Katt Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I think WC is gonna be exciting, when we finally see reigning Olympic champ, WC/GPF champ, 4CC champ at the same comp. Link to comment
SparkleSalad Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 2 hours ago, KatjaThera said: Well, to be fair, Helsinki FS was not a great free, especially by Yuzu's standards, so it's actually kind of ridiculous it lasted this long (ridiculous for the other top men skaters, I mean, that they couldn't beat it).ETA: And then, if you remember that Yuzu also got an UR call that was at least questionable - especially when others get overlooked all the time - that makes it even more so. But I also didn't watch Shoma, so no idea how good that was Re: Shoma IMO his best interpretation yet. Very beautiful and touching skate, though I hate to think it was likely because of his injury. 1 hour ago, TallyT said: Did I read correctly that both the US and Japan will have no judges in the men's there? That’s right. No Russian, either, iirc. Link to comment
SuperMin Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 4CC made me miss Yuzu even more. Link to comment

According to this tweet the judging panel for the men's event at Worlds looks as follows: CAN CHN TPE CRO CZE FRA GEO ISR MEX POL ESP SUI TUR I don't know, who will be sitting in the technical panel. Looking at 4CC and all the questionable calls... this seems to be not less important... Link to comment

I think the same, but I also think that what made it so touching was that Shoma finally is letting us all see how much he really wants to win. I feel like he's matured a lot this year. It's as if he's finally made up his own mind about why he's competing and what his goals are. But at the same time, I don't want him to change too much. His calm attitude is part of his charm.

From the moment he arrived to Korea he had that aura, confidence, determination and on top of that he looked so happy being back to competition And the day when he arrived to Korea was already a year ago Link to comment
Sombreuil Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 God that takes me back - Kohei at Worlds and not long after Yuzuru at NHK - same injury, same foot..... Link to comment

TallyT Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Oh god those sleeves... I want Japan to NOT be outdone by the Koreans and provide an honour guard of big burly protectors too. Just because it will annoy the critics Doesn't seem like a year ago, does it? Link to comment
EisElle Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 LOL Tracy and Javi in that arrival clip aaaah time to go back and re-read some old threads...it feels impossible it's already been a year.... a year ago history stilll had to be made at OWG and Yuzuru hasn't said he had grabbed happyness and CiONTU didn't exist and we didn't know about Haru Yo Koi and Dori and Otonal and Origin and THE COMEBACK OF LGC HAIR so many truly amazing things have happened... and then Winter came and we're waiting for Spring again Anyway are we having a streaming party for OWG? though I might be travelling this week noooo I want to stream everything sob sob sob Link to comment
utsukushii3A Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Wow, I can't believe it was less than a year ago that I was still a fairly casual fan and hadn't skated in over a decade. I mean, Yuzu was definitely my unequivocal favorite, but I hadn't laid eyes on him in almost four years! I'd never hydrobladed! I didn't even know what a cross roll was! I could still stand to wear tops that were four inches too big in the waist! And things were just... overall duller and less sparkly. Time sure flies. Link to comment
