Yes. Yuzu sprained his ankle a lot of time, but, he was able to have a long career. Eteri's girls are suffering really bad injuries.

I check for everyone the biggest improvement. Sotnikova's PCS grew of 4.78 points in the SP in 3 months between the 2013 Trophéè Bompard and the Olympic Games. For the women, the factorization is 0.80. With the men's factorization (1.00), it would have been 5.98 points. In the same 3 months, her PCS in the FS grew of 9.76 points. Using the men's factorization, it would have been 12.20 points. Chen's PCS in the SP grew of 5.79 points in 4 months, between the 2016 Finlandia Trophy and the 2017 Four Continents Championships. In the same 4 months, his PCS in the FS grew of 14.00 points. Hanyu's PCS in the SP grew of 4.97 points between 2012 WC and 2012 Skate America. There are 6 and half months between the two competition. And it was off season, when they have time to work on skating skills, not during the competition period, when it's more difficult to learn new things. Also, he had changed his training rink, and I suspect that Tracy Wilson can teach skating skills better than Nanami Abe (I'm not criticizing Nanami, she was wonderful, but Tracy was a world class athlete, I suspect that she knows things Nanami never learned, at least if we are talking about skating skills). Hanyu's PCS in the FS grew of 7.22 points in one year, from 2012 GPF to 2013 GPF. Hanyu's PCS grew in a more normal way. He was not the favourite of his federation, and JSF is not used to aid his skaters in the same shameless way the Russian and American federations aid their skaters (except for Takahashi, but anyway...)

Are we ever gonna get the video section back? Please just let us know. Thank you.

I would be thankful for this list. Better than to guess. There are so many different stories out there

Sorry for the late reply. What I meant is that the way a new prodigy skater’s PCS can skyrocket within just a few months, and the way the gap in PCS between the previous prodigy and the new one appears in the ladies’ field, feels very similar to what happened with Yuzu and Nathan. Another thing I learned from those two videos about the women’s field is that pre-rotation is harmful not only to the fairness of competition, but also to the skaters’ bodies. Skaters who pre-rotate begin turning their upper bodies before their blades leave the ice. Repeatedly twisting the body that way puts enormous stress on the back and spine. Medvedeva, for example, reportedly suffered serious back problems because of this technique. The videos also mentioned several Eteri skaters whose careers were cut short by severe back injuries at a very young age. Pre-rotation, incorrect take-off edge, and full-blade take-offs on toe jumps such as the Lutz and Flip are all signs of insufficient strength and flawed technique. Without enough strength and proper mechanics, skaters do not have enough time in the air to complete the rotations needed. With correct jumping technique, the skater’s face stays aligned with the direction of the skate, which reduces unnecessary twisting and helps avoid back and spine injuries. Yuzu’s jump coach, Ghislain Briand, explained in this interview (https://youtu.be/G9eEhkmfHrc) that his training approach takes longer to show results, but it is designed to support a longer career rather than produce quick results at the cost of longevity. That is why Yuzu is still able to jump quads at 31. On the contrary, Eteri's cheating jumping technique allows skaters to shine early but only for a short amount of time.
