I hope that was a mistranslation. As for the lunge: -A normal lunge is similar to the lunge steps you perform for sports. You have one bent leg taking on your weight, and a leg dragging behind you with foot turned to the side. If you want to exaggerate it, you can flatten your free leg downwards till all parts below the knee are laid flat on the ice. -The lunge that Yuzu does is called a pistol lunge I think? It's a lot harder, because instead of putting your free foot flat against the ice, your free leg is turned outwards, so your legs are now essentially turned out about 180 degrees. Your free foot's blade is on the ice. I've tried it, and got about 2 feet before my legs gave out, I tripped over the back tip of my free foot's blade and hurt my tailbone, since falling means sitting straight down with your legs in a horizontal split position. 3 minutes ago, kaerb said: finally we are being watered slightly lmao (also, yuzuru 'never goes out except to the ice rink' hanyu talking about a bond with canada in general, I'm giggling) Um, at some point he did groceries...does that count?

The intimidativeness of the title was defeated by the picture of smiling boy posing cutely lol. P.S.: This is the original article if anyone is interested. Introducing, the Winter Emperor........... is that the kid with the Pooh?? Link to comment

I think the lunge they were talking about is a backwards lunge after the twizzles coming out of the 3lz-3t because they then go on to discuss the へ lunge as another type of lunge and travelling sideways which isn’t close to the combo. I don’t know how the first one is different from usual apart from travelling backwards, though. It was my first time hearing about the fracture, too. I wonder if it has anything to do with his prolonged recovery now. Link to comment

Yeah, it's the same as the fowards, just you're going backwards. >_> The balance is a bit harder, because you might want to lean too forward on your blade (but you can't do that or you hit your toepicks). And Pattern99 toepicks are huge and scary. Link to comment

And Pattern99 toepicks are huge and scary. I found it! It’s not the lunge after the combo but just before. You can see it really clearly in the 2012 NHK broadcast.
