Do you think you are capable of performing a program that gets scores such as Yuzuru’s? Not just 200 in the free, but even 220?
I don’t know. My programs here in Bratislava were good, but not perfect. I had good levels of spins and steps, but still some of the elements were not perfect. We are such different skaters, our technique, our skating is just completely opposite. Some judges may have a preference; some may like one more than the other. It’s hard to play with that sometimes. He is a great skater, he skates amazing. When he skates a good program, he is really hard to beat. For me, for Patrick Chan, for everybody. I can just hope I can defend my title doing a great program. We will see. You never know, we are human beings. You just can wake up to a horrible day on a competition day. I’m going to try to defend my title, but I can never know what will happen.
You said after the free program that skating might go in two directions: we might forget the triples because they disappear completely, or the ISU might bring a new rule that would maximize the number of quads in the free program. What would you prefer personally?
Even if I’m a good jumper, I would prefer if the ISU said at some point that there has to be a limit. Just because I think it is good for the skating. It can’t be just jumping. It is true what Patrick Chan said a couple of times: skating is important! We can’t forget about skating. It’s good to do quads, but it’s really important to skate well.
