June 7, 20188 yr I'm sorry to interfere into the discussion, but it seems I was summoned by @Cerunias and @WinForPooh Credit: https://sportymags.wordpress.com/2015/11/29/yuzuru-hanyu-smashing-world-records/ There is also a bigger version, but I have no credit for it

Want to save more money and time right? There you go.
June 7, 20188 yr Well now that tights are allowed, I'm waiting for a pairs team to skate to a ballet for the long, and the guy to wear the tights. =D
June 7, 20188 yr Still don't think the tights rule is relevant or useful. Ugly stuff. And they could have spent time trying to, you know, think about how dumb removing steps before solo jumps in SPs is.
June 7, 20188 yr Ok wondering, I thought Japan proposed that someone who does all the types of jumps in triples or quads gets some sort of bonus or whatever (bad summary). Did they pass or did they skip it?

Bummer, this would actually perhaps help prop up the quad/triple repetition rule but ISU's cognitive ability is weak so welp.

The new repetition rule reinforces the Zayak rule, and seems to be a compromise of all the various solutions suggested (and interests at stake). I don't dislike it to be honest. The JSF's proposal, if passed, would have served to try to push the sport forward from an athletic point of view (by encouraging skaters to try the harder jumps), but it was more to complement the one-type-of-quad-only rule and provide for some "reward". This latter rule, if passed, I think would limit each athlete's choice and expression, and I think would've been too draconian and prescriptive in my opinion, and so with it having failed to pass, I don't think the JSF's proposal was really needed anyway (not to say that it wouldn't be nice if it was also included in some shape or form, of course).
June 7, 20188 yr I don't understand why there was a rule that men couldn't wear tights at all. I mean... Let everybody wear whatever they want and if it doesn't suit the programme, let that come out of In or something.

Now see Nathan Chen's PCS finally dropping!

Hey, Yuzu's costume choice has always been on point as far as I'm concerned! The only slightly off one was zingerstrawberry, but he did look nice in it at Ciontu so... At least he's original! But not too original (Yellow Turandot coff coff). 10 minutes ago, hoodie axel said: You're almost foolishly optimistic, I guess. Is the all-black costume... balletic?

We may be fans of some of Yuzuru's costumes (although I believe there are certain figures here who may beg to differ). I worry the judges won't share our same...er...ideas/passion Are you sure anyone can trust the judges to mark costume choice??
