    Yeah we still have to work on making the navigation easier. But what you’re describing sounds a lot like what we already have here https://planethanyu.com/ourpicks/ It’s also a sidebar on the index page of the forum where you can always find the threads corresponding to the most recent events. Is that what you mean? Also, I’m glad you like it here

    He’s got a thing for wings because this kanji is part of his name http://jisho.org/search/羽 @Maia I think the “Continues” part also refers to the legacy of figure skating that he means to continue. During the show he talked a lot about what he learned and took from his idols and he made sure there would be kids at his show for this reason. I believe he hopes to give to the kids what his idols gave him and thus make the legacy continue through them

    He’s had a history of being not too wasteful with short programs, tho You know, now that I see your ava. The only thing that’s bugging a bit is that POTO thing Yuzu did during the cww finale... I hope that was not supposed to be a hint LOL

    (What’s the point of repeating LGC without the costume... jk) I hope you guys are just jinxing recycling

    recycling Yuzu hinted he is going to approach his program choices differently from now on so I’m expecting completely new programs

    In addition, since the quote goes “Planet Hanyu: population one” (Yuzu alone) symbolically we can’t be inhabitants of the planet so what’s left are satellites orbiting the planet and watching its beauty from afar ^^ I guess we look like stars to Yuzu

    Well, I guess if Tukt didn’t have that step before her jump it would still be a bit too much of a deduction but, oh well, the skaters that don’t have enough steps do that knowing they’ll get the deduction and Tukt did do a choctaw so the world is fine for now

    Ohh that’s a part of the rules I didn’t know about. -1 seems appropriate Although she did one of those double choctaw steps so maybe they count as two? It would be a big flaw in the rules if transitions weighed that much that a superior jump like Tukt’s 3Lz ends up in the negatives

    CWW was really such a gift wow

    Ah yes... how could I forget injuries. I’m currently recovering from a broken that happened while skating lol

    Haha you should pick it up. Skating is frustrating sometimes but I really enjoy it. Single jumps are also fun!

    Welcome to the planet!! This is an interesting read that doesn't even talk about adult skaters and only distinguishes between competitive and recreational skaters: http://www.skatingaheadofthecurve.com/TimingOfSkillAcquisition.html Hmm I watch alot of adult skaters on the internet and I rarely see any good doubles that have a tight enough air position. They're usually barely landed by force. Sometimes it's hard to understand because when doubles are done right they look so easy! I think people who do gymnastics or dance, especially ballet, have better chances eg. this guy does a decent 2A in this video and he's an adult skater afaik. (I have this blurry memory of videos of him working on triples but the videos are gone and I'm startng to think I might have imagined them. that account is a bit nsfw, btw.) It just seems like there needs to be a certain body build and awareness that is attained from a young age to be able to have decent doubles, let alone triples. I wouldn't say it's absolutely impossible to land triples as an adult skater with the right genetics and body awareness and, most importanlty, the right coaching but it's extremely rare and difficult. There are no skaters with triple jumps at my FS club even though they all have been skating competitively since they were young because there are no coaches who can train these kids properly. Some of the skaters in the most advanced group only do singles, even. It's so funny because, I , the adult skater who started at 26, do dream of a 2S lol Also, we have an adult skater thread and you're welcome to post there if you skate yourself
