He's got less stiff competition than Samarin IMO, he's got just 1 opponent at each comp that he's unlikely to beat, whereas Samarin has 2-3. Rostelecom is a tougher field with Shoma, Zhou, Samarin and Aliev and Kvitelashvili. I wish I could look at it optimistically, lol. But pessimist that I am, I see two years of Kolyada being against Yuzu in every GP as RusFed saying "he won't win.....just send him anyway." His career is just so frustrating to me, when he's talented enough that he should be regularly beating that entire Rostelecom men's field.
June 21, 20197 yr Dear Figure Skating Gods, Please let everyone have a healthy season. It would be deeply appreciated. Sincerely, Me
June 21, 20197 yr @kaeryth Thank you for bringing those charts into the thread, but honestly, I cannot look at them without getting so angry at the unfair judging last season. Any other season, fine, but after Saitama, wow, they really illustrate the unfairness. It's such a shame, because they really help in visualizing the strengths of the field in each event, and that makes it easier to predict who we'll see in Torino.
June 21, 20197 yr Yuzu, Nate, Shoma and Zhou - 90% in the final IMO 2 places left for the others. I really can't predict the ladies. The field is insane. One wrong step and you're gone. lol

We did the Eurostar last year you just have to be careful with connections. It's a long way to go for just a day. Yeah I was thinking of just flying.. seems easier and quicker!

I think I could "solve" the cell Phone issue since I have a japanese friend... If you can just ask a friend to apply in the lottery for you for paper tickets, it will be the easest way. As for instructions just read Saitama ticket thread.

June 21, 20197 yr For the first time in my life, I'm thinking about going to an ice skating competition...but being where I am (Perth, Australia) travelling time will be over 27hrs to Canada...The price of flights around $1800 but the all event ticket that are still left around $200+ so that's not too bad. However, I'd rather go to NHK as I can see my parents then fly to Sapporo (1hr) and stay 3 nights then come back and have more time in Japan...if only I can get a ticket...

He's the best male skater Russia has atm (and has had in a bit) and they treat him like a dog. RusFed should see his talent and technique and work with him to achieve more consistency instead of always mistreating him smh
