Yep, and I'm glad....it sounded so stressful for you guys You're only going to ladies and men's right?

Yes. I didn't want to take that many days off work, and I'm afraid I might get bored if I go to SP as well.

Are you going to school in the Boston area?

The Guardian has written an article about John Curry and they mentioned Yuzuru: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2015/dec/04/yuzuru-hanyu-john-curry-figure-skating?CMP=twt_gu

This part:

If you wanted to see a memorial to John Curry, it was provided by Yuzuru Hanyu in Nagoya last weekend. During the NHK Trophy, the penultimate event of the international championship season, the 20-year-old Japanese figure skater became the first man to record over 200 points in the free skate, and the first to top 300 overall. Above and beyond mere marks, however, Hanyu unfurled a long programme that fulfilled all the promises Curry had ever made about the potential of his sport to attain the condition of art.

and this part:

Hanyu, blessed with boy-band looks, wore an oyster-coloured tunic trimmed with purple and glittering with jewels as he spun like a sycamore seed in a light breeze through the jumps that studded his historic long programme. And nobody, the morning after, was going to confront him with coded questions about masculinity and athleticism. In a darkening world, there at least was a point of light.

Saw that NHK accidentally(?) showed him using his inhaler yesterday during backstage warm-up. I know he and his team is on top of his health situation but I still got a little worried tbh.

Anyways sending good vibes and hope that he has a good FS as well! :agree2:

Thought I would explain the use of ventolin inhaler in asthma. From the looks of it, Yuzuru has exercise-induced asthma, in which asthmatic attacks are triggered by physical activity. This is the only subtype of asthma where the inhaler is used in a prevention manner BEFORE an asthmatic attack occurs. Therefore, the doctor would advise a routine administration of ventolin inhaler before a planned physical activity.

The rationale of this is that no children or adults should missed out on physical activity because of asthmatic attacks. Asthma should be controlled optimally so that children can join in the same activities as non-asthmatic children and live the same kind of lives. Imagine a child that has to sit out during sports at school and not able to join their friends in the field or courts. That would create a psychological problem for the child.

Asthmas that are triggered by other things such as food or dust or cold temperature are only treated with ventolin inhaler WHEN the asthmatic attacks begins and not before. Doctors would ask patients to avoid the trigger factors but it would be wrong for doctors to ask patients to skip physical activities.

So the conclusion is that Yuzuru using the inhaler is probably a routine and preventive measure, not because his asthmatic attack had already started.

Officially bought my tickets for Worlds 2016! Got my ladies and men's tickets. Please let me know if any Yuzuru fans will be joining me. I'm making my sister come with me for the free programs but I'll be by myself for the short programs

Oh, so jealous. I really love to go, but the tickets are so expensive and we are two people and then there are plane tickets, accomodation, visa expenses, ...

Bought my ticket to worlds, ya'll!! I got Lodge 20 and it's pretty far back, but at least it's on the judge's side. Still on the fence for the ladies, but at least the rafters are cheap for now. I know I don't have long to decide since even those are selling fast.

The only available fancam so far of that moment in the skaters/coaches area
. Very short as I guess no camera/video is allowed.

Can't make the SPs since I have work and class, but I should be there for the men's free.

Yay! Congrats What section are you in? I'll be in lodge 4 for all events. My sister couldn't come so I'll be traveling solo

Lodge 20 for me, so we're on the same side, but opposite ends. My ticket is also solo but I have friends that will be there. Looking forward to meeting fellow Yuzu enthusiasts! Definitely will be buying a big Japanese flag, lol. That's the only one I'll need. I have a small US hand flag I'll probably bring along. I may get a Spanish one for Javi but that's about it.

My mom she'll talk to me about it on Sunday...So hopefully!

 

[Poice]

Hi again! I had some free time today so - this is highlights version of Yuzu's LP from Polish Eurosport. I translated comments into English. Sorry for all mistakes in advance!

and this part:

Wow, that's quite the compliment on Yuzuru's part. :eeking: I'm sure he would be honored to hear about the comparison.

Good luck! :thumbsup:

lmao the one guy trying to be professional/unbiased and the other one just shutting him down

 

[Ophelia]

Why did Yuzuru change his original Seimei step sequence? That one was so much better.

 

[xibsuarz]

Why did Yuzuru change his original Seimei step sequence? That one was so much better.

Because he was only getting a level 2 for it (check the AC protocols), so they changed it to get level 4. The original fit the music and mood much better, IMO

The Polish Eurosport guys are killing me. I think they might have taken over the B.ESP guys as Yuzu's biggest fanboys.

Thank you very much for your effort to translate both SP and LP! :luv17:

Question for Yuzu fans:

Does anyone remember which 'kiss and cry' where Yuzuru handed the Winnie the Pooh tissue cover to Brian Orser and Brian has this sheepish look and wanted to put that cover away but could not find a space and end up holding it while the score was announced?

I also have the same question. If the original is only level 2, I doubt that Yuzu would accept it in the first place. I think the original, if performed to its full extent, is designed to be level 4. But a level 4 stsq can get level 2 or 3 from judges when some turns are not that accurately done or easy to identify.

Yes, I mean, I'm sure they would have known if the sequence would only be a level 2. Then again, since we only saw it once, we don't know exactly how well he performed it. Perhaps he could try the original layout at Nationals again? See how it's regarded as. If it's lv. 2 then he could drop it completely, if it's lv. 4 he could use it again.

That will be great if he can just give it another shot for the original stsq at National! I love the original version. :luv17:
