General Yuzuru Chat

And now yet more pages have disappeared! We will never get to 2000... 

 

But the 3As made me miss the only thing I had scheduled for today, so... it’s a good day.

Since we're axel obsessed right now, here's a table of Yuzuru's axel evolution.  It's incomplete data since when he started as a novice they still used 6.0. Also, I'm sure I wasn't able to check ALL his competitions. Note that there are times when he's a novice but gets invited to compete for juniors. Also, novice levels only perform free skates.

Interesting notes:

1. He did 2F+2A+SEQ as a novice /LOL/

2. First (that we know) 3A tried in competition at the 2008 Tohoku-Hokkaido Regional FS Championship at 13yo (UR)

3. First  ratified 3A with + GOE in a national competition at the 2008 East Japan Junior Championships at 13yo

... and in true Yuzu fashion, wasn't able to land a clean 3A after that for a while.

4. First  ratified 3A with + GOE in an international competition at the 2009 Junior GP Torun at 14yo

4. First  3A+3T with + GOE in an international competition at the 2009 Junior GP Torun at 14yo

 

 

That's make me happy  Poland has its place in Yuzu's skating history!

Need to catch up with all the axel beauties now. 

BTW, did I miss the discussion of this masterpiece, or it's just an old one?

Yuzu in colourful suits   

 

@  Bathclin crew's stylist can you just give Yuzu those suits so he can wear them to banquet 

[axelnojutsu]

I'm pretty sure that's one and the same suit later colored digitally, at least for the video part

It was one grey suit, the colours are computer graphics work  It's cm from last season. Is bathclin using it again or people are bringing it back just because? 

ETA: I found gifs from making of as proof

Two weeks more without Yuzu and people will start to bring everything that is possible and even more, I afraid.

One of the hashtags on that tweet says いい風呂の日 (kind of like National Bath Day??)

Japan has a thing where they map sounds to numbers, so, いい風呂==ii-furo==1126==November 26.

Hence the reposts... now if this was a new Bathclin ad, we would be breaking the Internet...

 I think this indicates to me that if Yuzu had done his usual and won the NHK he would probably be entering the GPF this year as the highest-ranked qualifier.  

Nathan has two wins, that's the only way to get to 30, Yuzu would get second had he won NHK, but then again, that would indicate Brian's gallbladder was saved and so TCC was under his protection from any curses, so Javi might have been up there as well... but all of that is IF, so please don't hide your posts to go back in time,other users, we won't be able to save Brian and TCC anyway, but we might at least reach 2k!

I'm sure they can find a way to cover the expenses as long as Yuzu is there lol

You mean, crazy Fanyus wouldn't pay for the whole coverage? That's a scandal!

_{Of course we would pay...if that meant more Yuzu....}

Maybe not breaking the internet, but no amount of comments hiding would save Gen Chat from reaching 2000in few days. During the rush hours, this chat moves at the speed of the competition threads during the live-viewing...all of them at once

I mean.... remember when Yuzuru fans crashed the Sendai tourism website when they released Yuzuru's stuff

I stand corrected on my feeling Yuzu would have entered the GPF as the highest qualifier.  I didn't realize how  the point system works.  On the other hand what takes place there may have major implications later on for Yuzu.  I think the situation might prompt certain of those competing in the GPF to peak too early.  Why?  Obviously the three major names - Shoma, Nathan and Boyang - are very aware of the fact that Yuzu's non-presence there opens up an opportunity I'm sure none of them were thinking about when this season began.  Now the contest is not for number two, which might have seemed the case if Yuzu were competing.  The other three beyond those I've mentioned, I have to admit might be in contention also but for the Big Three this is a stellar opportunity and a stellar temptation to throw all discipline to the winds and say 'to hell with waiting to peak, I want this right now'.  Thus we could have a major expenditure of mental energy as they strive to fill the vacuum left by Yuzu's absence.  This is potentially an ideal situation for Yuzu, seeing his major competition in PC exhausting themselves (not physically but psychologically) in their eagerness to grab the big prize.  Of those three, I think Shoma will be the most motivated, simply because Yuzu is a countryman and the Final is in Japan.  He wants to show proud for the home folk.  Whether I'm right might be seen a couple weeks later at Nationals, if Yuzu competes there, which I'm almost certain he wants to, if nothing else to take Shoma's measure.  If Shoma enters Nationals being on the mental descent from a Grand Prix victory, he might not do too well there.  All this, of course, is simple speculation.  With Yuzu, though, I'm sure his sights are primarily on PC.  He might decide to skip Nationals.  After all, as the current World and Olympic champion there is no way JSF will not send him.  They would risk rioting in the streets were they not to.  The advantage there might be to keep Shoma guessing as to how far Yuzu has recovered his skill after the NHK fall.  Another factor is that Yuzu might be using the interim to retool his programs and maybe coming up with a move or two to take everyone by surprise.  I don't know, but are there points on the board for a quad/quad combination?  I'm certain Yuzu, with his legendary speed going into his jumps, could perform such.  That would be a potent demoralizer for other skaters, getting them back  to the frame of mind everyone had at the end of 2015 - Is there anything this guy can't do?  These are just some thoughts I have but I have to say I am increasingly feeling that this enforced pause in Yuzu's season is actually a blessing in disguise.  It's like summer has returned and he's back to training for a totally new season.  Coming back refreshed from such a second summer, he might just find that he's more than ready to take on the best the world has to offer.  My hope for PC?  A repeat of GPF final 2015 - new records across the board.  That would cement his position as greatest of his generation, even perhaps, greatest of all time - the Absolute Champion.

We are nothing if not thorough.

Is there a reason why we have less and less pages? I remembered we were in the 1980 something pages a few days ago, and now we are back in the 70s.
