That's how i interpreted it but i wondered if i wasn't stretching the meaning too much haha, thank you!

And no, i looked for something in text format but that's the only thing i could find 

 

Also remember, in Japanese things supposed to be understood are rarely said, so just saying "試験" your supposed to interfere the rest. 

 

Since you did, you passed Japanese Socialisation 202.  

 

Actually, re translation, those are standard power stones, I'm sure they are explained on English or Spanish speaking sites about those.

Still, i was a bit confused  haha

Hm... i know but, i guess a lot of sites list different things? I'm not sure if the description on that image and the one on other english sites might match

Confused what about?

 

And properties of power stones are universal, so descriptions should be the same.

 

But if you can wait for the weekend, I could probably get info what a good English site would be.

Hm, i should look for that, but probably after i'm out of the office

You can always run your interpretations by me, if you like. 

 

I'm not a hard core specialist, but as popular as that stuff is, I should know the general things.

So was anyone here a fan of Yuzu since Sochi 2014? I became a fan after the Olympics so I need advice from those who experienced the olympic season. The anxiety I get is too much reading about 4 Lutz and more combo, 10 pairs of skating boots and maybe 5/6 quads, training 4 Flip like a beast, training and perfecting 4 Loop, better skating skills and more quads... and all we get for Yuzu is that we know he is training hard and that nothing is concrete yet... I mean.. I like that Yuzu is on the low radar so he can focus but at the same time reading about the other skater's preparation is really hard..

And since its the Olympics I know that every skater will go all out to fight for it but the stress and anxiety is too much. Maybe anyone of those who were fans of previous olympics like from Torino or Vancouver could help. How did you guys survive this!

Well, I'm a fan since 2011-2012 season  I was a casual FS fan for a very long time but since that season I became a fan of one cute Romeo  Sochi Olympics was very different. It felt like Yuzu was on the rise and judges gave him pretty good scores. Still he couldn't beat clean Patrick, but Patrick always was very unstable (and was already clean that season at TEB). After SP I was obviously happy, it felt like even with a planned fall (4S that two years) Yuzu could win even with a good skate from Patrick. In FS after Yuzu's mistake on 3F I wanted to close my eyes but still watched how he fought till the end. I remember I messaged my friend smth. like "OK, not this time, but still loooove him"  and then during Patrick's skate I was more and more like I had mixed feelings in the end: not good free skate but happy Yuzu on the podium made up to it big time 

But now Sochi seems like too far away... Yuzu now is a favorite in most peoples eyes and it's not only between him and Patrick, there's 4 more top contenders.Needless to say I became even more invested in his skating (and personality) since 2014. So we all will need a big group  during this season))) Knowing you're not the only crazy worried one helps a little)))

As Danibellerika also said, knowing that he already has OGM brings some comfort, because no one can take away that from him. At the the same time, because I know how much he wants to do his very best in PyeongChang + also because this season will be the peak of the last four years in many ways + other reasons as well, this coming months will be the most exiciting figure skating experience of my life  

Same here! It's good that Yuzu already has his OGM, but we all know how much he wants the second one, how much he works for it, how hard these last seasons been for him. Ice is slippery but I know in my eyes he will be the best no matter what. For now I just can pray for him to stay healthy both physically and mentally and belive that he can do it

And he's planning to r**** after Olympics to pursue medicine so he really got nothing to lose.. People are saying Yuzu should watch out for Shoma but I still think they should watch out for Nathan.. Plus the politics being played here..

What strikes me the most in Shoma is that he can have a pretty bad practice and then skate almost clean in competition. Of course Oly is Oly but stil. And me must not forget Javi and how the judges love him...

I think a 4 different quad program with two 3Ts is a more realistic idea, with the possibility of changing the 3A1Lo3S into a 4T1Lo3S if he needs a 5th quad, in case Nathan goes for 7 quads. But I *think* a 4Lz 4Lo 3F // 4S3T 4T 3A3T 3A1Lo3S 3Lz can be very competitive against Nathan's proposed 2x4Lz 2x4F 6-quad layout at Worlds (109ish against 115ish BV) due to GOEs and PCS, and against Shoma if he also brings a 4Lz. Might not be against a 7-quad layout, if Nathan survives training such a thing. But that's why adding a different quad gives so much flexibility, because in that case one could replace a 3T for a quad. 

I second this. With 4 different quad program and two great 3A's you can have two 3T(3S) combos and you can YOLO smth. if needed so the 5th quad (4T or 4S) will not add you too much BV. But that's just my thinking... Anyway at first 4Lz must behave in practice

So this morning I wake up and do my routine, re-watching yuzu H&L in Helsinki. I ended up to watch this video Joe Hisaishi - View of Silence. I know H&L is beautiful, but oh my God, to listen and watching the full pieces of music 'View of Silence' got me in tears! It was beautiful.. 

I think I will continue to do my routine, to watch H&L every morning. Until yuzu announces his new FP this season... (Well, I hope it's new)

So basically Made in China vs Made in Germany (in terms of mass produced items)?

 

A quick-fix vs a permanent one?

 

A short-cut through the freeway vs the scenic route filled with poetic and natural wonders? 

 

The hare vs the tortoise?

 

>.<

I hesitate to say one is more valuable over another in this context. At the end of the day, the end point is the goal, for a competitive sport. The person with the most points wins, that's the hard and simple truth. I can't bring myself to fault a strategy like Nathan's as much as I don't enjoy it - go in, take advantage your strengths, get the job done. And if he's planning to r**** afterwards, he'll be more dangerous as he's not after longevity. At the end of the day, you can let people argue their interpretations about your lack of artistry - you can't argue with the BV of a landed quad and that's what they're betting on; there's a security in that that simply doesn't exist in the performance component. There aren't as many skaters (hell, not many people) that share Yuzu's tunnel vision focus on how he wins, and not merely on how to win, and his resolve to not focus only on playing the technicalities game. I wish I could say it will ultimately pay off but ultimately, it's a gamble on something that can only be felt. Maybe it will be the thing that makes the difference when we start to talk about legacies, though hopefully not for many years. Can only hope the judges recognise this (and maybe that he leaves himself enough room to #YOLO if needed).

The more I listen to these original versions of Yuzu's songs (and hear the parts they inserted or reworked), the more I'm thankful he's gone with custom music these last two seasons and hoping he will go the unconventional route this Olympics. There's something so special about carving out your own niche and style, to skate to music customised to you
