Not jumping face but can someone explain this photo to me?

Count Dracula FS?

Han Yan is an opera singer!

bye bye it was nice talking on the general thread but it's time for a change

YES please! Also LOL, your ava perfectly describes how Yuzu feels about these coming Olympics.

Javi is very scared of all these jumping faces...

MURDERFACE!

I googled "Nathan Chen 4cc". Find the intruder.

He looks like his name just got written on the Death Note

Yeah, the scariest thing is that you know that Yuzuru READS those score sheets. I don't know if he reads other skater's, but he sure as hell reads his own. And he knows EXACTLY if he deserves that, or more. And he will never complain with himself about the unfairness of it, he will always push himself and say "I will do even better next time so they won't be able to deny me", a la Helsinki.

(sorry I just had this stuck in my head)

All right. All right. You win

I wouldn't say that Boyang is underscored as much as I would say that other people are overscored and so it looks like he gets a different treatment. A little bit like Yuzuru. Following this logic, the closest skater to become Yuzuru's dignified heir is Boyang! Same unfair treatment from the judges.

Aaaah I love this program so much! Boyang's jumps are a thing of beauty, and his character too. He's got a lot to improve in terms of whole body movements, especially the upper body, imo. I feel he's too stiff most of the time. (also, am I the only one that gets annoyed when the commentators say that no one can beat his technical score... when in reality the technical score record doesn't belong to him and certainly isn't 57 points?)

Extremely cute potato! Really, my nickname growing up has always been potato, so I said it with the utmost affection for him Patrick is actually a pretty handsome man, although I'd rather he grew his hair a little more, a la 2012...

Glasses + smart boi smirk = the death of me NATHAN SUCH A CUTIE PATOOTIE GNEGNEGNE okay I'm done. Shoma kinda has a potato face. I can say it because I also have a potato face. So I guess he looks too much like me to make my heart go tokidoki We could be brother and sister! I love this conversations btw hahahha

I didn't quite like Nathan either before Worlds... then I saw him walking outside the Arena in Helsinki... smol... fluffy hair... cute smile... instant crush. BAM.

But the number one rank will still be the same, I hope...

When in doubt, ask youself: who does the prettiest quads? Okay then, here goes: 1) Yuzuru Hanyu (wow much surprise very strange) 2) Nathan Chen 3) Javier Fernandez 4) Boyang Jin 5) Patrick Chan 6) Shoma Uno

You missed number 3 but being Nathan the only one missing...

My rank is ready

Actually, at the beginning I thought the same thing about Yuzu... when I watched his performances for the first time, I thought "Well, yeah, he's cute, but not so handsome after all!" HOW WRONG WAS I... (Although it took me like a couple of days to change my mind. If I'm ever going to be affected by crush-feels towards Boyang, I know they will be much more toned down, lol!)

4CC was a pearl, wasn't it? Even Max Ambesi complained about the unfairness of the scores thrown around like candy crush in that case. Some judges gave Nathan higher SS than Yuzuru. In any case, one can only hope in something different for the future. (I guess though, if they don't change the judges, or the judges' mentality, there's no point in changing the GOE's from 3 to 5 really)

I never thought Boyang could have any aesthetic appeal from my part but @sublimeskating's ava is making me think twice about it...

Yep, sorry, with 'cheated technique' I just meant calling edge calls, unclear edges and URs. I guess my vocabulary can improve a little, hehe. I can't wait to see how Yuzu's 4Lz will be judged, though. I mean, it depends on how Yuzu pulls it off, of course, but the one we've seen at WTT (landing aside) was technically correct, high and big. Also, if he's considering adding it, it means he knows he can get good GOE. Maybe he even knows he could get 3 GOE, because you don't get more perfectionist than Yuzu.
