I wonder where the heck the photographer was, that they managed to capture him at such an angle!!!

Ohhhh yeahhhhh... definitely!

I've got to agree. However! However... Think of the power a Vertigo hiproll would have now, with all the oomph of a fully grown man ( instead of an innocent boy) behind it. The networks might just be forced to censor it...it would be too hot for TV.

Think of the entertainment value watching them try!

Nah, I was thinking the Jeff Buckley version. Actually, while we're on that topic, I think an ice show where the skaters swap programs and do each other's pieces would be really interesting.

No! No Carmen! Knowing Yuzu's luck, the curse of Carmen would strike him down at ACI. But Roxanne, now there's a possibility... I think Lady Marmalade would be great too. Or, ultimate troll level: Hallelujah.

I agree, Ice-chan is absolutely a tsundere.

Seconded!!! More Prince, please!

I kinda feel like that's what he did with Origin, tbh. If he does go with new programs next year, I hope he goes in a totally fresh direction that no one could expect or predict: Bossa Nova. Or he could go for maximum Trollzuru and do covers of his vanquished opponents' old programs, but make them way better. Although he might think that would be too mean-spirited to do.

Well, there's lots of inspiration to be had from Japanese sources as well. He could try doing something with shamisen.

As fun as that would be, there are so many pieces of music out there he could do. I totally want to see him bring a manga-inspired program to competition. I bet he could make something really striking out of Tokyo Ghoul. Or he could do some Rachmaninoff or Tchaikovsky. I think a Romantic composer would really suit him.

Just showed my mom Yuzu's ice scope 3A and she couldn't believe her eyes.

But he'd have to make a whole new music cut for the shorter time limit

Thanks.

And if he can skate, he should, just to keep his muscle tone and fitness, so that getting his jumps back won't be too hard.

What does Javi Raya even do? He seems to be everywhere, he skates nicely, but he's not in any big competitions or seniors yet?

I think all that kind of talk, not just for Yuzu but for all the athletes, is way too premature. Lots can happen in the next three years.

If an alien landed rinkside and was asked to tell how difficult different jumps were by watching Yuzu do them, they'd probably say 3A was the easiest one! And then you think about the 'top' skaters who can barely land a 3A to save their lives and it's like, what the heck gives?

What makes me laugh about that article is Todd Eldredge claiming that he and Elvis had a rivalry. Please! They were never even in the same league! But Todd got rewarded with high scores for skating 'classically' while Elvis always got spanked for trying to do new things and for pushing the athleticism of the sport. Reminds me of someone actually.

Whoever it is, they've been having the time of their lives writing about Yuzu. And the fanyus.

Well, I'm not surprised, ankles can be very tricky and he's beaten the hell out of his already. I hope this time marks the last time he decides to skate a competition injured, though. He's not doing himself any favours when he does that.

Seriously. When you look at that, you wonder why it's so hard for everyone else.

Doesn't he already do that?

Especially if you ask the age-finding app!!

Yuzu saying that made me laugh because he himself still has the aura of 'boy wonder' - even though, at the ripe old age of 24, he's squarely between the young'uns and the uncles. He's not a whippersnapper any more, but you can hardly put him in ojii-san territory yet.
