2015 Summer Fan Fest Fete! Updates!

Fantastic idea! Great job! Thanks for all the work! :yay: :yay: :yay:

You're welcome! If any of you feel the urge to update an OP, even if you were not the original poster, just add your update to the thread and tell us what you have done here so that we can copy the update into the first post.

I guarantee that you will learn a few things!

I had no idea Kovtun had done military service, and somehow had not registered that 2015 was his third trip to a WTT!

I just have to chime in and say...

What an ambitious project! Fascinating!

this is such a great idea. Thank you so much

I am not as speedy as Doris, but my first (major) contribution to the party will be to the Sui/Han thread. So for you Sui/Han fans, please let me know if there's any interesting video clips or articles I should add!

Hoping to have a solid first stab by this evening!

These are really good. I am learning, and will learn, a lot about skaters I didn't know that much about. Thank you so much, ladies!

FYI, I just started a fan thread for Maddie Aaron & Max Settlage.
And I have started (emphasis on "started" ) compiling links for Max Aaron's OP. I have been editing them into my first post (#4) within the Max A thread.

The quote below from my work-in-progress OP for Maddie and Max S applies also to my gathering of Max A's links:

That's wonderful! We need all the help we can get!

Today's update is for Yuzuru Hanyu.

http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?35500-Yuzuru-Hanyu

I have tried to do a basic update of Yuzuru's OP. A complete listing of media about him is in the currently 14 page Media thread. There is now a link to this thread in the OP.

Please take a look and tell me if there are important things that you would like to see included that I have omitted. I see his OP as the abstract, Reader's Digest version, of an OP exactly because there is so much info that could be included.

Thank you it looks good! I'd like to compile Fernandez over the next day or so if no one else is doing it?
BTW, Becki made some veeery accurate predictions about Yuzu in the OP. Well done, o prophet.

Excellent work, doris! :agree: I PM'ed you a suggest for Yuzu's update.

Newbiespectator, thank you for offering to update Javier's thread! That would be wonderful

The Sui/Han update is complete! It was a fun exercise. They were so tiny back in 2010! It is amazing how much they grew, both physically and in their skating and performance.
Enjoy fans!

I've added his EX back till 2012, but I can't find any before that, and also videos from 2006 and earlier are hard to find.
Any posters know of Baby Javi videos? Please send me a PM or post here.

I'm glad you clicked. It's amazing how he's worked his way from a hilarious last place at worlds to being World Champion.
I've updated the OP, so if anyone has a better video link or some clips of his childhood to share, just send me a PM.

http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?42096-Madison-Hubbell-amp-Zach-Donohue

I just finished Madison Hubbell & Zach Donohue's OP. Unfortunately, I couldn't find video of their highest scoring event, 2014 Golden Spin of Zagreb, but there are lots of goodies, including videos of them with their previous partners.

http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?52703-Misha-Ge&p=1014401#post1014401

I have just updated Misha Ge's OP. Please check out how the competitive history is formatted. It is a lot of work to do that way. Is it worth it for you guys?

Also, if there are any additions needed or errors that need fixing, please tell me.

What OP's should we tackle next?
