My niece's motivation why she wants to skate was because of the Winnie the poohs that was thrown to him

Well, she is no different from Plushenko's son :biggrin:

She asked me why Yuzu didn't get the poohs and I said to her it was too many he can't possibly choose only one

Oh, get well soon

Thank you! I'm starting to, thank God.

After I'm better, I'm going to learn to do a twizzle if it kills me! I can't even do back 3 turns consistently yet, but I'll figure something out... even if that something is just how many times I can fall all over the place before they kick me out for being a safety hazard. :laugh:

In the mean time, he's motivated me not to put off my work.

With my beloved husband, we rewatched Yuzu's SP for the third time and he got so motivated that left for the gym. I was begging him for three months to do some exercise and he was shrugging it off with the excuse of being so busy with work. Yuzu persuaded him just in 2 and a half minute Should I be happy or jealous? :sarcasm:

Depends... what are the chances that he will [a] keep it up or end up looking at least a little more Yuzu-ish? (if the latter, take it take it )

And let's see how he does after the Free which - I think - is now less than ten hours away..... :shocked:

The sooner I get to sleep, the sooner I can wake up and watch Yuzu, but... how am I supposed to sleep!? :laugh:

I feel like a little kid the night before a big vacation.

Haha, I got so much more work done today thanks to Yuzu. I mean, if he can do that, what's a little work?

Regarding Hanyu mania - translated by google. See the link for the full article.

According to Virtanen, Hanyus makes popularity well throughout the branch. This is something that has not been known before in figure skating.

- He's a rock star. It does not bother me, but it's a little strange when you are not used to figure skating. There were more spectators on the training than on average, usually on competitions, except for major championships.

Competition organizers are obviously pleased that Japan chose to compete in history's first Helsinki GP.

"We had to arrange this competition with a short notice in just a few months when China's GP was inhibited. It was important and well-liked that the Japanese at ticket league were the biggest buyers of tickets for the entire event, explains the art association's communications director Mila Kajas-Virtanen.

"The fact that a superstar like Hanyu participates in the competition, we knew, would contribute greatly to both Helsinki and Finland - not just for art workouts but also for other businessmen. This is exceptional within the branch, she continues.

Oda's commentary for Yuzuru's SP.

(during the performance, he basically called each element.)

Announcer: The biggest cheer of the day, this is new challenge of the Olympic Champion, Yuzuru Hanyu, he finished his SP.

Oda: 4S at the start was really perfect. I won't be surprised if it gets +4 or +5 on it, it was a high level of perfection. He did it with difficult entry of inside-eagle, which would be the subject of +GOE.

A: After SP at ACI of September, he had "kuyashii" face because his jump was a little shaky and had failure on the spin. But he put jumps (I can't hear him clearly but he said "jumps") together sufficiently.

O: Yes. The jumps were so great. In fact, he almost had a overturn after 4T3T but he showed a turn lightly as if it was a part of choreography. That seemed like typical of Hanyu-senshu. That (combination) jump itself had high quality which leads to +GOE.

A: In this Ice Hall of Helsinki, there are not only Hanyu fans from Japan but also many from European and Western countries.

O: I also think the elements other than jumps were also wonderful. Speed of spins was fast enough, and he used his body a lot during the steps, so I think those will be getting from +3 to +4 of GOE.

(watching slow motion)

A: Let's take a look from the jumps.

O: 4S from inside-eagle, good height, awesome. This 3A from twizzle, he is doing this from difficult entry so it will get + GOE, but its axis was a little lean and I held my breath, but it was beautiful, +GOE. (4T3T) 4T after consecutive turns, here, he almost had a overturn but 4T3T, he fully rotated it. It was very Hanyu-senshu that he did it like a choreography.

A: The music Mr. Johnny Weir used he admired once, he said he wanted to skate and enjoy it. What kind of impression did you have in the step sequence?

O: There was one scene that he made a big jump during the steps, and I think it was very effective as music expression. That also connects to +GOE for the step sequence, it was a good movement.

@yude thanks so much for the translation. I'm watching the whole thing from as many different angles (and commentaries) as possible. So hyped for the FS. :ghug:

I know I have weak eyes but his 4T and 4S look like triple jumps to me :laugh:

JuliettaG · Nov 4, 2018
