    It will be Nathan, who will probably do 7 quads in LP with USFA behind his back. And even Boyang.

    I think Javi does not know Yuzuru did not go to Japan National last season. One more blow for Yuzuvier shippers. They are not that close.

    Well NHK is the sponsor and they want money because Yuzuru gets high ratings. Anyway if that means he will do CoR because it's the earliest event then I think it will be ok. i hope to go to Russia if Yuzuru will do CoR.

    Yeah they can give him other GPs, no NHK because he skipped National. Maybe this will be goodness in disguise. Osaka is... hostile. But Yuzuru will have to do NHK.

    I am sure Yuzuru gave Zhenia the Irene Gloves. That's the Japanese way. She gave him presents. So he gave her presents.

    FSO also has rumors right? They're thinking of themselves as elite. I remember my friend said they bashed Adelina there too. For the sake of being elite.

    The meme thread has an issue, many twitter doesn't show.

    But on VK. There are more Yuzuru's fans, no? I am surprised they have many Patrick's fans over there

    I love Churro too... I want so much... aww

    I only hope Yuzuru won't have to go to NHK... but if Shoma got NHK they will blow up his scores... gezzz GPF is even worse. JSF made sure to prepare all the locations that dislike Yuzuru.

    It's not just low GOE, if judges do apply the guidelines properly, it's negative GOE they should have given. Even if we do not take pre-rotation into the account, that kind of landings can/should get -1 across the board if the skater were just some no name guy. And if It were me in the panel, -2 at least.

    There is a lot wrong with that landing. You can see here the issues that I mentioned above: 1) misalignment of the foot and knee, 2) misalignment of the torso and the lower body and 3) misalignment of the shoulders and the hips. The sweeping motion he does with his arm is a balance check that helps him realign his torso. He wrenches himself back into alignment to land the jump but physics is making him pay a high price for these jumps with his body. The scariest part is that these kinds of landings from him are not one-offs but seem to be how he commonly lands some of his jumps. I don't want to think about how his 4Lz will look like. One more thing, I am not sure if it's a joke or not. Fairuza could confirm that. In some interview Plushenko said something like Mishin's young students are learning to jump like Shoma aka cheats the take-off a lot. Well... of course because by cheating the take-off, you can get away with the landings.

    And if we talk like this on the other forums about Nathan and Shoma, we will be labeled as haters and fanatics. I am sad that this sport doesn't have credible critics. All the figure skating reporters are either ignorant or not paying attention to this. And when they write something, they never ever mention the technique part. And many coaches and specialists just turn their eyes away and dare nor speak up.

    All his quads are harmful for his hips. :cry: When he lands his quads, I notice that his hips are always misaligned - the hip of the free leg is raised higher than the one of the landing leg which is what causes him to unwrap his free leg strangely (he swings it to the side and then to the back so it's almost 90 degrees to the ice). The proper alignment which puts the least stress on the hips and back is to keep the hips level with each other and the same direction as the shoulders so you create a box with your hips and your shoulders. I made a veeery simple picture below of the view from the back of proper alignment vs. Nathan alignment. Hopefully it gives an idea of what I mean. Sometimes he raises his left hip a lot because he lands a bit off-balance on his landing leg and needs to readjust. Other times not so much but I don't think I've ever seen him land a quad with level hips. I think it's become a bad habit. Thank you so much, Fresca. Your words are so much alike to Adelia my friend who first commented on Nathan's hips in the landing. Since then I have noticed how scary his landings are, especially the stress in the hip. Do you mind telling me about Shoma's landings vs Nathan's landings? I have noticed Shoma has even worse issue.

    If going by [link=https://twitter.com/rockerskating/status/846409033452048384]Jackie Wong's tweet[/link] at the time of his 6-quad layout at Worlds, the BV would be 115.74, assuming all level 4s. A 7-quad layout with the 4Lo could go up to 122 BV. Nathan's BV at WC was 112.87 from ISU protocol with all level 4. I assume if he upgraded the layout then it might be around 115 -116 next season. I don't think he should do 4lo cause it will be harmful on his hip but who knows, Nathan does not seem to care about lasting until 2022 much.
  17. meoima
    I forgot Nathan's BV, anyone tell me his BV with 6 quad is how much? Thanks. I am so slow these days.
  18. meoima
    Yeah, her article makes it seems like: "Thank you very much for spending money on us, as for those whom we think they do not spend money on us, eh... we don't see them." :crazy:

    Gkelly replied me on FSuniverse, I will just quote her words here: -------------

    But it's required to give -3 if you don't have combo already. So I don't get why they have to add another similar rule.

    ISU has just released a communication 2089 for singles and pairs: http://static.isu.org/media/508716/2089 ... 017-18.pdf There is this part I don't understand. Maybe my English is too weak for it: ---- "SP: Jumps not according to jump requirements final GOE must be -3" ---- Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you in advance.

    Her best student is Jeremy Abbott. Who also has outstanding skating skills. He has not r****d yet but I think he will soon.

    Some people did miss the jabs thrown at each other from Yagudin or plushy though. They think it makes the sport more entertaining than this somewhat friendly and chill rivalry between Yuzu and Javi :laugh: About Patrick : I think what he said is pretty tame compared to what Yags and Plush threw at each other. But he stands out because other in his generation (post-vancouver/sochi quad) does not really talk like this. Mishin and Plushenko even told Russian media that Tat and Yag hired someone to hypnotize him and made him fall at the Olympic... I mean... both of them... and I watched that video. It's still there on the internet I don't remember where it is. Just you can understand sometimes theses top skaters can be ridiculous. This sport has too much politics in it, so many coaches and skaters use words to do politicking for themselves or for some specific purpose.

    Machida's skating and his poses... I used to cringe a lot because of his poses. I find his poses too over-dramatic and forced. But now that I think back, it's unique style as well. I think his transitions were implemented very nicely.
