Yuzuru Hanyu

[FTnoona]

^

me too
fingers crossed, a podium finish is not far from reach

8 points is still a lot to catch up though. Javier and him have a little back to back thing going on but Javier's got a 4 point advantage over him similar to GPF? He's never overtaken Dai yet overall. He's never gone against Amodio and Joubert yet has he? Brezina may run out of gas in his FS like he's been doing this whole season, but he may surprise us like at last years worlds.
On another note Hanyu beat Kozuka in PCS, given that Kozuka fell two times...

Hmmmmm I hope for a top 5 finish for Yuzuru then. He is still young, and this is his first worlds. Patrick Chan went to his first worlds as a 17 year old, and placed 9th. The next year he was silver, and he literally 'never' looked back.

However, I still have hope for Yuzuru. Hope he can pull off a top 5 finish

I have no doubt Yuzuru is next big superstar, he has it all
he will be No. 2 japanese this season beating Kozuka and hopefully soon will surpass Dai soon
after 2014, it will be his golden reign, imo

About the information of a page linked to by the blog.　There is the point that is lacking in trust.　It is common view that it's father to have named him, it's not mother.
The details are follows.
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%BE%...B5%90%E5%BC%A6

But, of course, it does not have change that he thinks of parents carefully.

Do you mean this article isn't reliable??
Well, then wikipedia is not a reliable source, either

But yeah, it's not a kind of thing that needs to debate here, so let's not talk about this any longer

Since Yuzuru is so superstitious, he should like where he is now if he likes number 7. He's at 7th place with a mark of 77.07.

LOL. Hmmmm maybe tomorrow he will be 3rd with a total score of 233.33 (if that will even place him in 3rd...)

He is also the 17th to skate tomorrow.

I added this tidbit to the LP thread.

It's seem the number indicate that he will end up on 7 or 17 rather than top five.

It's going to be top 5 and I am so damn happy I am right! :D

I just discovered Yuzuru's competitive scorecard is very similar to Plushenko's, and they both were bronze medalist on their world debut.

To think if Yuzuru had not singled the lutz in the SP..he might be skater to have won a first Silver medalist on their world debut :O

Looks like Chan may not have the OGM sewed up. I think Hanyu is going to be stiff competition and may be a serious spoiler in Sochi.

I'm a fan now. Always liked his skating, but he really brought it tonight...

....okay, done and calmed down again *lol*

Hihi, I'm sorry, I'm just so excited for this young man - and I was so nervous! I squeezed my own plush I-Ah (so sorry it's not a Pooh xD) nearly to death - and got half a heart attack when he fell. But so, so, so well done, he's already a little champion! So excited for the next season already!!
