Is the second picture seriously a zoom in of the first picture?? How on earth did satellites even see that??? What kind of Sherlock level observation skills..... it took me like a solid 30 seconds at least to find him in the first photo... AND I WAS LOOKING FOR HIM AND HAD THE ZOOM IN PICTURE FOR REFERENCE!!!

Holy crap, I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE! But even for such a pixelated image it's just so unmistakably Yuzu?! LOL

Some thoughts on the rule changes - As I've commented before, I think it's Yuzu who will benefit most from the changes.  The shortening of the FS means that those who are putting the maximum number of jumping passes into their program and require significant setup time to launch will have less time to spend on other elements - spins, steps, choreo.  Yuzu, as one writer here informed me, masks his setups by complex moves rather than just skating all out to get airborne.  All those moves are garnering him PCS points.  Secondly, the changes in the GOE range from 3 to 5 means that there is greater flexibility in granting pluses or minuses by the judges and if it works the way it's hoped it will, the judges will be less inclined to go full tilt on extras, giving a full five for what can only be described as elements executed beyond perfection.

 

I had been of the understanding that the shortening of the FS by 30 seconds was to also be accompanied by reducing the number of jump elements by one. So spins/steps/choreo remain unchanged, and I would imagine time spent on those elements would change minimally.

Yeah, the number of jump is reduced by one but nobody actually takes 30 seconds to do a jump.

In closing, I'm not worried about the rules changes since I see Yuzu as actually benefiting the most from them.  It's almost as if the ISU, seeing the quad problem emerging and the imbalance between TES and PCS, looked at Yuzu's skating and put together changes that make his skating the model for others and the one likeliest to score maximum points.

 

I'm fairly new, but from my reading, Yuzu actually was in the vanguard of the quad charge because it was a way to beat skaters than had no quads but at that time higher other marks? It's one of the things he's good at, taking what looks like minuses and turning them into winning points.

 

I can't help thinking that he and his team are brilliant enough - both at skating and thinking it out - to work out precisely how to max out the benefits and minimise the drawbacks.  Of course, no matter how they try and score the 4A he is going to do it, but it occurred to me that if doing it not-so-well is downgraded pointwise, maybe he'll be a tad more cautious and practice more before he tries it out on us (Maybe. This is Yuzu.) which would be good for his health and our sanity....

We seek him here we seek him there, the fanyus seek him everywhere....
