Quick transcription of the SP from the live airing on Eurosport 2, Netherlands:
HL: I hope we won’t be talking about points in the eighties anymore, because this man, Yuzuru Hanyu, skated a big world record two weeks ago, 106.33, at the NHK trophy in his own country, where he was in super form the whole weekend, two world records, and not little ones, either.
He will go for two different quads in the SP.
[no talking during the SP]
JP: tsjonge jonge jonge (Dutch expression for OMG except without actually using swear words), this is figure skating from another dimension and truly from another planet, this Yuzuru Hanyu, majestic, the interpretation of this theme, Frederic Chopin, and look at the score, 61.59 —
HL: and 59.44 when he skated that world record
JP: he skated above his own world record
HL: and he didn’t even get that many tens, he only got them from one judge, and the other judges didn’t give him tens (note: ?), so it can go higher.
JP: well, here there will be tens. I would almost say, a virtual world record for Yuzuru Hanyu, for this unbelievable performance. The ice is filled with gifts, as we’re used to, but we’re not even in Japan, we’re in Spain.
HL: maybe he will get the 110.
JP: and his rival has to go on the ice. Really, superlatives aren’t enough for this SP, as far as I’m concerned.
HL: as you say, from another dimension, because not only the jumps and the technique go flawless, but everything is so sublime, the skating, how he connects everything
JP: the transitions
HL: the ease with which he floats across the ice
JP: you think, it cannot get any better, and again and again he is able to improve himself
HL: the run-up to the triple axel, such a difficult jump, he stepped over twice,
JP: and the rest is just transitions, movements…
In the slow-mo we are going to enjoy all this beauty again. Here the quad salchow, out of passes, and then directly into a spread-eagle, that is into a moond (note: this is funny, the commentator actually literally says that, he uses the English word, and then explains himself… not that I can understand the Dutch word too well, but clearly he felt the need to explain it into Dutch), and then here the toe loop, quad and triple in combination. Brian Orser completely living the program with him, and there the triple axel, you couldn’t see the ‘over step’ passes, but there weren’t a lot of them, and then also the brilliant interpretation in the step sequence, majestic, what a work of art, choreography by Jeffrey Buttle, the Canadian, and in the free skate Sheilin Bourne, ice dancer
HL: yes, Orser and his team aren’t sitting with him, because they’re with his other pupil, Fernandez, who has to skate immediately after this, and what will it be? 106.33 his own world record
JP: yes, that could be near the 110
HL: even though the previous world record wasn’t even at 100 points, 98 something, also his [yeah… not having her facts entirely straight there]
through another: yes, 110.95 / almost 111,
JP: and look at the presentation, and average of 9.8, unbelievable, what a score for the Olympic champion Yuzuru Hanyu, leading with flying colours, 110.95, that also goes into the history books.
and they continue to talk a bit about Yuzuru being such a good sportsman, for asking the audience to quiet down for Fernandez, about them being training buddies etc.
It also looks like the commentary from the recap program is different, so I'll have to add that to the transcription list, too, I guess.
