Am I the only one to love his new costume? 

I love it too. The details look less busy than the old one and it show his lines a bit better ( of course, nothing can beat UA in this aspect). The gloves will comeback when he does biellman

OH okay more updates from his interview - apparently after he popped his 3Lz, he was thinking for a split second about doing his 4Lo (!!!!!!) and then the thoughts kept piling up one by one, hence he started overthinking and got messed up. やっぱり he needs to work on the nerves and not YOLO-ing too hard (although he was off from the start even before that pop so idk...)

 

最初の（３回転）ルッツが抜けちゃって、（次のジャンプで今大会は回避を決めていた）４回転ループを跳ぶことも一瞬考えた。そういう１つ１つの雑念がすごく多かった。いろんなことを考えすぎてぐちゃぐちゃになった。悔しさっていう大きな収穫を手に入れることができた」と次戦に向けて闘志を燃やしていた。

Yuzu's #YOLO tendencies are out of this world  After the 1st jump he's already ready to #YOLO

Yuzu dear, you have to get into serious shape before you start yoloing left and right...

I don't know what the haters have to say, and tbh I don't give a flying f, all I will rmb from this competition is this

 

He bombed before and came back stronger! So, I'm certain he will be fine! 

 

let's be real, that's all everyone is gonna remember from this comp 

When you have too many options to yolo and you can't pick which one to use..

A better pic with the medalists!

really I think the 3Lz pop messed him up - he has so many quads in his arsenal that he started thinking about YOLO-ing (was probably thinking hard about a backup plan from the start since this layout is unfamiliar). Honestly, I think he just lost focus tbh. No idea what was going on with his axel though ): 

 

(I'm guessing he thought that because I, too, am an overthinker and I KNOW that if I'm going into something knowing that it's not what I practised/prepared for, I'm already thinking of 124149820 exit strategies. so maybe watering down his programs was not the best strategy going forward)

I knew it. I also guess it must be over thinking. Oh yuzu I hope you learn from this and fix it. Better he faces those problems here so he can evaluate and do better in the future,  and peak at the right time. 

And the most important, please stay healthy.

His problems - to me - seem completely emotion/mentality based so that's really just what he needs to focus on

So yep, it was overthinking. That's fine, then: he had too much going on already with the knee and the modified layout before piling more doubts in. Go back to Toronto, recover from any lingering physical issues and regroup.

 

He'll still get that skate he can be proud of 

I really like the new but felt it was too big, like a sail, although i said straightjacket before. I think I prefer a streamlined look like his UA, but that will not happen.  But, he knows how it feels to move in so that is the important part. 

 

I can see how frustrating it would be to have to not include your favourite new toys, er jumps, in the program after training them in the program all summer. But, an ounce of prevention now....patience yuzu... remember last summer...

I just woke up and have to run to work. This competition will only make him stronger and show better if not perfect FS at Rostelecom! 

And it feels so good to see him again and again in competition , no matter the placements.

I was thinking the same ... so many YOLOing ideas can mess his head ...

Ok, let's let Yuzu know we want the gloves back...

Hear, Hear! Yuzu, wear those gloves again... can't get enough of that...

 

This was a super kuyashii free skate for Yuzu (although it WAS quite the pop concert for a lot of the men out there... Javi seems disappointed at his skate too).

But this is a Senior B competition, not the GP series yet; and Yuzu seems to be relatively chill and relaxed in between the kuyashii because it's his first time in a while running through the programs (Also, Chopin WR!!)

The most important thing now for Yuzu is to make sure he rests up and is healthy (both physically and mentally) so that he can prepare both Chopin 3.0 and Seimei 2.0 to their fullest potential for the upcoming GP...

 

(The sad thing now is that, for the next couple of competitions, I'll be in constant  and on pins and needles... And I'm not even competing there! I'm just a roving satellite!)

two triples at the beginning causes thinking too much of Yolo , i feel like.. and I feel like Seimei is not a  good program for Yolo because the second half jumps are so close to each other

if Yuzu cannot resolve his mental problem of messing up first jump causing issue in the next jump...then...then...

 

Here we can totally see he wasn't seimei. He was slower and more reserved.
