kaeryth Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Strategy talk again! Patrick: After looking at PChan's SP and FS layout, right now, I think the 4F might not be a go (of course it's still early and we don't know how training is going). Here's why I think so... Right now, while his chances to podium at Pyeongchang aren't 0, with a significantly lower BV than the rest of the top 6 men, he would have to be absolutely clean - something that I'm not expecting from any of the men given the VERY early schedule for the men's competition. Meanwhile, if you look at the team event, Canada seems to have the best chance right now of taking team Gold - provided Patrick skates both for the SP and FS but that would prolly leave him tired for the individual competitions. Shoma: I haven't seen the 4S but I'm hoping he'll bring this one instead of the Lutz mainly because he seems to have less technical issues with his edge jump compared to his toe jumps. But then again, it's one video (that I can't seem to watch). What he'll end up doing will probably depend on what others are doing because he seems to be a bit reactive when it comes to strategies. /Am I the only one a bit creeped out with the livestream of Shoma's practice that Glacier posts? Feels a bit... stalkerish or voyeuristic/ No new news from the other top 6 men. /Nathan please announce your program - thanks!/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Question, what time slot are the men skating at? I recall someone posted the exact schedule, but I thought the men were skating at 2 or 3 pm? Also find the live stream a bit much....it already led to enough fights already, chiefly involving one particular troll.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more likely to be his first OGM. And I agree about Shoma. It seems a little hasty to be adding 4Lz when his edges are not fixed yet. I want to know Boyang's FS as well...why so secretive?

I'd look forward seeing this new quad finding it's place into his programs next season. His strength clearly are his edge jumps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't skate with energy in his body. He should eat something in the morning, soon, when he wakes up, and then maybe he can drink the energy drink a couple of hours before skating. The kind of energy drink that actually contains calories and not only vitamins. Well, I don't think I should worry though. He gets the help from nutritionists so I have no doubt he will eat something that morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant more those sports liquid meal supplements really that are truly a mix of all sorts of things (protein and carbohydrate, fat and fibre, depending on what you use/need) but yes, he has his own team so am sure they'll work it out!

Yeah, and men's events in Helsinki was already early, so will be men's competition at CoR, so I think Yuzu will know what's best for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sometimes I get paranoid about him getting fed enough but those kind of drinks would be perfect! Gives energy and it's quite easy to digest. With anxiety, and kind of food can become a problem and cause an upset stomach... especially fruit, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the easy to digest part is what I was first thinking of there. I know an athlete who swears by them for that reason, it is super easy on the stomach, there's no feeling of fullness or heaviness, yet you get all you need. I just call them energy drinks because I am lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
