I doubt that he can fully execute his difficult layout at NHK and GPF this time. It's much more demanding than 3 quad layout.

And I think he can. It's not about overall layout difficulty, it's about nailing quad loop. Other than quad loop other stuff in my opinion is going for him a lot easier than last year 3 quad program. He can do this program cleanly in practice. Now he needs to transfer this with quad loop in competition

And Im here panicking about his 4S-3T...
I'm not. There is no REAL diffrence between 4S-3T and 4S. It's all the same. Take off is the same and landing is the same. The only diffrence is timing on 4S in 2nd half, and that was his error at Skate Canada.
If he skates clean anywhere, the judges won't hold the score against him, it doesn't have to be in NHK. He is the world record holder + olympic champion after all.
He doesn't have to skate clean so early. Nailing 3 out of 4 quads would give him a high enough score. More than his free, I wish for a clean short

No. Do you want him to peak too early? He should make mistakes, a pop here, a pop there, a hand down..... all the way until worlds
I don't think the COR scores are relevant and the fact that Yuzuru is skating at home, his scores are going to be " cooked trough roof" as well, no matter how he skates

Yea, and when worlds will come and he will skate clean his quads , 3A and others jumps will be getting +1 at best

So nice of you to share these. Assuming these were all shot handheld (as I see some occasional wobbles) I'm really amazed by how stable you held your video camera while shooting these. Panning was smooth, and when the video was stationary, it really was stationary. Just excellent.
He was not underscored at last year's worlds and it was held at USA. I don't know why some would freak out over how he was scored at Skate Canada when the exact same thing happened last year. It will not carry on to other events. He still has the highest BV of all men (except Boyang and Nathan) and he is the Yuzuru Hanyu, They will give him another world record score if he skates clean.
Most skaters would have 2-3 great skate per season. It's just how things are, and if he wants to have a great skate, I prefer it not to be at a GP event.

Yuzuru has to skate relatively well the whole season to get as good GOE and PCS as his WR. This sport is about reputation and consistency as well. He might not skate clean the whole season, but he has to skate well whole season.No. Do you want him to peak too early?

I agree with this. He's not the only kid on the block any longer. Look at all the other people, look at yesterday. Reputation in this sport matters a lot but so does consistency and those two are intertwined. IMO this doesn't mean a clean FS at NHK is absolutely necessary (one popped quad won't mess him up or a 3Lz plus clean-ish jumps don't mean he's perfected the program; there're things to tinker with there regardless of jumps) but a clean SP is.

If someone found the clip of where she said this (I am guessing in the men FS/ Free dance event of CoR) please feel free to link it :luv17:
It would be funny to see her as his coach. Just imagine k&c Tarasova sitting next to him holding pooh

Tat does not coach anymore so just choreography might be enough. But I think Tat also does not choreograph anymore. Maybe if Yuzuru asked her... :luv17:It would be funny to see her as his coach. Just imagine k&c Tarasova sitting next to him holding pooh
I really would love to see a collaboration between those two, I feel like they could do wonders together. Another one I would really like Yuzuru to work with is Tom Dickson, I really like him a lot. But I also think Yuzuru is in excellent hands with both Jeffrey and Shae so I won't complain much. And David Wilson regains all of my love with his very beautiful exhibition program.

She doesn't, either one. And I don't think Yuzuru would ask her, which basically leaves us with her asking him. Overall, chances 0.1%
