He will not be underscored if he skates clean, with or without 4Lz. He didn't use a 4Lo in his SP at ACI and got a World Record. It's okay. Worry about him skating clean and leave the underscoring worries for another time. 

It all boils down to all the thought that went into putting his program together back last summer.  In an earlier event Brian told Yuzu to trust his training, saying, essentially, that he'd done all that stuff during training, did it successfully, so he knew he could do it.  Just remember how things physically felt when he was doing the program in his practices.  Now Yuzu must see things in an analogous manner,  that is, he must trust his program.  It was laid out to be competitive yet within Yuzu's skill range.  As I said in an earlier post, if Yuzu skates his program clean and everyone else does the same, Yuzu's still on top, though just barely.  If he skates better than clean, as he did back in Helsinki, then nobody stands a chance.  So he has to trust his program, trust in the fact that it was put together to address the best his opponents planned to do.  If he performs like he did in Helsinki, and like he did in late 2015, then, as Johnny Weir said most succinctly - Nobody can beat a perfect Yuzuru Hanyu.

I don't think Yuzu have that much of YOLO tendency when he's in the middle of performing. He sure likes to take risk, but it's must be well in advance that his mind is fully prepared for it, like 'I'm gonna do this and that for next prog'. Rmb how articulate it is when he said about what he's gonna do in each prog, and how he''d do it .He even said about drawing a full vision in his mind just in few seconds of eye closing at the beginning of Ballad no.1 so that he can implement it perfectly later. YOLO ppl tends to forget/or not even bother how they decides to do smt at that YOLO moment. For Yuzu, EVERYTHING is planned, even if there's adjustment later it might alr have planned in his mind at the start of the prog.

 

Saying so, I'm sure it's just us who still don't know what's he doing, while he himself alr planned it for weeks probably. Minor change is possible if he makes mistake at the start.

The day I first saw Yuzu...

 

Please bear with my Twitter post, sorry I'm being nostalgic and all. :embSwan: Happy 4 years anniversary to those who found this amazing boy thru the Men's Team SP.  Every once in a while I always go back to this Tumblr post and just giggle whenever I see the 100k notes.  Tumblr was in total pandemonium that day!
