Nintendo's next big coup: I wouldn't be surprised, if that game actually came out within the next four years #hanyuconomy

Same thought It must be so annoying, if your game character cannot jump as high, distant and technically divine as you

Yes, I think the blog is a clever solution that gives him the possibility to interact with his fans, talk about himself and still avoid the contact with antis and hate.

I would celebrate so hard, if Yuzu, Boyang and Misha set the three highest scores in this GP series. Please boys, do your best and reestablish the good old 15/16 standards.

Plus he is the only one with a fully rotated quality 4Lo at the moment. I would even go that far that he has the best 3A, 4T and 4S in the current men's field as well. His success rate and raw GOE on these jumps is still superior to everyone else (apart from the two errors in Saitama his 4S was insane over the last two seasons).

Hihi, I don't use any make-up either However, without a dryer I would probably lie with a cold in my bed everyday. My hair is so extremely thick and multilayered that it takes me 50-60 minutes to dry it even in the hottest summer...

Love this spin!!! Is it new? I've never seen it before. I'd really like to call this feature "elevator-spin" Technically this would count as a valid CCoSp with travelling camel entry, aye? So he could use it in competition...

I agree with @rockstaryuzu that with 6 different types of quads Yuzu is more flexible in his program layouts and can adapt better to poor ice conditions, opponents etc. However, varying your layout multiple times during the season could lead to more mistakes, too. When you have so many things to focus on, it might be clever to stick with one A plan plus recovery options and build up on that. Yuzu has done that during the 15/16 and 16/17 season and it worked quite well. I think what he needs next season is a clean competition first of all to slowly up his GOE and PCS back to Barcelona '15 level. His last totally flawless free program was two years ago in Helsinki. For the last fully clean competition you have to go back a full cycle to Barcelona '15. ISU of course can rob you even with clean skates, but they have less options overall

I think, when Yuzu talks about 20%, his criteria checklist looks something like this: Success rate (number of fully rotated jumps with +GOE quality per total attempts) isolated with n laps preparation embedded in choreo with standard setup with Spread Eagle entry with Back Counter entry with other ridiculous entry before/ after the 2:00 mark YOLO-rate in total Quality features truly difficult, unexpected AND creative entry exemplary take-off (ideally with delay, 0 pre-rotation and clean picking in case of toe jumps) excellent height AND distance AND ballistic trajectory very good body position with rocksolid axis, aesthetically pleasing arm position and nice facial expression in the air very good landing with high free leg, ideal knee bend, deep running edge AND flow out truly difficult AND creative exit with huge long gliding curve soft and effortless throughout jump matches the music in timing/ rhythm, choreographic highlighting AND narrative meaning camera friendly from every angle Energy/ efficiency average preparation time average recovery time stamina demand (in kcal) sweat level (in drops/ cm2) The spooky thing is: that might not be too far away from reality

Yuzu's checklist for the next three practice months: jump practice (4A, 4Lz, 4F, 4Lo, 4S, 4T+3A,...) muscle, stamina and balance build up working on choreo and performance skills working on everything else that has not been mentioned but is necessary for the 'total package'. Status: busy.

Agree. It's good as it is. We had our chuckle and could enjoy the fanboy in Max again. But it shouldn't cause Yuzu any trouble. That would be very bad. For him, for us and the sport, too.

Max is celebrating the elegant shade, too Edit: The original tweet that Max had referred to, has been deleted. So it didn't make any sense for Max to keep a post with a defective link and he deleted his own, too. My guess why the original post has been deleted: Yuzu's words have been paraphrased to make the indirect shade clearer. However, it was unfortunate to put it into quotation marks. That could've backfired to Yuzu and caused him trouble. That's my guess at least.

It's not even that subtle actually "Skating is scored by judges who each have their own criteria, and different ideas on what performance and other components mean" Yep, who needs a handbook and guidelines... Edit: I really celebrate his attitude. Not lamenting over the scores, the system, the technical evolution. Yuzu wants to give his answer on the ice, convince with quality and simply force the judges into top scoring.

The typical inner conflict of J4:

Okay so in ~8 hours there will be the Sports&News featuring the 4A infos? I'm a bit confused with the timezones. The Infotweet says 23:55-24:55 JST

That includes that he doesn't use KOSE/Sekkisei either Edit: He said that he will try hard with skin care in the future... uhm... Tbh he looks perfect as he is, it can only get worse imo

Thank you! Not stellar quality, but it works well on my tablet. If I could understand Japanese, it would be perfect

Do we know, where exactly we can find the livestream on their Insta?

Last season he didn't even go for max. BV, as we could see with the 4T+3A sequence What I realized once more is that Yuzu never lets his programs go really. Even with mistakes he sells everything and skates his heart out. We could see that with Masquerade, we could see that in his Olympic freeskates and many other performances, too. I've rewatched his last performances from Skate Canada 2016. They were better than I remembered, especially the freeskate deserved more than 88 in PCS imo. Especially when I see what kind of programs get 88 nowadays...

Sorry for the double post, but this is just too hilarious. Has this been shared somewhere already? Miki and Shizuka singing along with Masquerade

Yeah!!! I've been waiting for a high quality video of that EX since forever. Thank you OC!! Hihi Olympic Channel is in fanmode again

The crazy thing is: you may do all steps right and still miss the final in that ladies' field...

I'm curious, if we get to know something new about the 4A status/progress in this broadcast. He said that he practiced it before FaOI, but sprained his left ankle 10 days before Makuhari or sth like that...? That's all I remember. Do we know anything else about Nessie? The only footage I remember of him attempting a 4A was at FaOI 2015 in his prototype Seimei costume, aye?

And there we go. Successful 4Lz in Kobe, 4F attempts in Toyama, mentioned 4A practice before FaOI For me this smells a little bit like Beijing preparation... I don't believe that Yuzu puts so much effort into his technical upgrade for just one more season. But... who knows...
