SSS Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 2 hours ago, micaelis said: Yes, there are many quads but one of the quadsters is out of it. Nathan Chen had what can only be described as a 'meltdown'. He's in 17th place and I wonder how the American media are trying to explain what has happened to their vaunted champion. Nathan is clearly going nowhere. That leaves just Boyang as the remaining quadster. He is a legitimate threat, as are Shoma and Javi But I don't think Yuzu is worried. I think he's at a state of mind where he truly trusts his training and trusts his program. He's in total synch with them. I think right now he's in the state of mind that he was in back at the 2015 GPF. He's not competing. He's performing and the the perfection of the performance is all that matters. Whether he wins or not is inconsequential. Whether he sets a record or not is equally inconsequential. Whether he can skate better than clean and have a performance he will remember to his dying day, that's what matters. I feel like his mental status is different from 15gpf... if he continues today I can say he reaches another level... So now nbc just send me a news article about fans complaining nbc showing skiing instead of skating during prime time which caused them miss the historical moment... that Vincent jumped first 4lz in this olympics... Havent read all the Boston negative thought... but as a superstitious fan who needs negative thought to ensure Zu do well.. thanks for the food in advance... My anxiety level truely proved that it worked yesterday one more day to go. Pray. Link to comment

He just has to find that 'helsinki free' spot in which, even if he feels like he has no energy, he breathes and the program is skated for itself. I think he can do it. Link to comment

hamaguri Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 About Boston, I havent the slightest concern with it. The situation is totally different. At that time, he suffered from serious injury and filled with anxiety. He had D10 incident. He had the barrier between him and Brian. brabrabra... He learned a lot and his team sincerely support his mental recovery and he really appreciate it and lead to a closer tie between them. After Boston, shirota-san (ANA skating club manager) joined to support him and it worked well. Looking back 2016 and 2015 Worlds, landslide lead seems not to be good. It gives the leader unnecessary pressure? Im not sure. A close gap of this time would be useful to keep good tension, I think. Link to comment

GreatLakesGal Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Has this NYT article been posted yet? It's written by the same guy who did that nice article on Yuzu a few weeks ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/15/sports/olympics/figure-skating-yuzuru-hanyu-nathan-chen.html Quote The only thing missing for Hanyu at rinkside was his trademark Winnie the Pooh doll, which serves as a tissue box and a totem of good luck with its smiling, uncritical gaze. The Disney character, created by A.A. Milne, would be a violation of Olympic branding and sponsorship rules. But Hanyu did pat a Pooh doll on the head in his room for good fortune before the competition. (“I’m sure he was cheering for me,” he said.) Knowing how superstitious Yuzu can be, I'm so relieved that he was able to pat a Pooh before skating! Link to comment

It was long overdue a cleanup and some more images were added+format fixed so please come and read. Feel free to leave your comments !! maybe i should move this to a blog Link to comment

Besides he said that stamina after two months off-ice was one of his main concerns, so he is aware of it and surely has worked on it. According to Brian he was doing 2-3 full run-throughs each day. Ngl after seeing his starting number I thought immediately about B*****n, but actually he was second in the last group then, his least favoutite number. Anyway I think it is not a good idea to interpolate that heartberaking experience to what we have right now, I'd say the situation is quite opposite. Please, let's stay positive y send good vibes to Yuzu! Whatever happens tomorrow I wish him to have "dream perfomance on a dream stage". Link to comment
