Uh uh. Given how the problem might be linked to Yuzuru "wanting it too much" (by his own admission I think), focusing even more on worlds sounds like the best solution to make it only worse. He was fine in the SP and practices, but the pressure is different at worlds. IMO, this one was between...

I thought his speed was good. Not outstanding, but easily better than most of the other russian man. He's really smooth over the ice and has good basic skating, it's quite noticeable compared to the other guys IMO. Kovtuns SS for example aren't bad, but he doesn't hold his speed as well as Mika...

^ Especially if you take into consideration that Kovtun won this national title on PCS, while Mika slightly beat him in the TES. He has more quality in pretty much... everything (sorry Kovtun!). It'll depend a lot on how the new quad works at Euros. If he hits it, he could score pretty huge I...

It's not his fault, PChan jinxed it ;) I'm surprised though, I'd have expected him to either test it out at 4CC or leave it for next season. But he needs challenges, after perfect LPs at NHK and GPF, maybe just having it on his mind will help. Mama won't let him attempt it if it isn't ready me...

You say that as if he could just do a 3Lz3Lo like that... but we never saw him practice it. His solo 3Lo is great (and his 4Lo amazing), but that's quite different from when you have to do it as a 2nd jump in a combination. There's a reason we see so little of them. And he would have to invest...

I actually thought Wakaba did improve in the PCS area. At least that's what the pre-spin-fail SP looked like to me. She was so much faster and smoother than any other girl (even Maria or Mai), and I thought there was a little more audience connection there than last season. And then came the...

I believe he also said before that he wants to be the first to have done something - like being the first to land the 4Lo. It's just his personality. Actually, I'm just happy the 4A doesn't seem to be a goal (maybe, or something...)
