If anything, the leap looks like the ones used to drop into camel or sits spins, based in leg position. The difference is Yuzu's upper body is upright. We may indeed be looking at a new move. In summary, I think we're in for an explosion of creativity and joy from him.

Tissues? I think we're going to need smelling salts...whiskey...and maybe an ambulance on call for the truly dead... I predict swooning, lots of swooning...

My thighs are burning just thinking about it. To go from such a crouched position to a leap then hold the axis of a spin...ouch.

Please no...wait. Now that it's Legs Appreciation Spin, maybe that would be sort of okay. Like, there's a view...😉

Yuzu doing Rite of Spring? That would be awesome. But in all honesty, I hope his programs take a lighter turn after this. I'm wowed and moved by dramatic Yuzu, but I adore bouncy happy have-fun-with-the-audience Yuzu.

He looks like the most Puckish of elves here...about to get up to mischief and troll the world...

Agreed. Although I doubt that'd stop him, if he wanted to do it. Also consider that he probably can't just pop the 4A out of nowhere like he does with 3A and that he's already mentioned that the FS is a lot 'busier and harder' at 4min. Just based on potential time constraints alone, I could be convinced that the SP might be Nessie territory.

You really think it'll show up in the SP?

I know I would after spending a day in his presence.

The forum is so quiet tonight. Guess everyone is catching their breath after the whirlwind of the last 24 hours.

Well, if you think about it, both Johnny and Plushy had kind of long, mullet-y hair when they did their programs so.... ... I said it first. Yuzu mullet by the time the GPF rolls around. I mean, Jason went short so someone has to go long, right?

They both look so serious. I confess I'm not only looking forward to Yuzu's programs, but to all the TCC skaters this year. I really want to see how being there has affected Jason's skating and I can't wait to see Zhenya, she was already looking different and better during the ice shows so I suspect I'm gonna be wowed.

In one of the clips today, he specifically said these programs were meant to go back to his beginnings for a new start. Basically I took that to mean "forget the last eight years, now just watch THIS!"... instead of meaning 'hey I think I might be r-wording'.

Our boy has a good point there. No point doing it if there's room for people to diss his execution of it. And by the way, I've just officially given up on trying to keep up with this thread. twelve hours ago it was at 38 pages...now it's 56...I can't do it, I tried but the rest of my life also needs my attention...

I would love to see Yuzu do that kind of "fast feet" thing. He hasn't done anything like that since H,ILY.

That last bit. *Jumps for Joy*

She probably took it in stride, then went home asking herself "Why me?"

He absolutely did that. But does anyone else find it just slightly weird not to see Javi gliding by in the background? I do. Feels like something's missing.

He looks healthy, happy, and even a little bit tanned. I'm pleased.

Looks like he has plenty of room to draw in his arms and tighten up to produce a faster rotation and get that extra revolution in...at least to my amateur eye...

I'm not sure that he is this time. I think he's being honest. He's simply planning to drop a 4A on our heads sometime soon, and it's nice of him to warn us in advance, so we can order our wigs before our hair falls out completely...

And thank God for that. Anyway, my thoughts on the music: I'm willing to trust Yuzu on the Nijinsky, and I know he'll make his SP awesome whatever the music is, but I can't help feeling a bit disappointed that he went for yet another classical piano piece for it, especially right after doing Chopin. I was hoping for a complete change of genre and tempo etc. That being said, I know he'll make something good with it, so I will await ACI with hope.

Talk about pressure...it's like Yuzu deliberately goes out and looks for it. So extra though.

It's not good to speculate about this. Yuzu is on the record as saying he would have done whatever it took...even if it caused him further injury.

be optimistic. Yuzu is finally free to spend the next four years skating any dang way he pleases...you think he's going to let an opportunity like that pass?
