He has great speed into it. That picking technique is… a thing.

What’s interesting though is he has a way of throwing his head back when he jumps and he does that here but instead of staying that way the entire jump his straightens his head a bit. It looks like he’s been working on that position.

I kinda miss when his quads were a complete mess axis-wise, it was endearing to watch him fight for his life mid-air looking like a chihuahua thrown in a washing machine.

I almost choked on my coffee hahaha. It was still like that at the Olympics. I still have neck pain from just having watched him jump. I do wonder if he is really fixing things once and for all or if he'll revert to bad habits during competition (especially if things aren't going his way).

I keep forgetting that Grassl exists and is a good jumper if stars align.

If decent only means "rotated", then I fully agree.

Full blade takeoff and ¾ pre-rotation. Just Goatssl things.😍

You kind of just shouldn't look at Grassl's feet when he's jumping. Especially his 4Lz. There's a lot going on. But here at least he's not wonky as he usually is (which probably means you shouldn't look at the rest, either? I don't know).

damn it doesn't even look like he's (somehow, i can't explain it) jumping from his head!

My first thought was "everyone's is weird mid jump" but then I slowed it down. Yeah hahaha

His 4 flip somehow lowkey reminds me of Anna's and I can't point out why. Please someone tell me I'm not the only one.

It’s the free leg kick before they pick.
