I‘ve noticed that I‘m also super scared of going into loops with speed bc I‘m not that secure on the ice yet. My edge ends up slipping... I can see why it takes longer to stabilize loops, it takes good SS

I guess the reason why the BV of loops is lower is because it allows more pre-rotation than flips and lutzes? Not that it stops some jumpers from ridiculously prerotating their 4Lz and 4F... and I guess the difference becomes less and less significant as the rotations increase. I can see why the rotation speed of loops is lower than on flips and lutzes. there’s no toe pick moment to help boost angular momentum

now that I am trying them myself I have so much more respect for loops

I just can’t get any height on them

Hmm seeing how Yuzu skipped TE it gives me the impression that these 6ish extra days of practice are pretty significant so the layout may actually depend on them... although I also have issues believeing the layout would still be uncertain at this point I think it’s possible.

The 4Lz wasn't even fully stable before the injury, he only had one opportunity to test it in competition and also, it affected the 4Lo. He probably had all his hands full with recovering all his other jumps so I wouldn't conclude he has a mental block or anything. He simply didn't have enough time to get it back

Actual news about Yuzuru‘s condition

Hey guys, I just want to remind you that discussions about skaters other than Yuzu that are not even tangentially related to Yuzu may be held in the General Skating Chat or the team threads. For example discussions about Nathan‘s looks may go into the Team USA thread. Thanks! https://planethanyu.com/topic/59-team-usa/

it's harder to control a forward fall when you're tripping on a toe pick... but getting caught on an edge and falling right on your tailbone (and possibly your head hitting the ice) is still the worst kind of fall

you actually fell??? falling on a bunny hop sounds really cute
