Did you also verify the other theory, the need of three revolutions after change of footI watched it again and that was a ridiculous call.

Yuma is skating to Vocussion by Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. This music was one of the cuts included in Denis Ten’s “Silk Road” free skate in the 2014|-2015 season.This is an extremely random question, but Kagiyama's SP music sounds really familiar. What is it and who else has skated to it?
The rule is just that 3 spin revolutions are needed on each foot for a change foot spin to count, not each individual position directly before and after a change of foot must be held for 3 revolutions. If that was the rule then we would see a whole bunch of spins being invalidated, which doesn't happen. However, in the SP it is 6 revolutions required on each foot (in either basic or non-basic position). Which he still had, yes.Did you also verify the other theory, the need of three revolutions after change of foot
Both the jump GOE and the invalid spin call are ridiculous. One worked in his favor, one worked against. They probably balanced each other out.Tbh though, so were Hanyu’s jump GOE. I’m sure some people thought the low score was due to imperfect landings - as stated there was no way those quad passes deserved +4 if we are being objective. The quad salchow was a bit wild with the free leg and forward in the toe of the landing foot which he tried to cover with the spread eagle. The quad toe was nice but the combo 3T was a bit overrotated and landed awkwardly outside the circle. I would have given the axel a +4 but it’s not egregious, especially at Nats, to have given it a +5.
End score was correct though... So you have to be happy about that....Both the jump GOE and the invalid spin call are ridiculous. One worked in his favor, one worked against. They probably balanced each other out.
I guess the end result is that I'm OK with the score, but not with how it was tabulated on the protocol sheet.
Exactly what I thought too, I thought I was the only one.And then Hanyu. He has never been one of my favorites - a bit like Kolyada, he certainly has the elements down, but the things between and esp. his complete lack of controlled and working upper body and arms makes the adoration his performances get somewhat hard to understand. I was curious to see how this new program would look like after the mild hype about different vibes and all, but have to say, it was a rehash of the Prince SP and not a very good one at that. In just about all of his SPs, the start is usually slow (and this worked with Let's Go Crazy) and relatively empty of choreo/performance, but this music cut did not accommodate this trait at all. The rhythm was relentless from the first moment on and yet the choreo allowed Hanyu to skate it as he usually does, slowly and mostly unexpressively. The cliched mime and posturing to accents in the music were mostly embarrassing.
This! Has been bothering me for some time now. People tend to be very er... selective when it comes to who they like to criticise for that (and just for the record, I personally don't have a problem with such programs and I enjoy Shoma's Great Spirit program, and I certainly thought his SP performance at Nats was better/more powerful than Yuzu's).Shoma trying to do this. The energy just was not there at all. Also, after all the discussions about cultural appropriation and exploitation, I wonder how this program managed to survive?
????????????????I did not sign up for iSakura to be submitted to endless hours of emo boring slow English men singing.
I demand my hard-earned $8 back.
Sorry, my English was slipping there. What I meant to say was, the (English-language) songs most of the men skated to were boring me.????????????????
We love it. Hook the laptop HDMI up to the tele and rock and roll on demand. We had 8 bucks worth of fun just watching the commercials they put in the upper groups...
