His speed felt on par with the rest of the field, if not among the faster people, for me anyway. Like, during the program I wasn't like "hmm he seems slow" at all whereas I could tell easily with others. But one thing I loved during the first day of warm up was his cool down session when he is just stroking on the ice. He has wonderful skills to make THAT part among the most interesting of what he did considering all the jumps he was throwing out there.

Well Yuzuru on his slower days are still faster than majority of the guys, he is that good :p

*swoons over stroking* :luv17: I swear, if he came out with a DVD with just his stroking I'd buy it and watch it probably ten days straight on loop. That's already what I do with the 30-s clip of him in Javi's documentary anyway :slink:
 
Is there an Introduction to Figure Skating 101 thread on Golden Skate (or anywhere else)? I seriously need to (and desperately want to) learn more but I do not know how to begin with.

Are you kidding, i would buy a small tv and mount it to the wall, connect it to my computer as second monitor and just leave that video playing there, forever.
"if he came out with a DVD with just his stroking I'd buy it" I know what you're referring to but... :slink:

:dbana:
would you still buy a small tv and mount it to the wall, connect it to your computer as second monitor and just leave that video playing there, forever, if it were that second variety of stroking :P

I would be tempted to do it, but how would i explain it to my family when they enter my room... The question is... just how loud would it be:slink: I'll see myself out...
 
woah his english improved a lot every few months I see him talking in English. I'm happy that “happy" is his most-used word in english :laugh:

I always get terrified by the "if i skating" part ):

I agree. He is much better at expressing himself now
:)
 
Interesting. I never "count" his steps and turns or even crossover but he visibly has more if not the most one-foot skating compared to to other top guys (even maybe patrick) imo. His distribution of transition might make some get the impression that he has less, because he mostly stack it before/after elements but he also has plenty in between too.
I watched fancam and count every turns :laugh: And I compare their ice coverage, their speed too.
Overall Patrick's style is that me makes use of long glide on the ice. It is very beautiful and flowy. I mean it is very old-fashioned. It would be sad if the younger generation does not skate like him anymore. Hopefully Patrick can pass his skating skills onto his future students.

Javi skate big bit quite slow. His jumps give a sense of stability and secure (when he lands them well).

Yuzuru's skating is just very very weird. He skates in various circles and do not go into staight lines. It's always in the serpentine pattern, it's very complicated and hard to follow his direction. It's very hard to grasp what he does and predict which direction he will skate to. His skating is ever-changing.

Oh lord, gotta stop reading this thread in class. But I have to admit I wouldn't say no to a DVD with that kind of stroking... :laugh:

Oh I like to watch fancam to compare speed and ice coverage too. :biggrin: I think it is the closest you can get from watching live and know how their actual SS is like. But honestly I never bother to count steps and turns (and frankly I am still not so good at it); but I think it should be quite easy to see whether a skater has more 1-foot or 2-foot skating, even from official broadcast. But even if they mistake chasse/progressive/other steps as crossover, it is still 2-foot skating afterall, which means the more a skater has them the less mastery in turns they display. Many skaters gain speed from doing many many crossovers to gain speed and personally I kind of dislike too many of them. Yuzuru does many 3-turn as transition, at least this I can tell :laugh:
