Why do you think Victor went to Nipland? Because
1. he thought Yuri was technically better/had more potential than the Russian Fairy
2. he thought Yuri was a better match for his style even though he isn't necessarily better at skating
3. Yuri gave him a boner
4. he wanted to give Russian Fairy a rival in order to further improve Fairy's skills
5. he thought Nip Yuri needs Victor specifically to get over his choke problems and bring out his full potential, unlike Russian Fairy who can do well under other coaches
6. midlife/retirement crisis put him in a slump so he decided to do some crazy shit that helps get his spark back
7. his body is no longer fit to keep competing so he wants to live vicariously through a young pure-hearted skater
8. his body is no longer fit to keep competing but he's trying to remain relevant in the skating world by stirring up drama and creating a Victor 2.0
9. other, explain
Pick and choose as many as you like.

He probably thought that Yuri performed it better than he himself did. The ballet lady remarked that the performance was more suited to a guy like Yuri, and Victor probably also saw that.

You mean emotional performance right?Minako-sensei may be right that the routine fit Yuri better, but there is no way he performed it on the same technical level as Victor. He probably just put out a decent copy, maybe even downgraded some quads to triples. The animation on his side looked rougher compared to Victor's too, perhaps it was on purpose.

It is probably a combination of the things you wrote. There is an expectation that he will soon retire, because he is supposedly getting a bit too old for the sport. If he himself doesn't feel like he should retire, he might want to do something to shake tings up.
