They.... mmm they have a better angle of Yuzu hugging Tracy at rinkside! ^_^

I was surprised how often they cut off the lower body and go for close-ups... but then no wonder they like to talk about things like iroke ("sensuality") and facial expressions over footwork and full-body-movements

I think we should look forward to fancams ^_^
 
Is Tarasova/Morozov injured? I wonder why S/K is invited instead of them cause they are 3rd. I thought all medalist will be there for sure, quite weird indeed. They really cater to the Japanese+European Audience hahaha

Tarasova is injured. She got 10--15 stitches on her knee on SP day.

They had an accident right before the SP. She fell on steps, he went with his skate over her leg - 15 stitches. It was terrible, even the SP was in question and she was in obvious pain post the FS, frankly I have no idea how she went through that. Pair ladies are brilliant, wonderful monsters! So not surprised they're off, I am sure she is in no state to skate.

But yes, they do. And of course, the biggest star goes last :biggrin:
 
German eurosport guys were over the moon for yuzuru. They're usually a little grumpy and therefore hilarious to listen to, but today they were just in awe:

(after the second half): so, in short, a new world record it will be.
(after 3axel sequence): and here are the 100 points and he still has potential for at least 15 more points
(after his skate): Oh my. Oh what was that. What was that, dear viewers? We became contemporary witnesses of an unbelievable performance of yuzuru hanyu. who doesn't get goosebumps, I don't know. I saw people crying - I understand that (meaning he can relate). I understand that totally, this was well and truly an extraordinary occurrence/ happening and a well and truly extraordinary long program without ifs and buts (meaning: with no doubt).He was a great champion.

- yes, the outsider (referring to his 5th place after the sp) raised the bar and the others, I can assure you, there will be some who'll find this to be a hard nut to crack.

- yes, he didn't - when looking at his presentation, at his music choice - gone crazy like with his prince sp, but he showed an unbelievable technical content, that hasn't been showed before by anyone ever. This certainly will become his new personal best at an lp, 219points were the last record. Whether he'll beat his total combined record score, I don't know, because he lost a lot of points in the short program.

- but a program like this - Joe Hisashi composed this music for the opening olympics 1998 which was in the hometown of Joe Hisashi, who is now leading the new Japan Philharmonic orchestra - an overall Japanese constellation concerning the music choice, the execution, the performance, the presence, the brilliance that shines here in Helsinki. The brilliance of Yuzuru Hanyu.

- who would have thought. you watch (figure skating) since 20 years and every few years we see such things that totally hits you, that enthralls you, seizes you and just pulls you under it's spell. Unbelievable! My god. Ha!

- he showed three different quads - salchow, toe loop and loop. he repeated the salchow. And now he's punishing all those who thought he doesn't have a chance to win gold after yesterdays short. He laid out the bar. This reminds me a little of those fighting cows of saitama (what?!) a few years after the Olympic Games when they did something at last (didn't really understand what they meant and what they were talking about, but they definitely said fighting cows ...)

he leaves the impression that he could skate for another 4 minutes. Everything he showed today was done with an unbelievable ease. That was the most impressive of Yuzuru Hanyu.

yes 223 points. personal best of his life. 219 was the record till now. But the combined record score he doesn't top, because of the short programs.

He's sweating, but there're also a few tears I think.
 
The NY Times posted an article about Yuzuru! So cool that such a prominent newspaper wrote about him ^0^ I love how humble Yuzu is despite just having the skate of his life.

According to this article, Javi's reason for crumbling was pressure and Yuzuru's success.:think: They're pretty oppsite in that regard, it seems, Yuzuru seems to do well under the pressure from his rivals.

Thank you!! Is there a video source?
I have no idea what they're talking about re: cows, but I just had to giggle a little bit because of Yuzu's chinese nickname :rofl: which is incidentally laughing cow

Tarasova is injured, 14 stitches on her leg. If they had to ask a lower -ranked Canadian Pair, I 'd rather sed Iliuschechkina/Moscovitch, D/R's EX is pretty boring...

only if you have access to the German eurosport player unfortunately.. Maybe more videos of the men will surface when the competition is over and fuji TV doesn't block everything out there ...

So ... how about using bandicam on it? :biggrin:
I hate to impose, but if that's an option it'd be fab.

My goodness, I would not have known, they performed such exhilarating Free, get well soon Zhenya :(

ETA : If Yuzuru is in a good mood you know there might be QUAD BATTLE
