Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

Not open for further replies.
Ok, back at the end tail of the 2000s a youngster called Artur Gachinsky trained by Mishin was announced to be Plushenko-2 and pushed by the federation. But he lost the Junior Worlds 2010 to one Yuzuru Hanyu. Next year, both Artur and Yuzu became seniors skaters, and while Yuzuru's season was over with 4CC 2011, Gachinsky got to go to the Worlds 2011 in Moscow and with the help of Oda zayaking and Takahashi breaking his blade and domestic judging he got to be a Bronze medalist and so had lots of hopes pinned onto him.
Next year, at two GPF events Yuzu and Artur are in the same competitions - and Artur loses to Yuzu again. It wasn't so bad at CoC 2011, but in Moscow the gap was rather too big - Yuzu won, and Gachinsky came fifth.
Gachinsky won silver at Europeans 2012, beaten by Plushenko... but when they competed with Yuzu again at Worlds 2012, he messed up very badly and remained 17th, I think.
Whenever these two met, Artur just collapsed. After that he just went downhill, got injured and retired in December 2015. Before that at an interview he said that Yuzuru was a great athlete, but not a great artist. And that Yuzuru beats his competitors ruthlessly - he just tears them apart. But he had poor posture, no extension blablabla.

Yeah, I think Mishin and Gachinsky never got over losing to Yuzu - and it's a sort of obsession to them. Though even Mishin mentions in the same interview that Yuzuru's always courteous to him - saying that male skaters are really friendly to each other...

Yeah, Mishin, Yags and Plush were not men, then - they were girls...

Oh dear old Mishin, you can't miss a chance to make a jab at Yuzu...

Yuzu's not balletic, nor can he ever hit a beat in his programmes - he isn't musical. Posture, arms - not balletic. Yuzu's like a panther, but gets too emotional. Mishin can't remember a single competition where Yuzuru didn't fail something (please refer Mishin to NHK+GPF 2015).
Javi is balletic, on the other hand.
And Shoma has four quads already.

old age does things to people :popcorn: senile dementia really is no laughing matter
I will now look at Russian ballet in whole new ways, though :biggrin:

The most recent comment was about his "4Lo" which apparently, is miles ahead of Yuzu's. :think:

You may be right about this. Have you noticed how carefully Brian handles Pooh-san? How gently he places him on the boards? Who knows what powers that little tissue box possesses.

Ok, I might be finally able to see Javi in Moscow then... oh wait...

He had a chance to be there again I suspect. :p
But he won't be at SC or SA because of Patrick and Nathan, I guess. So that leaves him with NHK, CoC, TEB, COR

Yuzuru will likely do NHK but I don't know what he wanted to do for his first GP changing topic a bit

I can cut it from MatchArena FS video (with Russian commentary), if that would do.

I was hoping that there was fancam video that focused more on Yuzuru because the official broadcast cameras didn't catch everything (except his fall on the 3A of all things, Yuzu, pls)

Can we take a break from Javi? Please?
I understand it that he has to see his Russian wife...
