The above article also says all of his jumps includeing 4T-3T in the second half was perfectly executed.:love:He crashed into the wall not while he was jumping but whe he was just skating and sped up too much and lost control. He smiled as if he is exbarrassed and continued his practice.
:laugh:

Thanks for the translation :)
 
Can't wait to see the new sp
Moving 4S and 4T3T to the 1st half, it's like watching a new program.
 
WHAT ! I just wake up and I see the announcement of the new lay out... I just can say that Yuzu is Yuzu... The practices look good but who knows what can happen... GUYS ITS OFFICIAL IM NOT GONNA SURVIVE THIS :dbana:

Wow.. he really decided to ditch that lutz. Not surprising though since it's pretty much been giving him trouble throughout the season. I was actually pretty surprised but also not really (if that makes sense lol). I guess I didn't expect to see the upgrade this 'early' but hey if he feels confident about it then go for it! :yes2:

I think the new layout will be safer from the risk of invalid jumping passes or zayak.. but on the other hand, if he wobbles on his second quad and fail to insert a combination jump, he can't put it in the last jump (3A being it has to be a solo jump). So... let's hope he won't miss the quad combo. Even if it's 4-2 it's still ok.

I believe that this decision is taken with consideration and for it to be presented this early means he and Brian both are confident of the prospect. It is risky, yes, but he's always that type of person willing to take the risk.. Furthermore, I think his motivation is also to improve and grow even more, which is great.

I don't think we need to worry so much about the practice.. I wish him the best. :cheer::2thumbs:

p.s. yea it's almost funny how it feels like now it's the 4T making me more jittery than his 4S :laugh:

^^ Could i check if 4s, 4t-3t, 3a....if he missed the 3t in first combo he cannot insert anywhere?

If the layout is 4t-3t, 4s, 3a ...if he missed the 3t in first combo can he insert a 3t or 2t as combo with 4s?

Not sure if his 4S is that safe to add a jump in combo. Unless he changes the jump intro to be less intricate so that he can be sure of landing. I think he's going to start with 4S and then come with 4T3T and my Lord if he lands it and then lands his perfect 3A- that would be a truly gloriuos SP.
 
It's hard to tell from the video, but it does look like the 4t-3t is placed where the spins used to be in the first half.

Sigh. I really liked the way the program used to be constructed. Oh well. The jumps look great, though.
 
Someone had asked what place Yuzu would need at NHK to qualify for the GPF. I've been over some numbers :) But no guarantees that my numbers are correct. I'm usually not really a numbers gal, so if you think you found a mistake, feel free to point it out ;)

A 3rd place would already be a 100% guarantee for a spot at the final, because that would mean 13+11 = 24 points, which means he's in. 5th place would be really bad, because then he's at 13+7= 20 points, which means he's underneath Chan and Dai, and then he's most likely out.
So no matter what the other guys do at NHK, Yuzuru needs to finish atleast in 4th place. That would earn him 13+9 =22 points,which puts him at the same level as Chan and Dai.
Looking at the first tiebreaker it would be
Chan(1st place at SC)
Yuzu (2nd place at SC)
Daisuke (3rd place at SC)
(That would most likely have the additional advantage of putting Daisuke in 7th place, which would mean that he gets to go as well :biggrin: hooray)

I've been through some scenarios, but as far as I can see, there's only one outcome that could make a 4th place finish dangerous for him:

1.Menshov (7+15=22)
2.Hochstein(9+13=22)
3.Boyang OR Kovtun(13+11=24)
4.Yuzu(13+9=22)
5.Boyang OR Kovtun(13+7=20)

Then the list for the first 5 finalists for the GPF would be

30 Points Javier
28 Points Shoma
24 Points Boyang or Kovtun (one of them would be out)
22 Points Chan (1stat SC)
22 Points Menshov (1st at NHK)

And next in line would be
22 Points Hochstein (2nd at NHK)
22 Points Yuzuru (2nd at SC)

In that case the SP tiebreaker would decide if Yuzu or Hochstein gets the 6th spot (and Dai would be out because he'd be in 8th place and there's no special 8th place invitation this year)

So, if I don't have all this completely wrong: If he finishes 3rd, he's in no matter what. And if he finishes at least 4th, he's still in unless Menshov finishes 1st and Hochstein finishes 2nd, because then the second tiebreaker might break his neck. (additional bonus: Dai gets to keep his spot as the 7th entry as long as no more than 1 skater walks out of NHK with exactly 22 points. But the chances of that are actually not all that high either.)

If you find any mistakes don't keep them but let me know please :biggrin:
