General Yuzuru Chat

[rockstaryuzu]

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of all the companies Yuzu has  endorsements and sponsorships with? There's Kose, Citizen, ANA, Ajinomoto, Ghana, that bedding company (I forget the name), Xylitol, Bathclin, P&G (but I think that's over), John Wilson Blades, EDEA Skates....am I missing any? 

 

And of course the continued failure of Under Armour to capitalize on his fondness for their gear. I hop they at least send him a free shirt or something, in appreciation for all he's done for them without even meaning to.

There's Phiten too? He got his precious toe socks

It seems the change of base values has been put on hold

Yep, they went back on their decisions since they deemed them ill-advised and ill-timed. No changes before the next Olympics.

Can you imagine a Yuzuru X Under Armour ad though? I saw a few UA ads featuring ballet dancer Misty Copeland and they look amazing! Imagine how epic would Yuzu’s ad look if he got something like this?

The bedding company is Nishikawa.

What was wrong about those changes? I do believe the base values for 4Lz, 4F, and 4Lo are not accurate.

[Sombreuil]

As a purist I would love it if judges could see the technicalities of jumps properly - correct edges, fully rotated landings etc, and also the bullet points for which to award extra marks- which I can’t at the moment remember, but they’re out there somewhere, and then, award the correct points for the jump, irrespective of flag, reputation, what they saw in practice,etc etc.  And of course the opposite for wrong edges etc....

 

But they don’t. 
 

So you might as well lump those three jumps together base points wise because the judges can’t tell the difference between a stiff scratchy low 4ltz, and that beast of Boyang Jin’s that tries to propel him out of the rink on a regular basis.

 

Someone - @rockstaryuzu? - said if they spent the time and money on tech to assist the judges to see all that stuff in my first paragraph they wouldn’t need to fiddle with the rule book at all a sentiment with which I wholeheartedly agree but can’t see happening in the near future.

Yes, making the base values of these three jumps the same would have made Yuzu more competitive with his quad loop.
