Yuuji's run was a combination of past runs of a few of the named people all wrapped up in one.. we had Kanno's nervous run from a couple tourneys ago, Miyazaki's run where he came back up the HPA, Shingo's path fail for apparently no reason and even that one guy that did a somersault on the JS and managed to still not DQ himself.. honestly I was surprised he didn't go out earlier simply because you can FEEL how nervous he was

Yeah I'm really surpried he didn't stop right there due to injury. Mad props for the recovery though. Yeah, I didn't have much reaction either but I think it was mostly because I didn't see him passing stge 1 after almost failing twice in a row.

I've always believed that Sasuke is half mental. There's no question that most of the top competitors have the ability to clear stage 1, and if it was just a couse in their backyard they would...just about every single time. The key to preventing mistakes is to focus. Block everything else out and just focus on the exact movements you will need to get through each obstacle. If I went to a tournament I might even go as far as to wear earplugs during my run. Just to make sure that I wouldn't get distracted.

Actually that wouldn't help.. part of the mental breakdown is DURING the tournament where you are NOT on the course... Being on the course itself with earplugs probably wont' help ya since you don't hear the crowd or even the announcer with any clarity from everything the competitors in the past have said.

Yeah David said that Yuuji looked really nervous even before his run began.

Arsenette got it right. You are the cause of your distraction, not the crowd.

Being on the course itself with earplugs probably wont' help ya since you don't hear the crowd or even the announcer with any clarity from everything the competitors in the past have said. Hell... Earplugs would probably make things WORSE.. You won't hear the crowd cheering you on... You can't hear everyone giving advice if you might need it... You'll only hear whats going on in your head... thoughts like "I hope I don't fail here", "Oh geez this thing was taking out everyone.. I don't stand a chance" or "I'm #100.. I have to clear..." (although that one only applies to Yuuji but...), So I think it's better not to wear earplugs... I mean sure you won't hear ogasawara if he's announcing your run but other than that they'd be worse... Hell.. if Levi was wearing earplugs in 20 he was probably going to fail the Kudari Ranpu Grasper...

Wearing earplugs would suck! The cheering should be supporting you! Even if you are 100! Yuuji was just really nervous this time around that is why he failed.
Lol if you wear earplugs how will you hear the buzzer?
