Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

[Rissa]

Guys, seeing how D10 has withdrawn from 4CC due to injury, and how many skaters are down right now, I feel so relieved that Yuzu got all the injuries out of his karma last year. Now I will be praying that training the 4Lo won't come at too high a price.

I hope he stays as injury-free as possible until 2018. It's a Good thing that, after last season, he knows how important it is to remain healthy and takes care of himself.

I really hope so. I really do :hopelessness:

Analysis of Yuzuru's Seimei.
The original article was written by a Russian. In the post there's a link to Chopin analysis as well. There's gif to demonstrate the moves.

My friends have spent so much time on these articles. Hopefully from now on those folks that say "Hanyu has no transitions" or "Hanyu's programs are empty" will shut up. His programs are the hardest.

Oh thanks for the link - do you the Russia original which was used? This Russian here wants to see it in the end...

All the original links are included in the tumblr post already, you just have read it carefully.

 

[Fayruza]

so it is, sorry.

Fabulous, fabulous analysis. Thank you to the author and translator for helping me to see, and thank you, Meoima, for posting!

You and your friends are awesome,

Oh I remembered I found this link once, but then came across something extremely toxic about Yuzuru there, which put me off. This particular writer is brilliant, though.
Kudos to everyone involved in the translation. I wouldn't have dared...

I also came across the toxic article which criticized his performance badly lol. But they forgot one thing, the scores he got were in relative with other skaters in the same competition. So no matter how high his scores are, it simply means the judges want to say "in this competition he is vastly superior than other men" which I think it's fair because with his performance he shouldn't get less than what other men get.

Funny enough the toxic article was written by a crazy fan of some certain skaters. I couldn't help but laugh so hard. I mean certainly I have skaters I don't enjoy but I don't waste my time writing some hate article about them. I'd rather celebrate and promote the ones I love. :luv17:

Are you referring to that blog post on sports.ru?

Yeah, I am. I always try and see in any blog what people write in general about my faves. That toxic writer was a Patrick Chan fan, as far as I gathered. No jumping to conclusion as to Patrick fans in general though.
Russian blogs in general tend to be... less polte, I'd say. Very blunt and very judgemental.

I don't think we're talking about the same article then because the sports.ru blogger is most definitely not a Chan fan.

Hmmm, perhaps not. I just came across an article about Patrick's performance at the Canadian nationals, written in glowing terms, then Yuzuru was put down as a grossly overrated skater. This is the point where I stopped delving into it any further.

Was there anyone to say something like that ? I think only one user here said something liek that, but he clearly had no idea what he was talking about so doesn't matter
Hanyu deserves the highest transitions marks for both programs

Yuzuru Hanyu Quad Collection 15-16 season

His quads are outstandingly pleasing to my eyes. (needless to say, his other elements as well )

So funny, all true

This keeps reappearing on my tumblr

Today in history (13th Feb), Yuzuru Hanyu became the first man to break the 100 mark in short program..."I did it!!"

Happy Valentine and 2nd anniversary of Olympic gold to Yuzu and everyone

Yuzu's Golden Olympic moments
- His sportsmanship...helping Machida, bowing to audience/javi/coach, cheering for Javi
- Yuzu and his idol
- Cute off-ice fall
- Running towards the bus dragging his trolley bag and bowed to the journalists/media
- Team event SP and K&C
- "I did it!", 101.45
- When he thought the gold was lost, "Katta!...oh my god!...I'm first?", papa and student hug
- proud papa moment at flower ceremony, the lady presenter patted his cheek
- medal ceremony
- Gala the White Legend performance especially the long sit back and twizzle on one leg (not sure the name of that move) and dancing with Yulia.
......and many more other moments I'm sure.

I love that we have many Yuzu's moments at every events captured by the official camera, media, fancams, fans' tweets which mostly made into fanarts etc. For every event I believe we can have at least an hour of Yuzu moments video.

Edit to add: Thank you to his family, all his coaches (BOrser, Nanami Abe, Tsuzuki, coaches when he was younger and Pooh), his teams (Mrs Kobayashi, Mr. Kikuchi, etc), his friends, his fans and everyone that has helped & supported him throughout his journey as a skater and a person.

2nd edit to add: I forgot to add Tracy Wilson, choreographers (Jeffrey Buttle, David Wilson, Shae, Russian team for R&J1), Nanami's husband Yoshida-san & people of Sendai, his team mates, JSF/TCC, photographer Sunao Noto, his idols & senpais.....I'm sure there are many more people that I've missed or behind the scene who has supported Yuzu in his journey.

Throwback Sochi 2014 pics from Javier Raya's fb

Thanks for sharing all the wonderful memories of Sochi!

One of my favourite moment from Sochi is how Yuzu dealt with the Japanese media after one of his practice sessions, he was being very do-s and told them they are only allowed to ask ONE question! I can't imagine how much pressure it must have been with all the media following him around and wanting to ask him a million question everytime he enters the venue. So I felt really proud of him to take control of the situation and not to be carried away with all the media distraction.

For those who haven't watched it yet, here is a brilliant recap video of Yuzuru's Sochi experience by Sugar Autumn containing many of the moments Alia had mentioned. The same video edit by Sugar Autumn this time set to the dramatic "Carmina Burana" music by Ana (WhateverHime). The video links had been posted before in this thread and bear rewatching on this anniversary of Yuzuru's Olympic win.

I enjoyed all the posts reminiscing experiences watching Yuzuru win the gold medal in Sochi. I became a fan after watching his 2012 Worlds LP, but it was upon watching this video some time later that I just had this clear presentiment that this boy would be Olympic champion in Sochi. Maybe the author of that video also thought the same because the way it was made seemed to point out that he was destined for great things. For me, it was sweet to see him achieve his heart's desire in Sochi after working so hard training in a foreign land. I could relate because I was then a homesick (very) graduate student.

Not a huge fan of TSL but very very nice words about Yuzu from Tracy Wilson http://youtu.be/uR1d6ea78kw

Edit: if this interview was tape recently, then Yuzu should be coming back in about 1 week to Toronto (according to Tracy)

Yuzuru will appear in a program "Disasters that you can't learn in textbooks - 5 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake" on March 1, 2016.
