Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

She doesn't, either one. And I don't think Yuzuru would ask her, which basically leaves us with her asking him. Overall, chances 0.1% :laugh:

Maybe an exhibition program for the Olympics? Something powerful like Overcome...you know, a girl can dream :luv17:
 
I would love to see TAT choreograph for Yuzuru as well, even just an exhibition. I loved all her Mao programs because they have so much drama and Yuzu does drama so well. It would be such an intense program. :luv17:

And I really love their interactions, like after Worlds him apologizing to her and her sending him songs to skate to. Does anyone else do that with her and does she do that with anyone else? Also, are there translations of some of TAT's other commentaries/comments on Yuzu?
 
@Raomina
Yes, TAT choreographing his EX for the Olympics is my dream too. I kind of hope that whatever he wrote to her, might give her a push, considering she did say 'one day' then. Well, I can dream.

And no, I don't really think any of the current non-Russian skaters have this type of communication with her. It's just wonderful to see. There are translations of her comments from Boston and NHK somewhere in the thread I think. I distinctly remember the ones post the Boston SP and then all that talk post the LP.


Ok idk about you guys but the fact that he gifted her a photo of himself makes me :laugh2:
it's sweet though don't get me wrong :laugh: I'm sure she appreciated it.

A two page letter along with it probably tipped the scales ;)
 
It sounds like the photo was of him skating to her music, not just any old photo of him.

Oh yes I know, I'm aware of that. Plus he also wrote a letter for her so that's sweet. I mean just the thought of sending my own photo to another person is amusing to me..


Oh and btw thanks for the SC fancam kiches!!
 
It really is completely different when you see them in person. I went to Worlds in Boston and Yuzu commands your attention as soon as he steps on the ice. He is a huge presence. Before Worlds I didn't understand the hype around Patrick, but when he skates it is magic. Same with Yuzu. Even my Mom, who is not a skating fan at all, saw that there was something special about both Yuzu and Patrick.

Congrats on your first post! I agree, they're both really special, especially live:agree:
 
Ok guys, I hope I'm not offending anyone with this, but I think we should chill a bit about posting about Yuzu in other competition threads where he is not skating. If someone else brings him up or if the GOEs and PCS of other skaters seem unreasonable in comparison to what he gets, just let it be and let his own skating do the talking. It's getting too much even if I can agree with some of the points. The only thing it's doing is turning non-fans into haters, like what happened with Chan, due to the overload and that would just hurt Yuzu unfairly. There is just really no point in trying to maintain the absolute score rankings based on marks from different competitions with different judges. We all know the subjectivities in judging figure skating, for better or worse.

Yuzu is still recovering and has increased tech, and putting him out there on a pedestal so much will just cause unnecessary hate and complaining when he does compete imperfectly, which is more than likely going to happen this season. He has to focus on himself right now and we should focus on him staying healthy and improving at each event, not that he is getting lowballed early in the season when he's clearly not at his best and others are more seasoned. We should save the comparisons for the GPF when they're all together and just enjoy all the performances Yuzu has given us so far! :ghug:

I don't want to belabor the point but the context is really important here, especially when a celebrity is involved. Sending any old photo of himself could rightly be considered narcissistic. But sending one of himself skating to her music choice is sweet and thoughtful. (And guarantees that she'll be his fan for life. :luv17:)

To tell the truth since following fs in 2014, I'm seeing the side of fs that I've not seen before and as time goes by now I'm beginning to hate figure skating and GS :hopelessness:.

We got bashed for supporting Yuzu even though we are not putting other skaters down :frown:. I have stopped posting in the Edge, and I much prefer to stay only in this thread (made a mistake of going to COR thread today :p)

Totally agree with you.

The same way we would not appreciate someone coming into a thread to put down Yuzu if he won something, Yuzu fans also should not go into GP threads where Yuzu doesn't even appear and make constant comparison to him. It's bad taste.

If Yuzu was not in the competition, then leave him be. Or at least take him out of your angry discourse. Stop using him and his scores to justify your anger.

That isn't the way to make people realise he's a fantastic skater. Instead, it's a sure way to make people not even want to watch him, because in their mind he'll now be linked with all that negativity.

Basically, not only does that achieve nothing, it actually hurts his reputation, by no mean of his own at all. It's disgraceful.
 
Ok guys, I hope I'm not offending anyone with this, but I think we should chill a bit ...

Everyone can decide on their own I think how they should post and where so considering GS has rules and mods, it should stay at that.

What some crazy posters on an American online forum think about Yuzu is not going to hurt him.

You know, since I started coming to this forum on a regular basis, I've really noticed a decline in the quality of comments and posters. I'm not talking about this thread but the main general forum. And I'm finding that I don't even want to post there myself anymore or even read most of the comments.
 
I like figure skating. But now I'm really starting to hate it. :mad:

You really shouldn't care about what others say. Unfortunately being a fan doesn't equate to being reasonable. Even in my passionate (and highly missed) Yuna time, I could clearly see that she wasn't perfect on everything and that others, notably Mao, were superior in some aspects. Unfortunately some people cannot be objective and this leads to pointless discussion and much hatred. What I admire most in Yuzuru is his dedication to the improvement of the sport, the fact that he never puts the blame on sb or sth else when a performance go wrong (unlike other skaters...now, this is a thing that really puts me off and prevent me from enjoy them) and his willingness to improve in every aspect of the skating. Last but certainly not least, Yuzuru has a very unique kind of charisma that sets him apart from all the rest and makes him so special to watch. That doesn't mean that other skaters are not enjoyable as well but the time will tell who will be remembered and who won't.

Well, it happens in all sport, not just figure skating. I actually think FS fans are pretty civilized compared to fans of other sports. At least they kept their anger on screen and keyboards and not into rioting or fighting physically. I also find most of the discussion here are healthy and technical. I find it to be within line if they attack/criticize one's skating and not the skater as a person personally. Of course there are a few who crossed the line, but I would not like to generalize the majority of skating fans who are pretty rational and level-headed.

Actually, it happens in any aspect of life; politics, musicians, celebrities even tv or animation characters. That is what happened when people are passionate about something. There will be disagreement and discourse. So I think I personally find that it is better not to regard it too much when there are a few bunch who dislike/criicize/complain about Yuzuru. As long as they don't defame/slander him. I am fine with it.

I love figure skating. Discussing on it on the internet is a trouble.
Most of the top skaters who can be seen in big competitions viewed world-wide are dedicating their life to it, and their competitive careers are not so long. Being able to witness their best performances sometimes simply makes me happy. In such moments I don’t care what other people say about the skater or me. Even when my beloved skater is having a tough time, basically no one can take away what I felt in the skater’s performance from me. But seeing hateful words sometimes make me forget that.

Today, TAT’s comment on the letter from Yuzu saved me from that. Thank you for sharing it and reminding me of fun side of the internet, mcq.:thank:
 
Not to labour the point, as I know we like to keep this thread a happy discussion, as opposed to many other sections of the forum. I do get a little bit saddened when I notice people on GS/tumblr/twitter/etc being less than positive about Yuzuru and belittling his efforts. However, I get much more saddened when I see people saying that they used to like Yuzuru, but the amount of his fans bringing him in to discussions and comparing him with other skaters has made them like Yuzuru less.

Of course it doesn't affect Yuzuru, he'll likely never know. But I do think that it's worthwhile toning down the posts made in The Edge or the comp threads, especially if it's a competition Yuzuru wasn't in. It will give less credibility to the haters who shut down any reasonable comment with 'here come the yuzu ubers' if we quit fighting with them. Let them troll, let them have their opinions, and we'll continue to use our efforts to support Yuzuru on his path to total world domination...er...I mean Olympic Gold :biggrin:

Personally I think a logic like this is absolutely ludicrous and I see this fairly often too and not only regarding Yuzuru. I'm a fan of the skater not of his fans or his scores and in my opinion people should aspire to do the same.

Sadly It's noticeable that, not only in figure skating but everywhere else, for some people the amount this person is likely to be invested in something is in inverse proportion to the amount of overprotective fans this certain something has. This is a kind of hipster logic that I cant get behind.

And I agree that it would be nice if people could refrain themselves in bringing Yuzuru or any other skater to be honest in discussions that they originally aren't part of in order to bring down other skaters or their scoring. It's just unnecessary and fairly annoying. However, there's always the freedom of speech card and I kind of agree with too, so I'm hella divided most of the time. :scard8:

Sometimes I see Yuzuru fans in competition threads passive agressively commenting on scores and comparing to Yuzuru's lmao I just laugh and It almost makes me want to change my avatar to a Yuzuru photo and comment on scoring just to present a completely opposite point of view and make people's head explode. lmfao ~~ triggering But I'm not the type to comment in scoring much because I think it's pointless.
