WinForPooh Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just now, Xen said: so subtle. I help tape and spot.a couple of the older guys here with their jumps, so when in trouble I whip out yuzu jump tapes, and they become converts to his clean technique. =D With casual watchers - who will be the majority during the Olympics - it's all about the spin. But not the spin on the ice. Anybody who has started really watching skating will see beyond the 'so many quads' hype. It's just one more than Yuzu now, anyway, it makes me grumpy. Hence my hand-waving dismissal and hyping of the axel, about as subtle as Nathan's triple axel landing. (I honestly have so much respect for him for getting the flip and the lutz right, it's unusual, but when it's war...) I'm sure skaters know technique when they see it, because if they don't get it right, they'll feel the bruises and the aches and pains. Link to comment

He must be soooo salty right now ! But, yes, Yuzu needs more world titles. He wants to be a legend, so I'm sure he knows he must stay a few more years to have the best palmares of all times. Although Sonia Henie and her 3 olympic titles and 10 world titles might be a bit hard to beat Link to comment

At what age did she win 1st Oly and Worlds lmao I need to google her asap. However, for guys I think there's no way to do that, especially now with all the quadfest aka splatfest lmao Link to comment
b138oo Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 so Yuzu did 3.72 rotations for his 4Lz bc he did 1340 degrees. Is that good for a toe jump? Link to comment

And then she had a great carreer as an actress in Hollywood. She was a real star. I would love if Yuzu became an actor too And she also was a bit of a nazi, but well... Link to comment

ymy Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Is there a possibility that yuzu is actually trolling us about staying after PC olympics? I mean I’m extremely happy of the news but he has been trolling us about 4Lz all summer long. Link to comment

If he says he wants to keep on competing it means he wants to keep on competing. Link to comment

He kept quiet about his layout for Olympic season and it is understandable, but I believe he sincerely wants to continue competing after PC. At the same time I think it was a good PR move to announce this (and his 4A intentions) now. Even Javi is not very clear about his possible r***t after PC. Link to comment

Like they're considered old in the sport but they still are the top contenders. Also, Yuzu once said that he would retire when he couldn't compete at his best anymore. Thus, I think maybe he still feels he has the potential to grow; he hasn't gone into a plateau stage where he can only go down from there. To think about it, when we compare his age to Pchan and Javi, Yuzu is still relatively young. However, he used to think he wanted to try something else in his life, thus the retirement after PC was kinda set before. I think the new quads generation makes him wants to stay. Before he probably thinks after PC, he doesn't have anything left to go after. His goal at PC is to win with great performances and create the decisive win results he mentioned in interview, bc we all know he wasn't satisfied with his Sochi performance. He probably thought after he could try to realize that goal, there would be nothing left to motivate him. However, now we have the glorious 4A, the jump in which he loves so much. So we should be thankful towards the quads crazy generation tbh to make 4A not a reaching goal to achieve for Yuzu. Link to comment

And don't forget 4F, please. Link to comment
