    In short, he will do 3lz and 3lo at this competition due to slight pain in the right knee. Thank you very much for the translation.

    Video on daily motion for people who can not see the video on youtube https://t.co/SPFjsGOKcw Now where are the people who doubted me when I said Yuzuru would definitely do 4lz?
  3. meoima
    Yeah... as much as I want a program with only 1-2 quads from him, save his knee for a while please... but he's so extra... sigh...

    Folks on Chinese anonymous forum (who claimed to know an insider at CC) indeed said Yuzuru's not in his best shape right now quite a while before the Japanese media. But it's like 2 Channel when everyone can hide their identity so there is no way to confirm it. We shall see Yuzuru's watered down layout by practice tomorrow anyway. I will be very glad if we see less than 5 quads in the LP but maybe he will just skip some jumps so we can not tell his layout.

    Hopefully Yuzuru will take Orser's suggestion. That's all. It is just a senior B, no need to bring it all to a competition like this. I am not worried yet.
  6. meoima
    The point is will he reduce the difficulty because in the news quoting Orser, it was more of a suggestion from Orser, not Yuzuru's decision.
  7. meoima
    What makes my friend puzzled is that, Orser told one media that Yuzuru's knee in pain. Then he told another media (In this case it's NHK) that Yuzuru's ok. And the English version of the news (Kyodo) quote Yuzuru saying he's ok. So what is happening there? Did Yuzuru tell Brian not to tell the media further? Will Yuzuru listen to Brian's suggestion and simplify his layout? We do not know if Yuzuru would listen to Brian's suggestion though. I hope he will.

    1) Yuzuru said he's ok with the media. It is in the news, the official English news also shows his quote that he says he's ok. He never told the media he had injury before competition. 2) It's Brian Orser who told the media Yuzuru skipped practice due to knee pain 3) It's also Brian who told the media he suggested Yuzuru to adjust the difficulty. 4) BUT in the same morning, Brian told NHK that Yuzuru is in ok condition. So maybe Yuzuru's team told Brian not to mention his knee anymore? We do not know. 5) We do not know if Yuzuru would follow Brian's suggestion and reduce the difficulty. Will he? We do not know yet. BTW, Yuzuru indeed skipped practice at CC for several days.

    This news says Yuzuru has pain in his right knee it seems, and his program might be adjusted.

    Autumn Classic judge line up... https://twitter.com/oro1_/status/909864099542007810

    One more thing to be sad for Lombardia judging, that the top scores there were close and higher than this, ughhh judges make me want to vomit:
  12. meoima
    Well, with Nathan and Boyang and plenty of other men including 2 Russian men will do 4lz this season. And all of them have correct lutz edge so it's super easy to call. Why Zhenia and Osmond and Daleman don't get their flutz called? Because they're medal contenders from big federations and they all benefit from flutz not get called. However most men from big federations have correct lutz edge, so there's a high chance they will not let a big fish go.
  13. meoima
    Somehow I'd rather they don't peak that early. I don't know hoe to say it... but I mean... it's more reassuring if they don't do well in senior B and even senior A.
  14. meoima
    Yuzuru has proven that he can force the jugdes to give him what he wants by his quality skating when it's important the most. The more they don't want him, the better he will show them how great he is. Actually I think it's good, because I love to see the faces and the expressions of those who want to score Yuzuru low but can't just because lol Btw the system will change after this season anyway so it's easy to understand why everyone is getting candies. Not to mention the influence of Bianchetti Bianconni on Italian fed... lol google that person and you will understand. I don't agree with people who think the scores will be tamed after this competition though. More likely the scores will go wild more and more. But that we can't do anything about it.
  15. meoima
    I wouldn't say that Nathan is more comfortable with quads especially when Nathan only did 3 quads in total at US classic. His strategy is that he adds the PCS first and then the quads later and maybe ignore some transitions or difficult moves in the long run. But there is no guarantee that it will work well in the end. We don't know and frankly Nathan himself doesn't know either. That's why he only did 3 quads at US Classic. To PR his "potential". But we all know plan and the reality might differ. What makes Nathan comfortable most is that he can be happy with his current choices, not doing many quads and US media will just jump in to protect him (see how Jackie Wong is going out with all his force to say Nathan is only testing out). Javi also has the same luxury because frankly Spanish media will care nothing about the number of quads his rivals do. Yuzuru does not have that luxury, Japanese media and some of his own people, will trash him like there is no end if he doesn't do 5 quads right at the beginning of the season. He will do 4lz at Autumn Classic or not I don't know but I am sure there will be hundreds of media trash him for a mistake even if he lands 4lz lol. And this is why I think JSF isn't smart but who am I to tell them lol. Their media and the fed are too busy creating rivalries for their own skaters and totally forget they might make their top skaters worn out too soon. All they want is some constant wins and forget that, whatever truly matters will be at the Olympic, not the inflated and unrealistic scores at senior B or even GP. See US classical doesn't care to boost scores too much. It's unnecessary for the time being. USFA will play their political games, but not here during this time, it will be at Skate America and US national.

    I don't think he should wait several competitions to add the 4lz, after all he has been practicing it for a while. But of course going against Javi at AU where Canadian might prefer Javi over Yuzuru lol it's hard to say.
  17. meoima
    Yuzuru will eat Javi alive... because he's that extra
  18. meoima
    I think Yuzuru's fans should just stay chill because he won't be clean back fo back whole season like he wants anyway. I have read Yuzuru's interviews for 5-6 years? And he always aims for what his true nature isn't built for. I am not an old person, but old enough to understand your true nature will never change. Yuzuru will always be emotional and he will only do well in the right condition. But will you have the right conditions every time? No. So he has to accept that and embrace that. This is why a bit of Javi's attitude is good for Yuzuru. Stay chilllll... Lol his strategy is to stay calm and stay away from his own media people, stay as long as he could in Toronto because in Japan it's toxic from all sides lol. I hope I don't offend Japanese fans but when all around media news are saying he's old he's outdated he should step down, that they don't believe in him then better to stay away. His true layout is enough to win Olympic if he does well. Believe in Yuzuru.

    I would say both programs Shoma did like 60-70 crossovers. 2 quads UR, some borderline UR. Both 3A very tilted on the air. The 1lo3F technique is getting more questionable when he leap his feet. Some bad habit in the axis. And needless to say, transitions are false because who cares....
  20. meoima
    I would say Nathan might not care if he loses Cup of Russia, American skaters can afford to mess the whole GP, all they need is to do well at National and WC (and Olympic), ask Michelle Kwan who often lost at GP levels but won WC 5 times.
  21. meoima
    Let me tell you the story of Maxim Trankov and Tatiana, the Olympic champion in pair at Sochi 2014. At some point after Olympic, Trankov admitted that after they got huge score from the beginning of the season, then throughout the season, his team dropped of most difficult transitions to ensure they would skate cleanly as much as they could. And they won partly due to the original PCS was high when they did harder programs and those scores kept going up and up. I can see someone aiming to do the same. Transitions are false. They're no need for transitions if you land your jumps and make the judges love you. All of this has to do with PR. When people and judges believe that your programs are beautiful you will get everything.
  22. meoima
    You know what's so impressive about Nathan's strategy? It's such a great PR stunt from his team and USFA and their media. Nathan doesn't need to land 6-7 quads right now to prove anything, people automatically believe that he already landed those quads. And they automatically love his new programs because they're good and they totally ignore how much it might be affected by quads (and pressure). It is amazing his team and US media makes people believe it. And judges will believe it as well. And they all ignore that Nathan only landed a 4F step out in the SP, and 2 quads in LP. They're like "OMG at this rate Nathan might retire when he won and his career would be too short!!" I can see Nathan will just gradually add quad depends on his condition, do less transitions (actually his current program doesn't have much transitions except good upper body use), and his PCS will just go up and up. such amazing strategy and people love it without a doubt and believe him without a doubt.
  23. meoima
    Btw I can image if Yuzuru jumps 5 quads with 4lz at Autumn Classic, the media will say he copies someone lol. Been there, done that.
  24. meoima
    US classic scores well and gave out some acceptable and sensible scores while the other not lol. But I think USFA will soon reconsider their scoring lol. The game is to play big big and big, give out huge scores as much as possible. But again those numbers might be double edge swords and become huge pressure later on. So I would say I still prefer Nathan's strategy.
  25. meoima
    Well I have seen this before, by season 2014-2015, Machida did well in GP while Yuzuru did a mess. And media played shit, acting like Yuzuru's the worst etc, and we know what happened lol. I am sure most people including his fans, especially new fans, already write Yuzuru off because they don't think he can handle consistency and that he can handle new quads. But his old fans, especially who knows his pattern, are just chilling out on twitter because we know the media is disgusting as always and the judging is equally bad as well lol. I mean... lol they're going to replace the system anyway way. After this USFA might feel regrets about the scores they gave at US Classic. But they will have other works to do lol.
