Yuzu, no. No. :slink:

oh no, he is not trying to do something more difficult. he just felt that what he is doing is easy. it is the matter of his mental. When you tackle someting difficult, your mental will be eased when you can feel it is easy.
 
That was a great skate from Yuzuru. At least he didn't land on his knee this time with the 4lo. really love love love the jumps after that. Beautiful! Congratulations! Looking forward to his soothing LP. :hap10:

Ah, all right because that sounded like he thought his own technical content was easy compared to the 4Lz and 4F Nathan was doing! Which of course, would make him just go up ... good to know! :laugh:

About the problems, he says SP is up tempo music and needs the art of expressions, so he can improve it more, especially presentation. Further he has something rough here and there even though it is also his arm. Still his skating is like the one by a rising teenager skater (thus he is aiming for more mature performance), to show the contrast of slow and fast parts, something laid deep in the lyric, including in his heart.

I really like how regardless of how already improved and polished he is, he still aim to be better and realized his own weakness. Most skaters would just be satisfied being where Yuzuru is, yet like he said to Brian, he wants more! :laugh:

No matter how well he performs, Yuzu will always find something he believes he could have done better. That's the mark of a true artist in any field.
 
I'm so happy today. Better performance and his movement looked sharper (the purple outfit does help :laugh:). Just saw the protocol and he got Level 4 for stsq and +3 Goe for 3A. Great stuff. Can't wait for tomorrow
 
Quick translation of Dutch Eurosport commentary.

We are anxiously waiting for the next skater, because that’s Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu, Last year he won here, two years ago he barely made it, partly (ehm?) due a collision in the warming-up so he had to skate with a head injury. He wore a bandage. Did make it to the final where he was again magisterial (Dutch: magistraal). Let’s hope that this time, he is magisterial a bit earlier than normal with this short program in Sapporo.
He has added difficulty to his SP this season by adding a quad Rittberger (loop?). Didn’t yet manage it in Skate Canada. Here it comes, out of steps… Oh no, with a lean! Oy, he manages to land it, only overrotated the loop. Anybody else would have fallen. Quad salchow, beautiful, triple toeloop. Triple axel.
Yuzuru Hanyu, and like I said before, every season, at Skate Canada, every time he raises the bar, his new programs ever changing, becoming more difficult, and then there are those Grand Prix and the programs just don’t succeed yet. Ivo, like you said in the introduction [uhm, of the complete coverage of the event, I guess, haven’t checked that out], of the 13 times he’s started in a GP, he’s only won three. That’s just how it is, it’s a work in progress, but he makes such fast progress, and by the time there’s a GP Final weekend, never mind the Worlds, then he’ll skate more world records. And here, too, it was already better than in Canada, he was much closer to that quad loop. In Canada not just a mistake with the quad loop, but also the quad salchow, opened at the triple, and that one, too, was a turn extra this time. And how nice for the audience that it happens here, in Sapporo. And you can hear Orser say, “You’re a little bit out” [not sure if that’s what he said, but that’s what the commentator thought he said], that’s pobably about the loop, because he was out of the circle, the inclination as we call it (haha, she explains the English to the Dutch audience), and here we’re going to look at it, the loop, you can see he leans a bit too the left, out of the circle, but he can phenomenally still land it, just a step-out. He was much better in the air with the quad salchow and was easily able to add the toe-loop. And here, yes, this shows his great quality, step - step - and into the air for that difficult triple axel after which he immediately follows with transitions and choreography. He “plays” with the easier jumps, although a triple axel isn’t easy at all. [cut some blabla about the people who worked on the program] Funny how he lists only 14 hours of training on his ISU biography, that’s not that much. *she laughs* Yes, he says is, I was this close!
And to think if he had landed that quad loop, it might have been time for a new world record. It’s at 110.95 and he skated it, well, it’ll be a 100+ score, that goes without saying, 103.89, of course terrific, the first 100+ score this season, and he’s not saving it for the Final, but does it here in the regular Grand Prix in his home country, and takes the lead.
