Nick verreos made a "Best Of 2016-2017 Season Figure Skating Costumes: Ice Dance, Pairs, Men & Ladies!" on his blog

He is a project runway contestant, fashion critics, commentator and blogger and correspondent on E!, NBC, CNN etc.

Yuzuru's part
Yuzuru Hanyu Japan Free Skate to Hope and Legacy by Joe Hisaishi--Yuzuru is a big Costume King, when it comes to his competition figure skating ensembles. I love that you know he's going to give you SOMETHING and well, you will not be bored. For this past 2016-2017 Season, he delivered some bold, fun costumes that were attention-grabbing, arguably slightly tacky-licious (it's YUZURU!) and still kind of GREAT! I loved the multicolored draped and gathered stretch chiffon top in his 2016-2017 Free Skate. Look at that photo: It looks easy-breezy but that top probably took many, many hours to get that way. I love how Yuzuru is comfortable with mixing the feminine and pretty, as well as juxtaposing it with the masculine, while also hinting at an old-school "Vintage" figure skating costume vibe.

Yuzuru Hanyu Japan Short Program to Let's Go Crazy by Prince: Yes, it's Prince and yes, it's Yuzuru. And yes, I liked it. Purple, sleek and Glam Fabulous! If there is any critique, it's all those necklaces of his...too many unnecessary accessories; I understand how meaningful they might be...but they are distracting! Originally when he unveiled the program, the costume was white (top photo above) but then, he switched to the purple. They're both pretty great and almost Figure Skating Costume Iconic. Prince would be proud.
 
It would be nice to make a banner of something related to your country + Yuzuru in it in competition. Something like "Yuzuru Fangroup from Mexico" or Hungary, Egypt, Brazil, Singapore, Australia etc. :biggrin:

Do it for Yuzuru (not for the commentators, couldn't care less about them to be honest :p), I think he would be delighted to know that there are fans from all over the world (especially from a non-skating country/tropical country) supporting him and cheering for him (especially when your country barely have skating rinks lol). He is aware that he has many fans from all over the place but maybe he is not so aware that many of them actually come to see him in competition too, who knows :biggrin:
Just be sure to make it a banner you can hold up yourself and don't rely on the ISU to allow you to hang it up at the arena :sarcasm:
yes I'm still bitter, sue me :bed:
 
He should also see signs from fans from traditional figure skating countries... He should know that not every Canadian is a fan of Patrick, not every American is for Nathan etc... I dislike the assumption that since I am Canadian I should be supporting Canadian skaters over anyone else. I am most definitely in the Yuzu camp.

Maybe next time, Pamigena :biggrin:

I am pretty sure you are not the only Canadian who is a big fan of Yuzuru (over their own Chan). I have seen quite many actually :agree2:
 
I don't really see the point in liking an athlete just because they're from your own country anyway. Sure it's nice to sing the anthem and wave your flag and whatever, but especially with skating isn't it better to appreciate someone because of their skills?

I know I am not, but some people still seem surprised at that. Yuzu might be too.
 
"Mexico loves you, too" if I remember correctly? :laugh:

Sooo I am officially as deep in this Yuzu thing as it gets. I have downloaded photoshop again- I used to make gifs back in the day but I haven't been inspired enough (read: obsessed) to make any gifs for the past 5 years or so. Here I come.
Something like that, yes :D I want to write it in Japanese so he can read it with no problem at all (And will probably mean more to him that i took the time to write it in his own language)

I desperately want him to know that even if fs is something practically non existant here, i admire him so much i (if i go to canada) crossed an entire country just to cheer for him :) He says he draws energy from his fans? Maybe he will finally get to hang a Skate Canada gold medal next to his three silvers :)

not sure if this was discussed before, I'm just too lazy to going through all the pages..
What grand prix would yuzu go for next season? NHK and ? maybe skate canada again?
 
Is there any way to let the commentators all over the world know it's not only Japanese fans who give standing ovations to Yuzu?

Actually, when they were interviewing Yuzu in the Kiss & Cry before the medal ceremony and the interviewer said "all your Japanese fans" I wanted to shout, "Hey, I came from America!". I was sitting near the Kiss and Cry too, I bet they would've heard me.

Make a sign that says "Go ___ " (some skater who isn't quite as popular, then they will definitely hang it up). And then when the competition lights turn on it will melt off to reveal a Yuzu poster underneath :devil: :devil: :devil:

Haha, well, then that "Canada loves Yuzu" banner should be a start :biggrin:

No news yet until ISU congress is over. CoR (1st GP) and NHK (4th GP) should be the most convenient for him. If not other alternatives would be SC (2nd event)+ NHK or SC+TDF (5th event). He won't go to CoC and very likely will not go to SA, I would be very surprised if he does.

Japanese fans were surprised and delighted to see my very blatant support of Yuzu. Americans always want to tell me about Nate (who I like and he was a friendly kid when I met him, but I don't uber him yet). I do take pride that he's one of our own and trailblazing in his own way, and I cheered and waved our flag for him and threw him a plushy, but it takes a little something else to bring me to uber land. Honestly, save for Sasha Cohen I haven't ubered any American skater. And if she wasn't American it wouldn't have made any difference.:confused2: I am most patriotic when it's a sport I know nothing about or care nothing about :laugh:.

You should have! :biggrin:
But I think Yuzu acknowledged his fans from all over the world himself more than once...? Maybe my memory is off, but I thought he also said something like that in Helsinki (after the SP?). And then there are fan letters and all that stuff. The banner from the International facebook group was up during the LP right over the exit... so another thing he might have seen :)

He did. He also mentioned people watching him over the internet, TV, etc. :luv17:
