Roger Blomquist (male commentator) – Brian Orser standing there, old champion. Nowadays he is coaching Yuzuru Hanyu, Japan’s Olympic Reigning Champion. Regarding the World Championships, bronze in 2012 and 4th last year, second at 4CC twice and Junior Champion once. It is now meant (the plan of Orser and Hanyu) that he is to become World Champion as well, on home turf, in Tokyo. He’s from Sendai, north of Fukushima that in turn is north of Tokyo. (He) has moved to Toronto, Canada to be coached by Brian Orser. ((Yuzuru is in start position))
And now we want you (all) to calm down a little bit so that he is allowed to concentrate ((Pretty sure he is referring to the audience)) Yuzuru… ((Program starts)) Music by Garry More, Parisanne Walkaways”((Yuzuru falls))
Lotta Falckenbäck (female commentator, the more tech-savvy of the two) – Nooo!
RB – And so he falls, the Olympic Champion, with the quadruple attempt!
LF – He was very tilted in the air
((3A))
RB – 3A, really good
LF – Yes, difficult entry on one foot, (with) height, distance… and in the second half of the program… ((Yuzuru setting up for the combination)) as the combination also is…
((Combination))
LF - There it is yes!/Now it clicks! ((bit difficult to translate))
RB - 3Lz+3T, cashing in the points
((Program ends))
RB – Yes… He is swinging with his head a bit because he knows he fell on the quadruple, and that means there are a lot of deduced points of course, -3 GOE from all the judges, as it should be, (from) those nine who are judging… But when I look at the 3A Lotta that is the best 3A that I have seen during (this) World Championship and he gets, very rightly so, +3 GOE from the judges because of that
LF – Ah yes, he also does a difficult entry into the jump, which I hope we will get to see again, when he turns on one foot and then jumps
RB – He gets for example 12.35 for the 3A and what you should all know (viewers) is that the 3Lz+3T, which is the combination jump, gives him 12.41 so it (the 3A) gives him almost as many points. He almost gets as much points for the 3A which is a single jump as he gets for the combination which should tell you all at home how technical difficult/well-executed that 3A is
RB - … And now I think he needs to order two extra bags so that he gets all this stuff home, right? ((Lotta laughs)) Lucky it is not very far from home for him… Brian Orser, satisfied coach… You know Brian Orser have really gotten a lot of good skaters, male and female, to his stable
LF – Yes really, he also had Yuna Kim when she took the Olympic Gold in Vancouver and after that she has left for other places but he has really gotten a lot of great training opportunities where he is in Canada, working together with Tracy Wilson who is an ice dancer
((Re-plays start))
LF - … Now we will have a look at the landing first and foremost… look the blade turns a little bit which means that (the jump) is lacking a little bit and that it is somewhat underrotated. But the axel, look there he is turning on one foot before the he jump ups so really with the exception of the quadruple jump which wasn’t completely right everything else is just fantastic
RB – 101.45 you all heard was the WR that he set at the Olympic Games, the 13th February this year in the SP. He is not getting there today of course… but such a champion like him can afford a mistake I would argue, because he has such good spins, step sequences and good tempo and (is) such a skilled ice skater so he can even due to this break onto the podium with the help of the free skate
LF - That is what makes the difference/is the deciding factor, it is the quality ((she emphasises this word)) of what is executed… And they are not machines - they must be allowed to make mistakes at some point
RB – Yes true, and such pressure he have been exposed to/put under since he became Olympic Champion of course…
((Points revealed))
RB – A 2 appears (2nd place), he beats Verner with about 2 points but is almost 7 behind Machida
If they are more than 500,000w though, I doubt I will try...)
I'll cheer a lot of Yuzuru!
i wonder if he would betray Pooh and say "sorry, i need to crash this wall"
I want to see Yuzuru again. Then after 4CC the WC is another month hay!
Just cruel!
