A little quiz to kill time... 

I got Ballade no.1 

 

 

This is so cute! Yes, Yuzu, let the world hear you roar and take your gold!

 

Wow! Yuzu is so popular in China!

 

According to Google Translate, this tweet says: "China Central Television CCTV Official Site Winter Olympic Star Yuzuru Hanyu No. 1 by far."

 

[NEWS]

 

Yes, Max! Keep speaking the truth!

Has anyone posted the NC interview from GQ form today ?

 

Nate says: My strengths come from the elements; my strengths are not the program component scores. But that's not to say that I can't continue improving them. That's what I have been doing.

(if this should go in Team USA please let me know! I thought it has great interest for us as Yuzuru's fans given scoring issues over the years)

 

 

Oy vey...I know that Nathan is smart and means well, but as has been pointed out here and Twitter, his edges are flat. There's been little to no improvement in his skating skills, transitions, or performance/interpretation. Even Vincent has noticeably improved (though I still don't want him to medal for other reasons...). Nathan's programs are literally him skating from one end of the rink to the other setting up jumps and barely interpreting the music, then doing his "breakdown, modern" step sequence at the end. 

 

I agree with Max that there should be no comparison or rivalry in their scores or skating. Yuzu does EVERYTHING. His transitions across his whole program are unmatched and his interpretation has ruined everyone else's skating for me. The scores don't reflect that. However, I will say that it is far more of a problem in women's skating IMO

Imagine this interview now coming back to bite him in the bum when judges suddenly decide to start being fair teehee 

…can we move conversation about Chen into the US thread please?

Imagine landing 4A and clean skates with crazy difficult programs of Rondo and Tenchi "might" not be enough to beat Nathan. 

It hurts that it comes directly from Yuzu's mouth.

Yes, it hurts, but in my eyes Yuzu is the winner no matter what happens in Beijing. It is his determination, immense talent, unique ability to connect with music

and to be so honest about who he really is, which makes him The Ultimate Champion

I think he is beyond any scoring...I mean who would give scores to Beethoven's 9th or da Vinci's  Mona Lisa...

Honestly Yuzu's chance of winning is basically at the mercy of Nathan's failing now with these devil "judges" and "tech specialist". he really cant afford any margin of error. The japanese judge robbed him of 6 pts by invalidating his spin gosh that was horrifying

My kind chinese satellites would you please bring awareness on the chinese platforms about the judging panel? we have a very corrupted panel here with track of bad judgings. is there any chance beijing ioc will take a look? 

How can a judge who is KNOWN to have made a serious mistake by not correctly recognizing one of Yuzu's elements be chosen for Beijing?

Is there any chance this judge may have learned anything or may have received proper training and instructions meanwhile?

Yes of course - could I ask the moderators @Fay @sallycinnamon @yuzuangel to move the posts above from mine 5 hours ago that relate to Nathan's GQ interview and video to the US Team thread? Many thanks and apologies for posting in the wrong thread.

I moved the posts about Chen to the Team USA thread. Please post any news, articles etc in that thread if it's related to him
