People just like to assume that skaters like being given too much from the judges, just to justify their dislikeness towards those skaters, because all those people want is to direct their hate from the judges to skaters who never score themselves. You know what, skaters don't think that much. They go out there and skate all they can, injured or not, unprepared or not, it's what they have been trained for. Tell me why Joshi still skated at CoR not long after her surgery? She had no chance of a medal there for sure. Tell me why Han Yan still went to TEB despite knowing beforehand that he had no hope for GPF? No matter how much I have pondered, I can't get straight into the mind of those who like to post ugly/negative comments towards skaters.
These athletes have plenty of stress to suffer, sometimes they get screwed by the judges, sometimes the judges are lenient on them, and they can do nothing about it, they were trained to go out and perform and accept the scores. it's not like they like being scrutinized by anyone.
Oh you hero behind keyboard saying stuff like you can walk in their minds.

Because it's the NHK trophy in Japan and Yuzuru is the reigning Olympic champion, anyone that follows figure skating for some time can at least think about a home inflation. And i'm not directing this to Yuzuru, this is none of his fault. I think we shouldn't be naive and neglect that figure skating scoring unfortunately have its flaws. It will probably happen, wether we want it or not, but it's still a (high) probability not an absolute sure thing so sorry If I made it sound like it's sure because it's not.

I'm not in the slightest hating or directing anything to Yuzuru himself, I think you are misleading my comment, especially because I don't have any dislikeness toward Yuzuru or else why would I be commenting on a fanboard of him. I just stated that a home inflation is likely to occur, it's just a logical thinking, but just as a said at my latest reply it's not a sure thing. It might be unfortunate, so I hope that he can fullfill his desire and deliver great performances and go to the GPF.

Saitama was not far from out memories and Mao was pretty much underscored there. All Japanese ladies technically were underscored there. Yuzuru got a UR call which was not UR at all in the SP.
CoR 2014, Anna Pogo got the normal scores on her home ice.
TEB, all French skaters got low PCS and except for the ice dance, no French skate was on the podium.
So
we can't tell until they get the scores.Saitama was not far from out memories and Mao was pretty much underscored there. All Japanese ladies technically were underscored there. Yuzuru got a UR call which was not UR at all in the SP.

As I said it's not a sure thing, so i think that you are agreeing why this comment of mine. There are a couple of examples that go against the score inflation at home ice as you stated as well as there many example of when it happened PCS wise. I'm stating a possibility and a desire that Yuzuru will deliver the best that he can possibily do right know despite the scores that will be given to him.

I am sorry. Because recently I have read too many disgusting comments like "He knows that he will win despite 10 falls" (And I am like: Dude, I know you hate him but please be reasonable, male skaters only have 8 jumping passes in LP) or like "Too happy to be overscored, huh?" (And I am like: How disgusting you can be? These boys could have died.)
Technically this sport is about strength and grace combine. But some "fans" are just nasty. :hopelessness:
I understand. However, I didn't comment with this is intent, i'm sorry if it sounded like I was because score inflation seems like a sensitive topic for some people. I think that there's no harm to talk about it when it happens if we do it respectfully. The episodes that you mentioned are indeed not a great thing.

Here is full Japanese script of what Yuzuru said that at the press-conference. It makes more sense than that really short version from Sanspo. Yuzuru said that probably many people think it was reckless and dangerous, and criticized Brian and JSF, but he is really grateful to them cause they had respect for his determination and let him skate. He also described his condition (apparently he had ankle sprain even before he went to CoC, and the biggest problem that still has some impact is with his thigh, Han Yan's knee hit it at full speed).
It would be great if somebody translated it, it's really interesting to know Yuzuru's true feelings.

No worry, we all know the scoring has never been alright.
But to be fair, I think ISU would just doesn't care about Yuzuru that much, since GPF will be in Europe, they might take time to care more about skaters there.
Personally I haven't thought of any score for Yuzuru at all. Because we all know his condition is not ideal. He did not so well in the practice and he still feels pain in both legs. I just simply don't think about the medal at all. All I hope is that his condition will be alright after NHk trophy is over.

It seems to me that Yuzu was trying very hard to impress his doctor, BOrser and JSF during the unofficial practice with his quads and that's why he seemed to look fine. Now that he is allowed to skate in NHK, he is starting to show his true health conditions. He seems to be struggling with his jumps during the official practice. I understand he wants to go to GPF and that we should trust him. He even gave in and changed the layouts of both programs. This shows his determination. I wish you the best Yuzu.

He changed the layouts so much drastically, and lowered them so, so, so much that they still remain the hardest in field

Let's trust in our boy. I am not looking for record-breaking scores from him just that he will do his best under the circumstances. Of course I will also be praying that nothing untowards happens to him or the other competitors.
