yeah I wanted to draw him with the new costume too that's why I removed the previous chopin costume bits from my art and yuzu decides to slap me in the face. ^^;

 btw will this new world record be counted? since it's in a challenger series? 

yes, I'm pretty sure Challenger series counts bc it's ISU sanctioned. there was a discussion a few pages back

CONGRATULATIONS T____T <3 I expect a full Planet Hanyu attendee recap after everything is over omfg

 

 

Too bad the spectators could not sleep overnight in the arena, lol... then they would stay to the very end of the competition... and save on hotel fees, lol.

If Yuzu had not been so intent on practicing the 4Lo at Skate Canada last season, it's very likely he would have beaten Patrick. That's what Brian said and I think it's a reasonable assumption. 

Right, and Yuzu said that he didn't care about beating Patrick/winning SC, and it was a good, mature decision

Why do they need to line up for it the night before? Don't they have all event tickets that would get the ticket holders into the practices? 

 

For good seats.

Not to make assumptions on who exactly is lining up but this is super normal in Asian fandom of any kind tbh. Same with people putting notices on seats, leaving for a while and coming back later.

If anything maybe a bad practice was just because of fatigue due to lack of training, as he skipped practice for several days, not because of his knee. Of course it's very rare for him to mess all jumps in a run through, it's still possible he will do perfect in competition.

It's possible that he's consciously changed the way he approaches practices now, relaxing more and not trying to be so perfect when it doesn't count.

 

these are...hilariously unfortunate stills

wasn't it Brian who said in an interview that he used to always skate like he needed to prove something? maybe he's finally learned that he can let go a bit and own the performance where it counts

I hope so. It's only the SP of the first competition, so we still have quite a whiles to go...but I hope so.
