Yay!I love her commentary about Yuzu so much, I'm close to thinking about learning Russian! (But it's of course still behind Japanese on the to do list, you know...
) Thank you so much for posting!
(and my pleasure but there's a full, detailed translation now of her comments in the Yuzu ff)
Because French Fed didn't do a good job at selling tickets. Ask people who tried to purchase tickets and you will understand.
Her commentary makes me regret giving up on mine so many years ago. I mean I can still muddle through if push comes to shove and I think I've genuinely gotten some of it back thanks to listening their commentary but not the same. I kind of wish I had the time to get into it again but yes, I have the exact same issue with Japanese standing in the way
BTW The Italian ESP said something like, welcome to planet Hanyu, population 1, but he is enough
Oh while I'm here, you know what I didn't like? The empty seats here. It really was kind of sad to see so many, and then when you add the amount of just Japanese, or rather when you subtract it, it's depressing.
Mine is snail pace...!Can't speak for everybody, but a few things that kept me from going:
Tell me how the Japanese improvement goes!
I think I heard that comment from more than one commentator even. Is it from Max Ambesi? That guy really loves and adores Yuzu, probably more than any other commentator :luv17:
Yep... and just compare it to Barcelona last year. It is such a shame that this $h*tty organization is basically driving people away and robbing the skaters of the appreciation they deserve. In that sense, they were all robbed. Hopefully it will get fuller for the LPs!
he was gushing on twitter too. The other one wasn't far off with his I cannot over Hanyu's 3A. They do love that jump, and the entry, and frankly I really appreciate it when they explain why it's such a difficult thing to do. They are also the ones that pointed it out when they spoke how with that he gets the same score as some others because the higher difficulty is often ignored. 
: Oh boy that lavender trouser was an eye opener. Superman like butt of steel attached to mighty powerful Olympian thighs and magic bee's knees. Visible hardwork of a strengthened core and added fire power. He definitely seems more bulkier than a few years ago, which made quite a difference from the lanky Romeo merely a few seasons ago. Stamina seems improving too.

Thank you! now we can take the minutiae discussion to a new thread.
On the broader performance side,
-I think Shoma's Lavendar SP is just a bit bland. He can light up the world with a different SP. I really hope he's okay and it's just a bit of shock from the fall. Good job saving the rest of the program.
-I feel for Adam, doing so well and scoring low like that. --In other words, being the only one without the judges inflation. -Not enough inflation to go around.
-Javi's SP is great, but this performance not so great. Amaaaazing save on his second quad. How?
-Patrick was smooth and easy on the eyes. Everything flowing and gentle. His 3A has become so reliable
-Yuzu was so engaged in his performance and that save on the loop. Amazing. Even with the ice problems, he seems to have gotten it under control. Loved t.
-Nathan was ...quite good? He kind of got lost in the shuffle for me. But good job, Nathan.
I'M STILL MISSING BOYANG.
Usually the mens events are the ones that end with disappointment, irritability and bewilderment. Not today, Satan! For the most part, anyway: I'm pretty sad for Shoma. I feel somewhat impartial to Javi. Nathan? No comment, meh. And of course let's not forget fabolulous Adam, I've already rewatched his program five times. A bit slower than usual, but still so much fun. He was having a party on the ice and invited us all to it.
