Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

that was very.... exhausting interview :laugh:

I understood that he was feeling good today, as I understand it was first time official practice with new programs , and he had really good second part, but I don't udnerstand what he refers to :biggrin:

I think he said 'second quad', even though it sounds like 'second part', haha. Pretty sure he said the word 'quad' in a different interview before and it sounded like that too :biggrin:
 
If anybody wants to take a look at his LP practice from CoC: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x29f49u_1106-%E3%83%AF%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF-%E5%85%AC%E5%BC%8F%E7%B7%B4%E7%BF%92_sport

The feeling of the choreography really is different than Wilson's, isn't it?

The program looks amazing as I knew it would. Shae-Lynne Bourne's choreography seems to highlight Yuzu's strengths, but those announcers would not stop chattering! How annoying! :eek::eek: I couldn't hear the music and had to turn the volume off because I couldn't stand it. :bang:
 
Relax, everyone! Yuzu is going to wear golden pants in his LP! Hahaha!:laugh:

I could deal with gold pants. Maybe TFTT shirt, black belt with blings and gold pants. If I remember correctly he hasn't worn other colored pants since turning junior. Anyways, we will probably too focused on his program to think about costumes. I know I will.

La nuova frontiera di Yuzuru HANYU:
obiettivo presentare un programma libero con tre quadrupli e sette tripli, compresa la combinazione triplo axel/rittberger/triplo salchow.
Benvenuti sul Pianeta HANYU. Abitanti Uno: LUI!



The new frontier of Yuzuru Hanuyu:
The objective is to present a free program with 3 quads and 7 triples, including 3A/rit/3S combo.
Welcome to the planet HANUYU. Population One: HIM!

:laugh:
 
"including 3A/3rit/3S combo"
I think 3 rit is actually a 1 rit in here. He's not Kevin van der Perren after all.;)
 
Today is Yuzuru Hanyu Day!!! Less than 5 hours to go till showtime! I am sharing my happiness to everyone that my memorial stamps arrived today too. :biggrin: I am excited to go home already....
 
awwww. I like it!
Oh it's really good! Thanks for sharing. :)

And as Yuzuru is leaving his teenage years behind, I feel his smile is now becoming more like that of a young man than that of a boy. Your portrait captures that I think and also this: https://38.media.tumblr.com/227ed1d38e9e1a8b76b0ddda3c402cc4/tumblr_nem7grmJYP1tt3ew5o1_500.jpg.

Thanks for the support, guys! :o: I actually only upload 20% of my drawings online due to uncertainty of the response; I have a ton more sketches of Yuzu left to scan/upload in my sketchbooks.

Yeah, I agree with you. That's why in a previous comment I wrote: can we officially call that news featuring of the official practice "over-enthusiastic reporter men ruining Yuzu's practice music?" (Their intense chatting/speculating overrode the POTO music) :frown:

Yuzu practiced in a skating club in Shanghai today. He was crowded with many little girl skaters. One of them took some clips of his skating in rink and photos.

ps. As the video and photos are posted in Chines Weibo, someone might be blocked to browse.

No more signing(?)

The LP practice. He didn't do any jumps or spins, just choreography and step sequences. The recorder's phone was full and had to release more space right in the middle of the programme, so she missed about 30 seconds.

I hope that is not the sign of his POTO costume
Please no , no

People are speculating that it means his EX for CoC will be The Final Time Traveler, the design is very similar to his costume: https://twitter.com/_tiyo_ko_/status/530256829100466176/photo/1

Hopefully it's either a new costume that's white and gold, or ... let's prepare for the worst (in terms of FS costume). All I know now after watching the new official practice video is that the program looks awesome!

Asahi TV broadcast a special program Thursday night. They said that one hour before official practice, Yuzu showed up alone and make image training along rink! See 06m14s.

Yuzuru's English. I can't comprehend what he was saying, though. Anyone can? https://a.tumblr.com/tumblr_nemycgK0dy1rxq1qso1.mp3

I can see that he's still not much better at English. Ha ha

Not a perfect run but I enjoyed the program. It was beautiful despite failed combo and 4T . Good luck to Yuzu tomorrow. I will be awaiting for the videos... There were moments when the screen froze.
 
My advice to him would be to replace the 4S in tomorrow's LP. It's not worth it. He can win without it and he's clearly not feeling well so I don't think he should risk it.
 
I'll post my thoughts here and not in the LIVE thread because I want an opinion only from people who loves Yuzuru. I'm disappointed by this program: I'm not talking about the music or the choreo which I find exquisite, I'm not talking about Yuzu's mistakes because they can happen... I'm disappointed with the jumps' concept behind this program. Yuzuru already hit stellar scores with the traditional pattern: 4T - 3A - 3Lz+3T. I don't get where they want to go putting a majestic, reliable 3A at the beginning and the 4T in the second half. Yuzuru is the further thing from an athletic skater, he's fast but he has stamina's problems. Why they want to try something sooooo risky when you don't have the need. I wouldn't call it "progress", I can stand the risks in the FP, I can accept the idea to try the 3S or 3L in the short at most (this is what I call "progress") but I don't get the meaning of putting a toeloop in the second half only to get a little bonus but forcing your skater to push his energy.
 
His under eyes look a bit dark... I guess his placement is a good motivation for tomorrow though. Let us see what his plan b would be...
 
That is too bad! Not for him, and I still appreciate his skating. But for me. Now I am going to start my day in blue......
Go yuzu for tomorrow's LP!
 
His actual skating was stunning! It's amazing to see his skating skills improve visibly over a summer. Perfect 8.30+3.00 GOE for the axel yay :) Is it strange that I didn't find it surprising at all that he missed the 2 jumps? He's had issues with the 4T & 3Lz combo in the ice shows this summer, plus it's his first competition back, with everyone's eyes on him... Hope he brings out his fighting spirit and show us an amazing LP tmr >_<
