Doesn't Yuzu's leap here look reminiscent of a delayed single axel?

Fans was talking about how judges going to mark that as a popped axel

Yuzu talking about watching Plushy's performances over and over again and he stil does! And he watches ice dance and pairs more now....(sorry if this already posted, didn't see it??)

 

Awwww so while we're up all night watching Yuzu videos on youtube, he's up all night watching Plushy's videos on youtube... 

(and probably Plushy watches Yuzu's videos too...)

it looks like a delayed single axel with helicopter legs lol

 

Maybe it's a single hanyu lol (it'd work well to have an axel variation named after him lol)

It would be hard to do anything but a single with that air position though! This jump already has a short life xD

Admittedly. So a Hanyu Axel? And I don't think it actually counts as delayed, since he starts rotating almost right away - unlike his actual delayed axel.

 

I was looking at some axel variations, namely the open axel and tuck axel. But neither really fits... or maybe a combination... since the open axel seems to have both legs straight, but he actually bends one...

That is not an Axel.

and we need to scream that to the judges before he will skate because we can have a surprise with them  

[Fay]

it could be one foot Axel - Axel landed on the foot the skater launched from?
