World Championships 2014, Free Skate, Romeo and Juliet by Nino Rota

Commentators: I am not a completely sure who the first commentator (1) is but I think it is Sigi Heinrich. He commentates for various sports. The second commentator (2) here is Hendryk Schamberger, a former figure skater himself.

------------------------------------------------------------

1: Hendryk, you said it, Yuzuru Hanyu, if he delivers the ideal 4 and a half minute performance here he might be able to turn the tide to his advantage- it's just a question of how fresh he still is, the olympic victor from sochi.
2: I don't believe it. I believe.. ehm.. that is.. all olympic gold medalists go through the... the media hype that naturally arises and ehm they have to attend talk-shows and do this and that... and then to come here and be fit after this long a season which, after all, started in october for him.

(program starts)

1: Romeo and Juliet by Nino Rota - his program.

2: Well, if this continues he still has a chance.

2: That means he will probably do all his combination jumps after the 2. minute where he can earn the bonus points.

1: He doesn't leave anything out- strong until now.

2: Now he really needs a break. The a program he planned- unbelievable.

(Yuzu lands his Lutz forward and still completes the rest of the combo.)
2: WOAH that's impossible! That he is able to jump a triple salchow in this situation- it's unbelievable.

2: This is enough! (to win)
1: This is enough.

(end of program)

1: This is ins*nity. Yuzuru Hanyu. There is not much more he could have done. He threw in his last energy back-ups and delivered a program that could not have been anticipated- not after the olympics. This is how the olympic gold medalist can also become the world champion.
Hahah
2: Look at this, they will probably have to carry him off the ice.
1: That was an act of strength, an-
2: Unbelievable
1: an unbelievable act of strength- by Yuzuru Hanyu.
2: And you can see that he was already drained by the second minute.
1: What kind of fighting spirit resides in him- wanting to prove it once again infront of his own audience.
2: And the last combination jump, that triple lutz - single loop - triple sal- after the lutz landing, how much energy is necessary to throw yourself into the triple salchow after that? Unbelievable... unbelievable...
1: He accepted this high-level declaration of war by his collegue Machida and probably even topped it.
2: Now, what is interesting is that salchow landing. It will surely be reevaluated and could mean a reduction of points for him. But if his score stays this way...
1: 288.26 points are to be beat, dear viewers. 100 already in the technical score- 7 points ahead of Machida in this category.
2: Right now, what was his deficit? He has a deficit if 7... on the dot, exactly.
1: So now the PCS is the determining factor- there he will earn more (than Machida).
2: Not by far but he will surely earn 1 or 2 points more than him. Now also comes the reduction of points that I had feared- it is going to be a close call.
2: A japanese world champion title can only be prevented by Javier Fernandez now.
1: The Spaniard.
2: But put your hand on your heart- after the olympic games, as you have adressed it, after the alleged and presumed fuss and all the schedules he had to attend- here at the world championships at the very end of the season, in the very last free skate of the season- to complete such a program says alot about the qualities of this young man.

(kiss and cry)
[something incomprehensile due to clapping and cheering]
2: He has already recovered! Well, he is sitting all alone because Orser has to tend to Javier Fernandez.
1: Well, the training collegues are fighting against each other- all in their own ways.
Well, everyone now is waiting for... is waiting, dear viewers, for the scores.
2: 282 point! (point=decimal separator)
1: That's enough.
2: That's enough.
1: 3 tenth... 3 tenth...
2: Wow!
1: 3 tenth!! The olympic gold medalist could also become the world champion- except if Fernandez wins the free skate now- but this was really strong.
2: Unbelievable.

(cut)
1: ... and Hanyu is walking like a 70 year old with a walking stick but now that is- of course his back is probably hurting- but now that is a bit for show. [He is calling Yuzu out for being fake. LOL] It's understandable, he may do that, he is a young lad, he may do that.
Hanyu ahead of Machida, the olympic gold medalist has also become the world champion and with that shows a great fighting quality. That shows personality.
2: Yes, yes.
1: That (the act of winning both titles) shows personality.
2: This really surprised me- that he managed such a close fight with Machida, that he gave it his all.

I finally managed to catch up with the thread and saw that this translation request by Fayruza was left unanswered so yours truly- who has just gotten out of a 5-week exam period and cannot adapt to not having to study all day/night- has picked it up.

I don't really get their logic. It is "unbelievable" to earn both titles because once you're an olympic gold medalist you get hyped by the media? Ok.

Also I am very sleep deprived so feel free to point out mistakes.
I think they find unbelievable the fact that he won both the Olympics and worlds because they know Olympic champions have a heavy "media duty" to make, thus having few time to train and keep motivation intact. Only Yagudin managed to win both before Yuzu.

...and "unbelievable" in german transports the meaning of "exciting" and of adoration:)

This is not necessarily true. Dick Button won WC and OG at the same season twice iirc. There are others like Hayes Alan Jenkins, Ondrej Nepela, John Curry, Scott Hamilton, Brian Boitano and Viktor Petrenko who did that too. It is actually more common than you think, and before, the gap from OG and WC was relatively closer, about a month or less. I would argue the majority of olympic champion who went on to compete at the subsequent WC would likely win their title, but many just didn't even bother to compete after they won olympics.

What only Yuzuru and Yagudin has done is winning all 3 major titles (OG, WC and GPF) at the same season. While the thing that only Yuzuru has done is winning all 3 major titles in the same year, I think, in 2014. So he is special indeed ;)

I think this is because so many OGMs don't continue to the next season, either retiring or taking a season break, yes?

Yes! Urmanov took a season off CS but that season there was no GPF too (he won the first GPF/CS Final ever the season after that), so technically he is the closest. While Kulik and Yagudin retired, Plushenko did not compete at GP anymore. So only Yuzuru still fully compete in the GP season right after winning OGM. :biggrin:

So only Yuzuru still fully compete in the GP season right after winning OGM. :biggrin:

I like his nature to be competitive.. He knows there is something he can improve and he can't stop yet, and he was so ambitious.. It's a good thing after winning OGM he didn't retired .. And I'm looking forward to see him as two time OGM :)
 
In the 90s the pro circuit got very lucrative so if you won you retired to cash in. Now the opportunities are out there, depending on where you are from, to make money without going pro, so financially it's not a necessity either.
 
I'm looking back (again) at Yuzuu's gala practice from GPF16 with all of his crazy combos http://yuzuspoohbear.tumblr.com/post/154356229120/yuzuru-hanyus-attempts-at-crazy-combos-2016 (not my tumblr btw).

I've brought it up before, but I'm just very curious if he is going to add -3L combos at some point. I mean he is practicing them here... And he is pretty close(?) to fully rotating them in these crazy 3-jump combos so if he were to do: 4(quad)-3T, 3A-1Lo-3S he could do 3A-3L (or is that just crazy? :biggrin: I've never seen that combo). The increase in BV would probably be nice and I remember being told 3L is actually his best jump (also his 4L from 4cc sp is just beautiful!) so if he really went for it I think he could do it. It is a risky layout though...

I think Yuzuru is quite tall to do 3lo as the second jump in combo. 3T is ok but 3Lo is not that easy. I think he can but it will not be very pretty always. And the GOE might not worth the effort. Unless they change the BV.
Yuzuru is thin, yes, but he is not small girls/boy who can rely on fast rotation for 3Lo as second jump in combo. He is still a full grown man with quite a lot of muscles.
 
Hi, new member here.. I have been around for few weeks now but wasn't sure if I should start posting (bad experience in online forums in the past), but I find everyone here to be very friendly and I thought I would give it a try.
I also don't know anyone with interest in figure skating and I need someone to talk to about it. so here I am, please take care of me.

hi welcome and post often, we won't bite :biggrin:
 
I showed my mum 2015 skate Canada press conference where Yuzu was so adorable and I caught her smiling throughout. When I asked her, he was so cute right? She acted angry and said: if he can't speak English then don't. Haha she's a tsundere XD. I think I'm really spreading Yuzu love everyone nowadays.

Also @Neenah16
Welcome!
 
This thread grows like a mushroom :laugh: There are hundreds of pages that I don't have the time to go through them. The good thing is that in a quick browsing I see many new fans and it makes me happy. Welcome to all new members.

That reminds me, I've dragged two of my friends to figure skating (and Yuzu) hell and persuaded my parents to watch his programs at least twice a week.

And when I showed them Yuzu's Swan EX, they both said that Yuzu looks like a girl :biggrin: babyswan! Yuzu is too cute!

I am so emotionally drained watching juniors, who would have thought. I don't think I will survive Yuzuru. I probably would need to skip worlds for my own well-being. The question is, can I resist it? :dbana:
