what's in yuzuru's bag?
skates. skate guards. another bag. screwdrivers. a black hole teeming with an infinite number of audio listening devices. and one pooh-san to rule them all.
Hey Lia! I just read an article on Yuzu's scoring of the StepSequence from 2018-2022 which proves that he, as the only top skater, got worse and worse scores while the rest got up in the new system: https://sportlandiamartina.wpcomstaging.com/2023/06/09/nathan-chen-stsq/ Thought it might be of interest to you. Thank you for your fandom service! :D
Hi! I also read Martina's blog - her research and graphs are so important! It's been known that Yuzu got massively underscored post-2018 (he actually started getting underscored post 2016 GPF), but it wasn't clear how much.
Martina is putting things into perspective really well and it hurts to see that Yuzu, according to scores, has regressed considerably as a skater between 2018-2022, when, in reality, he only got better.
For anyone interested, here is Martina's twt and the link to her blog
Edit: Here's an easily accessible link to the one posted in the ask
