yuzuonice Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'm loving all the photos so much hahaha, I bet Yuzu will sooner or later catch wind of this too and laugh through it, like a meme king that he is EDIT My thoughts exactly, but it's only fair that he is trolled back! Link to comment

Funny thing is that I was just reading the 2017 list a couple days ago and wondering how someone like Eugenie Bouchard got on there but not any figure skaters but I figured it was because Yuzu doesn't have social media and a large part of the ranking is based off of followers. I suppose we should be happy that he's at least getting recognized in the US now Link to comment

XD huh what? I expect it would be very tough to point toes in skates. I've never heard of this? Pointing the toes is a way of extending your line gracefully in dance, and having graceful lines is part of artistic movement in figure skating, too, but I've never actually heard of anybody expecting skaters to point their toes while wearing those boots. And it's not like men have long spirals, blades are usually on the ice most of the time, so... I don't know? What skaters actually point their toes? Or is this about the toe pick in toe jumps? I've never heard any criticism of Yuzu's toe pick position in jumps, he never uses the whole blade, and he only very rarely uses more than the toe pick. No idea what this is about. Link to comment
Sombreuil Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 TSL used to witter on about it. Link to comment

No idea what this is about. tsl always mention it. also with their interview with tracy wilson. they asked tracy if they are addressing that issue and if it's because of his edea skates. sorry idk it either 😓 Link to comment
ralucutzagy Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Zu at Emperor's party, 4 years ago! Hope he will not forget his medal home this time! Yes, please!!! Link to comment
IULIANA Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 As much as I seem to know, pointing toe is something even Yuna had been criticized about of NOT doing it, eventhough she had beautiful lines. David Wilson mentioned it in an interview with TSL quoting a talk with Yuna and pointing out that if she did not do it, he, David, would be punished, or something... By the way, the TSL constantly kept criticising Yuzuru for. Link to comment

XD 3 You mean, this: On 02/05/2017 at 12:43 AM, tournesols said: this is old but look at that toe! is he pointing it? :smile: But basically, it's that old and tiresome talk about how skating must be as balletic as possible. If I recall correctly, Sasha Cohen used to be famous for being able to do that. I personally can't tell. Also, how on earth are skaters expected to do that while on skating boots? ... If anyone can point to me where in ISU official document I can find this thing, I'd concur. Until then, Link to comment

I'm a huge newbie (so please correct me if I'm wrong fellow satellites!) but from what one of the coaches at my rink told me, 'pointing your toes' in skates means to plantar flex the foot i.e. toes should be bent away rather than towards you. TSL has talked about it a lot. Yuna Kim never pointed her toes and it's something David Wilson still can't live down I'll see if I can find some example photos to embed later as I'm on my phone right now. Link to comment
