[Medalist] I read the part in the original where Yotaka Jun and Teacher Tsukasa are doing backflips.

Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

You can even do a back flip on skates, that’s awesome!

I was thinking that, and then I saw that male skating in reality is also incorporating backflips into their performances.

What is it…

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

If they can fly on the ground, they think they can fly on ice too.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

There have always been a few people who did it.

It was usually prohibited and you’d get points deducted for doing it because it was dangerous, but it has now been lifted.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

It’s not me.

Adam Shao Im Fa did it.

Short program first place Ilia Malinin did it too.

Amazing

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I was penalized for flying because it was dangerous.

“I don’t care! Let me fly, damn it!” said a person who jumped.

If you want to jump in and argue, you can… but it won’t count as a point… that’s how much it has been relaxed.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like I saw something similar done by a female athlete on Trivia no Izumi a long time ago.

I think I heard that it was prohibited because it was dangerous back then, but now it has been relaxed…

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

If there’s an accident, it would be scary, so I think it’s better to prohibit it.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>6

If we’re talking about dangers, we should stop jumping and spinning on the ice wearing sharp blades in the first place.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

But if I fly, they’ll think I like this guy…

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

In other words, just because there are no penalties doesn’t mean it will be beneficial to do it.

Despite being penalized repeatedly, there was an athlete who kept trying over and over, and the International Skating Union eventually conceded.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I think Bonaly’s retirement after doing what she wanted to do is rock.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Who is that person…?

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Interesting…

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it about Kinnikuman?

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

If it’s dangerous, shouldn’t you not break?

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Boys can be like that, right?

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

There has always been something like “skills that don’t really score points but excite the audience.”

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I don’t think the number of people who particularly want to do it will increase in the future.

It’s a zero because it’s just dangerous.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

The famous Inaba-style does not have a technical score either.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

Was that not there!?

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>18

The technical score is 0.

There might be some extra points for the overall atmosphere as a performance.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

It wasn’t that there was none, but rather that Shizuka Arakawa passed away during her active career.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

>>18

Many people are misunderstanding, but the Ina Bauer has technical points related to the shape of the legs while skating, whereas Shizuka Arakawa’s arching of the upper body is not an Ina Bauer, so it doesn’t change the technical points whether she does it or not.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

This is often misunderstood, but it’s not a technical point.

There is something called a choreographic sequence (performance evaluation points).

Inori-san is good at being a medalist.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

Well, if we’re talking about the risk of injury, then the figure skating itself is dangerous from start to finish…

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like there are people who keep jumping even though they get invalidated for jumping the same way repeatedly, feeling good about it.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

The bottom is solid ice, so whatever you do is dangerous, yeah…

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

It’s crazy to think that I’m skiing without any protection.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t understand why someone would add a backflip to their performance when they already have quadruple jumps in all their routines.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are no technical points.

I don’t know about artistic points.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I saw female athletes doing it in the 90s.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The audience was really excited…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand the opinion that it’s dangerous and shouldn’t be done, but…

Gymnastics can be dangerous too…

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>30

I think there’s quite a difference between a mat and ice.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Amazing athletic ability!

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If you don’t need the points, you can go ahead, but if you fail because of it, you’ll lose points.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Backflips seem like they’ll be banned if a serious accident happens because they are so nerve-wracking to watch.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

To put it extremely, what else to include besides skills that add points is the player’s individuality.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that even girls from a long time ago are doing it easily, according to what I’ve heard from those who know.

It doesn’t seem to be something surprising.

You’re simply underestimating the abilities of figure skaters.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If it’s an ice show instead of a competition, does it feel like you can perform a lot of your favorite moves?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

The raspberry twist was really cool too…

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

There is still a strong belief that just doing difficult tricks in figure skating is not enough.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

The reason it was prohibited is that ordinary people started imitating it at the skating rink.

It’s a level of prohibition that might cause trouble for others, not just for myself.

It’s not a matter of the person failing and how they’re feeling or anything like that.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

There were quite a few athletes who performed in exhibitions just because there were point deductions in competitions.

If the player thinks they can do it, they can.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what that aversion to jump-focused content is all about.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>41

I think it feels very out of place if you consider it just a type of dance competition.

When I think it’s a score battle, how can they block the main cannon!?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Reality has caught up with manga.

It makes sense that the night hawk can jump.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Figure skating athletes train on land as intensively as gymnasts do.

You’re underestimating physical ability.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even after the shift towards a strict scoring system based on technical evaluation rather than ambiguous assessments, there are still those who excel in artistic points.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

I wasn’t talking about underestimating physical ability.

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s a dance competition, but…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s gymnastics since you score the tricks and determine the order.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

Back in my childhood, it was common to hurt my neck while doing backflips in the park, but as long as you have courage and abs, you can do it.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you successfully perform a high-difficulty jump, you can earn points the quickest.

That’s why elite athletes performing a technique worth zero points sends a message to the audience.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s inevitable because it’s a country where baseball chubby people are popular.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

In gymnastics, there are also execution scores, right?

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought the recent World Championships looked really bad for the blade…

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s just too scary to imagine what would happen if I make a mistake.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

Knowing that reading Medalist makes my legs feel swollen has changed my perspective.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>60

It looks like they’re lightly slipping, so I thought that if I practiced specifically, it would become easier, but it was just an appearance.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>80

The speed that comes from the way Ms. Inori distributes her weight on the skates is completely different! Even noticing that requires talent, which I completely lack.

I heard that children who can’t go up keep pedaling endlessly.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>84

Skilled people move with a flow in their feet.

Clumsy people are flailing around to gain speed, so it’s really easy to understand.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was featured in news footage because it stands out.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s put a cushioning material under the ice.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was really into the work, so I watched yesterday’s broadcast, and it was amazing.

Jumping is cool, but spinning is also beautiful.

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I often forget that it is ice that has become hard.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>59

But according to the skaters, it’s apparently not as painful as concrete.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

Concrete is grated against the rough ground…

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shut up! Even if it doesn’t score, I want to hear everyone scream!

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>61

I’m not showing this just for the judges… a performer exists because there is an audience.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I watched yesterday, but what is Quattro God?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

What do you mean?

I am a god, but…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

The performance of this person at the Nagano Olympics remains in my memory forever.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

Amazing!

It just jumps up easily…

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>69

The commentary criticized harshly and there were even boos.

It was really cool, you know.

I thought so, and when I looked it up on Wikipedia, it seems that it was a key moment for Shizuka Arakawa’s attempt at the Ina Bauer.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

The top male was effortlessly flying, which was different from everyone else!?

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s crazy to do a three-legged race on ice and then go on a lift.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>71

It’s also strange to be spinning around and flying away.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I see other athletes’ Ina Bauers, it’s clear that Arakawa’s Ina Bauer is on a master level…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>

Did you see it, Anonymous?

Do it.

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>76

First, I can’t do a backflip…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a figurine, but an acquaintance who was a speed skater had a huge scar on his face that looked like a Yakuza.

They said it was a wound they got when they tripped while practicing in line and crashed into the edge of the person in front of them.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

First of all, I can’t even do a single rotation on the horizontal axis.

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>81

First, it’s impossible for me to stand without holding onto the handrail.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>

It seems that they are doing a backflip while landing on one foot because they have injured one leg.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

The pair is crazy because they throw the woman away.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>83

Both the thrower and the one being thrown, who can maintain a stable posture, are amazing…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Thinking about it carefully, even if you gain speed with skates, all the jumps from there are purely by your own strength…

If anything, it’s understandable that your legs would get tight, including the difficulty in straining.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

If someone dies, the flow will probably change again.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

For now, it’s safer than taking a plane…

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t become a Sekoma-san who teaches the basics to the kids who bring earthworms…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t the Raspberry Twist scoring any points?

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Well, I can understand why the management wouldn’t want people to do it, since failing a backflip has a good chance of becoming a gruesome video.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it succeeds, it will definitely be exciting.

If I mess up, I feel like it’ll turn into a totally fast solo German suplex, so I guess I’ll just seal it away.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems like Kanna-chan would make a splash as a medalist…

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though we’re doing pairs, the management has no regard for anything.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

I don’t know if it was pair skating or dance, but I saw a video a long time ago where a woman lifted a man upside down and pile-drove him onto the ice.

The visuals were interesting, but it could have been a disaster with just one wrong step.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s because there are blades on my feet.

There may be a part of it that says it’s only dangerous, but if we were to mention that, it would lead to something else.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s better than having it collide with a fighter jet.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

Practicing backdrops on the ice isn’t that difficult, is it?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since I’m an amateur, isn’t a regular jump or pair lift quite dangerous too?

I think so.
