Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[Hanmgse]

Going for 5 quads?

I don't think so...

 

[Floria]

I am sure it will be 4CC layout but with 4S3T.

 

[Yuaz]

His practice run-through from the stream just now: https://youtu.be/slQR6YA7eRk

4Lo, 4S (marked), 3F (free leg low), 4S3T, 2T (or 1T), skipped jump, 4T-1/2Lo-3S (iffy landing on 4T and 3S), 3A

oh and he did the Biellman as well

No 3Lz, and going for 5 quad? :shocked:

 

[narcissa]

No 3Lz, and going for 5 quad? :shocked:

Why wouldn't he do 4Lz or whatever in runthrough tho if he's gonna add it.

I don't think he'll add it.

 

[Floria]

He has nothing to lose

 

[Fayruza]

For God's sake, he isn't going for 5 quads. He hasn't been jumping 4Lz, has he? And he won't give up one of his 3As.

what a nice warm family...

Good luck, Yuzu, you can fly to the sky! You're the best out there! Go for it - don't hold anything back!
Fingers, toes, braids - everything! - crossed for you.

I don't think he's doing 5 quads because he'd have to give up two 3A for that. I think he just did 4T1/2Lo3S as his recovery plan for failing the 4T

 

[Floria]

I don't think he'll add it.

We shouldn't expect any YOLO 4Lz, he hasn't practiced it. But 5 quads are more then real.

And Biellman! So his back is OK.

I have noticed Brian was unusually serious today.

He still can do 3A combo and 3A as his last jump. Maybe I am wrong and he was just practicing backup layout.

which is more higher in BV, 4 quads + 2 3A or 5 quads + 3A ?

 

[narcissa]

5 quads + 3A, but if Yuzu gets good GOE on the 3As in the second half, usually it's around the same.

 

[HanDomi]

let's be real, he is not interested in silver medal anymore, he wants to win, and he will go for 5

 

[narcissa]

:hpull:

Whatever happens...

Go Yuzu, you are the best, we love you so much!!!!!

 

[nekun]

ahh thanks..
the nerve already got me tho, I hope Yuzu skate well.

 

[liha]

I doubt ge will go for 5!

Also I have arrived, I'm wearing a black turban, black leather jacket and dark lipstck!

 

[narcissa]

Can't make the meet up hwell: sorry...

 

[Floria]

Nathan will go for 6 quads probably. USA needs 3 places for Olympics

Yup. He will.

 

[ralucutzagy]

Well, it's starting! Good luck to all the skaters particulary our Yuzu! Good luck bb!!:agree:

The only way he can do 5 quads without losing a 3A is to add the 4lz and I don't think he'll do that unless he's been secretly practicing it and I doubt he'd give up a 3A.
If he added a 4lz and did the 4t-lo-3s he did in practice his bv goes up by like 8 points but...I dunno if the risk is worth it. He can do his planned content with high quality to get +2/3 GOE on all/a majority of elements, which could be enough to win since if he skated clean he can also achieve high PCS but.... he might rely on others making mistakes or getting lower GOE/PCS. *shrug*
But if he tries a 4lz and falls on it then any potential boot to his bv will be minimal/lost and it won't be worth it. It's safer to go with his planned content. I don't think he will attempt a change is he is confident in his ability to land all his planned content with excellent quality.
