Autumn Classic Medal Ceremony
Thank you so much for the uploader of this video. This had many bloopers I kept on laughing while watching this!
#1: I find it a bit funny how SHORT the "red carpet" is from the boards. It's 10 steps away from the entrance! (maybe I got too used to the looooong blue carpets at Grand Prix events) Well, one nice thing about it is that, the medalists don't have to travel so far to the podium. In fact, they could just glide past it and come back later.
#2: Yuzuru is famous for his "Jumps" on the podium. But not at Barrie. He felt the need for quality check and just has to TEST the poor wood if it could hold his weight (as if he's any heavier). Glad it did. So Quality approved:agree:
# 3: After the medals and flowers were given, the announcer said "Ladies and gentlemen! Please rise for the national anthem of the gold medalist!"
So of course, SEIMEI would look for his flag.But he looked around and found no such thing exists! So he, Nam and Sean were like, "Where? Where's our flag?"

Lucky enough, I think the 'loving audience' provided the banners (as indicated by Yuzuru pointing to the audience and they faced there).
# 4: It started when Yuzuru accepted the medal and bowed. Since then, whenever Hanyu bows (READ: often) in the podium, the silver and bronze medalists bow too! Okay bowing is the best way to say thank you. But the bows are just very Yuzuru. It's like the other two just does what he does to the point that it's so synchronized! (cute!). Well, it's Sean's first INter( and considering he's Yuzuru's podium pupil) so he's allowed to mimic the OGM for now. But Nam...hehe, maybe Japan's politeness rubbed on him too.
# 5: Photo shoot of the medalists. Sean is obviously learning from Yuzuru as he was about to join Yuzu in his podium.
Sean-(stops) "What? Not yet? Aren't I supposed to take pictures with them?".
Yuzuru (whispers) "That's later Dude. "
Sean - Oh, sorry I forgot.
Then came the group photo where Hanyu tells Sean to show his medal and flowers.Even Nam joined the lessons! Such a great sensei he is!
# 6: The height comparison is funny too. Nam was so proud. Yuzuru was hopeless. Sean preferred NO COMMENT (as he is the tallest of the three) LOL!
# 7: The smelling of the medals and flower including the, "Chotto(means hey or wait?)-- Shon! Shon!" after the selfie. (His voice was so clear too!)
I'm not nitpicking here okay? There are just many wonderful moments in this ceremony that I just had to get off my chest.
To Yuzuru's victory and his new found friendships! Cheers!!!
To the owner of the video...I OWE YOU MY LIFE!
