Pure opinion.1. It's the first time he skated at a formal competition i.e. grand prix SA. And if you say SA is not the debut, then fine it's second time he skated, so what? The second time he skated PW is better than anything DW's two programs could be skated in two years, which leads to
2. No it says more about the quality of DW's choreography than Yuzru's skating. So far, DW is incapable of choreographing something as good and refreshing as Jeff's PW program. When people first saw Notre Dame as early as 2012 they said DW was copying the style of R&J 1.0. DW has had no inspiration and no creativity so far.
And I disagree.
What's "Nonsense" are your illogical non-sequiturs, and assigning "blame" and "problems" where there are none.This is nonsense. Blame everything on Yuzru, huh? A lot of people don't like DW's programs but they like Abe and Jeff's programs for Yuzru. A lot of people don't like DW's SP for Fernandez either. Is that also Fernandez's problem?
And I maintain that it's more the skater, than the choreographer.Skaters can only do so much, it's up to the choreographer to find something interesting for the skater to skate. Otherwise why bother paying DW all the money for the boring and uninspiring programs? Just because he's Orser's partner? He should be dumped if he still has no inspiration for the THIRD season.
Just more opinions.I said almost perfect because I wanted to be humble. I can say Yuzru's SA SP is perfect. This season they changed a lot from last year's program, but that doesn't mean the first version was not good. And a large part of those extra points is due to consistently skating the program cleanly and reputation judging. In fact, the first version was perfect too, something DW's two boring programs, even if skated cleanly, would not be able to come as close because DW the choreographer did not have any inspiration in those two programs.
And I disagree. Much as I love Hanyu's PW, and R&J #1, I do not share your dislike of DW that borders on irrational hatred - I liked R&J #2 and also Notre Dame. I still think Hanyu had his hands too full to do them justice. Given time I believe Hanyu could have made them special, and delivered their full potential.
Have a nice life, I wish you well with all future endeavours.
