micaelis Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 ACI Thoughts Short Program - A Hanyu/Buttle production is always great and this one is not a disappointment. Not quite as good as LGC but that was the two at their best. The costume, though, I do not like. The colors are just not strong enough and the exposed chest was not a plus. If he had some pectoral cleavage to show without the flesh-colored mesh it would have been great but Yuzu doesn't have pecs, though his torso is nicely V-shaped. Costumes that highlight that feature of his are amongst my favorites. Free Skate - Not quite a classic in terms of content but Yuzu's got six weeks to put in improvements. I think it might do to have more arm action in certain parts. I do have a feeling that Yuzu's been looking to use that six weeks layover before competing next to alter and polish his programs. Basically at ACI I think we probably saw works-in-progress (not that that is not the case with all his programs) but this time probably moreso. The costume, though, I loved. It's his best since POTO2 which is my all-time favorite. The way it hugs his torso is why I like it so much and the coloring is like bejeweled tree-bark. By and large I think we saw Yuzu not in his best form this weekend but at least he didn't falter as much as he did in last year's ACI (excluding his record SP). But his win this year was narrow over Junhwan, who for the first time let the world know he's serious about joining the elite ranks. This year might be a breakout year for him. As for Yuzu, he'll probably look at this weekend's near miss as a motivator for him during the next six weeks to alter and polish his programs. In Helsinki things start getting serious.

It'll be a crazy intense month at the TCC Cave Link to comment
