If someone was touched by french mood commentators on the video that showed commentator's reaction when Hanyu set a new world record, I give you Hanyu's FS 2012 at Nice WC : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC_lYMOcTfQ. It has already been posted on the media topic,, that's why I allow me to put the video but with the french comments
Here the translation.
Before, more precision : Nelson Montfort, a well known sport commentator in the game since 90's, especially for figure skating and athletism. The woman is Annick Dumond, a figure skating coach, she trained Brian Joubert, Florent Amodio ... She adds technical point of view when skaters were performing. And the other guy is Philippe Candeloro, retired french skater very popular in France and Japan (i'm sure you know him). Since 2000, they comment skating competition together.
Besides, here the link of Sochi Hanyu FS with french comments: http://www.francetvsport.fr/le-programme-de-yuzuru-hanyu-206757
Same thing for his SP: http://www.francetvsport.fr/le-record-de-hanyu-206493
I can also translate them if you want. Concerning the videos, if you think that it is interesting to put them on the media topic, why not. Edit your post and put them. Or i can create a new post with these videos + translations.

Nelson Montfort (NM) Philippe Candeloro (PC) Annick Dumont (AD)
NM: What a great afternoon, because what we are watching and will watch later in 20 minutes seems crazy, there is a real chance of medal (bronze or silver) for one or two French skaters. That won’t be easy but it is possible. Now Yuzuru Hanyu, young Japanese contender, who eliminated Oda at Japan Championship, slightly disappointing yesterday (in the short program), but is capable of doing his best this afternoon.
PC: So, will he is going to stay as gentle as a lamb? (It is a French idiom. PC loves doing jokes because lamb=agneau in French and the pronunciation of “agneau” is almost the same for “Hanyu”). We are going to discover that (as gentle as a lamb) now … he has a lot of quality and so, look at this quad toe … it works.
AD: Wow … Ohlalalalala, wow!!!
PC: We are on the fifth quad of the afternoon … (1:19) here the triple axel, with a preparation out of the ordinary, it is a strong start … (1:33) triple flip, so that’s it over, now we’re going to the next.
NM: Let’s notice that this contender is seventh behind our French skater Florent Amodio after the short program. Amodio has succeeded to integrate the last group (concerning the order of the passage). It changes all but, waiting a moment because, here, regarding what happened yesterevening, we may approach on a potential podium or a fourth place, he (Hanyu) is very dangerous for Florent. (It is normal that French commentators support French skater and believe him).
(2:15) PC: Wow triple flip, look at the flexion work.
AD: Oh …What a … what a will … what a will to hold this jump.
PC: And normally, this jump would be fall to the ground.
AD: Of course, he absolutely didn’t have the body on his backing.
NM: How did he succeeded to stay up … I hope we will see the slow motion.
AD: It is just a will.
NM: It challenges the gravity … I really hope we’ll see the slow motion …. oh, and so a lot of …
(2:55) AD: No!!! This is unbelievable …
NM: What happened Philippe...
AD: He is getting into his tip…
PC: Yes, yes, he toppled on the tip.
AD: … it is a novice mistake …
PC: It is not grave, but it costs 1 point…
(3:09) AD: … Oh triple axel, triple axel …. Ohlalala triple toe loop, he is fantastic this skater.
PC: I said yesterday, I make few galas with him in Japan last July, he was very impressive. (3:24) here triple lutz, double toe, following by another double toe … (3:48) perfect triple loop, it is an almost perfect program.
NM: Despite his novice fault, oh … what a pity, I hope we will see that …
AD: I think even him he could not believe it.
PC: I think he is injured on his hand, because of the way that he looked his hand when he lifted up after the fall. What was fabulous, it was the triple axel just after the fall … So now, we are seeing his small steps, very swift …. (4:25) and supported by the crowd, especially Japanese, there are many of them this afternoon at Nice's Palais des Expositions … (4:47) he is light so he can hold the program a little bit longer but we are feeling from him tiredness.
(4:57) AD: Ohlala, he gave all what he was able to do, he cannot do anymore
(5:10) PC: here with twirls out of nowhere, rare on the men’s category.
AD: It is wonderful, this is a sporting feat. Oh he can be happy, I think he has no energy anymore, such he pushed himself to the limit. I have the impression that he is injured … but this fall that no one expected, even himself … he is exhausted.
PC: think his hand his injured.
AD: I don’t know if it is his hand, or ankle … I don’t know.
PC: Look at how he is sweating, we have never seen that for any skater this afternoon.
AD: He gave the best of himself, even beyond that. He will may collapse before leaving the ice rink…. So many Japanese in this rink
Then Annick Dumond sum up the jumps that he did (she admires the quad toe, and she said that it deserves 2 more points, same for Axel) and she stressed the fall, that it is a novice mistake, and in skating school, we explain that we must pay attention to the tips because there are big tips on the front of the blade and we always could verify to not attach it into the ice.
Then the slow motion was coming, they expected the triple flip motion but it was not display. She underlined the fact that he makes his triple axel with a front spiral, like a grand eagle gesture, let’s just say that he adds difficulties himself. After the fall, he did a triple axel and that is strong, very strong. Phillipe added that this type of fall can quickly disturb any skater. He said he would have stopped the program directly, and go to the infirmary (joking). When the camera focused on the Hanyu’s face, Annick said “ohlalala my god, his face”. Then, they said normally Hanyu will lead the competition currently. When the score was coming, they were worried for their French skaters Amodio and Joubert and hopefully for them, Hanyu did not belong to the last group in the order of the passage.
