Does he have some superstition about skating 2nd or is that in the free skate only?

I think he had trouble warming up just the right amount to skate 2nd, but I think it's really only a problem for free skate because he needs more stamina to finish it.

2nd....not sure how I feel about that :hopelessness:

 

[chiraya]

I'm wondering why Yuzu has to cover the under armour logo with black tape? In the other competitions it's no problem..

btw I think he already learnt that when he skates second he won't jump a lot in the warm up? I hope he remembers that strategy >.<

 

[Elaine666]

Anything could happen at Pyeongchang; so there is no best starting order but best skatingIn fact, Yuzu has a proven history of nailing short programs no matter whatever he drew, first, last, or the middle

Time to break the superstition! 神る！ :clapper: Could happen again, after all. :scard7:
He and Brian has to, given Boston, have some consensus/plan on what to do.

I'm not sure, but I think Korean broadcast laws don't allow ppl showing brands unless they're explicitly paid to endorse it. Fyi, this is very citation-needed bc I only got this from watching K dramas a looong time ago.

If that is the reason, he's being really considerate to Korean broadcasters lol. Usually they would have to blur it out.

 

[Elaine666]

Despite saying that, skating the second in the group is definitely challenging; you cannot overuse energy during 6 mins warm up, and you have to keep your body warm enough for another 5 mins. It's tough, but better to experiment here than Helsinki or Pyeongchang:clapper:

Kind of like how he didn't bring Pooh-san into the rink in Sochi? I've always wondered if he was actually barred from bringing it, or just was being considerate.

I think he was being cautious more than anything. Its a large scale event, so he probably didn't want to cause any trouble. Either way, these little gestures show what kind of person he is. :luv17:

Proceeds from 4CC tickets alone were up to 700 million won 5 times the number of tickets sold compared to last year.
Not only he's attracted to the sparklies, shiny $$ attracted to Yuzu too.


I wonder if there'll be footage from practice, since pairs and ladies are happening. I guess I don't even know if it's open. XP

Oops Great minds think alike!

Just came to my mind, I think Yuzu skated second in Skate Canada LP this year. Came first in LP, and that was October. I have faith in Borser and Yuzu.

More Yuzu being mean to Pooh-san
What are you doing, Yuzu?!
--------------------------------------------

I can completely visualize this weibo msg from a Chinese fan: "Hordes of Japanese fans have landed en masse! The one in lead was holding Yuzu's clear folders up high"

 

[shiroKJ]

^ lol like the Piper's flute? To attract and lead all the Yuzu fans to the man himself
