i might actually go broke bidding on such an auction 

 

after selling everything i own and living on the streets, not sure he'd want to kiss my cheek 

 

lol i bet it'll be a rich auntie who wins it hahahaha

 

 

 

Fictional auction, I just said, they should do this ^^;

 

And too bad I wouldn't be that auntie.

 

Though I guess I'd dislike it more if it'd be some young - not now - Paris Hilton style rich bitch who'd think she was entitled to mose.

Just woke up from an attempted sleeping. I was dreaming of Yuzu. Which never happened before, so that's a  buuuut, murky details; the only thing I can remember, the one that woke me up quite rudely, is that he is skating his FS to Frozen's Let It Go. I... just...

*knock on wood

Nvm me... keep scrolling. 

 

Reminds me a bit of my own dream (posted over in random thought theater)...

It's Ravel's Bolero, kinda remixed.

You know what the weird part is? Japanese people use it all the time, I swear, in every tv show, in every occasion, even in movies. I don't know what their obsession with this piece is all about, maybe it's because it's very hypnotizing and it has conquered the nation's heart. But it's true that it's a wonderful piece which builds tension endlessly. 

 

There are a few like this, Bolero is one, Ode to Joy another and of course Auld Long Syne. 

 

Bolero I think is objectively speaking way overused in figure skating as well, but from my own subjective point of view, I actually wouldn't mind a competition in which every single skater or pair would skate to that and watch their different interpretations. 

 

Just because.

Give him gold, give him gold
And he'll rise like the break of dawn
Give him gold, give him gold
The perfect skater was born

Watch him skate

On the ice rink there

Let Brian rage

The 4A never bothered him anyway

I'm horrible at this, sorry

I might second you on this! (Ode to Joy remixed... it shocked me the first time I heard it! Plus, Yuzu was lip synching... I wonder if he was lip synching the real german lyrics!)

Spoiler

The ice glows white on the rink tonight
Not a blade track to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like i'm the King.

The wind is howling like this swirling quad inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows i tried

Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good boy you always have to be
Conceal, don't land, don't let them know
Well, now they know!

Give me gold, give me gold
Can't hold it back anymore
Give me gold, give me gold
Back counter and land the jump!

I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the Poohs rain on,
The 4A never bothered me anyway!

It's funny how the SP
Makes everyone worry
But the rivals that once chased me
Can't get to me at all!

It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!

Give me gold, give me gold
I am one with the quads
Give me gold, give me gold
You'll always see me land!

Here I skate
And here I'll win
Let the Poohs rain on!

My axel flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes with an icy blast
I'm never going back,
Triples are in the past!

Give me gold, give me gold
And l'll rise like the break of dawn
Give me gold, give me gold
The perfect skater was born

This is the reason why IMO I think him having a performance he is proud of is more important than winning. His performance is in his control while the scores are not.

 

The beautiful thing about this sport, far as I can tell, and especially if you are as undeniably masterful at it as he is, is you can control the scores you get somewhat. Maybe not down to the decimal, but you can definitely narrow down the range you aim to get and actually land within it. For someone like Hanyu, probably even beyond it. But this is possible only, and only, if you are able to build the momentum for it by having relatively clean skates in most of the important competitions, which also leads to being able to skate later in the FS where points are given more generously. So if you can control the way you perform, you control your scores. Medvedeva and to a degree, even Uno, are the most recent proof of that. It's really just the scores of others you can't help.

 

Wanting badly to win itself doesn't serve as a distraction, I don't think. In fact, wanting to be the one to have your country's flag in the middle and its national anthem broadcasted is a very effective motivator, which I reckon is likely because the want isn't borne out of individualistic desire.The Olympic gold itself, however, is, and as such usually serves as more of a derailment with its tantalizing and elusive bling in the mind's eye...like a materialistic and rather superficial reward. So I really, really hope all the experience he's had and the fact that he already has one in the bag will help prevent him from falling prey to being caught off guard by the shiny again (especially worrying since we all know how much he loves them shinies xD).
