"the speed is like a power , in other words, the speed equals to the power to jump, so if you have that power it’s easier to get the height and the lenght of the jump."

Yuzuru hanyu about 4A.
 
:love:

The pictures of Marin and Wilson in Canada reminds me of Yuzuru was working with Wilson in the Olympic season.
I'm feeling like Yuzuru will work with him again along with warhorse in this season...but if he doesn't do any show, we might wait and see until summer :drama:
Not necessarily, it's possible that Yuzu will work on his SP with Jeff or LP with Shae before going to Japan for shows... I'm 100% sure he will do a few of the FaOI, at least, if not all.
 
So beautiful :love:

Also is it just me or has he changed his bows over the years?? I vaguely remember in 2015/2016 he used to bow without doing any hand gestures

They've definitely gotten more dramatic and elegant, depending on the program. They have begun to remind me more and more of Machida's dramatic bows, here's Machida's ending bows from 2012 https://youtu.be/kq8USOqqxXA?t=6m15s Draaamaaa.:drama:
 
OMG I like your video so much!:love: Can I hope for another one which includes Worlds and WTT?
Wish fullfilled! Here is my latest tribute clip of the Worlds' men's event. Hope you like it :biggrin:

Just wasn't really sure where to post it. Here in this thread most links get lost quickly between the huge number of new posts and fans of other skaters than Yuzuru won't even notice perhaps. Any ideas?

I agree, in the article, Yuzuru sounded like he would work with Jeff on SP again, and the programs of Jeff and Shae are trustworthy for me personally. (I'm big fan of Yuzuru's EX this season though) If Wilson choreographs Yuzuru's competitive program, I'd like to see his SP but don't think it will happen.

And I'm also not giving up the hope to see him in the show either, I'm wondering if he will participate in one city or so...If he doesn't do any, I finally have time to read the book of "Team Brian 2" which I bought months ago :laugh:
 
He always ranks high in the 'favorite athlete' polls in Japan, and he's very high-profile, but it doesn't mean that everyone is going to know him, or care about figure skating, or sports in general. I was showing my sketchbook to some university students one day, and one of the pages had Yuzu on it, they all instantly knew who it was, some were also fans, some just knew his face.
It depends I guess. :scratch3:
That is not the point. The biggest issue is, FS even though is very famous in Japan. And that Japanese fans are helping ISU a lot. Majority of them do not understand much about why some skaters are great and why some are infamous for bad technique. Many of them only see figure skating as a subjective and do not care about the technical side. And they're mislead by the numbers and do not see through why some are considered great and some not.
My previous co-worker knew Mao Asada and Yuzuru Hanyu. But when I explained to him why they're great he looked at me like I had 2 heads.
A Japanese lady once said: "Satoko Miyahara has correct technique because Kulik taught her."
I have no words. Because it's totally wrong and she will never believe one negativity about Satoko Miyahara. However she and many other Japanese keep on believing that Japanese skaters have perfect technique and if people say otherwise they're haters. This kind of ignorance is... Very much disappointing.
No wonder they have Hanyu, the best technician in the world but they don't know that.

My gut feeling is that he will stick with Jeff for SP and Shae-lynn for the long. Personally I would prefer that too (not that it means anything lol)

I am fine with either that or letting Jeff do both the SP and LP. Jeff hasn't gone wrong for me yet when it comes to Yuzu's programs.
 
Just saw the latest news that Yuzuru will be participating in all the shows of Fantasy on Ice! Details to come if I can find them...


Edit: Here's the official site

In three different cities, spanning from 5/25-6/18

This kind blogger is always quick to pick up news though, you can see the posters etc. Here http://ameblo.jp/reichel-mh/

Is there the slightest chance he'll debut a program at Fantasy on Ice? :drama:

Probably not; I think FaOI is known for having artists/singers and collab programs? So probably we'll see new programs but not ones that will be used for the Olympics? I see Jeff Buttle is also in the lineup so...don't know what might go down behind the scene ;)
 
I loved the clips you chose for each skater. :points:
Thank you so much! It was quite difficult to find some fitting video material because I didn't want to have the scoreboard in the top corner and the summaries after every skate consisted of jumps and some falls only. There were two or three spins in the short programmes, but not the best choices in my opinion... Is there a possibility to get good raw clips from various competitions without scores?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A32KLmk-fVE 'Believe' was only performed on Fantasy on Ice, and it's one of my favorite Yuzu Exhibitions. So I'll be happy to see another original EX too. :cheer:
