We have another version of H&L in the broadcast now? I hope so! He tried 3F and the performance was better.

I hope so too - we did get the three of Shoma's.... and the second two were much better than that warpaint thing.
 
Yes, we got Day 3's H&L....

H&F really looked like a pivotal week in Yuzu's rehab. Many new jumps and experiments, but also a huge power thrust. I think that was a key reason for all those minor and bigger errors, what do you think? :scratch2:

Anyway. I really liked that show and it's great to see H&L again :hap10:
 
Yes, I think so. He was getting his 4T back and trying the 3lo and 3f which he had said in interviews he wasn't practicing at all yet. :eeking:
I loved the 'game face' he had on at the end of H&L, and the highlight for me was his collaboration skating with Plushenko in the closing number.

Hope and Legacy is such an Amazing program and it makes me excited to see what he's gonna skate to next! Do you guys think he'll go for powerful like Seimei or for 'understated' like H&L?

He has Haru Yo Koi for his understated program, so personally I hope to see another powerful or even wild program for his SP/FP. :p
 
I would love to see something 'wild' LGC style :biggrin: maybe in the SP?

Would love to see that! :hap10:

With this year being the beginning of a new quad and him being satisfied after fulfilling his competitive goal (unless he set another one, I would not put that above him) it would be really nice to see him having fun in his programs and kind of loosen up a bit. :dance3:
 
Shinya agrees with you on Kozuka's comment, he seems to be a very honest person. He says in his opinion, Yuzuru's performances in PC Olympics and the way team Japan moved a ball in the game with Poland in the World Cup are completely different and not for comparison.

Team Japan in the Wold Cup didn't attack and was not offensive at all in the last 10 minutes of the game with Poland and lost it on purpose because they chose it that way to advance to the next game, and Kozuka gave the explanation that it was the same with Yuzuru's strategy in PC Olympics in terms of having easier jumps and aiming for the clean skate. Personally, I don't take Kozuka's words seriously but he could have made different comments since casual viewers were likely to misunderstand him easily.

Hopefully this won't get too ugly. I don't know whether that's Kozuka's real thoughts or he just said it for the purpose of show. But it certainly backfired on him. Next media probably will report Hanyu fans being too sensitive blablabla.
