what I heard regarding his program, he will keep long and get a new short, so what is that？

Since the federation gave that info to ISU, they could be Han's coaches during the summer camps overseas. They might think of listing them as Han's coach to be beneficial for Han. It looks like bluffs though.

ETA: The ISU staff didn't do their job correctly. They listed another skater's former coaches.

could be that he worked with Raf a couple, so they listed Raf for the reputation and political influence.
but if he is indeed get 2 brand new programs from these 2 choreographers. that is a huuuuuugggeeeee change. So late in the season.
if it is indeed true. it only means one thing. he is in good condition and capable of change style and push/explore for choreo.

Wasn't a news announced that Mingzhu Li will be assigned as his coach right after the Worlds was over? Han needs stable consistency on his quad, so his team might think Rafael is the best option for him.

Out of Lori, out of silly and sloppy programs. I don't think Lori is a terrible choreographer in general, but her insincere works for Han made me angry.

Seems like neither Han Yan nor Zijun Li follows the arrangement by the fed to work with coach Mingzhu Li. Zijun is now training at home with her former coach Haijun Gao ...

so happy. he seemed to really like his coach! YAY!

 

[shiroKJ]

So they scrapped his previous programs and got new ones + change of coaches? It seems quite sudden and so late into the season.

But its good, he needed a change as something obviously isn't working. (I was devastated for him and Nam last season)

Not only that, considering Mingzhu Li's track record....the woman...coach of Lu Chen.

 

[yyyskate]

one thing though, both Han and Zijun are from affluent family(and very possibly got sponsorship), if they can, they could afford to hire their coaching team as wish like North American skaters. Just that, the system is tricky. what I heard before is that, even if you can afford, you still have to abide the assignment/rules that is whatever assigned to me. otherwise, you will lose significant stuff (like getting buried).
Dont know,what is the situation right now. but maybe something huge has happened during last couple of years within Chinese Fed.

The previous coach info looked weird, so I googled them to find out their full name, guess what?



They are Michal Brezina's former coaches. Most of them are Czech coaches or their base is the Czech Republic except Viktor Petrenko currently residing in New Jersey. http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00007004.htm

The ISU staff got lazy and made a foolish mistake.

 

[Crossover]

Wait...since the info of Han's former coach gets wrong, Rafael and the new choreographers can be wrongly listed by the ISU staff.
Michal's new coach is Rafael, so....

That means Han is stuck with Lori......

:roll9:

I've never trusted skaters' height info on ISU bio pages, but wow...they screwed up and tricked us.

 

[cathlen]

Lately ISU made mistake with Ilinykh/Zhiganshin, seems they continue to make mistakes But I/Z has now updated correct info, so I guess Han Yan will soon too

 

[cathlen]

I've written to ISU today on FB and they changed Han Yan's Bio: http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00012352.htm (But they didin't update Michal's, they're being wierd)

EDIT: But they left description of Michal Has written to them again.

Can anyone tell me what coaches are doing with Han Yan that he loses so many points on spins? I can't understand what happened to his beautiful 3A either....

Was the coach with him today at SCI Mingzhu Li? Hmm...

Hope he fights back in the free skate tonight!

I think so, but I'm not sure.

The FP was a disaster points wise. 3A that I live for is nowhere there. And the bad skates started affecting his PCS a lot. I mean, one judge gave him 7.00 for SS! I don't know if someone is blind or just evil, because his SS is always superb. One of the reasons I love him. At least he lost less points on spins, but it still need work. I'm so devastated for him

Sigh. I'm so bummed for Han Yan right now. I was hoping that a Boyang Jin/Han Yan rivalry could be China's version of what a Max Aaron/Jason Brown (or even Joshua Farris before he had to stop skating) would have been.

 

[Violet Bliss]

I wish I know what's happening in Han's head that has caused his loss of confidence and the gorgeous 3A. :sad21:

Last Worlds was an aberration that should not continue to mess with him.

Yeah I love Hanee when he's on. Also I agree he's a nice contrast to Boyang. I'd say it's more of a comparison of a potential Jason Brown/Nathan Chen rivalry.

I also really liked the idea of the 2012 Jr. worlds podium pushing each other. Now Josh is gone, so I hope he gets his mojo back.
