But I agree with @yuzuangel, unless the ISU itself is changed, technologies, no matter how advanced and people, no matter how dedicated, won’t change anything Edit: actually, the rest of PCS can be quantified too, albeit some less than others (so will still need the human factor, but bias can be reduced). Maybe unpopular opinion but interpretation, composition, and performance should be abolished as PCS categories. Yes, we care about skaters having enjoyable programs, but we all have different opinions. Judges have never used those categories to anyone's satisfaction, so they should just be abolished. Skaters who want to put care and effort into their programs will be rewarded with fans and popularity and viral videos on social media -- it's not like being criminally underscored in PCS has prevented someone like Satoko Miyahara from putting out extremely polished and beautiful programs.

I don't think PCS should be abolished, but it should be rearranged and redefined. SS, for instance, is as technical as the jumps, so it should be considered as a part of the TES. And within TES, too much importance is placed on the jumps, not enough attention is geared towards the StSq, and ChSq is STILL there. I honestly don't understand the point of regarding the choreo sequence as a TES element, it should be merged into PCS's PE. Anyway, the way the PCS is right now, and has been for a very long time, is NOT it. Link to comment

Lynn487 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Does anyone know if these are re-runs or new content... or maybe a bit of both? This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS]. Link to comment

These are repeats of WTT, but don't know if they are longer versions or not. On regular TV, they only showed 4-5 skaters, but on the paid channel, they showed all of them. Link to comment
Ladysci Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 News (?) TV schedule for SOI 2021 On TBS 2 [a CS (Communication's Satellite) channel of SkyPerfect TV in Japan, but can be accessed by iSakura and other services that allow viewers to watch Japanese TV outside of Japan]. Times listed are Japan time. 23 Apr (Fri) Yokohama (live) CS TBS 2: 1:55-5:00 pm Will be repeated as a taped show: 8 May (9 pm - 12 am) 24 Apr (Sat) Yokohama (live) CS TBS 2: 12:55 - 4:00 Will be repeated as a taped show: 8 May (12-3 am) 30 Apr (Fri) Hachinoe (live) Special broadcast of the last show, which will include backstage scenes CS TBS 2: 1:10-4:15 Will be repeated as a taped show: 30 May (12 am - 4:00 am) Other shows: Live streaming on 25 April (Sun), not free, must get ticket on ticket PIA; probably just in Japan TBS (Kanto area only, regular TV): 26 Apr (Mon), 1:23-2:23 (doesn't look right to be because of the short duration, maybe just a highlight? Don't know if it's am or pm) Didn't know where to put this, but if there is eventually an SOI 2021 thread, would one of the kind administrators put it over there or make a copy and put this over there.

amylance1215 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 How to spot smiling Yuzu even with a mask, you look at his scrunchy eyes Even countries with no figure skating presence appreciate Yuzu and his accomplishments. I remember seeing an article about Yuzu in Vietnamese too. Our boy is Mr. International This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS]. Link to comment
Guest Mary_kyo Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 This seems like an interesting analysis, even by Google Translate standard LOL (sorry if this was shared) >> 'The "relatively good" jump taught by Yuzuru Hanyu was a "pretty good" jump, so I was convinced that the dream of a quadruple accelerator would soon come true': http://blog.livedoor.jp/vitaminw/archives/53385694.html The ending part though: "It's not a dream story, it's near."

amylance1215 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Sendai ice rink installed antibacterial doormat and antibacterial coatings on railings, changing rooms, lounges, benches and toilets. Now Yuzu can practice in a safer environment Although I do hope he could return to team Cricket sometimes Yuzu's FaOI paperdoll Link to comment
