Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

[xibsuarz]

Yuzuru greeting/talking to the ISU/SC staff during gala practice. The guy is Peter Krick, Sport Manager Figure Skating. This boy is really something in terms of respect. [cr. and da_sani for id-ing him]

Confused & lost Yuzu = everyone running to help him [cr.] :gclap: (Zoom in to see the their faces lol)

Gliding around and practicing his edges @ 00:44 :luv17:

Hop, Hop, Hop

:laugh15: Everyone seem to like Yuzu: Gabby, Adam, Jeremy and Mervin all went to help him out and he was all "wait! not all at once!". And wow, that video really shows how fast he is across the ice :hap85:

:sad46: AnAn Magazine is already sold out....and preorder's only been out for a few days! I was still trying to figure out how to check out on JP amazon :sad14:

 

[kiches]

I was planning to check out on amazon.co.jp with the An-An magazine too and it's already sold out Well it was on pre-order, maybe it'll be back in stock before the release date?

 

[malo42]

Ahh I just went to check Amazon for Anan too because I dragged my feet for too long deciding if I really wanted it or not (I used to buy many Japanese magazines but it got expensive and wasteful so I try not to do it so much anymore...) and I finally decided what the heck I'd buy it but like the last two posts said it's gone already! :sad21: I also hope that they might put it up again.

 

[kiches]

I signed up for an email alert on Amazon Japan, hoping it comes back in stock. I tried checking if cdjapan has it listed yet but it's not up for pre-order yet.

lol the gif when everyone's like crowding around him trying to explain whatever it is is hilarious..
What's more amusing is like first it's Jeremy, then Gaby joined along and Jeremy for some reason wanting to pull Yuzu to the side, then Adam also participated short after, and then probably two more guys also jumped in... he must've been overwhelmed with all the English and instruction. It's so cute though like they kinda baby him oh well who would blame them.

AnAn magazine seems to available again for pre-order on Amazon.co.jp The checkout procedure is not too hard since some portions can be changed to English. Ordered mine yesterday, to pick up from my friends when I get back to Japan for the New Year holidays.

"Rafael: Yuzuru Hanyu's free skate was severely underscored in the PCS. I'm sorry, there is no way that Patrick Chan had Yuzuru beat by over 6 points. I could concede with a difference of maybe 3 points, which still would have given Patrick the win in the free skate and overall, but Yuzuru had a great skate in the free. Perhaps if it hadn't been for the disaster of a short program, Yuzuru would have skated later in the event and brought up the PCS, but isn't the new system supposed to fix that problem?"

I agree with Rafael about the scores for the FP. They over-scored Patrick a a lot. Yes his program was clean but not That great.

Absolutely agreed. During Patrick's performance the stadium was exploding with the cheers and I was like "Hey guys, what are you cheering for? That was only a triple toe, of course he can perform it cleanly. Anyone can." I don't say Patrick didn't deserve 190 for free skate but I was waiting for at least 194 for Yuzuru and I was shocked when I saw 186.

I understand the cheers. He was on his home's ice, therefore Canadian fans cheered harder for him. But the thing that the judges "cheered" for him just the same is a bit very unfair.
To add: the scores from the SP did bring the totals down but here again, i believe one can't judge both programs bad just because one of them was.


Edit: I watched the competition on a Russian channel and i love how the Russian commentator said that he doesn't think Lethbridge will hold any more ice competitions because a big percentage of skaters, especially the strong ones, were unlucky and ended up without one or two elements.

You know, I can live with Patrick's PCS advantage this time, cuz he was great, Yuzu was tired (it seemed he was less tired at Autumn Classic), it was Canada... I don't like TES difference here, just hope it will be another story at other competitions.

Same here. Yuzu's 4S and Chan's 3T (popped 4T) had the same +GOE, that's something I just can't get over with.

 

[HanDomi]

I just wonder what's happened with Yuzuru's 4S. He was falling all over the place with it, and now it's just soooo solid. The only thing diffrent I just spotted he have slightly diffrent rythm of 3-turn before jump and he is going now confident and calm for it when in past he sometimes rushed to it. Maybe he just needed to land it nicely on competition to unlock it or something :cool14:
