You're all welcome !
Actually while I was doing the translation I realized there was also the Team event SP there I had never seen before! So I did this one too in case you were interested. As the commentators are Canadian they talk a lot about Brian too of course ^^
If you ever need other translations from French videos just give me a shout. I might not do it right away because of lack of time but I'll get to it at some point. It helps me work on my translating skills anyway!

- 00 :00 : And now someone who’s having quite an interesting season so far. The Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu who’s being coached by Brian Orser and Tracy Wilson.
- 00 :27 : I’ve sometimes seen him making poor performances but when he’s on, boy HE IS on. (chuckling). This whole season I’ve seen him making errors and then at the GPF he completely owned the competition!
- 01 :08 : 4T!
- 01 :14 : He’s on a mission for Japan here. He’s settled his goal and his coaches told me he put a tremendous amount of efforts in his training. Have you seen the donut spin he’s just performed after the camel spin?
- 01 :42 : Wonderful position in the spin here.
- 02 :03 : And now the 3A preceded by a three-turn. Which means he doesn’t shift his weight but that he turns over and pushes on his leg.
- 02 :11 : And this will add bonus points to the base value of the jump.
- 02 :28 : Now the 3lz followed by the 3T. He’s in a tough position here with his body leaning forward but still he is able to perform the following jump. He’s got springs instead of knees !
- 02 :41 : The skating quality is excellent. And this is Brian Orser’s work here. Brian Orser who’s a skating god, an exceptional coach who led not only Hanyu but also Yuna Kim to this kind of level.
- 03 :03 : What a wonderful skater he is!
- 03 :11 : On the outside edge, the camel spin here. He reverts to an upright position on one foot. Sitting spin. And here you’ve just witnessed the winning programme from this section of the competition.
- 03 :28 : This season he got 99.84. I can’t wait to see how the judges will score him here. But in any case he was way above the other competitors.
You’re right. That was wonderful. Quite extraordinary. A very high level of skating here. And this is such an extremely nice person, so pleasant to talk to, and a wonderful skater on top of that. Congratulations to Hanyu and to his coach who you’re going to see on your screen any minute now. Brian Orser who went from being a competitor to a coach, a very high-level coach, which is something that you don’t see that often. Here he is. Here is the man who was able to pass on all his knowledge and sensitivity to this skater.
- 04 :20 : Let’s watch his 4T again. Look at this. Perfect ! He knows what he’s doing here!
- 04 :30 : (Talking about his 3A) Then see how he turns over here. This is what we call a three-turn. And here he goes again on the same leg. This particularly difficult move requires quite exceptional strength and precision.
- 04 :43 : (Talking about the combo) And that’s where it got tough, his exit from the 3Lz wasn’t that good but still he went on.
- 04 :59 : I was looking at Orser from the corner of my eyes during Hanyu’s performance and you should have seen this. He was skating too!
You did good to watch him. He is quite a sight to behold !
- 04 : 59 : And he is not a constraining coach, he is always able to play on nuances and sensations. He is equally good with the steps and the jumps. And he had such a difficult time you know. He’s always been beaten by the Americans for the Olympic gold. It was Scott Hamilton in 84 and Boitano in 88. So he never got the medal he had come for, the gold medal.
- 05 :50 : I can’t wait to see the score. A personal best to beat for him… 97.98. It’s below his 99 points but it puts him in first place of course, above Plushenko and Patrick Chan. Han Yan is 4th and Florent Amodio 5th.
For now Canada is in 3rd position.
Very nice.
: compared to 2011's to be honest 
that's like super awesome.
