Skip team event, and go to 4CC. It sounds like a workable option. I guess finally it all comes down to Yuzu and his team, and mainly Yuzu himself. What he feels like, what he wanted to do. I am not sure how he feels about the team event, does he feel like it’s it is his responsibility to represent the country and lead the team? Does he also think without strong pairs and ice dancer, Japan don’t have much chance to get on the podium, therefore, it is reasonable to let go the team event?
He might still go to national with 2 water-down programs, we don’t know yet. (I guess no one knows at the moment, maybe Yuzu didn’t know either, it really comes down to this week if he could get get back on ice)
It lucky that he doesn’t need to build up reputation for both of his programs this season, so hopefully it ease some of his frustration of not being in competitions.

it’s a awesome picture they have picked, I can feel the fire inside of him, hopefully those students could feel it too.
