ya same. maybe lack of practice? bc of the 4lz

 

*Yuzuru voice* I PRACTICED!

so yuzu's goal is the increase average...this might be the lowest score of Chopin

D'awww the Japanese commentator going all 'If it's Yuzuru, he can do it" as if he wanted to cheer on sad Nobu... by the way, Nobu looked more crestfallen than Yuzu xD

Not underestimating the other skaters at all. Nathan landed everything, and if the judges weren't strict, which they were with Yuzu, too, the gap would be much bigger. Shoma could beat that score very easily with this judging, too. But I still think landing the lutz and doing the FS clean is the real goal for his team there. I dunno, I've got used to thinking of new Seimei as actually new because 4Lz, and all the wobbly skates he had while adding 4Lo. Now if he can land it and go clean, and Nathan still beats him - then he's in trouble.

Yea...Men's figure skating has changed a lot since Sochi and the system is unforgiving of mistakes. It's unfortunate that Yuzu does seem less consistent than the other top contenders. 

 

He needs to get in the zone like he did for Helsinki more =(

They said it before the comp but added SHINJITERU afterwards! They were so expecting new WR!

oda!  truly one of us...

 

i'm just uncomfortable because i have this feeling that had the other men made the same mistakes as yuzu today they would have scored more than him. that's the No. 1 thing i fear the most - yuzu's mistakes mattering more than other people's mistakes.

Hmmm. Not liking him going before Nathan but we'll see. 

And... it's the first gp. Because the athlete name is yuzuru hanyu, the guy can't have a break because of the expectations and him repeating. But i hope now the media won't hype/add too much pressure on him. Please!.
