I can see Yuzuru Hanyu from my house, skating in European rinks, but I cannot reach him alas, because I am poor. I am a little sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe is a lucky place for him, so I hope everything will be okay with going to Finland and Russia and he'll enjoy these competitions and will have fun and success there. Good luck Yuzu! They should send him a special invitation for Europeans too xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I got why he goes to Cup of Russia... kuyashii silver from last year. He's getting his CoR gold back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I don’t believe Yuzuru Hanyu’s not getting NHK Trophy.... wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcefield Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I know people were saying Javier was the hope of Europe as Asia and NA are dominating men's singles. With Javi's semi-retirement and a big ?? on the Russian boys, maybe Europe decided to adopt Yuzu since JSF has to take care of Shoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSF doesn't really care that much for him anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EisElle Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'll be EXTREMELY disappointed if Rika won't get the host pick for NHK. She's the only Jpn girl with the true BV potential to go head to head with Russian ladies (Wakaba & Kaori, what about a 3A?), and she NEEDS all the senior experience and the exposure to build a reputation before the debut of Eteri's jr girls. Tho she's dangerous for the other Jpn ladies at NHK, so maybe JFS would be reluctant to make that field any more crowded...but thinking long-term, I'd invest on her. Her main problem thus far has been her nerves, so yes, she needs to compete at high levels. Mako earned her spots, she medaled at JWC while Rika didn't, so no issue there.But if JSF can't see the potential of a lady with a stable 3A and training a quad... Sad that Jun Hwan got only one GP. The most interesting Men competitions will probalby be IDF with Nathan, Dima and Boyang (tho I don't think a clean Boyang can still beat a clean Nathan, more so if Nathan has a good SA) and Helsinki. COR will have many sr debutants with a bunch of quads (and Aliev and Messing) Shoma vs Vincent, even if Shoma coluld have lower BV, if he stays on his feet it will be easy. Same for Nathan. SC seems...low-key, no offence to other skaters like Jason and Kazuki but they're not going to trouble Shoma (one becasue of BV, the other because PCS). That's the difference with a skater like Misha. Actually, Misha could deserve better GOE and PCS than most of top skaters, and he has Rus fed behind. So I think Boyang, Yuzuru and Misha got the toughest GP legs overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it makes sense that they went with Shoma sadly. So, with the Japanese ladies GPs what's the chance they make it to GPF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katt Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Am I the only one who glad Yuzuru finally not getting NHK ? He basically did NHK for the whole past quad. Let him grace another GPs with his presence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
