Orser found out about the costume at the same time as us? I guess Yuzu really wanted to surprise everyone.

Do you guys think there will be changes to the costume by SC? Since this is the first time Orser see the costume and the all white is blended with the ice.

Who normally package the skater...from costume, music and choreo to ensure that all well put together?

I think he looks adorable, but now that Brian has seen it some changes might be in order. If he's going for the whole Prince look, his hair definitely needs to be gelled! :laugh15:

It varies but Yuzu seems to decide everything these days. Orser might give some input but he lets Yuzu take the lead, especially costume wise.

Doesn't Yuzuru technically have the highest SB so far...?

(“This is the first I’ve seen of it, when he came out of the rest room,” Orser said. “Oh, white.”)

"Oh,... [inner voice: my mother taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say....] .... white."

Seeing it up close, I actually like the vest, but those white pants :noshake:...... looking at some pictures I want to award him another record for skating without legs.

What are Yuzu's first?
- First to get 100 in SP, 200 in LP, 300 total score
- First to win GPF 3 in a row
- First Japanese & Asia to win OGM
- First 4Lo

Is he the first in IJS (or is it COP?) era to win GPF/World/OGM in same season 2013-2014 and the same year 2014 (OGM, World, 2014 GPF)? Was Yagudin accomplishment in IJS or 6.0 era?

I believe the ISU does not make updates on its site until after completion of a full comp.

After the conclusion of the Autumn Classic, the new results for Hanyu and other skaters will show up.

At the bottom of the page, it says "Standings as of: 26.09.2016 12:18:28"

Details of the vest

Now that is a big surprise to me. It really didn't look even remotely like that on the video. It most certainly could do with a bit less black/white and more purple, but the idea that it needs more bling... It's ONE big fat bling. It just doesn't carry on the video, at least it didn't for me. :-(

I don't think I've seen this kind of list before. How cool! *bookmarks* I bet there are versions for the FS and combined total, too, hehehe. Thanks! *never too old to learn*

Yagudin was in 2002, so it's 6.0. And since Yuzu it's the first one since Yagudin, he is the first under IJS :yes:

Congrats to Yuzuru.:luv17: The costume, it wasn't what I hoped but I loved it nonetheless for being "different". The program first time I've seen it since the 9/13 snippets. Hmm... the SP it was... different (obviously), I was actually giggling the entire time I watched. It was super fast, and I felt like his movements could've been faster but love the rockstar -esque move towards the end and overall a great start. I expect this SP to develop more and top my favorite Chopin Ballade 1 sp.

And J1 what's with the 7.75 on transitions?:dev2: not that I expect a 10 but he's the king of transitions (I can even forgive the 8.25). My, my, my.

 

[serafine]

I screamed at the office parking lot! The costume is better than what I expected. For Yuzu's level, it looks plain with less blingy. But this is Yuzu, I'm sure he will add more details to it as time goes on (ie Chopin costume)

I was driving home with huge grin on my face. Even rude drivers can't bring me down :handw: The program rocks

Above all, seeing his smiles worth everything. This is only the beginning!

Die hard Prince fan over here. I am really pleased with the program for its first outting and I see a lot of potential. As we've seen, he's gotta let his SPs cook for a good 2 seasons before seeing it as its absolute best. This was the case for both PW and Chopin, so to see the program already this good and already full of personality this early, I am feeling good about it! I am okay with the white myself, but if he changes the pants, I hope it's to purple and not black lol.

That warm up loop he did was sooooo awesome! The one in competition wasn't as great, but I am relieved it was clean!!! My favorite skater making history with my favorite jump while skating to my favorite Prince song who is one of my favorite artists! How does one define that?

Of course he makes history then promptly proceeds to botch his next element, lol. My friend who is there said he got slower after the fall so I'm looking forward to its evolution over the season.

Wishing him the best to have a decent outing with the long tomorrow!

Well... it's too soon to compare this SP score to his world record of 110.95 (even Chopin Ballade last season didn't start so well). It's just the beginning, first time he danced it in competition and I think he and Jeff will tweak with it. Surely the best is yet to come.

Ok, I am ready for 4 quads today. Hopefully he doesn't find any more holes in the ice

I hope they will add more embroidery to his white pants.

More black embroidery all the way down his pants would make a big difference.
