Actually, I think Yuzu does have standout area(s), in fact many of them. Maybe he has so many standout areas, it seems like he doesn't have any? 1. Jumping prowess: his quads (and 3A!) are more effortless than anyone else's jumps in the world. Boyang and Nathan have the 4Lz and/or 4F, probably their only advantage over Yuzu, but I dont think their jumps are more beautiful than Yuzu's. Yuzu's jumps are fast, effortless throughout, with extremely good air position, and transitions into and out of them. If the only thing that goes into jumping prowess is having a 4Lz or a 4F, then...well...I disagree. 2. Intense performances: I don't think Seimei is less intense than Loco. And it's quite a ways more intense than Winter or Turandot ATM. 3. Superior skating skills: I know Patrick has good skating skills, but (if you haven't already guessed), IMO Yuzu has almost as good skating skills and arguably as good -- their skating styles aren't exactly the same, so it's hard to compare, but Chopin showcases his deep edges, flow, and speed, and you just have to see how well he times every element and every turn with the music (which mind you changes speed like 50x) to realize what great control and skating skills he has. To me, it's way more attention grabbing than anything Patrick has done (he tends to skate to kind of similar, one-note music), but hey that's why I'm a Yuzu fan and not a Patrick fan. ...If Yuzu's level of skating skills/jumping prowess/intensity is not enough to grab a judge's attention, they probably didn't want to pay attention anyway. ETA: I'd also like to add: spins. Yuzu's spins are above and beyond everyone else's in the top 6.

I too think Yuzu has changed (who would have thought he was going to repeat 2 programs?). But likely (hopefully) it is a small injury and he's just giving us prior warning that we're not going to see the debut of 4Lz yet...

DEFINITELY

ow. although banging on the ice sounds like it would heal faster. hopefully it's just a bruise and all. i hope he hasn't been seriously practicing the 4F for this very reason. not in olympic season, please, zuzu. well, we all knew yuzu wasn't going to be 100% on top of his game the whole season. he will be there when it counts.

oh, oops.. i thought it was the same knee as his lisfranc. ...well now it's a different knee? ETA: it makes me feel a bit better to know he's not aggravating his lisfranc, it's a different knee.

all of those 4T's during the summer.... wrong knee.. ...i thought he was aware of his body and knew his limits but you know yuzu...he's not complaining about something just to complain about it....

i wish i were there

oh yes it will.

I like it! Lol. Simple, yes, and now that you mentioned the hanbok thing, that makes sense too.

And here it is when I unpacked it!

True, but this is by design - they were 1, 2, and 3 at worlds so they can't meet each other on the GP until the final.

flight attendant yuzu!!! can we see this please ANA?! *rings service bell nonstop*

COLLAR.

or any of his many records that year.

lol wut why are news outlets always sooo badly researched.

lol it looks like there's a problem with the image embedding sometimes with the new upgrade

HAHAHAHAHA omg

Yeah, I saw that after the skate. I was wondering what was going on, she looked injured or something. Amazing that she can get through her free skate yet be unable to get off the ice afterwards. Good for her.

Wow. So Yuzu is gonna go no gold but Shoma has piled on the gold. And they're both going to go for BLUE this season, because that's what Olympic Champions wear. Very subtle, guys I also prefer the front, and also wish his illusion mesh matched his skin color more!
