anski Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Catching up on this... I don’t know if this is midly controversial but I would see Keegan landing a 4A as unlikely due to his body type. He has very strong jumps and one of the best techniques, but the 4A requires 4.5 revolutions in the air and to perform such acrobatic jumps very lean and light bodies are favored. This is why most women doing quads are Juniors or very very small. Of course, hard work and a good technique can make up for the “wrong” body type, but the 4A is almost an impossible jump and I think having the “correct” body type can help a lot. On to Yuzu... I voted that he’d try to land it in Japanese Nationals because it’s a home arena and the competition is less fierce so maybe he’d like to play it safe and try there for the first time? But we all know how chaotic Yuzu is so my second bet would be Worlds — and if he does so it will be because the jump is more stable. From what he says there’s still a bit of work to do so I don’t think he’s gonna risk it in any GP... internationally, I think he’ll either do it at Worlds or hold until next season but with Yuzu you never know!

Ashley2162018 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Healthwise I don't mind waiting for it until next season. Yuzu has lots of goals this season, like winning everything. That alone is a lot of hardwork. Link to comment

I love origin, don't get me wrong, but i'm not sure i want that program for 3 or more straight seasons A boy has got to do what a boy has got to do to be satisfied though i guess Link to comment

memae Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I feel like the TCC team wouldn't be talking about the 4A if it wasn't likely, and they've all started bringing it up lately. Yuzu is so quiet about so much. I think they'd be in trouble if he didn't feel like it was probable that he can land it in a competition. Link to comment

MaxSWAGG Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I personally think it's too dangerous! I think it may be next season at the earliest. Link to comment
SparkleSalad Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Guys... They said after WTT 2017 that he’d only need 17cm more height for 4A... Link to comment
Figure_Frenzy Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 ...speaking of jumping 4A I wonder if Yuzu would really try it during practice sessions in comps, I have a feeling just my personal feeling, not based on his thoughts during presscon or something similar... that he'd jump it straight in the program during the competition itself, so that everyone is taken by surprise from it (especially when it is landed well, hence getting a positive GOE and ratified)... ...just my feeling ofc, because I feel like it'd be very disappointing for him if he nailed it during the practice session but not during the comp itself 😫😫🙈 Link to comment

Yuzu is just not that reckless anymore. And that's not a jump that can be casually done. Link to comment
Ashley2162018 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Maybe after worlds Yuzu will be training it again, he did bulk up for it too right? Hopefully next season we can see it. Link to comment
SparkleSalad Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 I don’t think we’ll see it at WC, either. I think he’ll work on 4Lz in short and free with a 5 quad layout. Link to comment
Ashley2162018 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I really don't know when he can land this. But I pray he doesn't rush it. We all want him perfectly healthy and satisfied with life. He deserves it so much. Link to comment
