Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

[xibsuarz]

I think the bigger question is will we see Team BO going 1-2-3 at GPF or Worlds? Probably not this year but I wonder if that would be a first in Figure Skating history (Hopefully with Yuzu on top ;P)

P.S. With the men, I'm always prepared for a splatfest :hopelessness:

I don't know if it would be a first in the men's discipline, but in 2011 Worlds all the ice dance podium was coached by Marina (D/W, V/M, Shibs), I think it happened at 4 CC too. But perhaps it could be a first for the guys! My bet is on the GPF more so than Worlds.
And well, regarding SC, I don't have high expectations given that it's so early in the season, but I hope Yuzu grabs the gold there, to blow us all away at the GPF

My babyhe looks so fresh and happy! My heart stopped a beat:

He sure has a lot of luggage lol! He looks great and always with the sleeves on his jacket pushed up. Very manly!

 

[shiroKJ]

Just noticed that he got a trim. And it looks like hes on another dozen magazine covers this month, he's practically got his own corner/booth at the bookstore

Fans are lighting fast as always :shocked: Here's the clip of him arriving w/ Orser.

I changed some of my predictions based on this very scientific taro card reading


To everyone who's going to SC, have fun and hope you guys get to see a great competition !!

Look who's arrived

Looking good and excited! Hoping for the best. Stay safe dear Yuzu!!

This blog post with 'online tarot' prediction for Skate Canada is hilarious Yuzuru's profile especially is spot on. All the profiles are funny though. That Tarot is predicting some major splatfast for the men though lol

Some major epicness over there lol.
Cackling even from Brezina's OMG tragic
Patrick's weaknesses lmao accurate.
Yuzu's certainly 'blessed by the mystical powers of the Pooh-san tissue box' indeed ^___^
'Might spontaneously combust from excessive perfection at any moment.' good lord
I sure don't hope a headcase case for him...

And boy do I want splatfest this weekend absolutely not (but if somehow it ended up happening I can't say I'd be surprised then)
I don't ill wish anyone (no one should ofc) just praying and hoping Yuzu will stay on his feet, persevere, and come through it well!

Here's more photos #1, #2, #3

Love that the fans were at the airport to greet him and they gave him space

OMG! this thread will move like crazy this weekend

 

[ranran]

Damn I should change all my choices for the prediction game according to the tarot readings then I would really be different from everyone's predictions
Looks like we are in for a splatfest from everyone, but at least we'll be prepared

LOLOL Maybe you should~ who knows the tarot may work wonders

I'd honestly love to see a team Orser podium, but the way things are looking now, i don't think Shoma will let that happen. I swear he's on a mission to shake up men's skating this year. We'll see what happens, though.

 

[ahkeekee]

Oh god I think I would faint if I suddenly sat next to Yuzuru

Well I can't realize SC is already in two days !! I can't wait ! I know most of us think the first round of the epic battle will go to Chan but he didn't seem in a pretty good shape at his last outings, I have the feeling Yuzu can win this
As some of you, I have an intense intern struggle about watching the competition live or not. First because it will be the middle of the night here, and also because I always feel like I bring bad luck to skaters ...
Will we have some reporters in Lethbridge ???

Maybe it'd be like during the Olympics season? Patrick wins some of the relatively minor one and yuzu wins the rest XDD

Ah~ I forgot about her ID dominance.

Maybe some kind soul will externally stream the live for those outside of Canada? (If you can't use a VPN) I can't watch it live anyways since I have work and class till late evening. hwell:

Thanks Meoima :yay:

 

[FTnoona]

Thanks Meoima :yay:

Hola might not be the best extension to use. There was a thread up talking about how Hola sells the bandwidth of their free users so that other ppl can use it. I don't know if that is the case for all free VPNs, but just something that you should be wary of if you choose to use Hola.

Can you please explain how to use Hola?
I just created a new account. Under VNP selected Canada, but multiple times it said "Tried to Failed loading dailymotion.com." I'm really hoping to get this figured out before the practice tomorrow.

Thanks!

Oh no! we got 8 hours to solve this

8 hours!
Now my heart is beating more and more!

Thanks everyone for all the updates!
And to the members going to see SC live, have fan!

 

[Esopian]

This will be such an exciting competition! Can't wait for it to start and see what Yuzu and Patrick have in store (considering it's the first ultimate showdown since the Olympics). :yay:

Does anyone know if there will be a live-stream available for the official competition?

 

[Marin]

Just remembered .....nobody ever won GPF 3 times back to back in men discipline
For now too excited for skate Canada, need to follow @alia Jackson's advice about Yuzu bath and cocktail )

I think there is, keep checking this link and also here.
