I like how Yuzuru once said he wants to be a skater with the qualities of both Johnny Weir and Plushenko. They're very different skaters but Yuzuru does not limit himself. Expand And he's succeeded. We wouldn't have all that controversy otherwise... Link to comment
Murieleirum Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Okay so. I've seen this video shared on tumblr from twitter and I had never seen it before. I don't know from which competition it is. But then, as I was watching the footage of Yuzu trying out the 4S+3T in LGC, I see him doing a move right after the 3T, right when Prince says 'go crazy', which is absolutely amazing, but which I've never seen in competition! Am I just delusional or did he never put that move in Competition, during the season? I only know I will watch this video on repeat for days because that move is just. Woah. It's just a small detail, but the way he does this during practice... never seen it before. Link to comment

Expand It was probably planned, but the 4Sal curse didn't give him time to put it after a step-out or fall... LGC is a program that doesn't allow and doesn't forgive any mistakes - meaning, if you lose even half a second, every other thing will be out of tune with the music. A level of accuracy that other skaters only dream of. I wish I could have seen it more times as well Link to comment

The reason why Yuzuru dominates isn't just his perfect jumps - it's because he's got everything else too. Basically, he's just too good at everything to be beaten with anything less than a bazzillion of quads. Blaming Yuzuru because he's just too good? WTF. Expand Yuzu's quad thirst is causing figure skating to die! Because Nathan Chen's skating sucks! - basically that confession Link to comment

It was quite interesting but that comment about the last masculine skater was just Anyway could any of these people who call Yuzuru "feminine" and "fragile" imagine how much strength of body and mind is necessary to jump a quad?

Though I don't know how someone could think doing 4 rotations in under a second MULTIPLE TIMES and landing with 4(?) times their weight is feminine but that's just me? Expand I remember someone (whose name or face I cannot recall) saying that if you asked big masculine NHL professional hockey players to skate full speed the length of the rink and then jump in the air to rotate four times, they would look at you like "Are you out of your f**king mind?"

Murieleirum Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 They count on his "special aura" the photographers talk a lot about, to lure in innocent people into the magazines shop and buy all of the Ice Level copies! Link to comment
