Also, having multiple layouts is part of his strategy for dealing with unexpected things like bad ice conditions or a problem on a jump early in the program and so on. Part of why Yuzu wins so much is because he's a magician at disaster recovery - think of all the times he YOLO'd jumps into his programs to save his score when he had issues early on. The reason he's able to do that is because he practices different layouts. So I doubt we'll ever see him bring a program where he only uses one definitive layout the whole season long. Yes, exactly.

He's always under pressure so what difference does it make? Anyway, a lighter program doesn't necessarily have to be 'fun' - it could be something cool and stylish and modern, instead - something like Stephane's 'Please Don't Stop the Music' , only competition-ready, for example.

Go for broke, like he always does. Honestly it's tough to think about because there's no predicting what the season's going to look like in terms of competitions and so forth. But putting his all into it has worked so far. Beyond that, a clean 5 quad layout that he can actually complete without dying of exhaustion would be ideal. And I think he could use a change of mood in music, maybe go for something with a lighter touch. Maybe break away from the classical instrumentals.

Yes. It's really obvious in the earlier encores, where Yuzu is wearing rock-n-roll teen gear and doing his classical performances ( Etude in Vertigo threw me for a real loop.) For some reason it works better the other way 'round, when he's doing the rock programs in the fluttery flowy costumes. That's why Crazy Swan is so good. Such a thing would kill many many fanyus.

I know Makes your heart go thumpity-thump, doesn't it?

I wanna change my vote - Otonal in Seimei is really something else. You get to see how much he loves that step sequence - just throws himself into it with such joy.

That's actually a pretty gorgeous axel in itself...love how Yuzu inspires other people to excellence everywhere

And no doubt his streamlining would be AMAZING! But I think he's said in an interview that he can't swim...

This made me laugh an unreasonable amount...love it! Although I suspect that if Yuzu went to the Summer Olympics as a competitor, his sport would be baseball. Boy loves to pitch, as poor Mr. Koala can attest

Unless you're like Keegan and live in a place that's cold enough to have an outdoor rink well into the spring, your chances of having ice time are pretty small these days. Japan doesn't seem to have closed rinks yet, but I'm thinking that if they can't make the switch to roller blades for now, most skaters will be SOL for a long time.

I'll be at work, but I will stop by every now and again for the fun

1. Any encore with LGC 2. Crazy Swan & Ghana LGC 3. Would love to see Origin 2.0 Walkways or Origin 2.0 Masquerade Come to think if it, Origin 2.0 is practically made for Masquerade. Just imagine how dramatic it would look! I have to admit I really love Yuzu's dark drama costumes the most. They're all beautiful but when he brings the drama, my heart goes 'thump-thump!'

Did anyone else watching this think, "I bet he does that at home with his Poohs" , like I did?

It's really so sad. Our nursing/retirement homes are being hard hit with this virus...so many grandmothers and grandfathers lost. My condolences for the Marinaro family.

I feel the same.

Don't we ever....I hope he's doing all the prudent things to protect himself.

So true! Perfectly captures the fanyu experience

I see this and all I can think is " Yuzu, please wear sunscreen! " He has to look after that beautiful skin because he's a beauty blogger now...

Yeah, I'm so jealous of him right now. Winter ended way too soon here

Based on the comments for that picture, looks like it was an earlier trip.

Watch Keegan hit a double axel on natural ice...in hockey skates. @Veveco I sure hope not.

Looks like Kurt has taken to entertaining the neighbors! This is a very famous performance of his, made for a TV special in the 90s: https://twitter.com/KurtBrowning/status/1244813971422613506?s=20

Hmm, a new sport during this drought? Maybe we could race virtually, online.

I meant the horse in the picture, but yes.
