Especially since the tickets were free! after all this battle over NHK and GPF.... 

 

And here a lot of us were dismissing 4CC.. I guess this is what we get for ignoring that com 

The 4cc is in the US this time? 

Taiwan?

No it's in Taipei in late January.... (22 - 27th....cutting it close. Might be too risky. It'll probably come down to his condition and how he does at Nationals)

it's risky because it's so close to the Olympics... but are there any other challenger things before that? (I think there were... Yuna did right? I'm seeing some scary parallels between her pre-Sochi season and Yuzu's...what if that means he'll do 2 clean skates tho)

 

Breaking the silver curse there may be a motivation booster

There are lots of senior Bs, so if he wanted to do one, something like Golden Spin would work...

Do we know who else is going.. ?

 Like what Yuna did in 2014

 

So I was wondering is there a way to give Yuzu his "pooh-rain", even if he is not competing.

If the people who are at the event could be able to give Yuzu their pooh with a well wishing card, then he could still feel the support from all of us.

I don't know if the organizers would allow this but it would be nice to find out.

 

To the fans at the arena good luck and support each other.

did Yuna do GPF? is this a parallel thing 

@MrPudding: Yuna also had a right foot injury and so didn't participate in GP series apparently

 

Yeah, Challenger B might be better. Timeframe of 4CC is too risky. Though without high level competitors....idk how he'll be. In a way, I'm glad he has Shoma at Nationals to get him in that competition frame of mind. Now to hope he makes it safely there.

What is this I'm hearing 

Okay. So. Zuzu can get revenge for Yuna at Sochi. Yup. I'm believing it like that....

Yeah, a fracture.

She sat out the entire GP circuit and skated in Sochi with it.

 

But Yuna and Yuzu are very different types of people.

I felt it was time to have a thread dedicated to other Challenger events outside of ACI and I couldn't find one, so I'm starting this one.

Feel free to discuss events here and I'll link to specific event threads if they exist and stream threads if and when they're opened. 

Note: The thread has also been expanded to include other small competitions of the season outside of the Challenger Series.
