#OTD in 1952 – Birth of rock guitarist, Gary Moore, in Belfast.

Gary Moore was a guitar prodigy who was mentored in his teens by Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac. Green gave Moore his 1959 Les Paul Standard guitar after he left Fleetwood Mac. In Dublin, Moore joined the group Skid Row with Noel Bridgeman and Brendan “Brush” Shiels. It was with this group that he earned a reputation in the music industry, and his association with Phil Lynott began. Moore went on…

why do yuzu antis like to pretend he only skates to classical, traditional, or warhorse music, this is literally the same guy that did LMEY, LGC, and PW? and it's not like his classical, traditional, and warhorse programs are the same; tenchi is completely different in character and choreo from seimei, chopin is different from rondo, origin is different from H&L, R&J is different from POTO, etc. if you want to talk about versatility, he inarguably has it.

also fyi versatility is more than just skating to different genres, it's being able to pull them off with QUALITY

Do you think Yuzuru's free skate choreographies for 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons were beautiful? I always think David Wilson could do better. Also, because Parisian Walkways brought high PCS scores for Yuzuru, I blame the free skate choreographies more. But, I am not an expert for figure skating. So, I wanted to ask someone who knows more.

I am not an expert on figure skating either, but I observe this sport and its scoring for quite some time...

Actually his Notre Dame de Paris free skate of 2012-2013 is my least favorite competitive Yuzu program with Romeo and Juliet 2.0 of 2013-2014 a close 2nd...so though I don't think the programs are essentially bad, I just don't think they were the best choices for Yuzu. For Romeo and Juliet 2.0 I think it's also partly that his Romeo and Juliet 1.0 was so iconic, that a repetition of the same theme though not in its entirety seemed not the best option to me,but I know that Yuzu himself wanted to skate Romeo and Juliet again and also that he had ideas for the concept of the program 2.0, so David Wilson is not the sole one responsible for the choice. Again emphasizing that it's not a bad program at all, just that I think other choices might have been better. Notre Dame de Paris never clicked as much with me so I haven't rewatched it much. Btw back at that time I wasn't as attached to Yuzu's career as after the Olympics 2014, so maybe that's also playing a part on why it's not my favorites.

David Wilson - just like with any choreographer - did fabulous programs and not as good ones and imo David Wilson didn't seem to be the choreographer that fitted Yuzu's competitive skating best. I also think because the David Wilson programs did not click as much as other programs by different choreographers Yuzu never did another competitive program with David Wilson again. David Wilson however has created some very good exhibitions for Yuzu, actually those David Wilson exhibitions are among my favorites - Notte Stellata and Haru Yo Koi. As those programs were choreographed much later I think David Wilson may not have understood Yuzu's skating back in 2012-2013 as much as he did later. Yuzu was just starting to skate at TCC and maybe language barrier may also have played a part to not turn Notre Dame de Paris and Romeo and Juliet 2.0 into masterpieces. BUT this is also just my opinion, so it's also probably a matter of how you view Yuzu's skating and what you prefer if you think of Notre Dame de Paris and Romeo and Juliet 2.0 as fitting.

As for the PCS I don't think the choreographies are at fault for the PCS and I don't think they were "problematic" in the sense of too low. PCS at that time were a lot lower in general compared to after 2015. Judges did not hit the "excellent" button as often as they do now. Back in the day a PCS score of 85+ for the free skate was very high whereas today something over 90 for the very top skaters is normal. If you look at the PCS scores of those years the only one constantly having more PCS and in the low 90+ range was Patrick Chan, who was a master in skating skills and who had a higher reputation than Yuzu at that point. BUT Yuzu's PCS were among the highest in the field. So I don't think his PCS were bad at that time. Parisienne Walkways may have had an impact on the PCS of the free skate but maybe not in the way you might think.

Parisienne Walkways is a masterpiece that gave Yuzu plenty of world records and not many programs can compare to that at all, so it was hard to produce the same success with the free skate. BUT also you have to see that Yuzu did Parisienne Walkways perfectly and cleanly over time and a couple of times and his PCS increased over the time too. Neither Notre Dame de Paris nor Romeo and Juliet 2.0 ever reached that level of perfection in competition (a perfect FS in competition is in general harder to get bc of more elements, but also Yuzu did have some trouble with the free skate as he was struggling with exhaustion due to his asthma a lot more back when). And no matter if rules or not judges tend to judge clean programs with more PCS than those with mistakes. It's not how it should be, but that's how it often is. (You can see that especially in the steady rise of Nathan's PCS scores over his career)
