Per a translated tweet from pairs skater Maxim Trankov, Evan did a 4-3 combo during practice in Korea.

I just found this translation of the first tweet on FSU:

"OMG, it will be a battle in Sochi! Lysacek jumps 4toe-euler-3flip"

:cheer:

Hmm, let's see... my guess is... the stock market! :P

LLLLOOOVVVEE it!!

Music to my ears! It's guaranteed to be quite a monumental showdown in Sochi!

:lol2:

aaaaahhahahh Maxim LOOL :lol:


only one word ФИГАЧИТ :DDDDDDD IT'S CAN'T BE TRANSLATED
my gosh

Thank you, Jennimycricket. :)

GREAT JOB, Maxim!!! :thumbup:

:thankyou: for the tweet translation and the photo!! I'd say Evan is ready to "bring it" all the way to Sochi!! :victory: :1st: :clap:

Great photo!

These shows from Korea -- the Hyundai Card shows and now ATS -- are awesome for Evan pic/vid hoarders like myself! :B Lots of stuff today from the rehearsals & press conf. Check out the FS Multimedia and Picture sections. :)

http://elisir-contes.livejournal.com/167964.html watch the video ))) Evan is so funny here :lol:

:) Yeah Evan..... thank all of you for the tidbits and info!!!! I am so glad the quads are doing well.... I also read that Johnny Weir is working and training his quads as well. Evan will rock it in Sochi!!!!!!!!!! :skating: :skating2: :skating:

He really gets into it! Love this boy! :wub:

This is the TRUTH!

:thankyou: natashka for this link to the video. Evan does certainly look like he's having a great time on the ice. :skating2:

I also loved the mention of Evan's age in the translation. :)

Did you notice at the beginning when he was singing along? He does this quite a lot. Love to see his happy-go-lucky side!! thanks for posting. :hug:

IIRC, he did this to "Man in the Mirror" as well. :)

Here is an interview from Korea but the online translations are dreadful! :(

For some reason, Yahoo! Babelfish refused to translate it -- said the page was suspicious. :unsure:

Right before the Roxanne pic, there is a question about when Evan will compete again. He says something like "i don't know yet - the Grand Prix assignments have not been received yet - difficult to say." Or, that could be my glass-half-full interpretation of what he said. It could be something more noncommittal...

Anybody out there can offer a better translation?

That's the way I interpret it too, nightowl. I think he's saying he doesn't know when he'll compete because the assignments have not been given yet.

That's my take too. The assignments haven't been announced yet, so he literally doesn't know where he'll be competing.

I think his name on the list is proof he'll be assigned at least one. As OGM I'm sure it'll be more than one even tho' he's missed the last two competitive seasons.

We should know soon. The GP assignments will be announced 5/21. Since Evan did not compete last season, he is now unranked. Since Evan has no ISU ranking, there are two ways he can qualify for the GP:

1. Under the ISU provision for 'comeback' skater. Evan meets the criteria of a comeback skater b/c of his prior placement at Worlds. Under this provision, Evan would qualify for 2 GP assignments. The catch is that a skater can use the comeback provision one time. Some argue that Evan used it last season to get 2 GP assignments (SA & TEB) and thus, is precluded from using the provision again to qualify for 2 GP assignments. The counter argument is that he did not use the comeback provision last year b/c Evan's ISU ranking last year would have guaranteed him one GP assignment (TEB) in addition to the USFSA 'host pick' (SA). If the ISU concludes that Evan used the comeback skater provision last season, then he will not get 2GP assignments in 2012-13. (in one article re: the GP announcement last season, Evan was referred to as a comeback skater; however, it is unclear if that was the official ISU position)

2. If Evan cannot use the comeback skater provision, USFSA can select him as a 'host pick' for Skate America.
