But they do shower excessive compliment for other skater, just that they also double down on the negative stuff for Yuzu. My problem with this podcast is that they influence what other people think about Yuzu, and i've seen some antis use their words. I just wish for them to be more fair. If they want to complain about GOE, what about Nate's who they were talking about literally a second ago (for example that video of both of them doing the exact turn out of the jump but one getting positive goe instead and sooo many more) or even Nam who was getting candies left and right? I'm not saying Yuzu should be free from criticism, but if you want to complain about GOE shouldn't you complain about everyone else's too to be fair? They're creating the narrative of Yuzu being overscored in GOE just because of that combo when literally OTHER SKATERS have been scored like that for a while (overscored in GOE) but they never say anything about it.

Yeah I was really surprised since I followed ITL on twitter and I thought some complains were exaggerated but they really did just keep talking about his too high goe (like seriously have you even see his competitors goe and pcs??? And you want complain about yuzu's???) Without saying anything nice about his program. I'll be fine if they actually speak like this about all the competitors, but they're just focusing on his mistakes while praising everyone else.

Speaking of podcast, please don't give ITL the views or click. They've been calling Yuzuru overscored without even backing up their arguments with the rules, and complaining about him looking down all the time which is??? Basically they keep praising other skater to high heavens or saying they will improve and all but with Yuzuru he's just overscored (when they don't even say anything about his other compeitors' goe and pcs inflation). Yuzuru. Who actually design his jumps to ticks the other goe bullets even if its wonky.

I was at ACI and I sit in front of the Canadian group like Nam for the FS, and I felt like my eardrums were going to fall off because they were trying so hard to compete in cheering, they would constantly shout "GO KEEGAN" even when he wasn't doing anything, and would even cheer louder for him when people were cheering for Yuzu. The audience in my area will also constantly cheer for anyone who skated in front of us, the loudest cheers were for Camden, Kevin, Jun, and of course Keegan. The random cheer you heard might not be for Yuzu, but for ANYONE who jumps. For the short program I sat in a different area, specifically behind a group of people who would cheer for everyone EXCEPT for Yuzu, some lady was even talking crap about him, saying he's regressing as a skater. In Japan National this year, there are tweets spreading around saying they are going to boo or distract Yuzu when he's skating, and there has been proof of it happening in the past. So yeah, I find no problem in cheering for Yuzu especially when I witness first hand what other skaters' fans did when all we do is being supportive for every skater even if we are cheering louder for Yuzu.
