Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season
- Thread starter GS Forum Staff
- Start date
No idea. With Tatsuki retiring I think he could have had pretty nice possiblity of taking even 3rd place at Sr Worlds :scratch:
Maybe JSF doesn't want him to experience his first senior competition at Worlds, which would be too risky even if he's very consistent, since succes at junior circuit doesn't translate exactly to seniors, especially with PCS scores, even if his JGPF results were very competitive at seniors. And they want him first to win Junior Worlds and after build some international senior success first, like Yuzuru did for example. For this, 4CC is a much "safer" senior debut.

@Kalina, Yuzu''s forum
Yuzuru was hospitalized so that he can be examined properly for his stomach pain. He lost 3 kgs because of the fatigue.

Poor kid. I'm worried right now...

I think Han Yan might medal if he pulls it together after the nightmare of season he had. If Denis does it too (I think he usually peaks late at the season (?), i'm not sure) he might get the title, his programs are just too wonderful, both of them. I actually want Denis to gain consistency and challenge for the top.
I want Yuzuru to win if he's flawfree, I know that he usually is excused of one or two errors, but I'd rather any of those two plus Javier or whoever to be honest, anything can happen. The worst scenarios would be either Yuzuru bomb (no!), or win but isn't clean and any of the top skaters doesn't but is clean
I'm not fond of Nam and I don't think he's there yet, he has the jumps (they are not outstanding though, there's room for improvement I think), the consistency, the coach but everything else for me is (??) I can't seem to like his skating ...
Anyway so much speculation, as If I ruled the "Worlds" ...
Also, If Yuzuru wants to "dominate", the best bet would be consistency honestly, because he already has the reputation, everything. Him landing consistently 1 quad at SP and 2 at LP would be much harder to beat than any Yuzuru with an inconsistent "supposedly quad loop", those quads seem so distant. But we know that he will be upping technnical content nevertheless though ...
I also want Yuzuru to be consistent but I want him to push technical content as well

I hope it's just due to some improper Spanish food, nothing more serious:hopelessness:

Omg, he was hospitalized?!!
Why is this kid hell-bent on breaking my heart? Praying its nothing serious....I also want Yuzuru to be consistent but I want him to push technical content as well
Well, a lot of times those two are very mutually exclusive at least for some time..
We know that a bunch skaters, attempt those types of quads in practice and land them yet this means nothing when it comes to competitive skating. I've heard that Javier can do all types except 4A of course, and I've read something about Max Aaron (?) landing another type too, there's much more reports I think, I can't remember right now, terrible memory. They are doing those quads since some years ago, of course doing them require a lot of talent but there's so much more into adding them to their actual programs. I think it would be great if Yuzuru manages to push some technnical content, he should just think more and more of his health and making sure that it's adequate and not sacrifice his skating too much and his body just for the sake of it. Let's hope he will 
If he loses more weight he might disappear. I hope that the hospitalization was really just for precaution and the problem with his stomach isn't very serious.

No wonder he skipped gala. He just couldn't do it. Oh no... It's official that I can never get easy when it comes to this kid.

Yeah if his body and health says that he can't do all the quads then it's understandable if he doesn't push himself to try to land them all in competition (he already pushes himself so much oh the injuries
) even with his current layout when done cleanly and consistently he'll win but knowing him he would push himself but overall I just hope and pray he doesn't damage his body too much before 2018 Olympics. :hopelessness:

I have a book with me that's a guide about symptoms, illnesses and surgeries. I looked up food poisoning in it and I would say it's pretty unlikely. It says symptoms can start within hours or days of eating the food. It's been over 2 weeks since the GPF. 2 weeks does not mean days. Plus it says most cases clear up within a few days.
I hope it's nothing serious either. But from what I read, it's probably not food poisoning.
But Yuzuru now have also quad loop and quad lutz
You got a point there with Patrick. And yes you're right, I forgot that our boy is practicing other quads (I might sound like a worry-wart but I don't want Yuzuru practicing the quad loop. Whenever I look at the loop, the take off seems to require effort on the waist and it might only worsen his back pains). Shoma is impressive for his age, but my bet is still on Nam. I think he's only getting better, but that's my opinion for now
I'll wait until the pre-olympic season

Yuzuru lost 3kgs due to fatigue, this means he was just 50kgs at Nationals???oh no that is just...too much.
That's only 110.231 pounds! (According to google when I typed in the kg to convert it to pounds) That's lighter than me! That's SCARY. WAY too light for him. Omg...
Now I hope so badly he's doing okay.
Praying that it's nothing serious! Thank goodness Worlds is 3 months away!
Hospitalized...hope its just precautionary. 
They'll probably have him do a CT scan to see if they find something and if not, they may have to do an endoscopy to make sure its not something serious since losing 3k's in a few months and abdominal pain is nothing to wave your hands at.....really wishing its just fatigue and stress since that can be cured with rest and time off.

All of Nam, Shoma, Bojiang and Adian (Pitkeev) are from the same generation, the 1997-1998 one, and they're all quite talented, but to catch up with Yuzuru they still have quite a bit of work to do: Nam must improve both his spin and his skating skill (hopefully with better speed his jump will be bigger), Bojang must improve both on components and goe, Adian on consistency and projection, Shoma must prove that this season wasn't the odd one out ( after all before last year national championship no one was thinking he was going the same route as Tanaka and Hino)... right now if I had to make a bet I would bet on Shoma, but all of them are still behind the 2011-2012 Yuzuru, and after that season Yuzu has grown exponentially in every aspect of his skating, and tackled most of his weakness (he has improved immensely on his skating skills, he has worked hard on his lines and extension with pretty good results and he has even improved his stamina).
Still thinking about Yuzuru's competition from now, it just now hit me how much a huge huge loss is the end of the competition between Yuzuru and Tatsuki, for both of them. They compliment each other so much. Tatsuki loses to Yuzuru in TES, and overall ice coverage and speed while Yuzuru can't execute programs with the sophistication, and type of complex choreography that Tatsuki does and was so unique of him. Both have weakness that are strong points of the other, and the competition between them would make both grow so much, they work so well as a balance. Tatsuki was perfectly capable of beating Yuzuru and taking gold at Worlds and several others international competitions, that's why it was so hard for me to see him struggle to manage skating and studies and them choose the latter. I better stop or I will transform this post into a mini farewell for Tatsuki, if it isn't already. Hours after and I'm still affected. Anyway. that's why it would be very healthy for Yuzuru to have a strong competition with a skater that have somehow different qualities, to be a continue incentive for improvement. Even if sometimes Yuzuru's motivation comes across as very steely, the existence of those types of competitions really matters. I'm really looking foward for Patrick's return, not only because I like his skating but because of this reason as well. I'm on a roll today with my rants, sorry
