lol i came back to sleep but im not sleeping and im still procrastinating on my laptop. i guess i should have taken a longer shift but the concrete is slightly less comfortable than my soft bed

No 4Lz tomorrow. But 4Lz for every day after that

now that would be an ugly gold medal! still better than GPF '16

it's sooo cute when japanese ladies have yuzuru phone cases, lock screens and wallpapers. well, i also have all of those too but it's so cute when other people do.

Ok Brian....sure... lmao that emoticon... I didn't know that was a pancake at first, I thought it was an exploding almond or nut of some sort

LOL my Uber driver asked me about Yuzu without me having mentioned anything He was like "So who is this guy who is so amazing? What's his name?" Apparently he's been picking up fans to and from the rink the last couple of days. And I was like "His name is Yuzuru Hanyu...and yes, he is quite spectacular..." unfortunately, Yuzu doesn't always bring out the eloquent side of me

He doesn't need it. Yuzuru is smart. It's Autumn Classic, not the Olympics. I would obviously love to see it...first 4Lz in competition ever <3 but his health matters way more.

lol I imagine this is just a fraction of the pressure in Yuzu's life. Welcome to the pressure cooker.

You have a great track record, I'm gonna need some lottery numbers from you... I hope so. It's only the SP of the first competition, so we still have quite a whiles to go...but I hope so.

Right, and Yuzu said that he didn't care about beating Patrick/winning SC, and it was a good, mature decision

maybe he just grabbed the wrong ones? who knows he is an angel and an alien but sometimes angels grab the wrong skate guards too maybe im just right now

i hope it's ready

only with music choices, apparently

a cluster in the 66's. Wakaba's got a huge lead so far, haha.

lol he points to his head a lot, or makes the circle motion with his fingers.

but the more 2nd's he draws early on, the fewer he'll draw later right? because what's the probability of drawing all 2nd's? this is how probability works right? right?

I love it! But he won't use gold.

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....
