Yuzu...   

 

 

@Yuzurella Where did this photo come from? What book is it from? 

 

Here's a compilation for Yuzuru's 4th anniversary     : the song lyrics and Yuzu's lyrics are translatable.

Guys, do you agree that despite the falls Yuzuru's free skate at the Sochi olympics was a very valuable skate that is worth rewatching and in which are many things to love? Cuz I've seen people (who like Yuzu otherwise) say that the performance he gave in Sochi free skate was pretty much trash. I rarely post here but I take this as a safe space where I can feel that I'm not the only one who finds value in lots of aspects of Yuzuru's skating, not just in his fully clean performances.

Certainly not trash. I think it was just a kuyashiii~ skate and not many want to rewatch it maybe, but so many of the men in Sochi fell and made mistakes so I really dislike the narrative that he was lucky to win that. For me, despite the mistakes, we could see that Yuzu was quick to regain composure, he didn't let that affect him and completed his skate the best he could. He's always a fighter in that sense. 

Certainly we have seen cleaner performances than this, yet he is always so beautiful to watch and much more exciting than the rest of the skaters. After his second fall, he must have been frustrated and used his frustration as a motivation to find himself again in seconds.

Times like these remind us that he is is just a human, not perfect but even more lovable.

PS: His Biellman spin was breathtaking!🌷

To put that skate in perspective, go watch the whole Sochi men's final, if you can find it. It had more crashes and blow-ups than a demolition derby. And the competitors who managed to skate clean all had low scores coming out of the short program so couldn't really catch up. Yuzu's skate was as good as he could do on that day and it was enough to win. And that's how the sport works. It wasn't "trash", which would imply he didn't try his best. He put in the effort and deserved the win, it was just a rough day on the ice for everyone

Also the schedule for the men in Sochi was dreadful. The short program and the free skate were held on consecutive days with no rest day in-between. The short program for the top men didn't finish until about 11 pm then they had to do the press conference so got back to their accomodation in the early hours of the free skate day. They then had to be up early for practice. 

Terrible scheduling. I think it was something to do with the team event timing ( the first time it had been held).
