[2018] Olympic Games Men Free Skating

February 17, 20188 yr

ashley is embarrassing. actively and publicly rooting against him (again, i haven't forgotten skate america 2016 ashley xoxo) is just low.

boyang is 100x the skater she ever was, and ever will be. i'm so proud of him and i'm really excited to see where he goes next. his competitive mindset is wonderful, his work ethic, his self awareness. 2022 is his.

shoma said that its not quantity but quality today, so i think he's in the right direction!

I do want to see him do a programme he chooses and relates to, as well. He does have musicality, but he doesn't have that much connection to his music now because it's just... Well, it's him doing what he's supposed to do, but not particularly something he feels in his bones, every element of it. If he really wants to be as good as Yuzu, he'll need to develop that ownership of everything, I suppose. Then we might see more than woke-up-and-totally-intense-now Shoma during programmes. He could probably do it if he wanted to and trusted himself to take that risk.

Again, this mysterious reference to the 'sleep' phenomenon.

Earthlings are strange.

We aliens are here to worship at the altar of our Lord Trollzuru, The Greatest to Ever Glide on Ice.

I genuinely believe Boyang will surpass the others. He GETS IT. That’s my entire issue with Nathan and Vincent. They don’t get it. Seems like Shoma gets it too but his technique may give him trouble.

If Yuzu isn't at the next olympics, I'll have my eye on Cha and Boyang. Junhwan's programme today was really lovely. He felt it and he made me feel it. Boyang's improvement is remarkable. Shoma could be that good if he fixed his jumps, so I hope he will now that this is over.

I would love for Nathan to win me over with his skating but he hasn't come close to that yet. I'm still not convinced that he is really passionate about skating as opposed to just doing it because he happens to be good at it.

But Boyang is different. I do see passion there and I've become quite fond of him.

[and all similar]

Can I just say that I love the fact that so many Yuzu's fans seem to be fond of Boyang and Junhwan? To me, that really says something about how much potential they have :tumblr_inline_mp4i2vHXDy1qz4rgp:

I've been awake since 2 am and am staying awake... for the rest of the day (it's now 9.30 am), probably, unless my migraine gets worse again (in which case I'll dope myself on painkillers and fall asleep no matter what I do). I'm too hyped to sleep now.
