4CC 2017 LP
CCTV5
M= male commentator
F = female commentator
*they call him by the Chinese pronunciation of his name, Yǔshēng jié xián. But I'm just going to say Yuzuru so we don't get confused
(after Shoma's LP)
M: I think today's competition is still gonna be mainly between Chen and him.
F: Yuzuru Hanyu is all of Asia's first Olympic champion for the Men's singles figure skating event. He's also the champion of every major competition, like the Grand Slam winner. This program's music is from Joe Hisaishi's Hope and Legacy.
M: We don't really know how he is. Because just a few months ago didn't we hear that he got sick?
F:A little, true.
M:We don't know how he'll be in this overcoming situation, because you rest, you still have to recover your training.
(program starts. I think they closed the mic because nothing at all during the actual performance)
F: Wow, a very unbelievable set of moves. I'm afraid to say it's a perfect, beautiful masterpiece, but I think after seeing this I can really relate to why some people think +3 GOE is not enough and we should have +5.
M:I agree, some elements from competitors before, you have +1, +2 compared to Yuzuru's +3...you feel like it's a bit of a loss. You want to apologize, you want to give him more.
F:You feel ashamed, with such high quality elements you can only give him +3. Ah really, he lit up the arena/crowd and gave it life and enthusiasm. Compared to some before, seeing this makes you think, it really is extremely worth the watch.
M:A really high quality competition! Today his performance, apart from in the second half his 4T-3T, he completed all his elements. But that combo, he popped it and lost points there. But later, he completed his elements with pretty good quality. Just consider it he completed two 4T and two 3A , and all completed really well! So they're all +GOE moves.
F:Apart from that 4T-3T in the second half- that was the only element in his planned layout that that he didn't do. All the others were beautiful.
M:Yeah, very high quality- landed cleanly and with neat completion. So talking from an athletic point of view, you can complete this program but you can't possibly be 100% perfect on the every front. So with the performance and components that he already gave, especially with this level of difficulty, is already...And there is so much physical strength and training required for each quad. But today slightly, I personally feel because of the difficulty and pressure to defend his reputation against the younger Nathan Chen and Jin Boyang was really great. So today on the performance side he put a little less heart than usual. I'm not saying it was below my standards, but compared to
his standards.
F:Mm, yeah not a vertical comparison but a horizontal one (I don't really know what she means?). He seemed a little less emotional today.
M:Yeah, simply because he put all his effort into how to complete his elements.
F:Still *sighs*, he's already
really good. Today this performance makes you feel. So close to the end, and he's still able to maintain such height, distance, and beautiful landings in his jumps.
M:Because you see, his body is in the thin side so you might not think he's particularly strong. How can he maintain such strength, even till the very end? That means his technique is very good, and he was able to pace his program really well.
(KnC)
F:Yuzuru Hanyu. Before this competition, he is the consecutive 4-time GPF champion. To him, the 4CC gold is still not something he owns. Today, he looks like he's looking forward to it (seeing his scores). Maybe he can add another medal to the ones he owns. A new gold.
M:Usually because of the rules, he can repeat a quad two times. If you have two types of quads, you can do four quads.
F:Let's see the scores.
(Yuzu says yaaay!)
F:"Yaaay" , we heard him say
TES 112.33, PCS 94.34. Both the highest marks so far. They combine for 206.67. Also his personal best this season. And the highest at this competition so far.
M:The first competitor to break 300 pts. He got 303 pts.
Okay I know I said I thought it would be too hard to translate, but it actually wasn't that bad. Maybe because I know Yuzu's layout so I knew what to expect. Anyway, I get the feeling both commentators really really like Yuzu. They kept on gushing about how every jump is so HQ. I like them because they're pretty respectful and they don't talk over the performance.
rest of the season he seems to be trying to recover from that (though he does win GPF) 
as a new fan
Tbh I'm not worried about the mentality of Yuzuru at all, he has actually consistently podium-ed while skating under terrible physical conditions as well as unbelievable mental pressure. I'm more worried about the kind of scoring policy that has lately become prevalent *cough cough* 
but as long as he does what he does he should be fine. Actually, I'm not sure why people think he's mentally fragile? When has he not been a fighter until the end... and beyond?
