This is rough translation of Oda's commentary in Yuzuru's FS at Rostelecom Cup.
"I think he did his best. Although he could land quads in 6 minutes warm up, it is difficult to put all elements together while we feel anxious during the program. Because even if we are able to execute each element, our moves are going to be different (than usual). He must have been feeling like "am I doing right?", but he worked very well. The course into the jumps or the timing for breathing, he had to change everything so I think he was feeling insecure, but he succeeded in what he could do now."
"As for the program, it was better in terms of expression and music interpretation compare to the performance in the competition of Finland. (slow motion starts) This is 4S at the start, this is really beautiful. This is truly perfect and will be getting from +3 to +5. Next 4T, this is also wonderful. PERFECT. I have no doubt these two amazing jumps are the big advantages in TES for this performance. He was also energetic in the step sequence like this, he captured the music well while he was skating. This is 3 jump sequence in the latter half, 4T was fully rotated but Euler was a little bit underrotated. Therefore, he will get the deduction on Euler, actually this was not almost Euler because he couldn't jump (Euler) but turned around at where he was. I still think how well he managed to do 3 jump sequence there, it would make huge difference in scores if he had not tried it. This is 3A which is one of his best jumps. Again, he is doing this in different access to the jump than usual, I think it was difficult for him to make the curve (into the jump), especially in the second half of the program. (looking at Ina Bauer and Hydro Blading) These expression were awesome. He did spins at high speed at the end, that reminded us of Plushenko and it was very good spin."
Oda chuckled when he mentioned UR on Euler
Also I rewatched 6 minutes warm up and Shuzo said he sprained his leg (ankle?) when he was competing, he tore three ligaments and underwent surgery. No wonder he cares for Yuzuru every time he is in bad health.
