What the heckwhy are you sayng that the crowd acted disgustingly?
When it´s your turn and people are yelling the name of someone alse (ignoring you), this is very disrespectful. And in my eyes disgusting.

The score for Javi had not been seen yet. The replays were running at the time Yuzu did his 3A. -So it was technically still Javi's time.
Did someone who actually was at the arena tell you that? Or were you there to confirm this? Come on, the audience always gets excited with popular skaters. And as Specs said, it's normally worse for the skaters who perform after Yuzu. He had TONS of support there, in case you missed how the audience screamed during the warm up when Yuzu's name was announced.
And the skater's turn starts when his/her name is announced.

None of the GS members who were at the event mentioned that bit but I'm curious. Can you provide me with the link of the video you've watched. I didn't hear it in the other vids.

I heard coordinated chants just as he was sitting down after thanking the audience (8:38), and also when he got his head down and started crying (around 9:37). But it definitely doesn't sound like "Javi" to me And if you watch the video that the translations belongs to, you'll hear the testimonies from the Spanish people saying Yuzuru's the best, he got a standing ovation from everyone in there. Javi is their guy, but they also acknowledge great performances like Yuzuru's when they see it. And if something like that had happened, I'm sure the media would have asked him about it or would have said something. Remember when the audience in Sochi was shouting "Russia, Russia" after Yuzuru skated his SP at the team event? He got asked about that.
But perhaps someone who was there could tell us

Thanks for providing a link to a video with no commentary. I finally was able to watch and listen to everything without getting distracted by the commentary. Honestly, I didn't hear any "Javi" chanting from the vid.

An article from Spain says that at least 2500 of the almost 5000 in attendance was from Japan.
The chanting happened before Yuzu started to skate, you can hear it in this video: https: /vimeo.com/148750325
My friend was there in person and she said it was actually very scary at the moment, the fans just went NUTS and they were not only chanting JAVI!! JAVI!! loudly, they were also stomping their feet, so much that the area she was seating in was shaking
But I wouldn't say that's disgusting, the locals just got a bit passionate for their skater who skated clean after two clean skates from Patrick and Shoma (who got standing ovation all around as well!) They also stomped their feet when Yuzu came out during the gala performance too. I suppose that's their way of approval!
I actually see this from a positive perspective, I'm so proud of Yuzu to 1) come up with a quick plan to control the crowd chanting with his 3A
; 2) be able to hold on to all the pressure after the great skates from the 3 guys and staying calm in such super excited environment. I think this is great training for his mentality for the next Olympics! I'm sure he will take note of this experience and become an even more stronger skater that can handle all kinds of situations.p.s. not sure if anyone else is seeing the video being embedded in the post, I did a preview and it only showed the linked url, but after I hit posted now i can see the video being embedded instead of the usual URL link. Anyhow if the linkage violates the forum rule mods please feel free to remove it, the link is here: https:/ /vimeo.com/148750325 (I put a space between after https:/ so the video won't be embedded again)

Thanks, Dasani. I can definitely see the embedded video in your post. As for the chanting, I heard the chanting for Javi before Yuzu started skating, but I was listening for it after Yuzu received his scores as sloveniangirl had commented. Judging from the videos I have seen, the crowd has been supportive of all the skaters and are appreciative of their programmes.

Oh I do apologize! I've totally missed the discussion point here and went on rambling
Nah, just checked again with the same friend who was there....the fans were all so crazy for Yuzu after he skated!!! She didn't hear any Javi chant at that point
and if such chant even exist at that moment I bet I'll be 120% covered by the loud cheers from the Yuzu fans hahaha.

No worries. I'm glad the crowd in Barcelona was great. And I do agree that if there were ppl chanting for Javi when Yuzu's scores were announced, they would have been drowned out

yes, it happened before to me too, its some software issue that gs8 said they are working on, so no worries about violating anything
Oh will you stop?
I was there, nobody behaved disrepectfully or disgusting. Before Javi's scores people were chanting "Javi", yes, and stomping their feet and hey, their homeboy skated brilliantly, I chanted "Javi" myself. Yes, there was an outburst of ovation when the scored came up because heck, Javi broke 200, I was standing up myself. It was all when Yuzu was still warming up, before he was annouced. When he took the ice people clapped for Yuzu and shouted for him to do well, and even if there were a few leftover shouts of excitement for Javi that I missed, so what? People had reason to be happy for Javi and once Yuzu started preparing for the skate, everybody concentrated on Yuzu. There was no "dsirespectful" behavior that I could notice.
Lol, that's not true. When Yuzu's scores came up everybody was beside themselves for Yuzu. Really, there was no "Javi" shouting that I could notice. Heck the entire arena stayed put to listen to the interview with Yuzu.

Yep, absolutely nothing disrespectful about it.
As for "Javi!" chants after Yuzu's skate - uh uh, where I was sitting, it were "Yuzu! Yuzu!" chants! And I think a good number of Spaniards were among those.
Javi got a little bit of extra love compared to most, okay, but the crowd was so supportive of everyone. And nobody complained at all that Yuzu won, everyone was ecstatic for him. It was an amazing crowd!

I thought I heard "Yuzu, Yuzu", when I watched the video. But I didn't know if my ears were deceiving me, good thing they weren't
Thank you for sharing
