Yuzuru Hanyu: 2013-14 Season
- Thread starter GS Forum Staff
- Start date
To follow the trains of thoughts here, would an alternate scenario for Yuzuru's development have been:
- Allocate JSF scholarship (and possibly more) to Sendai rink's upkeep instead.
- Hire specialists in skating skills (stand-in for Tracy Wilson) and off-ice training -- for conditioning, posture and lines of extension (preferably from young age as seen in Cha jun-hwan and Shoma Uno.)
- Depending on whether Nanami takes on Ryuju Hino, as imaginary scenario provides her better support and funding, that rivalry with Hino instead of Fernendez (twice on podium with PChan in 2011-12) becomes a tertiary influence on Hanyu's competition nerves.
- Nanami continues to oversee his choreography (most recently in WC gala), enlisting help as needed (in slowly shedding the "Junior" packaging in time for Sochi; his first EX as senior boasted those Vertigo "sexy moves" she choreographed, predating PW by 2 seasons.)
Other issues still remain in Nanami's care:
- stamina (subject to diet, SS to skate smarter, and off-ice conditioning - which requires hiring help for Nanami's mother-wife role, in order she may devote even more to coaching.)
- curbing his urge to over-train, pacing him (in a regimentation he claims to appreciate, and Dilson implied was necessary for the long haul, if suppressing/supplanting what many ~"used to love" about Hanyu)
...what else?

I've always had a soft spot for Nanami Abe. Despite what Yuzu has achieved with Boser, Wilson... I still find myself much bias toward her I can't help but miss her and sometimes dream of seeing Yuzu won the Olympic gold then hang it around Nanami's neck just like the old days... Fortunately I'm aware of my bias and delusion so I will shut up this time

Here is the latest clip that Javier practices his new program. The music is Black Betty by Ram Jam, not BlackBerry mentioned earlier.

Thank you shingalas. I believe this is it.
4S for Yuzuru before going to Canada seems to me just like 4 loop for him now.
Actually, I have seen one video he landed 4S as you mentioned, but is it really true that he succeeded many times in shows? (Edit: I mean before going to Canada) If so, it should have been talked more, but I have not heard about that. Also, one of the reasons Yuzuru decided to go to Orser's team is that Javier is there, who has that 4S, and he thought it would be good for him to secure his own 4S. Yuzuru asked Javier for the tip. Sometimes being annoyed, Javier was kind enough to teach him. And Yuzuru even asked Nam who is good at salchow jump 
He himself noted that it is a different matter whether he can jump or he can include it in the program of the competition.
At least, he includes 4S in the program now, and although it was not perfect, he landed 4S in Finlandia two times (2012 & 2013), NHK 2012, Nationals 2012, and lastly the Worlds 2014. These are the successes I know.
In the Worlds 2013, it was close, under-rotated with a hand touched the ice, but not fell.

Actually I am not sure if it was before Orser or after joining him he even landed 4S-3A seq in shows
But definitely his 4S technique changed alot from beginning with Orser to current state. Now this jump by him is quite big while at beginning it was not so big one

Yuzuru next shows:
I guess he will be going back to Japan next week, what are the chances of a new EX program?

I agree. I'm looking forward to seeing his perfect 4S in the competion soon, like the ones we see in the practices :yay:

In deed, when he lands it, his 4S is as huge as his 4T. Finlandia Trophy 2013 is the example. 2 of best quality quads.Actually I am not sure if it was before Orser or after joining him he even landed 4S-3A seq in shows

I've always been partial to the Change Ex, it's just really so much fun to watch. But I highly doubt that he would dust off that one (though it would be nice to watch the grown up version. With maybe a decent outfit this time
as much as I love the ex, the outfits were... meh)

Seems just fine to me even back in 2011 http://nonchan1023.tumblr.com/post/84232732678/can-i-just-say-a-shocking-truth-this-is-yuzuru

Very awesome for a 16 year old boy. But personally I think his 4S was huger in the clip in Finlandia Trophy 2013.

That's a good one. But I have to agree with you about the costume. I've seen 2 versions of the costumes and I can't figure out what's going on with the design on the black top he's wearing.
I was thinking of Sing, Sing, Sing. With the same costume
This EX version with the hat would be welcome too.
were those even costumes?
I know three different versions and it always looks like "well, I just grabbed a sweater before I came here, whatever"- Joined
