The easiest way to tell the difference between F and Lz isn't actually watching the edges, esp because a lot of skaters have edge problems (obviously not usually an issue in Yuzu's case, but it's also a bit blink-and-you'll-miss it). You want to watch the entry instead. Skaters enter into flips on turns, whereas the entry into a lutz is straight backward It was indeed a glorious 3F
July 11, 20215 yr Screaming at the one foot exit out of hydroblade (And we get the desert again now sigh thank you for the reminder) These were fun and very intense 3days (who even remembers that we were all excited for chance of new SP? Zu may be a trollish trollZuzu be really, he never disappoints)! Thank you everyone and all the translators, clips&pics&gifs uploaded, and looking forward to the whole vids
July 11, 20215 yr Dreams on Ice feels like it ended just as it was getting started . Wishing Yuzu and the rest of the skaters to keep healthy and train well for the season ahead.

Their skating styles both really suit David's choreography (or the other way around!), just so lovely, goosepimples watching both of these programmes!

Every time I watch him in this program, I feel he is at the different level in all aspects from other skaters (sorry for saying this, but my honest thoughts). I really hope he will perform this EX on the world stage, not only in Japan. You know I have been thinking about this and wondering if he might use it as his ex this season: 1. It would bring 2 Olympic cycles full circle - his FS after Sochi was POTO, so rounding his 3rd Olympic season off with POTO=inspired Masquerade feels organic! Yuzu likes this sort of thing! 2. Unmasking himself at the end of this season (if it proves to be his last competitive season) seems poignant to me - taking his mask off and throwing it to the ground, or in the air, such a dramatic and symbolic gesture - he has been an excellent ambassador for the sport, but maybe once he finishes his competitive career he could feel a new freedom where he can be bolder in his expression of views about the way forward for the sport. Honestly, just speculation on my part, or course I never want him to end his competitive career, but this is what was in my mind when I was wondering at his choice of Masquerade - there always seems to be a deeper meaning involved where Yuzuru is concerned!
July 11, 20215 yr Is screaming during competitive performances allowed? Yuzu please scream at the judges!

The way he's been throwing around little bits of BTS choreo almost makes me think his new SP (or EX) is a BTS program. Remember how the troll did that Nijinsky pose at the end of FaOI that year, and it turned out it was a clue that he was going to do Origin?
July 11, 20215 yr Dying/dead from the scream, thinking about the glove throw: The old way to me was simply saying good riddance, forget this damned mask! The new one feels desperate and uncertain, like he's giving himself up to fate... Maybe scared to lose the mask (perennial Olympic king?) because it has protected him in certain ways, but sacrifice is required to fight this terrible, strange beast (4A?) and he won't know success until the battle is over. Of course it could also mean he just wanted to change things up for the last night! Still thunderstruck by it all, by HIM.
July 11, 20215 yr King of facial expressions. Show me any other skaters who can express that range of emotions in that brief moment, I dare you. This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS].
