There have been many good male ice dancers, and some pairs skaters, that are 5'8", or shorter. Just saying. 

I'm not saying that every male pair or dance skater is a skyscraper but generally those who excel most are fairly tall.  In ballet the same applies.  Most premier danseurs are tall, but Mikhail Baryshnikov is about Yuzu's height, so exceptions are to be found.  Baryshnikov is more heavily built than Yuzu so that can explain how he managed to excel in his career.  The thing is that those athletic sports that involve a great deal of movement in the air (gymnastics, diving, figure skating) are bound by simple laws of physics where shortness is an asset.  As far as I understand it has to do with center of gravity issues when airborne.  I'm sure that Yuzu's upper body strength is probably greater than might be found in most males with his height and build but the core of Yuzu's strength training I see as concentrating on his legs which is where the most critical issues lie.  The crucial issue for Yuzu's upper body is flexibility.  Yuzu's flexibility is well-nigh legendary by now, witnessed by the obligatory Bielmann and Doughnut in his programs, which have garnered him many PCS points and GOEs over the years.  The Bielmann he's been doing since his Novice days, which means he's been exploiting his flexibility since Day One.

I just realized... We might get a lot of videos from practices at FaOI. Because Misha will be there... Misha,  I have faith in you. :tumblr_inline_nhkezsTB3v1qid2nw:

 

Though considering that there was a big uproar about Misha asking fanyus to stop requesting more Yuzu, I hope fans chill a bit if Yuzu decides to not be featured so much.

i hope skaters don't get pressured to de-ninja yuzu. It would ruin their time being spent together. However, that being said, just in case.. JUST....  i will still be following all faoi skater's instagram. Again. :english2:

 

flashback to multiple lives and instastories of yuzu fanboying sex bomb plushy :laughing:

What if he surprise us with something new at FaoI? Some new EX, maybe??? One can only dream ... :tumblr_inline_n18qraikFP1qid2nw:

I think right now his priorities are new SP and FS programs, because with the OG and the ice show Yuzu has clearly indicated he's closing a chapter on his life and means to move forward.  I think he'll go with a 'dumbed-down' version of one of his competition programs, probably something energetic (PW or LGC?) as a contrast to the Notte we've been seeing forever, as beautiful as it is.  It would be interesting if he revived one of the programs from his junior years, updating it of course, although the program I'd like to see again is POTO, which is my favorite of all of his programs.  I am encouraged by one thing, though, and that is his actually choosing to do a show this off-season.  If nothing else it indicates his rehabilitation is proceeding nicely, maybe even more rapidly than was initially envisaged.  I think, however, he is not going to take any risks with what he does.  Reinjury or a new injury is not something he or we desire.
