How is it, that their rotations look so different? Yuzu looks like he managed to do at least one rotation more, how fast he was... I thought about this too! Maybe this was a retorical question, but I think the reason is that Yuzus first rotation is sort of delayed/slow compared to his other three. He looks like he jumps or steps up into the jump with one foot, while Javi sort of rotates into it with his feet parallell. Since Javi’s feet are already almost in “jump position”, he has about the same speed throughout, while Yuzu needs the first rotation to get into the right position and when he gets there he rotates faster to compensate? I don’t know that much about the technical details of jumps, but that’s what it looks like to me. And anyway, Javi’s jump looks a little bit underrotated to me, while Yuzu’s definitely isn’t.

Xen Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Yuzu has a bigger swing up into the jump- he does this for his axel and sal: http://the-real-xmonster.tumblr.com/post/179396404209/goat-3a-details#tumblr_notes But he does have one of the biggest quad sals in the men's. Link to comment

Thank you, that was a really interesting read! That high swinging free leg was what I was noticing, but I didn’t know how to describe it properly. And yes, Yuzu’s quad Salchow really is extraordinary. Now I’m going to go track down this rant about Yuzu the GOAT/skating robot... Link to comment

It's actually fair assessment of many skaters, so I'd read up that blog if you want to know FS more and understand why some skaters get critiqued. Link to comment

Xen Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'm already losing focus at work, and it's not even Nov. 1 yet. HALP! Link to comment
jinxxoo Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I loved both costumes so I'm hoping for no change. I think Origin is definitely staying. Maybe minor change to otonal? Link to comment
