Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[Li'Kitsu]

But the 3F is always such a beautiful choreographic touch. ALWAYS. sniff.

And it will always be the third jump. Who needs quads, the 3F is were it's at!

Okay, actually it the 3As, but you know what I mean!

That said, I can't imagine a 3F combo either. Guess it will always have to be the outlier between 4As, 4Lzs and 1/2Lo-4Ss. Maybe one day a 3F will be considered so easy, it's basically a choreographic element, and not a jump

 

[gladiolusc]

While we're at it, maybe he can do a 3Lo instead of a 1Lo
or a 4Lo

His hips.... :shocked:

I admit, I'm just sulky about all the fast-tracked upgrades and want to wrap him up in cotton wool or bubble wrap or whatever angel fluff.

And I mourn the sure demise of 3F. *repeats on loop*

I had a very rough day and stormy night so it was natural to have lots of nightmares but I don't know why all of them were about Yuzuru's performance in WC 2017. In one of them he popped his combo to 1L+2T I also saw Brian had an interview after the sp saying that watching this performance from Yuzuru was heartbreaking :sad21:

That's horrible!!!! Before USA nationals I had a dream the Shibutani's messed up their twizzles, so I know what it is like to have a figure skating nightmare. Yours was particularly nightmarish with the interview.

Folks, I was worried the thread was dead as there were relatively few posts today, but you seem to be reviving...

I just decided to go to Helsinki a few hours ago and I bought the plane tickets (aka comitted financial suicide) but I don't have any event tickets yet and I am starting to get nervous. :hopelessness:
I know I have delurked only a few weeks ago but I'd love to join your meet-up if I actually manage to succeed in getting the event tickets!!! my credit card decided to not work today and i couldnt even get any cheap sp/practice/exhibition tickets.... i need a prayer circle that i succeed tomorrow.

Good luck! If not I think there are always resells on GS and elsewhere.

Welcome to the madness! Yeah, more german representation, I'm always surprised how many of us there are here (The financial suicide will be the accommodation in Helsinki, I'm afraid :hopelessness: )
Good luck tomorrow with the tickets, and good luck for good LP tickets showing up again too

Prayer circle for you! That's kind of awesome Now you're just tempting me... :think:
There might be people deciding last minute not to go, and are looking to sell??

let's camp somewhere (not that I can go, though, unfortunately...)

I lucked out and can share an apartment with 3 awesome ladies, which makes it cheaper and more fun!
But generally, I'm fine with camping. How about CoR camping if we do have the luck of Yuzu choosing that GP? Or 2018 PC?

 

[Farnaz]

That sounds catastrophic and i'm not sure i could survive it without breaking into a sobbing mess.
Isn't it a bit early to start with the gloomy WC posts...

Sorry, I didn't intend to be gloomy. He will win this WC, mark my words. I was just so exhausted from all these nightmares and shared them here with the only people who can understand. I'm so so positive about 2017 worlds :agree:

If CoR is in Moscow... I don't have to camp. Though I can camp along with you!
Or else I could put someone up if they don't mind being really cramped in a tiny room.

I had this question elsewhere but no one answered there. Will there be a CoR next year? I seem to recall something about no GP events taking place in Russia for the time being?

 

[Li'Kitsu]

I thought this no Russian GP was just an overdramatic rumor? (Like the majority of figure skating related doping stuff I have seen ...)

Tiny rooms would be no problem, everything that saves money is good
Or you just camp with me and the (potential) rest of the Yuzu squad for fun

well, fine - 'we're going to have a wedding or a hanging', to quote Prince John from Men in Tights - EITHER WAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN!

Oh, good to know.

Thank you! Yess but the resells I have found up until now are over my budget, let's see how desperate I get towards the end of my quest for tickets

The madness has taken control over me, there's no escaping it now. I found a cheap airbnb that's close to the arena so I'll be fine I think!!

And yeahhh thank you I really hope I can get some good LP tickets... those are the ones I am intending on splurging on. If it wasn't my last chance to see H&L live I wouldn't have made the decision.... All these posts today about it made me cave in to the temptation.

And I didn't know you were also from Germany!!!

Prayer circle for you! That's kind of awesome Now you're just tempting me... :think:

Thanks :hopelessness:
Give in to the temptation!!!
And yeah that's my hope too!! If I had known I'd be this mad a few months later I would have bought the tickets when they were available..... I distinctly remember longingly looking at the site

I am surprised too, I thought MaiKatze is the only one here from Germany To me, accomodation in Helsinki costs more than the (cheapest) all event + the flight tickets together...Incredibly expensive.
