best jumps, performances overall. if casual viewers can tell that right away, ISU would be nuts to believe otherwise.

    Yuzuru will win Olympic 2018. I have no doubt about that. The road is full of hardships and difficulties for a reason. He doesn’t get candies and special love from judges for a reason. Legends don’t need to be spoiled.

    British commentators are directors, coaches at the rink Uno is training. Easy to understand. They are also doing politics for their student.

    Yuzuru at his peak can travel 720 meters in a free skate. at CoR 2017 he traveled 705 meters, it’s no where near his peak. and average top 5 men at WC travel 620 meters. you see the difference.

    Here is another interesting analysis of Mai's program vs Zhenia Med's program: http://perform-live.com/analysis.html You see the number of crossovers and number of rotation by skating (turns, steps) are where Zhenia Med is superior to Mai.

    I do not think he says lower revolutions by spinning is better, it just means that Yuzuru can hit the level of the spin faster than others (or that Yuzuru feels he hits the level enough). And it varies, for example, I think Javi does more spin revolutions to ensure that he gets the level done. And rotations by skating means the total number of times Yuzuru turns his body or simple, the number of times he uses "turns and steps".

    There is this analysis video of a guy in Sweeden. He has calculated a lot of numbers regarding Yuzuru here in this video: So apparently, Yuzuru has reduced his number of crossovers: 28 crossovers in the free skate compared to other guys who do 36 crossovers in general. Yuzuru does 53 rotation by skating, compared to the number of 40 that most other male skaters do. Yuzuru's ice coverage was 705 m in his free skate, while most guys are 620m. And this is just the number of the early season. As Yuzuru at his great condition in GPF 2015 did travel up to 720m. For your reference, I talked with the guy and he said, in the free skate Shoma Uno does 44 crossovers (as he counted them all).

    Greatness has to obtain by trials and hardships. In fact I was afraid if Yuzuru won too much at the beginning of the season he might have lowered his guard down. But this is all good. He isn’t peaking yet and he will do better as the season goes. I do think Yuzuru is the chosen one, that’s why so many difficulties are thrown at him.

    Seimei is a great choice for the Olympic, the music sounds amazing in the arena. I hope Yuzuru will skate last at the Olympic.
  11. meoima
    I can see it on the horizon. Overall I hope he will get rid of 4lo in the SP, maybe finally he will skate clean SP agan.
  12. meoima
    Yeah... his 4S in practice is still the biggest quad I have seen. I can’t tell about the 4lz as It’s still not his best attempt yet. And his best 4lz I was sitting above and not sideway, so I a, unclear about the distance, unlike like when I saw he landed 4S. However, we all agree the 4lz was really high and wow. Image when he finally masters it... Btw, knowing Yuzuru... he might add 4lz in the SP... or put 3A as the first jump and do both quads in the second half. And there goes my sanity.
  13. meoima
    No... mostly because Yuzuru didn’t stalk his way into this jump. He skated straight into it, turned around and snapped right away. The moment he turned around for the lutz, he didn’t prepare anything. It is obvious in the arena to see who were going to prepare for which jump. For example, during practice, I saw Nathan paragraph into 4lo (which he didn’t try in competition) for almost the length of the ice rink.
  14. meoima
    Yes. The Lutz during the competition was less fast in rotation but higher. The lutz he did in practice had better body angle that’s why the landing was good. Overall Yuzuru still needs time to get used to the 4lz in competition. Since he said he knew he won the free skate due to landing the 4lz, I don’t see him backing down on the 4lz...

    The guy does the video analysis for a living with other European athletes so he is pretty serious about that. He just doesn’t know the true numbers of their heights, and the cameras being so unstable doesn’t help as well. Who could have said ISU and co are so unreliable when it comes to biographies and recording... lol
  16. meoima
    I would say Yuzuru’s air time is very much the highest. Hopefully we will see better 4lz from him soon.
  17. meoima
    And the guy who did the analysis also said the numbers depend quite a lot on the camera angles and so on. Unless we have a still view camera which doesn’t move along with the skaters and record from floor views, it’s impossible to compare just from several videos. For example I sat right beside the 4S3T Yuzuru did in practice and I saw nothing bigger than that. It was like 4 meter or longer. But we don’t have that kind of views all the time.
  18. meoima
    The guy said since he took the wrong number for heights in the first place. he might have to redo the calculation for a better result. So don’t take it as a close to correct statements.

    On the plane back to my country, I sat beside an auntie who came back from Sweeden and transited in Moscow. I told her I came to Moscow to watch skating competition. We were bored on the long flight, thus I showed her Yuzuru’s best performances. She was just reacting like: “OMG he’s sooooo amazing. Omg such a great jump. Oh he is such a great athlete.” Happy...
  20. meoima
    The guy made the video said he would check out the 4lz Yuzuru did in practice from a fancam. Hopefully he will give out something soon.

    As I was in the arena, I would say both of Nathan's programs were nice but I feel underwhelming a bit? I like the Sp music as it is cool but the performance is not something that makes you feel goosebump or something. And I love Rite of spring but Nathan's LP is made of mostly Chinese-ish music cuts anyway. So I asked a Chinese girl how does she feel and she said it's a bit underwhelming too. Seimei is certainly much more memorable when it comes to the music choice, costume and choreography. I think The Skating Lesson said something about Yuzuru has a huge presence on the ice and that Seimei is very complimentary of that? I dislike them so I do not watch. Overall I think Chopin is a safe choice but it is beautiful nevertheless and it embodies the softness in Yuzuru's skating. While Seimei is too powerful and people cannot stop their eyes from watching it. Phil Hersh once said he felt pity that Seimei should have been shown at the Olympic so casual viewers would know the beauty of the sport... I am sure he feels kinda regretting now loll

    At this rate I am not surprised if Yuzur wants 4F someday just to get all the quads done. He said that when he was junior. I was laughing and did not believe but... yeah if he gets that 4A done then why not 4F to be the last quad to master...
  23. meoima
    People are lucky that at CoR, somehow I did not see Yuzuru on the same floor as mine. I was looking down on him on the 2nd floor and I am scared of height. Or if we're on the same floor I might strangle him like this for all his stubbornness lol.
  24. meoima
    Boyang has all the time do develop himself because... he is not pressured by the media hype and fan attention. I think somehow he knows that his best chance is 2022 and he does not have to rush (like the other guys). Everything needs time, especially when it comes to tangible skills. Many artists say they disliked how they play some music pieces when they're young (and yet people praised them for it). Only later in life, when they're more experienced, they finally can say "I understand it now."
  25. meoima
    Yuzuru's 4lz in practice is much better but I wonder if the fancam is enough for him to do an analysis. Or someone should send him the video of Yuzuru's first 4lz in practice that got recorded by Japanese media. I think it was a good angle.
