xeyra Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 BTW, that Shin Amano quote is part of an article that is being translated (not sure by whom, maybe @gladi? Someone else?). I'm sure it'll be linked here in full. Link to comment

I just remember some hate directed towards him regarding Mao. Don't think he can judge the men's events though, due to him being a past coach of Patrick Chan, right? Expand Yes. He gets a LOT of hate from Mao fans because of his UR calls for her 3A. He only coached Patrick for about 6 months though and had a conflict of interest in judging men's events during 2011-2013 season (I think) because he choreographed for Peter Liebers. So, he's now free to wreck havoc in the men's field... Link to comment

Take a look at the protocols. Carrots abound and wrong edges called. ETA: Carrots = FS lingo for URs Expand Gosh, < and e everywhere on those protocols! I dunno much about him, is he considered fair or overly strict??? Link to comment
SSS Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Such a strict judge said good thing about Yuzu's skating skill If he judges men, no harm to Yuzu... Link to comment

He's only overly strict compared to other tech panels who let obvious technical issues pass. For example, he might not have let Kaetlyn's flutz at ACI or Wakaba's UR in her 3T at Lombardia pass.

Reminds me of that one food critic from Ratatouille Expand He might not make it to Olympics tech panel, unless the ISU and IOC really wants to impound people. But I can totally see him in GPF. He is also not too friendly with Japanese skaters, so Japan loses home field advantage if he judges in a Japanese comp. Although to be fair, he gained his "strict" reputation due to judging the ladies field during an era where admittedly UR and edge issues were common (he wasn't the only judge to call them besides). So it is possible that he's stricter than the recent tech panels (or recent tech panels are too lenient), but not the harshest by far. I also think the men's field is a tad less tech error prone compared to the ladies field, so he might give less edge calls (though UR is still an issue in men's too). Honestly I wouldn't mind him as my coach-if he says my technique is clean, I'd probably never need to worry about my technique right? Link to comment

Skating skills has been the one area that the anti-Hanyu fans have successfully used against him, negatively comparing his skills to Chan's.

Valkyria Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I would be very okay with Shin Amano in a Men's tech panel. At least he's consistent across the field, which is my biggest pet peeve with judging in general. Link to comment

ETA And still we will probably have a chance to see LGC and Notte Stellata EXs this season. Link to comment
