What the heck why 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.

I don't think so. The fight of each skater is to go out right after the previous skater has finished and deal with the noise of the crowd and the flowers on the ice. It is worse for others who have to skate after Yuzu -which is why Yuzu requests the crowd to be quiet for the next competitor.
Yuzu was not saying that he was angry at the crowd, but rather that he wanted to gain their attention after Javi's program.
The crowd was wild because Javi had done so well. This is exactly what Yuzu considers the ultimate challenge.
To win after all your competitors have done their best.
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.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.
They yelled "javi" when Yuzuru´s scores came up too.
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.
You can hear it on You tube videos. It´s distracting:angry1:

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.
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.
The chanting happened before Yuzu started to skate, you can hear it in this video:
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.

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.
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.

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!
