Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[yhmafan]

News clip this morning

- Asaichi reported, Yuzu arriving and bowed to the reporter. Still image on the reporter phone.

- This program with Oda, translated by Angelica @YHIFG FB :
Hanyu "never stops evolving" and each season he adds a quad. Oda-san said, but for Yuzuru, it is not just that his jumps are amazing, they are are all beautifully connected and his expressions are wonderful too. He does everything very well.

I remember I was a bit concerned about his difficult layout (including 2 quads) in his FS two years ago and now he tries to do 4 quads.
After seeing Mao’s distress these days I came to think it more than before that I hope he gets serious from her case. Probably he would do it though.

Sorry it sounds negative. Now I only hope is that he is in good shape and wouldn't say "kuyashi" after his performances and his bangs is OK

Soooo much fan girl and fan boy-ing going on. Yuzu did seem to really get along with the Asa-ichi folks last summer. They all look happy to see him again.

The beginning of the video is so adorable and it's so nostalgic watching that interview from last year. I don't think he ever leaves a bad impression after an interview or show...

News regarding morning OP. Google translate is either telling me he didn't attend or that didn't attempt any quads. They also mentioned Nathan did some really good quads.

Yuzu only did the choreo in the run-through and did not try any quads.

I guess that means he will attend the afternoon's op so he did not try any quads in the morning session. Good strategy if so!

Good draw to me at least:clapper:Now I can sleep till 6am. Besides, main competitors all skate before he does and you know our boy:handw:

4 am for me, maybe it's easier to stay up instead of setting alarms... When I went to school my old phone was only able to have 10 alarms and that usually wasn't enough :hopelessness:

I'm traveling tomorrow morning and won't be able to watch NHK until next week

Do your best and good luck Yuzu!

So glad to see the three same age pals together again!

I think that is a good draw; at least he is not in the 1st group like I was worried he'll be. I will try to wake up to catch the first group as well though.
