I never had too much of an issue with Kurt's comment about Patrick being a bigger skater than Yuzu because I think I understand what he meant. Often I feel like the arena is too small for patrick, like it can't contain him... whereas I find Yuzu fits the arena perfectly. I don' t see it as a critique of either one, just a comparison. My stab at an explanation is that sometimes Patrick approaches his quads like he is a freight train, while Yuzu is more of a high speed passenger train.... both powerful, capable, but with different weight behind them... hope that makes sense.

It makes sense to me. For me Patrick and Yuzuru both fit the definition of "big" skaters (great presence on and command over the ice, big jumps) but as you noted with such different styles that it is difficult for me to say one is "definitely" bigger than the other. I hope both of them and also all the other skaters give their best performances at Worlds in Boston tomake Worlds truly one to remember.

You know, when Kurt said Patrick was a bigger skater I thought he meant it literally. That Patrick is physically bigger than Yuzu, and that his size allowed him to do different things on the ice that someone smaller like Yuzu can't, or someone without that body type would have more difficulty accomplishing. I didn't take it to mean presence since Kurt has said multiple times that Yuzu commands the audience in a Plushenko-sequel way.
 
Yuzu says he likes Canada because of the environment and nature. He's in a position to chase Fernandez at the World Championships.
"It would be easy to say skating is my life, but life is more than that. For me, it is fun, fun and difficult."
Also, on april 10th Jonetsu Tairiku (a long running Documentary series) will feature Yuzu in their 900th show. -This is usually an in-depth documentary, so we will get to see behind-the-scenes footage etc.

Thank you for translating.
 
Guys what is written on this card: http://seobiiiiieluv.tumblr.com/post/141167019122 Is it new or did I miss it? Thanks a lot in advance!

情熱とは、可能性。(Jonetsu towa, kanousei.)

Passion is/means potential/potentiality/possibility.

Sorry, it's not definite enough.

EDIT:

I think this may be a scene of the TV program "Jonetsu Tairiku" (literally meaning "passion continent") scheduled to be aired in April. This is a famous series of documentaries.

Thank you! Well, if he talks about passion... hmm... can we expect a Spanish program from him? Carmen or something? I wouldn't mind personally.:biggrin:
 
Evgenia Medvedeva has such nice things to say about Yuzu in the IFS magazine
"He jumps so easily -even the jumps that others don't even think of," she said. "I really respect him. He is fantastic. I haven't seen someone like him before. And he is a nice guy. I chatted a bit with him, and I can say he is always positive and funny. But he works very hard, and for that, he gets my respect. He inspires me."
