Yuzuru is King

Is the film over his eyes.

Look. They’re not just blue. The pupil is faded and tinted. So is the iris - that’s still green, but pale as all hell green. It’s like his cornea just got covered in a thin film of light blue and it freaked the hell out of me.

Someone overlooked by their family has an emotional breakdown and becomes a white-colored supervillain...

...who proceeds to blow up the moon...

...causing major elemantal destruction...

...that only time travel can fix.

And of course there’s umbrellas.

(Oh yes, I am back from the dead!)

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Plenty of drama happened in this past month, from Alysa landing a 4Lz to Anna landing a 4Lz to Sasha landing a 4Lz, 4T+3T and 4T and setting a world record. So, are these 4Lz’s legitimate? Or are they just flukes that managed to pass the eye of the judging panel?

Let’s start with a correct example of a lutz - Polya’s lovely 3Lz

You can clearly see two things - 1. outside edge, and 2. correct use of the toe pick, which leads to minimal PR. As you can see Polya’s toe pick hits the ice and leaves after her body turns ¼ of a revolution. In an incorrect lutz you would see that the skater’s full blade drops to the ice and only leaves after ½ a rotation. But I don’t think I need to elaborate any more on those topics, as they are commonly seen in many videos and posts. If you would like to learn more about PR you can watch triple flutz on YouTube. I think she does a very good job of explaining PR and its effects.

Anyways, so when looking for a CORRECT lutz (bear in mind, a correct lutz may not necessarily be a “good lutz”) we need just those two things! Outside edge and correct use of the toe pick.

So how about Alysa, Alexandra and Anna’s 4Lz’s?
