Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[mcq]

Lol this pre olympic season hasn't even started for him and we already talked about his plan past pyeongchang

Anyway, I'm not expecting super-stellar showings from him this season but I hope we have at least a clean SP and a clean LP (doesn't have to be at 1 competition lol) so I can have a performance to save in my computer and watch over and over.
The expectation and pressure on Yuzuru is really out-of-this-world, it is still surreal how he handles it. Good luck for this season Yuzu!

Autumn Classics 2016

Here is the schedule. Senior men SP is 7.30 - 9.40 PM ET on Friday, September 30. FS runs 7.40 - 10.30 PM ET on Saturday, October 1.

Apparently Skate Canada will be live streaming online, but Fuji TV will be live streaming in Japan. So perhaps the Dailymotion live stream may be blocked in Japan. Japanese fans on Twitter were disappointed.

NEWS

In case you missed it,

Someone posted a video where they put together the several cuts of hope and legacy FS into a video. (credit to the poster, Layla Hong)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmuiHWquHbk

Aside of the 3F, all the other jumps are there (4Lo, 4S, 4S3T, 4T, both 3As and 3Lz) as well as the hydroblade and a part of the Stsq

EDIT : Meanwhile s nagi made a new video for the full version of his SP put together from several of his open practice videos. S/He included some videos from past practices of Yuzu doing camel spin to fill up the gaps in between, it is pretty cool

do note this might not what the final program might look like but it is pretty cool what s/he did since his movements matches the lyrics

TSL discussed some events that happened recently and talked briefly about Yuzuru's new programs. I know some people are not too fond of them but I'm posting it here for anyone interested.

On a side note, I found some pictures of the Yuzu ad's I saw during my trip to Japan few months ago I didn't get any pictures of the blood donation ad's but he looked really good in it

I saw him quite a bit in Kyoto, but surprisingly none of Mao, even in Tokyo I saw Nobu Oda alot though lol. He was in this commercial where he skated on a frying pan or something

Yuzu's new toy

Female fans already excited at the news of the "batching scene"
Upon receiving this information, female fan tweeted their excitements. Such as
"they've been converted to the bath from the new stretch is in the head professional (new program)"
"Yuzuru Hanyu is finally bathing scene debut"
"Mimmimimi' Minna calm down!"
(^^google translated)

A fan remember a scene from Prince's "When Doves Cry"

Some twitter accounts new username...."GoCrazy", "LetsStartYUDZlegacy", "CrazyPrince", "Yuzuru's Drag", "Go Prince Yuzu"

alia, Google translation seems to be doing its job seriously
Here is a slightly better one

"Finally, Yuzuru Hanyu is making a debut with bathing scenes."

"Mi, mimimi, minna, Ochi, Ochi, Ochitsuite!!" (difficult to translate) Ev, ev, everyone, just calm, calm, calm down!!"
(You should calm down first )

"In a breath, things inside my brain have been converted from his new programs into his bathing..."

Angelica @YHIFG fb quick & brief translation on Oda-san's commentary.
- He gave the 1st keyword about Yuzu, shown on the display screen. "Hate to lose". He said this is Yuzu's character from young and it's what fuels him to keep improving. Oda said he wishes so much to have this trait himself. (laughter)
- They looked at the base value for 4T, 4S and 4Loop. Then Oda showed how to do those 3 jumps, the difference in take-off.
- And he said the 4Lo is very hard to do because if you enter with too much strength to do the rotations, the edge of the blade will slip at the take-off and you will fall. (I think this is what he means.) Yuzu's 4Lo is perfect, very beautiful and he makes it look so easy.
- Oda also said last season, Boyang Jin also had 4 quads in FP, but Yuzu is amazing because of all the difficult steps he puts with his jumps and he is very good at all the other elements as well, like spins and steps, and expression as well. That is why he could get that world record score.

I can't wait for the practice reports :yay:
I always have the feeling as if everyone, journalists, columnists ect. are there just bc of him #TheHype

 

[liv]

Why can't it be Thursday already?

I should be happy watching Canada/Russia in hockey right now, switching channels sometimes to see prince william and kate and the kids arrive in Victoria... and season premiere week is on .... but all I want is Thursday practice footage, lol.

 

[Lambari]

I have my first hardcore exam of the semester the tuesday after Autumn Classics and another the same week. What a terribly hard weekend this will be. :sad21: I'm gathering my stuff together beforehand to watch just a couple of programs and proceed to lay my hands off anything remotely figure skating related. Will I be capable of it? Stay tuned. i won't

Is there a link for when Yuzuru said he wants to go to 3 Olympics? I can't recall it.

They both look so cute :luv17: It's rare to catch him with a hat on, and I love that Yuzu was the one taking the selfie

 

[DiamondDust]

Many thanks to the posters of the links of Yuzuru's new programs. I love Yuzuru and his skating (really fascinates me) and looking forward to his start of the season (and the costume ).

He really likes hats, doesn't he

 

[Biellmann]

Okay, i was dreaming about Yuzuru. He was at Autumn classic (i guess), he was skating, there was no 4 loop and i think he was falling on one jump. But the most interesting thing was his outfit. He was looking like - Aladdin! :rofl2:

I need to know Yuzu's skin care secret....

alien physiology :roll9: it's not a secret. everybody knows.

 

[Rissa]

My suggestion is, he will retire after the olympics, for one year, then they will beg him to come back and the first year back he will re-use his POTO FS, with 4 loop, 4lz and a crazy 4 A attempt, just for fun, and he will be better than ever :dev3:

I've always thought it'd be cool if he stayed after 2018 just for himself. Not for quads but for the 3A-3A-3A-3A, just for sht and giggles. Like, not caring about points, about rules, about placements, just throw that crazy combo in a competition just to say, "see this? I can and you can't".

The jump coach at the TCC told a girl who regularly trains there (but I don't think she shares the ice with him) that he has done 5 3As in a row :reye: and I'm willing to bet he did them with spreadeagles in between
It would be amusing to see him compete just to get his crazy combinations out there, like his quad+3A combination. I think Plushy once said that he wanted to work with Yuzu on a quad+quad combo? That would be something crazy to watch even from these two

I have no chance of getting that skin then~ :hopelessness:

Five... :eeking: five 3A in a row? yeah I bet it's something Yuzuru does.
