I just read this, bits that caught my attention :

-He want to try new jumps at the off season, but for 4A, he said it is the olympic season so he is being careful not to get injured (from the tone I take it he won't do it this season, thank heaven, bless!) so it has to be 4Lz (or even 4F lol)
- For muusic/program choice as expected, he seem to be the one that is the main decision maker in the FS (ofc he consult with others too) but for SP he said he leave it all to Jeffrey Buttle and trust him completely. Nothing will change for olympic season. He kind of hinted it is going to be something like PW/Notte Stellata combo.
- He seems to be not so caught up on getting second olympic gold, which I think is... good?

Interesting stuff :agree: thank you. I trust Jefferey Buttle, his and Yuzuru' stuff has been amazing thus far. PW/Notte Stellata-combo sounds a bit strange though :laugh: perhaps alluding to a SP that is a bit smoother than LGC? I think PW and Notte Stellata have in common pretty smooth edges? Though the smooth spread eagles in the beginning of LGC is to die for in my opinion. LGC is probably the most up-tempo of Yuzuru's SPs. Perhaps he is alluding to the best qualities of his he thinks the two programs present, did he ever say what in particular he thought was his best sides that was evident in PW/Notte Stellata?

I think it is pretty good if Yuzuru is not to hang-up on the OGM, though I think to some extent "not-wanting-to-lose"/"wanting-to-win" is a better and more comfortable mentality to have rather than "(must-)do-a-perfect-skate". I think the latter results in so much pressure and risks bringing down the performance of the skater if they make even a small mistake... Both are better though than "I-must-win-OGM-it-is-the-only-thing-that-matters", which is a heck of a lot of pressure and I think Patrick unfortunately (and understandably) had that. Listening to Brian and Yuzuru in the KnC Yuzuru perhaps have a tendency at certain competitions to get a bit too intense? I mean getting this World medal was really important for him (again understandably) so perhaps relaxing a bit, while not good for some, is exactly right for him.

Oh God, I always think I'm just going to write a short reply and it ends up a short essay - sorry :palmf:

Am I a bad person for still wanting him to do 4A kinda soon? I just really really badly want to see one landed one... I want to be convinced it is actually possible. I will be happy with a perfect 4S-Lo-4S or 4T-Lo-4S though...I am so greedy :hopelessness:
 
What are the chances of Yuzu doing a 4x-Lo-4x combo in a program one day I wonder? :laugh:

Also this thread makes me speechless sometimes but I'm not complaining

I think he meant he wanted to do a program like PW (since it left a deep memory to everyone) while the other one would be like Notte Stellata (which draws out his best quality and appeal in terms of expression). I actually expect him to have 1 program that is a bit upbeat while the other one is slow. He has this kind of combo for long (PW+NDP, PW+RJ2, LGC+HNL) he must think it works for him, it gives a contrasting image from SP to LP too which is good.

He skates better when not thinking of title maybe; at worlds last week it was like that from my observation; he really change his demeanor from "I am going to win" to "I am going to show you my best skate that I am capable of." It is just a minor change of mindset perhaps, but could maybe affect his mental/psychological state differently (in a good way).

If they really cut the jumping passes down to 7, I wouldn't rule out a 3Alo4S :biggrin: after all, you have to put your 5 quads and 2 3As somewhere without disturbing Mr. 3F :roll5:

:love::luv17: 3F!! Honestly I'm most worried about Mr 3F being taken out after the jumping passes get cut down. Maybe 3F will never get +3 but it'll get +5 XD XD XD
 
I wonder if Notte Stellata will BE one of his programs. I know it would have to change for competition, but I would LOVE to see that. I go hard for that program, my favorite of all.

#JusticeForMr.3F :shock2:
It would be a shame if Yuzu had to take out the 3F after he worked so hard to get the inside edge clean. And after he basically turned it into a choreographic element with all the steps he does into it :luv17:

The 3F has to stay!!!

But I got anxiety just trying to arrange a layout with 3ALo4S and 4Lz without moving the 3F.
 
I took it as a given, but I am glad to read Jeff Buttle is confirmed as his sp choreographer. They seem to "get" each other and so far have not taken any missteps. I am impressed with how yuzu totally trusts him to choose his music when we know how particular he can be about it.... no pressure, Jeff! I wish he could also do his long program too, maybe in the future.

4Lz 4Lo 3F // 4S-3T 3A-1lo-4S 4T 3A-2T (3Lz) - depending on layout for 7 or 8 jumping passes. No big deal, all the stamina for 3 quads in second half and all.... :slink:
