Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[Elaine666]

His practice jumps according to twitter: https://twitter.com/yumi_0511/status/802340051464007680

4Lo 2S 3F 4S-2T 2T 3A-3T 3A-1Lo-3S 4T


I hope that means he's super confident with landing that 3Lz now...

I guess that means in his back-up plans, if 4T is popped, he will make up the quad at very end

I wonder if he watches YOI to get that crazy idea...

Thank you It's always nice to hear Tracy commenting.

And thanks everyone who's been translating what commentators around the world said :agree:

Now that Yuzuru has broken 100 barrier again, I am not surprised that at GPF judges might try their best to give out as many 100 SP as they can to other skaters.

At least they waited for him to open the door and not just break in :scard8:

Thanks so much. Your uploads have the best quality.

Well, at least let's hope that if this happens it is for really worthy skating (not the ones with falls or quads with identity crisis).

 

[xibsuarz]

Watching his spins here, I can't believe he really practices it like 5 min per week. IIRC he said he didn't practice them much, right? :reye:

 

[Lindacrow]

well they already gave out a 200

not only in GPF, in the EC, 4CC and WC 100 SP will be likely

Do you guys think he will keep prince for the Olympics?

Do you guys think he will keep prince for the Olympics?

I hope not! But my gut tells me he probably will.

 

[Sydney Rose]

Do you guys think he will keep prince for the Olympics?

Highly unlikely.

 

[Danibellerika]

Do you guys think he will keep prince for the Olympics?

I hope so, but I actually think he might switch it up if he skates it cleanly this season. He does love keeping his shorts for two seasons, and they are all the better for it IMO...

So I just decided to go a little "Crazy" myself... I bought tickets to Worlds :shocked::shocked::shocked: In my mind I'm still going "am I really doing this again?!"

Hooray for you! Don't forget to pack the Pooh ears!

 

[Hanmgse]

Omg guys!!!!! I just finally watched his short and OMG I'm completely in love with it!!!! It's so soooo good

 

[moonkat]

One day, we will see him jump a quad in the last 20 seconds of his program

The Free Skate will be 4 minutes for senior men starting in 2018-19 season (down from 4 and a half minutes).

 

[Danibellerika]

Hooray for you! Don't forget to pack the Pooh ears!

LOL thanks! I'll certainly whip out the pooh ears and Japan flag! But reasons like the discussion above about if he'll keep the SP next season make me feel like I'd kick myself if I didn't take the opportunity to see this live. I mean, it's my favorite skater skating to one of my favorite artists out of the womb, and he's CRUSHING it!!

As a forever die hard Sasha Cohen fan, I can say I saw this picture and thought “Sasha would be proud”

:agree: Sasha's fan spiral, one of the best in the entire history of the sport!

This SP was almost perfect, just needs 1) to go up into that 4Lo without imitating the Leaning Tower of Piza and 2) that "Go crazy!" head movement before the flying camel :yes:

Wishing him good luck tonight, I believe he's ready.
