Melodie Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Credit: @corszk1220 on Twitter It's interesting to see how different skaters position their arms and hands during jumps. I chuckled at Boyang's Rock-Paper-Scissor and Mikhail's pinky out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he's not actually as tight in the air as some other skaters, tho I bet pulling them in would feel weird though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but IMO this year he has been pulling his arms a lot closer to his torso while jumping. But anyway, based on these photos, Anna, Nate, Wakaba and Mikhail (aside from his pinky LOL) seem to be in one group while Yuzu, Shoma, Satoko and Boyang in the others when it comes to positioning mid-air (although I still have NO idea what is the purpose of doing rock—paper-scissor LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paskud Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Quote The international triathlon competition for the Tokyo Olympics, which was scheduled to be held in Osaka next month, has been canceled due to the effects of the new coronavirus. The cancellation was the Triathlon World Cup, which was scheduled to take place around Osaka Castle Park in Osaka City on the 8th of next month. According to the Japan Triathlon Union, we have been taking measures against the new coronavirus for the tournament, but we cannot meet the conditions for thorough isolation from the general public required by the country at hotels where related parties are staying. As a result, he gave up accepting overseas players and decided to cancel. This tournament was one of the important tournaments to determine the ranking related to the qualifications for the Tokyo Olympics, and 130 men and women from 30 countries were scheduled to participate. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20210405/k10012957991000.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melodie Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Osaka has officially entered SoE. The ISU has previously stated that the conditions for WTT to be held would depend on whether SoE is lifted. I guess we will know what these mean after the ISU meeting scheduled for April 8. PS: It seems Team USA plans to depart on April 11 for Japan.

Sombreuil Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 It’s difficult to see how this could possibly go ahead - SOE is unlikely to last less than two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuzuangel Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 What's the point of having a SOE if foreigners come in without quarantine and perform in an arena *with audience*? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, not even local residents are encouraged to go out for non-essential purposes... Unless this comp is considered essential... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is likely able to turn more than others if he can further tug his arm in (that's what I recall hearing on a Japanese news). I did not notice if he pulled his arms closer this year (I'm not a good observer) but if so, could it be a side effect of 4A training? I kind of just come into Planet multiple time today just to see if there is news of WTT cancellation. They have to decide within these 2 days? And if they continue, how can they allow audience? Right, sucking their money is essential... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, sucking their money is essential... I do believe it is a side effect of training the 4A, but also of the quints (I think we all want to not remember that he has notjust one, but two quintuple jumps in his pockets ). As for his arms, I think there was a video comparing his jumps at 4CC and JNats. Clearly he tucked his arms in a lot tighter at the latter comps. Now, for the cursed event, if we go by the ISU's words then it should be cancelled, what's with SOE and everything. HOWEVER, with more stuff coming out, from promos to plans for live viewing across 36 cities that include Osaka and Tokyo, I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuzurella Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Pre-rotated "3As" with backwards take off... To think that these jumps get high GOEs while Yuzu gets underscored over and over again despite his perfect technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paskud Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I wonder how many not-well-prepared, desperate 3a/quad attempts we will see in ladies next season because of Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet? Double the number we have now, particularly because wrong edges, excessively prerotated jumps and manipulation of evaluation for UR have already become common. In other words, the weather is nice today, just enjoy the circus as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
