Next year's 4CC is 1 year before the Olympics. If the IOC requires 1 year before a new venue can be used, then the new venue would need to be finished and tested by February next year. (Does the ISU have the same 1 year requirement for a new venue?) If Korean Olympic committe can't follow their plan, does it mean they would need to use an old venue?

It seems that ISU dont require 1 year like IOC, but it should be (for safety). Anyway I hope they can finish the venue asap
PS: all information is base on Japanese media which is very bias in this problem, so some information should be checked again in western media

The 2017 Four Continents Championships need to be held in Korea at the Olympic venue because it is required that test events be held at a venue prior to its use in the Olympics. I don't believe there is a strict 1 year requirement as some events are being held in Rio this year for the upcoming Olympics. Yuzuru should be there to get a gauge on the acoustics and such (like he did Sochi).

You already saw this? A fan cheering for our beloved Yuzu, It's amazing how the love we have for this kid has the same intensity, no matter what country, city, language, religion ... The excitement of this young man is the same for each of us when we see him skating. I think that some still jump, shout, dance, cry ... It is a unique and unforgettable emotion.
 
Korean National Champion had gas leak incident.
Japanese media question about 2018 olympic safety. (And I always worry for Yuzu at Korea, remembered the last top event in Korea, what happen to japanese athlete :palmf:)
Since 2018 Olympic has many trouble, Korean lack of capital for the even, the rink for FS event havent finished built yet, and by rule it must be finished feb next year. In the other hand, Japanese want korea to withraw or co-organize that event.

Gangneung Ice Arena must and will be completed by November 2016. There is a speed skating test event to be held there in December, and it is 68.5% completed so far. Compared to the laundry list of problems Rio is facing, I really don't think there are any reason to be concerned over PyeongChang yet. I can see why some Japanese media might feel like exaggerating the issues though, lol.

:thank: He did this easy peasy...no wonder we got the out-of-no-where 3rd jump in seimei. I remembered a couple of posters in competition thread said they blinked and missed the jump :laugh:

Someone called the 3rd jump in FS; "今何か飛んだ?フリップ" "Ima nanika tonda? flip" - Did he jump something now? flip :biggrin:

Ninny's pictures are so beautiful. And the passages she put with them are also beautiful. I wish I could be a good poet enough to translate them properly :tantrum:
 
It's ironic since the flip is his least favorite jump. I think :scratch3: or was it the lutz?
BTW is there any news on Hanyu's foot condition? Is he still in Toronto recovering?

Pretty sure it was the flip. Even Brian himself said it in one of his interview when asked about yuzuru doing different type of quads and he answered "well quad flip probably will never happen." :laugh:
He had flat edge on his flip and used to have edge call iirc. Not sure about now, but I think he rarely get edge call nowadays. About his lutz, i don't think it is his least favorite jump considering he practices 4Lz eagerly and once during an interview (w/ akiko i think?) he defended his lz saying "actually, my lutzes are not so bad" (do note this is after 14/15 season and early 15/16 where he kind of lost his lutz :laugh:)
Also, from past info, there will be update on his condition by late May, but yeah for now he is still recovering in Toronto.

Yeah the flip is his least favorite jump, and still...that entrance into it :cool2:
he used to get 'e' sometimes before on his flip, every now and then he gets '!', but I think it didn't happen at all this season! The last time I remember him getting and edge warning was Worlds 2015 :yes:
 
Goals...a fan's weekend in Sendai :yay:

Visited Ice Rink Sendai #1, #2
Bumped into Ice Rink Sendai Irene's bus
Visited Yuzu's tourism magazine photo shoot locations #1, #2 , #3

--------------------

Yuzu's costumes nail arts :bow:


Early morning skates are better with #pooh
@Canadian Ice Academy

Yuzu's Sendai tourism magazine news. I googled translated, please correct me if the translation is wrong:
- The free magazine which was distributed in April has became very popular.
- Currently difficult to obtain, there are also cases of being resold on internet auction site.
- There's plan for a reprint. A website for people to book received about 24,000 applications from all over the country, more than eight times the plans.
- There will be only 2,000 copies for secondary offering on the website in late May.

Yuzuru's lutz is ok because he put it last in his program. Only when you're confident that it's a good jump you can do, you do that. The main issue he has with Chopin Lutz I think is the timing with the music. The rest is just because he's too tired. Yuzuru doesn't have any pre rotation in his lutz so it's a bit doing too much compared to other skaters who do pre rotate it. But overall he isn't bad at the lutz.

+ a couple thousand copies that were distributed to travel agencies are all that are left.

Looks like the "Tono..." movie is showing in Miyagi from tomorrow. The local TV did a special on it today.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4918sj_jchmiyagi-160506_sport
I skipped the first half but Yuzuru appears from around 9:40.
The director of the "making of Tono.." video said that all the staff members and actors were impressed with Yuzuru, the way he walked and talked was elegant that it really was like "there is a Tono-sama here with us". I don't think there were many new footages shown here except it was the first time for me to see the part around 10:40 where he bends down to take a closer look at bugs. He says, "I was thinking that there are a lot of bugs here". (The story of Yuzuru and bugs :laugh:)


------------
Sadao Abe, the main guy in the movie, was on a radio show this morning to promote the movie. Asked by a listener who wanted to know what Yuzuru was like, he said that Yuzuru was friendly and ate bento with everyone (added that he ate everything in the bento). Yuzuru was asked by someone how long he trains for and he said he can't stop himself but about 1.5~2 hrs to avoid injury. He also said that Yuzuru had memorized all his lines and "shosa" (movement) before coming in that day.

I'm impressed he ate all his bento!
