Have waited so long, and now it's here, his 4S! I didn't expect to see it that early. So proud

Agreed, GOAT!!
I'm a little bummed about what’s going on with the crazy PCS inflation for US skaters. It’s leaving an “icky” feeling I can’t shake. It’s hard to see FS as a sport when there are no standards for judging.
I think I’ll just wait for Yuzu to skate again in shows and then next season, otherwise I’m losing all interest in non-Yuzu competitions and FS in general.
So, you're saying sport is defined by judges.... This doesn't make any sense to me. Sport is everything where people have to form their body, are physically active and in form. That for me is the definition of sport.

He won silver with a gold-worthy performance, he couldn't do much more. It wasn't like in Boston or Shanghai. That's why this is the most beautiful silver in my eyes, the rest of the world saw it. It's kind of like Yuna Kim's silver in Sochi. It underlines his status as the GOAT even more. Just amazing!
Hope he won't retire and that kuyashii will continue to burn and he tries it again next year

It will, because fans are free people and can make their own decisions
But maybe this person wants that people stop cheering for him, well, these people spent a lot of money to get there, maybe they should just stay at home the next time

His 4S is now like his best scored jump, who would've thought this 4 years ago

That statement is just meaningless. First, he is a person, just like other actors, or singers, or performers are. And human beings have the right to have privacy, and their own space. It's obvious how chasing someone you don't personally know (as much as chasing someone you do know) is wrong and it violates basic human rights. Because it is not particularily violent, of course, it's not like people should get arrested. But it's a way to be violent, nontheless. It's physical violence because it literally feels like the poor guys has no room to breathe, and it's phsychological violence because what would happen if he actually stopped? And, say, started signing some autographs? He would never get out of there. But he is an athlete, so these things really are not his duty. He deserves freedom to concentrate, to be relaxed, to be focused. We are lucky because he is able to block out whatever upsets him, and take energy from the human support he gets, even when it gets overboard. Yuzu is very wise, so I wouldn't expect anything different from him.
Doesn't make chasing him any less crazy and sick.
I don't get why someone would call him a "fantasy character"
Anyway, I'm just saying it how it is. All the drama here won't change that. He is a star and he should know by now how things are

People were chasing him? Why am I both unsurprised and disappointed.
Pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but that isn't okay. Yuzu isn't some fantasy character, he's an actual human being. Let the man have his space.
Why "fantasy character"? He is a star, that's how stars are treated

Because of one of the preceding interviews I think it probably useful if we come up with some sort of character that represents 'injury', a monstrous sort that is always threatening Yuzu but is fought off by Yuzu with the aid of his loyal contingent of Pooh, Nessie and GOAT. They are Yuzu's bodyguards and they are the ones protecting or rescuing Yuzu whenever he is threatened or held captive by the 'injury' monster. So does anybody have some ideas of what 'injury' should be called and what 'injury' looks like?

Dvořák is nice, the New World Symphony is probably not well suited for skating though. It's calming. Like very very calming. I know he would do magic with it, but most of the audience would probably die of boredom...
Smetana could have some interesting pieces. (I am curious, what would Yuzu do with The Bartered Bride Overture...)
It seems as if people only know the New World Symphony , but Dvorak has so many great music pieces, how about his slavonic dances?

Personally, I wouldn't be able to choose between Italy and France, if I could visit only one of them. Luckily for me, I had enough opportunity to travel to both countries few times. I think Yuzu should see both. (But I suppose he would be interested more in the state of ice rink, than nature. Nature's turn is after he is done with skating.)
And to brag some more... Prague is not so bad - it has pretty much whole Central Europe combined in several meters. So if Yuzu has a hard time choosing, I would suggest to come here.
I liked Prague.
Between Italy and France, i prefer France, i have really nice memories on my time there

Don’t you think they can enjoy the music in isolation from the culture that produced it and perhaps take from it something that is different? I get fed up with the Piaf Vie en Rose - I’d like someone with a bit of vim to use Grace Jones version which is radically different - but it’s the same basic music.
Some people say no- or at least certain people are not allowed to do it
It was perfectly fine that Rika Hongo skated to Riverdance, but god forbid Davis/White skate to Bollywood. So much for "equality" ... People just look for problems everywhere

Oh God! You are so right! Now I won't have peace until I see him do a paso... You are so cruel!!!!
By the way, maybe it is an unpopular opinion, but I've seen Daisuke skating to Tango de Roxanne and I hated it. I think spanish music (and maybe other culturaly distinctive music) is not very much suited for asian skaters (I don't mean it in a bad way, just my opinion). Ok, Shoma looks kind of good with his new program and I was really surprised to see him like that.
So I was quite in shock when I found out that Yuzu skated to Zigeunerweisen and I thought it has to look strange... Then I watched the original and the CiONTU version and I was amazed!!! Yuzu can truly pull off everything! And his 2004 Novice program is the same case for me. How is it possible? He would be able to skate as a blond Disney princess, wouldn't he? No one would even realize he is not at all blond...
(Edit: I realize that Zigeunerweisen is not a spanish music. Maybe it is badly written. Those two Yuzu's programs I think belong to the culturally distinctive music choices.)
Why should saying that something doesn't suit to someone be a "bad thing"?

Hello, dear Yuzuru fans!
I became a Yuzu fan after OG18. I hadn't watched figure skating for 8 years but olympic Seimei changed everything for me. I started to watch a lot of competitions from previous seasons and finally I bought a tiket to Rostelecom Cup 2018.
So please, don't start to hate me because of my question
My question is about 2 jump combinations in Yuzu's SP and FS programs. Russian commentators Tatiana Tarasova and Alexey Yagudin (on two separate channels) mentioned that 4T+3T in SP was slightly under-rotated. As I understand if under-rotation is equival or more 90% a base value of combination should be decreased. As I can understand the same sitiation was with 4S+3T.
I'm not professional judge of course. I respect Yuzu so much and really happy for him. I just want to be sure that his scores were really fair
Could you please share with me your opinion? I made a research on this forum but did't find any relevant discussion.
4T+3T in SP (you can decrease a speed of video on Youtube)
https://youtu.be/h-7rZ4G1f0w (05:32)
4S+3T in FS
https://youtu.be/23EfsN7vEOA (07:15)Maybe we should check out how much rotated Shoma uno's jumps are- and how fair his scores are. Oh, wait, nobody is doing it because certain people can do whatever they want. Whatever

And Yuzu tried quad lutz and loop when Nathan and Boyang started becoming quadsters. And yuzu tried harder to catch up. Whereas Patrick was too arrogant and took it easy, not accepting the fact that Yuzu was a major threat and that he was in fact competing against a future Figure Skating legend prodigy.
Yuzuru was practicing the 4 Lo and 4Lz already in 2014/15
-
His interviews are the reason why he is so hated- and why he could never be as popular as Yuzuru, even if he would win olympics

Ah Patrick... he will forever be funny

This was not Arina's worlds. That's what i call bad luck

Linoy , Halkina, Averina's, they're all great, but my queen is Yana Kudryavtseva

I didn't watch ladies before this season, so now I looked at the warmup, blinked, asked myself what Marin was doing there and went to take a look at the kineup to make sure Marin wasn't actually there, lol.
