He will win CoR, believe me.

After all these years watching FS I know what I am talking about. Orser understands Yuzuru's peak condition very well. He will manage it so Yuzuru will peak right at the Olympic. And after all these years watching FS I am telling you, those who go out full in the early season might lose their breath soon when it's needed the most. The season is long and there will be many obstacles. What matters the most will be several minutes at the Olympic, not here.

Yes I would say Orser is trying to delay Yuzuru's peak as much as possible for the Olympic. We might not see a clean back to back Yuzuru for the whole season until Olympic. Believe in him.

lol I think Orser didn't expect Yuzuru to mess this badly. Orser just tried to delay Yuzuru's peak and to stop him from overworking his body so it's all good. Yes it's a messy skate but: 1) it's autumn classic, just a senior B, it doesn't matter that much especially when you see the tech specialist tried to kill all the Flip it's so funny not serious as people think. 2) it's important to delay his peak and take it easy for now. I think the fandom should be more worried if he went all out. I am sure if Yuzuru were allowed to jump 4lz and 4Lo in this competition, he would have won. Reading his interview and we see through that. He needs challenges and challenges fire him up. Orser wants to save that challenges for later. 3) the goal is to peak at Olympic, not here. I am sure his health in general is very good, but his slight pain in the right knee might lead to bigger problems if he went all out with all gun blazing, all quads landed etc, it might cause strains on his body. 4) the media hype might go up to the other side of the galaxy if Orser allowed Yuzuru to go for all quads here, so let them die down a bit. in short, it's good he wasn't allowed to go all out, and it's good because he will stay in Toronto for long for the rest of the time.

Reading his interview, It's indeed a good move of Orser to stop Yuzuru from doing 4lz and 4lo for this competition. Knowing Yuzuru, I am afraid had Orser not been there, Yuzuru might have jumped 4lz and 4lo in the beginning and won this competition with a bang. The media hype will be much much bigger and it's no good for the long run. He might push himself too much and it might affect his knee. No one wants a bad free skate, of course everyone prefers that he wins but after all this is just a senior B, this messy skate also means it delays his peak then I am all good. He will bring 4lz and 4Lo to CoR because that's what he is!!

Yuzuru will be fine and he will win Olympic again. and the skaters whom most people think will do well might not do that well. I don't want to name them here. Just believe me.

Being his fans for years, I kinda give up to the pattern. I mean... knowing him... this is just the Yuzuru we all know and love. Breaking records yesterday and making some mess the next days. When he said he wanted to raise the average and be like Zhenia Medvedeva... I chucked a bit. I have said many times he can't be like her. Really, people are born with their true nature and I never see anyone changing that. The point is he will take all of this as some lessons and turn it into advantage in the most important moments. He did it at GPF 2015, WC 2017, he can do it again. He will be fine, as long as he is healthy, he will find a way to win big. The rest is just dust in the wind.

Well I guess I am the only one who feels relieved? Didn't I say something a while ago if he did too well in his first competition of the season I would be scared? now this is ok. Let him go back to Toronto and heal his knee properly. He will be fine by Cup of Russia.

Yes if you look at the protocol.. the specialists might be like: "This freaking jump gave me so much headache when I was practicing it, I have to punish it as much as possible!!! Kill all the Flip!!" Yuzuru survives that lmao, only the ! So it's good... poor Javi he got e call for the Flip, Mai too. And their Flip have correct inside edge I am sure.

The technical specialist of this event hates the Flip. Everyone is getting e call for the Flip. Javi and Mai too. And I assure you their Flip edge are fine (it's their Lutz should get !) I would say Yuzuru's flip is fine. There is no problem with it. The problem is the specialists hunt down all the Flip lol. If Yuzuru only gets ! For the flip here, he is perfectly fine everywhere.

Lol I am actually fine with that, Yuzuru will never care for the hype of Japanese especially when most of his time is in Toronto. Let Japanese media hype the unreliable status. Yuzuru will win Olympic and they run after him like crazy. Been there done that.

NHK 2015 and GPF 2015 have proven that he can do well both SP and LP cleanly and place first in both SP and LP... but he has to be the one who goes last. This time he skated 3rd again so his mentality might not be prepared enough. Oh well.. but he has to learn. No one is going to let him skate last every time. Strangely I am not mad at him, if it were me last year I would be like: "People better protect Hanyu or I might strangle him right now and feed him to my cat!!!!" But this year I am just: "It's Yuzuru, and his true nature will never change so... meh..."

If I were Japanese media Who are truly worried for Yuzuru I would be happy actually. The last time his LP scored this low was NHK 2014 and he won GPF 2 weeks after that with stellar performance.

It's the big screen at Shibuya, a very crowded downtown place in Tokyo... I feel a bit scared.

They even announced it in the big CM screen in Japan it seems

FSuniverse people are complimenting Yuzuru and it scares me a bit as you know usually he doesn't exist in their eyes...

Quoting myself because I am a witch...

Tessa and Scott are on my list too. Their SD costumes hurt my eyes.

Have you seen Javi's SP costume? Literally what you will see in your aunt's wardrobe. I will feed him to my cats first.

I actually was ok with all the rumors flying around and thought they're false this and that but then I saw he messed the whole practice RT I got worried that those rumors might have some point. But again, they're anonymous and more likely they're troll. If anything maybe a bad practice was just because of fatigue due to lack of training, as he skipped practice for several days, not because of his knee. Of course it's very rare for him to mess all jumps in a run through, it's still possible he will do perfect in competition.

Sometimes they're not so far from the event but yeah, even if he practice bad the whole year, what really counts is the time he competes so let he messes all he can in practice. Maybe he will have a flawless SP now that his practice is a mess.

I don't take their words as 100% but at the same time... it's kinda worrying right now when I saw his practice when he messed all 3 jump passes. Those folk's words were really bad. It's very rare to see this happens. but anyway he can still skate clean his SP who knows...

He just had the worst SP run through ever, messed up all 3 jump passes. It looks like his landing knee is not strong enough or so... I feel a bit worried of his knee. I truly hope that the Chinese anonymous forum words are fasle now.

I guess he's still sore a bit. The Chinese so-called insider in the pink forum didn't say if he's still hurt or not, but their words were quite negative. So I won't quote it here. It seems they think his condition wasn't good. That's why my friends were so worried to see his first practice. It's not his best but not a disaster so it's a relief.

Chinese forum said Yuzuru skipped practice for like 1 week or so... maybe he still hit the gym to maintain his muscles who knows. But apparently his right knee is very important so it's not worth the risk of doing all the quad jumps. Hopefully it's just some light pain that will go away soon.
