I almost spit out my drink at this:

Victory and defeat can hinge on the type and number of quadruple axels a skater successfully pulls off in a program, as these earn high points.

I wonder if that day will ever come...

[Fay]

The type of quadruple axels? How many can there be?

Well, you could do back 3-turn-4A, back counter-4A, maybe a spread-eagle 4A twizzle sandwich?

Omg I didn’t even notice. I guess I’m just numb to 4A now. Though it’s the 2nd mention of 4A I’ve seen today. I wonder if he’s gone and told the media another secret.

It's Yuzu, so I wouldn't put it past him, but just imagine the nuclear blast if he came to the Olympics after 4 months of no competitions with a 4A... It'd be so hilarious!

 

(In all seriousness, I wouldn't have been surprised if he did bring it to the Olympics, if the season had gone well, but I think the chances have reached 0.0000000000000000001% under the circumstances... Not absolute 0, because... yeah, it's Yuzu and he's crazy)

Nah I think 4A isn't part of this season's plan, this season was to be 4Lz, and if he was feeling lucky/plucky/silly a yolo 4Lz-2T.

But I think that was a typo, because the rest of the sentence said "multiple quadruples." And regarding 4A...I've been saying princess 4A for a while, but what if 4A ends up being a boy? o_O The emperor has to have a heir at some point?

Well, using that weird hologram imagery thingy...for a good delayed 4A would he need an additional 5 cm height and maybe an additional 20 cm distance? That would make the height difference exceed his hair...though maybe if the antenna is up it is just his hair length.

"The most important thing is to compete in PyeongChang. I want to be in top physical condition, so I'm prioritizing my health and making sure I practice in the right way. After skating for 18 years, I'm finally mature enough to realize this."

 

This just makes me depressed. All his care for health and good practice and one single mistake, BAM, out of ice for a month or more. Why did I decide to check out figure skating last season, anyway? My life would be less sad if I didn't get so involved with this fandom and so emotionally invested in this kid. Would probably be more boring too, though. 

 

Just get well, Yuzu, and train well and my sole wish for 2018 is that you're in your best possible condition for the Olympics and achieve your dreams.

Oh, I'm sure it's a typo in the ANA article. Or it was written by someone who doesn't really know much about figure skating and doesn't know about Nessie.

 

That said, I've always been intrigued by the way he's talked about 4A. He's said it's hard to train because of the risk of injury and so it would be difficult to do it at the Olympics, but he also said something like "I need to think about it." Which to me, means that he wants to analyze and see if there might be some scenario in which that risk is worth taking. Keeping in mind that PC is THE event and what comes after doesn't really matter that much (as in he probably hasn't thought about it much, yet)... I think if he were to get in a "nothing to lose" kind of mind frame, it wouldn't be impossible. (I don't know if I'd want something like that or not... I'm likely to suffer multiple heart attacks no matter what he does, but with that on top... I also want us both to live so I can finally see Seimei, up close and personal in Milan, please! Maybe he can try 4A, there... >_> At least kill me face to face.)

I felt the same... I am trying to encourage myself by thinking it all seems so bad mostly because he's talked about health so much and he's being extra cautious, but that under different circumstances it's an injury he would have easily skated through. It's good he's extra cautious. But  knowing some of the things he's achieved before, despite injuries, like NHK and GPF 2015, Worlds 2012 (even Worlds 2013, the FS at least), or even just that he skated through everything that happened to him at CoC '14, that he's been sidelined for so long makes it seem a lot worse... I personally just want to think they're just being careful. He's behaving and it's actually not that bad and he'll be fine. *crosses all limbs*

I want them, too... so I guess this also sort of confirms Chopin costume will stay like that, with the gold neck, and Notte Stellata is this season's Ex... (Seimei is abstract enough that small changes might still happen, but no black/red Seimei I guess lol)
