Me too
I feel you. There's still a little pond where I cried all those tears (as soon as it gets cold enough we can skate on it). But I guess I'll be going in December anyway, since I already got the tickets, the flight, the hotel, good company, hopes and dreams and all that other stuff you don't need as long as you don't care for a little joy once in a while

: I'm so happy I ordered it!! :agree: I recommend anyone who is contemplating over the price to make the right decision and purchase it, because it's worth every penny.It's probably going to forever be one of my most treasured photobooks.
That´s a... weird looking picture... looks really low quality for a magazine photoshoot
The second row behind the judges should be very good, personally I always prefer the judges side than the "VIP" arena SS seats on the other side. Hope you have a great trip in Barcelona.
p.s. I think I know who you are
So he might only jump 2 quads in the long. I think that's a relief, given his health condition, especially his back injury.http://www.amazon.co.jp/フィギュアスケート-2...ワールド・フィギュアスケート別冊-ワールド・フィギュアスケート/dp/4403310907
I bought this magazine yesterday (I was late,haha), there were the interviews of Yuzuru, Orser, and Bourne. I can't translate all of them but I will post some summaries
The interview seemed to be taken in the open practice in August.
Yuzuru said,
Free Program
He had wished to skate to "Phantom of the Opera" for a long time, so he (they) had already decided to have it as new FP from the beginning. All the music is consists of the subject "Phantom". He is not the type who skates that powerful, therefore he hopes he'll be able to show a little different phantom from the typical one, "the phantom of his own". He is planning to do 4S and 4T in the first half and 4T combo in the second half of the program, but the success rate is still low, so it's likely enough to change the plan.
Short Program
The essential part is 4T in the latter half of the program. Last season, he had succeeded in getting good scores by executing 4T beautifully gaining a lot of positive GOEs because he had the jump in the first half. However, this season, he is going to do it in the second half where he can get 10% bonus and have to execute it cleanly to gain positive GOEs, that's really hard. He also has to jump in different timing from the last year because the music itself is slow, he will keep focusing on that issue.
But please, please keep 3A-1lo-3S
I think he will propably go for 2 quads only in COC to not force his back, maybe he will try 3 quads in his 2nd GP, we will see
If this was said at the open practice, by now maybe he is handling this layout okay. He said himself back then that he must work on his stamina the perform it
