Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season
- Thread starter GS Forum Staff
- Start date
My friend in Japan has just told me Yuzuru will go to 4CC. It seems he will test his original layouts there.
We need a prayer circle for his body.
I like the idea of him going to 4CC, but I am scared that he is going to test his original layouts too. Oh well at least he is testing them, so there is a chance that he might actually perform it at worlds. Maybe doing the original layout for the SP will be enough to satisfy his inner dare devil risk taker self at worlds (wishful thinking)

Hopefully yes
But I'd like to see a clean program (it was so close
) and with 3 quads it's going to be really difficult. But yeah...he's Yuzu...he can do it.

He really wants gold medal from 4CC
As he said - no more silver xDHopefully yes

From the uber rainbow and butterfly positive perspective. It's one less 3Lz away from perfection
Am I the only one caring not even a bit for the amount of points he might got? Scores mean nothing nowadays for me, the rankings make absolutely no sense. I just want a memorable and well done performance. At least he's not insane to test the layout at Worlds, but It would be a dream if he actually decided to stick with the current layout and improve the performance, or at least bring back the eagle-3A-eagle because I live for this 3A Oh Yuzuru, your greed is going to kill me, or your knees before that

Personally, I'd rather see a smiling Yuzuru during a fall than a Yuzuru who settles for skating a clean program that doesn't push him enough (to his way of thinking).
A clean program means nothing to me, anyway; I can stand on figure skates for three minutes and call that my planned program and I could probably do that cleanly, but that's not exactly better than a Yuzuru Hanyu who falls on all his jumps.
Obviously Yuzuru loves pushing himself, and he just proved at the GPF he's in good enough condition to give it a try, at least.
Such great news that he'll be at 4CC, too!

You have more talent than I do, then! I do care about points and I would love for him to break records this season, but considering all he's been through this year I want him to take it slow and not over-exert himself. I was relieved to hear he won't go back to his original layout for Nationals and I think he can accomplish it in time for 4CC. Best of luck to him!

It's not only about doing it cleanly, i'm talking about improving the performance, if he does it and lands everything than even better though. It's quite frustrating to watch his run throughs and see lots of bits of choreo and see him holding every pose quite well to when actually watch the program while he's at "competition mode" and see that it's almost all gone
He has quite a habit to eat the choreo in free skates in order to land everything. I'm now forever replaying his free skate run throughs

Well, I can't say that I'm not excited about the possibility of a clean FS I've been in the "THAT 4S" mood these days.
Don't worry about scores and records...when the program will be as good as he wants it to be, he'll break all the records.

"That 4S indeed!" It was a text book perfect jump. -Not eked out like the WC 4S was.
Hanyu's best jumps so far have been his 3A and 4T...and if he can add the 4S to that collection there will be no stopping him.
It's rare that a skater has both a brilliant 4T and brilliant 3A. Who else has it? I guess Vornov is actually quite consistent...but he telegraphs his jumps like crazy.
Machida and Mura have good ones.

Me too, it even had a running edge, that 4S
For me records in the end are just numbers put together, i'm more interested in how is the final product than in how much supposedly it worths.Fancam of the Gala finale, it includes him talking to Shoma, Sergei, Kovtun and Kaitlyn.

Before practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFTtokYzp7Y He goes to talk with Tatsuki but I guess that's actually the moment of when he started to be friendly with Maxim?

Here is my quick translation of Hanyu's FS from the Japanese broadcast which was delayed quiiiite a bit as the live was at 5 in the morning. -I wish they had shown it live.

Feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong. Sano Minoru, is a former figure skater...but I don't know who the other comentator is.

It really is amazing. Honestly, after NHK I didn't even imagine that he would end up skating so well at the GPF. Super glad he did though!! :dance:
