lol cute, wonder if both of them are in Sendai? Where is Hino from? Is it near Sendai?

Hino is from Tokyo but now trains in Nagoya at ChukyoDaigaku.

Maybe the theme is more accurate to be translated as“little locus, large miracle”.キセキ in Janpanese has two different meanings as locus(軌跡) and miracle(奇蹟).How do you think?

I think 「小さなキセキ、大きなキセキ」is more of "a small miracle, a big miracle", that it doesn't really matter if it's a big miracle or a small miracle they both made differences in someone's life. A small miracle for some may be considered a big miracle to the person experiencing it. I've also read/seen somewhere that Yuzu said he's skating to R&Jv1 because that season was a miracle for him. He experienced the disaster, lost his rink, traveled around to have skating time, skating injured and yet he capped it off with a bronze medal at the World's in his first appearance.

軌跡 for me is more of a person's chosen path or track, locus on the other hand pertains to a location/place/point. I'm not Japanese though, so I'm only basing it on what I know.

* will open his season at finlandia trophy 2014, he said he wanted to do his best so that people will think that "yuzuru was not a fluke(chance) after all" and wants to be a skater worthy to be an olympic champion.

A higher quality version has been uploaded It's also a minute+ longer, but I haven't watched it through yet to see why

eta: it's just newscasters' commentary making up the other minute

Probably only important part of their commentary is estimated time of Yuzuru's performance, it's scheduled for 20:45 JST (previous info said just "after 8 pm").

Totally vain sidenote, but Yuzu (or maybe his mom :laugh:

) has really good taste in ties. I remember a purple diamond one he had was especially nice... :think:

Anyone tell me why the sleeves are still too long for his arms? It still looks like he is wearing his dad's vest.

I think that's just how he likes it... if you see in many photo were he is wearing casual clothes he tends to have sweatshirt and jackets a size or two bigger that always cover his hands

At this point I also think he just likes it that way. Weird style, but Yuzuru's style

Here is Japan's next generation ace, Sota Yamamoto (14). His idol is of course Yuzuru :agree:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzaaiPR9w-U

He says he wants to succeed 3A in competitions when he is still a junior high student just like Yuzuru did :yes:

Go for it, boy :clap:

Meoima · Aug 25, 2014

He is at the same age as Yuzuru when Yuzuru won JWC in 2010. I wish him well.

I hope he'll succeed, I really liked his performances at JGP! His exhibition costume reminded me of Hana ni Nare a bit.
Speaking of costumes, don't you think his FS outfit looks similar to outfit of one of Yuzuru's favourite skaters? :laugh:

Indeed! Apparently Yuzuru LINE-d to KIM asking if it would be okay to nominate him. And it was at 5 am, luckily KIM wasn't asleep yet cause he had just got home after rehearsal :biggrin:

It seems to me that he has been wearing the same suit as before, so that's why there has been no change on the length of the sleeves. :biggrin:

Oh really? That is sooo nice and considerate of him to do that. :agree:

Almost the same, until 4:04. I thought the program would end there because Yuzuru lol But there was another part. Notice how the placement of the jumps and spins are pratically the same, that step sequence 1:55 , that fierce moment at 3:28, even the hand movement at 3:01 after the ina bauer, in this case a spread eagle. But my favourite is 4:25 :rock:

R&J Yuzuru Hanyu greatest hits.

cruzceleste · Aug 25, 2014

ut my favourite is 4:25 R&J Yuzuru Hanyu greatest hits.

lolz

It seem like Yuzuru has landed already 4 types of quads

Not only has Nguyen benefitted from training alongside an Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu and a European champion Javier Fernandez, with high style and quad jumps peppering the practice sessions in Toronto, but the 16-year-old found himself invited to a skating show in Japan in early summer with some of the best skaters in the world.

There was Nguyen, 2014 world junior champion, world championship competitor, on the same ice with Stephane Lambiel, Daisuke Takahashi, Nobunari Oda and his training mate Yuzuru Hanyu, the reigning Olympic champion. “It’s humbling, but it’s good for him,” said coach Brian Orser.

“It was amazing,” Nguyen said. “The rink was really small and that didn’t really stop any of them doing quad toes. It was crazy. And Yuzu was just on fire. ” With Nguyen watching, Hanyu did a quad Salchow, a quad toe loop, a quad loop. And he landed a quad Lutz right in front of Nguyen. “It was pretty cool,” Nguyen said.

Lambari · Aug 25, 2014

I'm conflicted, don't know if I :jaw:

or

HanDomi · Aug 25, 2014

I have feeling that Yuzuru will be able to do that quad axel in future. His axel is so natural that when he will get physically strong enough I think it will be possible for him

Meoima · Aug 25, 2014

Maybe that quad Lutz is the 2 foot landing that Nathalie Péchalat tweeted once? Or it's a perfect landing one? :think:
