Yuzuru was asked why he puts 3Lz as the first jump in LP, and he said "Because it is my weak point(鬼門）." (I think he meant 3Lz was his weak jump)

LLLLLOVE trollYuzu so much!!!!!

I guess the succes rate must have been pretty high that they decided to put 4lz in program. I wonder if he is going to attempt it in actual competition or will just do 3lz at beginning as Orser said that only no quad loop here

"For the moment, I'm taking the precaution of avoiding the jump taking off on the right foot...and the jump puts burden on the right foot."
"Keeping good concentration and not caring about the body, I really want to do what I can do as one competition firmly."

I don't think he will attempt 4Lz in this competition because he has not tried single one in the practice. But we waited long enough, I don't mind if he will show us just one beautiful 4Lz in the practice near future

No practice streaming today?

Yude--thank you so much for posting the dailymotion link (blocked of course on YT). Complete elegance, grace, and strength in every line! Stunningly more so even since last year, IMHO.

I think that those are the qualities innate to Yuzuru, regardless of a program and season. They are there to stay, there's no point of questioning them, just wondering what will be the intensity of them.

Fingers crossed for today - I hope that the performance will go as Yuzuru would like it to go, stripped from difficulty or not,

What's counter-3A?

 

[Henni147]

I was a little bit disappointed about his run-through tbh... Very shaky 4Lo and (!) 3A and popped combination, but what made me sad: everything looked so half-hearted, tired, sloppy... no real choreo - focus on the jumps only...

To his defense: the Doughnut-spin was really awesome!

Another report

After run-through, advise from Orser and Tracy. 4Sso 3Lo eagle-4S 3A(hands) 4T-3T(rippon) 3A make sure of step

?? Its a run-though, no defense needed. He didn't even need to do the jumps if he didn't want to.

TBH because I worried about his knee pain, he could only do the steps and some spins and go home,and I'd be relieved
Even if he bombs badly the program,the only thing I'll care is for his health. I guess I have to wait until the night before starting to freak out.

I never expected him to show a perfect short programme (that would be mad). But I had the impression that yesterday he felt fresher and a bit more focused, didn't he?
