I have no knowledge and haven't heard anything, but my guess is even if it were closed to the public, Yuzu has enough clout there that they'd let him use it privately and exclusively. Compare that to the skaters who have no ice access at this point in time and it's not hard to draw conclusions about what the men's field will look like next season. Although Keegan is busy training for the X-Games it would seem... he just posted a skiing video to his Instagram that made me want to move to Alaska. Link to comment
monchan Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Ahhhh I also think he's likely to go to Beijing, thou not becuz it's unusual to retire right before Oly but becuz he might not land 4A in a PERFECT skate next ss yet . I feel it's his ultimate goal, a perfect FS with 4A! Link to comment
monchan Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Yuzu's quote from a fan blog about Ice Jewels vol.12: (GOOGLE TRANS) (any correction is welcome): Quote --Please tell us about the concept of the program for the next season, the image of the song, etc. to the possible extent. I want to make a new program. I don't know how long it will take to get 4A, but I would like to work hard toward next season. I don't have a concrete image of the song or program yet. However, I would like to make something meaningful to me. LMAO I WAS WRONG. He's going to YOLO next ss y'all . Does it also mean he isn't skating? If he's skating now he must alr work on new programs right? Link to comment

If he's in Toronto, of course he can't skate atm. If he's in Sendai, he can't work on new program either because of no choreographer (unless he choose Japanese choreographer, which is unlikely) My guess is this interview taken around late March, because mag content need to finalize at least 2 weeks before printing. Anyway, new program or not, let's hope thing would be better soon so skater can start on ice training and getting choreo and that we could actually get some skating this year. Link to comment

It was publicly known that he would be skating new programs for next season before Worlds was going to happen. He'd have been practicing his programs for Worlds then, but likely spoke with Shae-Lynn and/or Jeff during that time about ideas for next season. The rink is Sendai is currently showing that it is open, though that might change. I am pretty sure that one of his FAOI programs from last year was something that Shae-Lynn sent him via internet and he picked it up in a day. I imagine that he's been in contact with her about next season. All he really needs now is a framework. He can polish is up on his own and then finalize it when he gets back to Toronto (hoping that Canada is open after June...). Link to comment

He can polish is up on his own and then finalize it when he gets back to Toronto (hoping that Canada is open after June...). At first I thought he may delay serious training on a new program until he's in Toronto, but at second thought I find it unlikely. He is so fast to catch a program, he probably sends videos to Brian Orser for comments, and he may want to lose no time in case Sendai rink close? Though things seem to have been better in the very last days in the country, and Miyagi isn't near as hit as others, and youth seem to have ceased to gather for no useful purpose. And choreographers are probably very glad someone can skate their ideas "for true" at the moment. As to 4A being his ultimate goal, yes, 4A have a very, very special meaning for him, and will always be his king jump, because he is the axel king. But if he can skate, if his pains are not greater than his pleasure (I don't know how to express it), then I tend to think he is likely to fight for other "attainable" (only by him, at least in the next decade) goals : quad flip (he won't be the first but he is unlikely to accept having one jump never jumped in competition, even if just at an ACI or so), quad-quad combination, 4A in combination, and why not, a quint. I wish it so much, not for myself (and I feel other fanyus don't need them either), but for his own feeling of achievement, and for judges and "journalists with a narrative", who deserve a BIG humble pie.

It's never enough for them, journalists just want drama to sell and judges are big feds' puppets, it's the gospel truth that doesn't change regardless of whatever he does. And he will retire when he feels satisfied with himself, he doesn't need fans to decide what's best for his own feeling of achievement. Link to comment
