A bit off topic but I just want to see if I remember right: with PW he broke the WR 4 times right? (Considering both 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons)
And welcome elainne!
1- Chopin Project Runaway...sample #1, #2, #3

Yes
1. Skate America 2012 – Seattle/Kent, Washington: 95.07
2. NHK Trophy 2012 – Sendai, Japan: 95.32
3. Grand Prix Final 2013-14 – Fukuoka, Japan: 99.84
4. 2014 Winter Olympics – Sochi, Russia: 101.45
I agree to change the neckline and would also change the pants. I'd like to see black pants with a belt like what he wore for PW and a shirt with a collar that is loose through the arms and a bit less fitted than the PW shirt. Keep the gradient, but maybe change the color to black and gray or blue and gray. A bit of bling, but not too much, and definitely without any frills and lace!![]()
In fact the bv of Chopin is only 0.18 points higher than the bv of PW.
Thanks for the link. His quad salchow never fails to amaze me , it's huuuuuuuuuge.
At the end of the report, I guess with the pictures they ask something about the accident ? can someone let us know what did he say ?
I agree on 105/106 being a bit too much with the current layout, but i think Chopin layout is a bit higher than 0.18.
I think it should be around 0.80 (taking Olympics BV as example for PW).
1) Is this the original layout of Chopin with 4T in second half?
3A
4Tx
3Lz3Tx
2) SEIMEI Layout , anybody knows the BV for this?
4S
4T
3F
4T2T×
3A3T×
3A1Lo3S×
3Lo×
3Lz×
3) I thought in SP there is also +10% for jumps in second half, example per this results shown.

This clip is my favorite. He yells, "I can't do it! NO!" in English to his Pilates instructor. It's his childish side. Seeing him training those beautiful jumps also makes me happy.
Allow me to do the math

4T: 10.3
3A: 8.5*1.1 = 9.35
3Lz+3T: 10.1*1.1 = 11.11
TOTAL BV: 30.76
Chopin Balade no. 1
3A: 8.5
4T: 10.3*1.1 = 11.33
3Lz+3T: 10.3*1.1 = 11.33
TOTAL BV: 31.16
DIFFERENCE: 0.4 points
You may have noticed that the BV for the PW combo is lower than the one for Chopin. Keep in mind that I applied the new rules for Chopin, and so the 3T is worth .2 higher than before. I think that what he'll need to rely on, more than the PCS, is going to be GOEs. We've seen that judges appreciated the 3A into and out of the spread eagle, so that may help him. Although he was already getting good GOEs for his 3A in PW because of the counter entrance. Where he could stack up some points would be, I assume, with the quad.
1) Already answered above
2) Let me help (I'm pretty bored if it's not obvious)
4S: 10.5
4T: 10.3
3F: 5.3
4T+2T: (10.3+1.3)*1.1 = 12.76
3A+3T: (8.5+4.3)*1.1 = 14.08
3A+Lo+3S: (8.5+0.5+4.4)*1.1 = 14.74
3Lo: 5.1*1.1 = 5.61
3Lz: 6*1.1 = 6.6
TOTAL BV: 79.89
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, same goes for the SP
3) Yes, there is an extra 10% in the SP as well

About videos and reports from yesterday, some of your members seemed to be interested in his statement about retirement, career, and the accident at COC..
Today, the article describing them a bit in detail is uploaded, so I made rough translation focusing on his words. Anyone who understands Japanese correct me please.

The last season’s accident at COC or something brought him about some sense of mission.
“I had that accident, which enables me to convey the danger of brain concussion with more persuasion. My experience with mental care after the surgery will help me to support others. Thus, (my works should range to) not just figure skate, but sports overall. I hope to try to approach these areas little by little.”
His study at University relates to psychology, physical overall. Further, four years have passed since he came to Canada. He’d already had the unconventional career plan, but last season’s experience strengthened it.
“My career of becoming a coach seems to be fading. I dislike being obsessed by some conventional framework. I want to be a lecturer (instructor), if possible. I suppose I can, since I’m studying the areas around mentality or practice circumstances.”
His role is to convey his experience with “Gold medal”, which is not limited to winter sports.
“I hope to work in Japan, focusing more on supporting younger athletes. If I make exclusive contract with some organization (about my work), I may get more stable income. But I don’t wish it. My wish is I’ll go as many places as possible.”
Gold after three years is the unchanged biggest goal. At the same time, another dream is there.
“Phyoncheong (The next Olympic after Sochi) has been my goal since I was very young. It’s to end with Gold medal at Sochi and another at Phyoncheong, and then turning professional. I’ve wanted to perform as a pro still in my best shape, rejecting turning pro after losing my best. There should be what it needs to be a professional.”
Now he intensely concentrates on competitions without indulgence.
“My impression is I come abroad just for the sake of skate. I must devote myself to skate more and more. There’s no classroom, but study is necessary. Thus, I seldom go around, eating out only a few times per year. At my days off, I just take a rest for skate. Sometimes I do training; I do something refreshing; and when I stop practice for any trouble, I study about that. “
That accident at COC generated another feeling.
“I come to have less of fear. It’s feel like not something to fear but something to awe. Difficult... Even if I fall in any conditions or circumstances, I can feel that the things will be settled, since I was able to get over that (COC accident). I have the conviction that I can improve my skills, I can do skating with more confidence, and I can get my practice more effective.”
This young king has pride and responsibility and confidence. The future with various possibilities lies ahead the way from the stormy last season.

Thank you very much Hamaguri!
This guy has such a big dream, he would certainly be a great inspiration to younger skaters. Also big kudos to him to turned a horrible accident as a big lesson to improve himself rather than succumb to it. Go Yuzu!![]()
