more importantly, from numeorus experience, what happens in practice means nothing to what will happen in actual competition :p

I don't follow practices much, but doesn't it vary by skater? I mean to say, it's more of a clue for some skaters than others. How is it for Yuzuru?
 
Yup, really good shape even. The 'worst' seem to have been the pops on the 4Lo but he fixed that and he didn't fall. And with it being the first practice on this new ice, overall quite good.
And so true. Sochi prior to SP for one! :laugh:

Also Sochi LP runthrough where he nailed his 4S and else but then :p
Anyway I just wish he remains healthy and in top form for the actual competition. No need to overexert himself in practice. :hap10:
It does seem like he learnt and does not overjump and overquad himself during practice session now.

There isn't even a pattern for Yuzuru in particular I think. There were days when he had good practice and then good competition, bad practice and good competition, bad practice and bad competition or good practice then bad competition. I think it is overall the same as well for other skaters. How they do in practice really reflect very little on how they will do in competition.
Though for those who are going the downhill road or are not in shape, bad practice almost always result in bad competition too

Overall a good start and hopefully Shoma didn't give him weird ideas with those 2A-4T and 3A-4T combos! Though I don't mind if he gets pumped. :)
Those attempts by Shoma Uno were heavy UR. If I were other men, I would not mind.

Overall Yuzuru will keep the current layout for 4CC I think. He might want to maximize the current layout first before adding new tricks.
 
I have the H&L chsq clip on repeat cause its just so beautiful :o:

And Yuzu being Yuzu, he greeted fans/reporters in Korean :biggrin: I wanna hear it haha

Reading from google trans :

it is said he likes the rink and the ice (it is in good condition). The reporter said "you have many fans in korea". He introduced himself in Korean, saying "Hello everybody, I am Hanyu Yuzuru" then Hanyu said, After asking the reporter what "thank you for supporting" is in Korean, he laughed at the broadcast camera and said, "Thank you for the support"

He said : "I had never been to Korea before, but I visited for the first time because of this tournament," he said. "I do not know much about the difference between Korea and Japan. I feel comfortable."

Hanyu said, "I have not yet eaten Korean food, but Samgyetang, Kimchi, and Sukdobu know it."

Hanyu said, "There are a lot of competitors such as Patrick Chan (CND), Nathan Chen (USA) and Uno Shoma (Japan) who are looking to win the Olympic Games." These athletes are all excellent. "I respect the competitors, but I am confident that I will win the Olympic Games." (Yuzu what lol).

:rofl: Yes he is on the Olympic rink but does he forget it's only 4CC right now :laugh: Getting ahead of himself here lol :laugh:
 
^I wonder if he said the entirety of "annyeonghaseyo hanyu yuzuru imnida" or just the first half lol. He must have put some practice into it :p

And that OGM statement makes me :laugh:-:eek:-:devil:...similar to when he talked about the 4A...


A really blinged out banner :biggrin: all sequined just the way he he likes it haha (I wonder how heavy that thing is though...yikes.)

I don't know exactly what he said. He could have said "I respect the competitors and I am confident that I could win the Olympics" and then it got lost in translation by the korean reporter or the google trans. It has a different nuance than saying I WILL.

Is this the equivalent of saying "konichiwa, Hanyu Yuzuru-desu" in korean? :biggrin:
Anyway he trains with Jun Hwan so I expect him to know a bit Korean. He knows spanish and russian a bit too :laugh:

Another news from SBS (korea)
I translated it using google trans and adjust some of the wording to make it corrigible. Korean-speaking member do correct me if there is any fatal mistake. :biggrin:

"Ganbatte Hanyu!", "Jia You Hanyu!", "Hanyu Hwaiting!"

In the Gangneung Ice Arena where the 2017 International Ice Skating Championships (ISU) 4 continent figure skating championships are held, Figure skating fans from Korea, China and Japan gathered to support "Figure King"' HanYu Yuzuru (23, Japan).

About 200 fans were in attendance at the Gangneung Ice Arena, where official training began on the 14th, ahead of the 2017 International Ice Skating Championships (ISU) four continental figure skating championships which will be held on the 16th.

It is unusual for spectators to gather and watch the practice, not the actual competition.
It was the fans who gathered to see Hanyu, which is one of the best star in this competition.
Hanyu, who entered the Incheon airport on the 13th, immediately went to Gangneung, and on the afternoon, he made his first training at the main rink of Gangneung Ice Arena.

Some sightings of cheering banners for Hanyu were caught around the stadium, and some Japanese fans arriving in Korea on that day took a big luggage bag from the taxi and went quickly to make it for the training time.

Unexpectedly, there were many Japanese fans, Korean and Chinese fans in the audience.

A banner called "Yuzuru Jia you" (Yuzuru Whiting) prepared by a Chinese fan cheering Hanyu was also noticeable.

As soon as the practice time of Hanyu was approaching, the camera lens of the fans turned toward the entrance of the athlete, and as soon as Hanyu showed up, the sound of the camera shutter of the fans as well as the reporters was echoed on the rink.
With Coach Brian Orser, Hanyu began to unravel (lol? I think this means warming up), and the camera of the fans began to follow Hanyu. In the first training, Hanyu relaxed to the short program music.
Hanyu, who ran the rink and raised his body temperature, started his own quadruple jump training. Hanyu uses a 4Lo and a 4S3T combination jump in the short program. Having practiced triple axels, Hanyu immediately focused on 4S3T combination exercises.

Whenever he succeeded in the jump, he was puffed up in the stands (note: lol I don't know what this one mean). When Hanyu jumped on the 4Lo, 'Oh ~' sighing could be heard. After 40 minutes of training, Hanyu greeted the fans (note : I assume they meant the final bow); and the audience clapped another round of applause.

Hanyu said in a interview with the reporters after the training that he was able to say "Thank you very much, everyone. I am Yuzuru. Thank you for your support. Thank you. Thank you very much."
