I think it also helps that he has more toe pick jumps. They're less likely to be affected by bad ice quality.

He cannot take too much time off from Yale. He said it, Rafael said it. THen, after that he will see how it goes. 2) There are Fanyus will not be watching FS anymore, at least the men's event, after Beijing or latest after 2022 WC. When Yuzu retires, a lot of people will stop watching FS. They don't watch then they don't see Nathan's skating.
February 10, 20224 yr From 4A<< at JNats to 4A fall at Olympics (I refuse to call it UR, it was less than a quarter). 1,5 months. Yuzu will land it at Worlds💪🏻

He didn't redeem himself, his federation did it for him. I'm not proud of Shoma, he didn't deserve his score in FS. Yuma overscored but at least he was better Amen!

I may prefer yuzu than nc, but i kinda admire him a bit, man really redeemed himself this time from 4 years ago. Anyway, congrats to yuma and shoma as well. I am so proud of them😍😍😊 I cant comment about the retirement. But I do have to congratulate Nathan hard. doing clean competitions one after another is not easy. He really proved himself to me more worthy than 4 years ago. His scores they are noises now to me. But his efforts, I do acknowledge. Props to him to stick it out another 4 years and got more consistent these last years. I think he may have wanted a different route but now he is OGM who knows. maybe he isnt going to retire soon like people think. Thats why if its up to me I hope Yuzu can just skip the next competitions. It doesnt need to be a dramatic exit or anything. He just doesnt have to answer anyone. Just rest I hope. eta: wow at least Yuma isnt going to be the youngest ogm.

Since he already taking 1 year off uni to prepare for the Olympic ...he might want to continue his studies back.Besides it is mostly other skater trend to retire after Olympic gold..Yuzu and maybe Plushenko the anomalies here

Just rest I hope Well going clean is less hard when you know the judges and the fed have your back and will prop you up even if you make mistakes, and that's not admirable imo. He's only a marginally better skater than 4 years ago (and in some ways he's worse), so he hasn't even worked to deserve his ridiculous overscoring. It's shameful in my opinion. And now we have Yuma that is more overscored than even Nathan was in his first two senior seasons. Gonna be another quad of shit results in comps i bet.
February 10, 20224 yr The thing is Nate is consistent because he just jumps, nothing else. With no transitions in or out. He doesn't make himself tired through the program, he doesn't even does his spin properly. Knows the judges are with him, so psychologically in a good place too. So nope, I don't consider his consistency anything praise worthy
