Hello, TV program called "Kataritei" was aired last night and a current ISU judge Yukiko Okabe talked about the rule change of the next season and it was interesting.

 



・Marking GOE in 11 grades from -5 to +5, the reason for this was there were the voices they wanted to mark more than +3. And in Ms. Okabe's opinion, 4S in SEIMEI of the Olympics would be graded as GOE +5 in new rule as well.

・The length of Men's FS was decided to be 4 minutes from now of 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Japan was opposed to this idea (the opinions of the coaches and teachers were the last 30 seconds of the program was very important to show the judges what the skaters were capable of doing to win), but other countries wanted the elements of the program be condensed in 4 minutes and to make the time length equal to the ladies' FS, and the major reason was said to be they wanted to make the time length of the whole competition shorter.

 

Also it was funny that Honda said 15 points for 4A was not enough, it should have 20 :laughing:

And in the comments, Jim Parsons (Sheldon from TBBT) says: "seriously - just watched his exhibition skate - EXHIBITION! - and it was chilling. his relationship to the ice, to the music... it’s simply inspirational."

 

Edit: Ignore the comment section otherwise; it's full of YOI shippers and the amount of Victurii being thrown in them is giving me a seizure.

Someone already translated it fully from Ru to English I saw it somewhere in this thread.

But here my full translation from Ru to Eng that I did for Yuzu's International group in facebook:

Honestly speaking I don't really like Evgeniy Plushenko, I was Alexei Yagudin's girl. Also, Evgeniy unfortunately had and has a huge crown on his head, yes, well-deserved, he was an exceptional athlete and talent, but sometimes it's really annoying (It was annoying for me in the parts of this article too). I said it like fellow Russian so... 
But in this article, he showered Yuzu with praises, so I can't help it and translated it from Russian to English. Also, Yuzu is a hard fan of Evgeniy so... 
It was really hard bcs he spoke really informal and used many Russian common slang that quite hard to translate to English, so I tried to find and use similar English slang. If you will have some corrections I'm happy to use them. Evgeniy has a personal column in the online edition of Russian Sports Express. The link to the full article in the end. I translated only parts when he speaks abt Yuzu. He wrote it on 18th of February, 2018. In () - my explanations.

YOU NEED TO BE KILLER ON THE ICE.
I already said it three years ago in an interview, that more than anyone in current men's single figure skating I like Yuzuru Hanyu. He is the man, who can do everything on the ice.
And nothing changes after that time. Only now to his title of Olympic Champion adds one thing – Two-times (Olympic champion)!
He was favorite in Pyeongchang from the beginning. There was only one question – Did his ankle manage to heal? From the moment he returned to the ice, his practices in Canada were under absolute secrecy. They didn't allow anybody to skating ring, hide Yuzuru from watching eyes. No one knew anything about his current condition. But Olympics shows – skater had a full recovery. He demonstrated terrific skating and deservedly won. 
Aside from that Hanyu is unbelievably talented, He is also a true fighter. Although he wasn't like that from the beginning. Before if he fails to perform some elements he gave up. Even in competitions rarely was like that. After fall he didn't get up right there but sat on the ice for 1-2 seconds. Now it's not like that at all. Well done, he made the conclusions.
We met when Yuzuru was 10 years old. I'm, for a long time, always spent every summer in Japan, skating in the shows. He went to our performances, training sessions. Remember how He asked: «I'm learning Quadro-lutz. Can you see it, please». I advised him something (for his lutz)…
Sportsmen, who achieve big success, often became arrogant. But Yuzuru doesn't have a crown on his head. He is a wonderful guy. Modest, open. From simple family, absolutely not spoiled. I was speaking with his parents – very nice people. Also modest like their son.
He is working his ass off. He is so concentrated on figure skating that from year to year all his days go by one route: practice – home. A step to the side not included at all. Fanat! Unfortunately, our guys don't have that obsession, they slack off. And disciplined Yuzuru doesn't allow himself nothing redundant. Strictly goes by his daily routines, watching what he eats. He is 23 and never tries alcohol, can you imagine that?! Kefir, weights – and go on (Kefir is a fermented milk drink-it's good for health and REALLY popular in Russia, but I don't think it's popular in Japan. I think he wanted to say, that Yuzuru lives really healthy life). 
I saw how he works hard even in practice, even in time of Gala exhibition. By the way, Japanese, including Hanyu and Americans always do Quadros there. They don't do triples, they already know how to do it, but learning new, Quadros in the show! And for them its a common thing for a long time. It's so good that Hanyu shatters the stereotypes. Usually, when figure skaters win the Olympics – they finish their career. Run to make money in different kinds of shows. And he after Sochi stays. Skates for 4 years at the highest level, and again take gold in Pyeongchang. And now, as far as I know, he doesn’t want to resign. Gorgeous!
I believe that Yuzuru can win next Olympics in Beijing. I'm sure he has enough motivation and energy. Became a triple (Olympic champion) – isn't an incentive? It's so cool! I'm myself went through 4 Olympics. Oh, I wanted to tear all them apart! Win again and again! Hanyu also is that kind of guy. He has some serious backbone.
And the most important – He is only 23 years old. For male figure skater – it's his prime. He has a colossal reserve, he has 5 Quadros in his sleeve. I was amazed when on show in Japan almost in full darkness he calmly goes for Quadro Rittberger (loop). Without any flaw! Quadro T and S for Yuzuru is easy-peasy. I saw myself he tried unique cascade 4+4 – it was double T. He is also learning 4.5 jumps.
And pay attention to the quality of his jumps. He is slender, spinning goes out thin, no trembling. And spinnings? With good speed, with difficult positions, no displacement at all. Step sequences light, interesting. Many figure skaters at the end of their program just skate (He means that usually, skaters don't have enough strength to keep the speed until the end of their program). And Yuzuru ends it with the same speed that the beginning. And sometimes he adds (speed)! He just flying on the ice!

Then he talks abt how Japanese learned from Russians and how they invest in figure skating.

What Yuzu and Ayumu Hirano have in common is that they have quadruple jumps as a weapon. And when they sat together, Yuzu started talking to him, asking lots of questions, like he usually does, about jumpin in snowboarding and what halfpipe is like and can he do quintuples or quad and a half? :P (Someone else might do a better translation earlier)

Another translation about the upcoming Ice Show

A brief overview of Continues ~with Wings~
http://www.continueswithwings.com/

 

Date: April 13-15, 2018


Venue: Musashino-no-Mori Sogo Sports Plaza

http://www.musamori-plaza.com/


Ticket: 
Presale --- From March 17 12:00 until March 20 23:59 (JST)/
General release --- from April 1, 10:00 (JST)


Skaters: TBA

 

As Jardin translated he won't skate since he will still be undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. However, the guest skaters are those who had influenced and pass something on to him, so the show in a way would be a treat for him since usually, he doesn't have much time to enjoy other skaters' performances during a show.

 

TV Asahi seems to be a co-producer of the show, so chances are that one of the shows will be aired by them.

Message from Yuzu on CWW website:

 

The guest skaters are those who have influenced me while I develop as a skater, and those who have passed various things on to me, not just the influences.

 

Appreciation towards such bonds with people.
No one can achieve anything alone, everyone lives because of some kind of bonds with others.
Inheriting things and passing them on through skating.

 

I hope you will enjoy the performances of the greatest skaters and feel the "inheritance".

I love the way they put a photo of him skating Hope and Legacy under this message.
