If Hanyu win at WC, it's because his effort and your support guys. (Also ppl who pray for him to win) . Go and send him lots of support so he will deliver his program cleanly. Make him feel strong. Let's believe in Hanyu. :)

BTW, congrats for u guys who going to come to see him at WC, what a life to have chance to see him live. :luv17:
 
I do realize I've been extremely lucky with the Barcelona GPFs when it comes to Hanyu's skating there. :laugh: It almost makes up for the fact that I missed seeing him live when he became the world junior champion... 1.5 hours from my home. :palmf: (and no, it's not really a coincidence I started paying more attention to the junior circuit after I learned about that).
It's just weird, y'know. I cannot actually imagine him not winning Worlds.

Just so you know, though, it's not me, it's Pamigena who spreads the good karma.

Ah yes! Pamigena with her magic gold fairy dust :handw:. No worries, the gofundme will just have to cover both your expenses then. :thumbsup:

:sad21:
Clean Chopin live was just *____________* it was so fluid and flowy and everything was gorgeous! Except for the fact that I was sitting really close to all the camera people. There was so much camera clicking, I could barely hear the music!

Yeah...it's heartbreaking how gorgeous it was. :sad4: Sucks about the cameras though because the music really highlighted the highs and lows of his movements, and for me, it was like a spell was casted on the entire audience. :o:
 
25days to Worlds men's first practice :dance:

I love Yuzu fans group photo at 4CC......and it will be great if we can gather for a quick photo at Worlds on the SP & LP days before events start with the banners/poohs/gifts (though the banner will be covering half of my face or wear a mask :hopelessness::laugh:)

To date fans that will be going: Marin, Li'Kitsu, Pamigena, Winnie_20, Danibellerika, YesWay, Hamaguri, Alia, Beki, Sugiady. Any more?

Edit to include: Narcissa, Sallycinnamon, Kiches, Moria Polonius, Camillo, Itiahs

Should we take a poll as to when we're available for this? I will be attending SP and LP. Also the gala.
 
Crying ? neh the one with awesome sense of humor :biggrin:

That's not quite enough of a way to distinguish people, but I guess since I'm running out of options, I know who you mean. Doesn't that person panic before comps too though? :p

Yeah...it's heartbreaking how gorgeous it was. :sad4: Sucks about the cameras though because the music really highlighted the highs and lows of his movements, and for me, it was like a spell was casted on the entire audience. :o:

The spell was there even with cameras. It was really something special and magical beyond what I could put into words :love: clean PW was awesome too though! And lol, he scored a 95+ for it back then. I'm pretty optimistic he won't under-score that this time :laugh:
 
To all the members who will go see Yuzuru, have fun there and cheer hard for Yuzu :hap10: and make a pooh rain

Stock on some booze :biggrin:

Will any of you attend the practice since first day?

Yuzuru will be appeared in gravure pages of Bungei Shunju magazine, April edition.

Title: 50 beautiful Japanese in 150 years from Meiji period :luv17:

:hijacked: Here you go guys, I have finally translated Worlds14 - Yuzuru's long program. Hope you all will like it don't mind me I'm just going to go and crash on my bed and try not to think about potential errors I've made - I hate you all :biggrin: let me die on my bed now... (I'm kidding I love you guys... I think)

Commentators: Robert Blomqvist (sport journalist) and Lotta Falkenbäck (former figure skater)

(They start with a general introduction about Yuzuru. His credentials - they highlight his Olympic Gold. Tells us that he is from Sendai, coached by Brian Orser and more - nothing we all don’t all already now)

0:38

RB - He’s currently in 3rd place. And it is a “battle” between him and Machida, at least it feels like it. Film music by Nino Rota from Romeo and Juliette.

He was very darned/annoyed with himself after the short program (chuckles) even though he was in third place and said: now I am going to take revansch(era) (myself) in the finale (difficult word to translate, basically a mix of revenge and redemption – basically someone who wants to make up for their own failing/shortcoming, in this context). We will have too see if that will be the case, cause this guy has unbelievable (unheard of) potential/talent.

LF – (gasps) A salchow is what he is opening with, four rotations

LF – And four rotations on the ToeLoop as well, and that is the jump he fell on in his short program and is why he is in third place.

RB –Now there (really) is an edge to this WC finale (= it just got very exciting)

(They are quiet for quite a bit)

LF – 3A-3T, in the second half of the program

RB – Yes, there he cashed in 15 points for that combination

LF – 3A-2T

RB – And 3L

LF- (Yuzuru starts the triple jump-combination ) Lutz… (LF gasps at his 3S from almost a standstill and starts to laugh)

RB – (also laughs) That was amazing/almost arrogant (laughter)

LF – That was his triple jump-combination

RB – 3Lz! You can see how he is closing in on Machida, who is in the lead. Last half minute now, keep going (hold it)! Is he going to take the double? The Olympic Title and the World Championship title, within three weeks?

LF - He can’t be sloppy with the last spin – hold it now! (program ends) WOW! Oj oj oj

RB - He is completely drained. But if one can take a OGM and WC gold within three weeks it is probably historical – or?! I don’t know, you will have to check – it has probably happened before but look the guy was (only) born in -94! And look he looks like he is 75 (they mean he looks drained). But he held the whole distance! And look at the audience stand, it looks like the whole stand is about to crash down. Thousands of members of the audience are running down to throw flowers and teddy bears, and other good and small things (Swedish idiom). While Yuzuru Hanyu is standing at centre ice and is just enjoying the moment!

LF – But you, let’s not forget about Machida – he had seven points more in the short program

RB – Yes! That can be a deciding factor

LF – Regarding the free there is no discussion about who wins it, but the question is if it is enough?

RB - Alexei Yagudin 2002 won World Championship Gold and Olympic Gold – so it is clear that it has happened before… But, a teenager… He’s birthday isn’t until December, his 20th that is. And (he) does this, within three weeks!

LF – Look how nice the quad sal and the toeloop are, and it is two different quadruple jumps so he doesn’t have to do any in combination.

RB - And the flower girls are still(!) collecting the presents from the ice

LF – And the biellmann position is not very common amongst the men. Also he’s spins are sublime. 3A and a toeloop, a double (2T). He also did a 3A-3T…

RB - Junior World Champion in 2010, Olympic Champion in 2014 for seniors, the question is if he will take his first World Champion Gold.

LF – Yes. He gave everything, he probably didn’t have much more to give.

RB - Machida in the lead with 282.26. That is what we bring with us (that knowledge) when we now soon will see the scores for Hanyu.

RB – (laughing when Yuzuru bows to his Pooh bear) He is taking all of this incredibly well. This guy has his economic future secured already with an Olympic Gold medal and also perhaps with a World Championship Gold? As a 19-year old! He is going to be able to skate for many more years… Wait a moment, he is saying, I want to see the scores first…282.26 is Machida’s lead. 282.59! He is in first place! And the difference is (counting in Swedish) 33 hundredths (0.33) of a point. Talk about being lucky! Oj oj oj oj oj oj oj oj

LF- He is actually then making up 7 points on Machida! Who actually also skated fantastically well he too.

RB - Here you guys (the audience) have a guy who is hurting everywhere after having taken the Olympic Gold Medal in Sochi and now the World Title on home turf in Japan

They are both quite taken with Yuzuru (as most people are), not sure if it comes across :laugh:

I was in Finland last year for work. All I remember is green, green, green, green (I went to Kuopio and Helsinki) plus 2am mornings with more light than 9am here!
 
I've been to Helsinki as well and I absolutely loved it :luv17:

I recommend
- trying the little fishes (I don't recall the exact name but they're sold in the market square)
- Visiting the Uspenski Cathedral
- I went in the summer so there were lots of fresh berries in the market square. They probably won't be harvested by Worlds though :(
 
I'll be at worlds, too:) would be glad to meet-bring our support together:)

I will go to Helsinki with my sister. She wanted to know why I insisted on going to Helsinki and one day I told her about Y's history, showed her the programs in chronological order, and she is a fan now and understands completely about watching live once in a lifetime. Her words:" An artist on the ice".

At first she was not happy having to listen about some japanese skater she never heard of, but she got it, and was very impressed with his story and personality as well, and she wishes him well😀.

( she had stopped watching fs some years ago, so Y was completely unknown to her. Can you believe it...:laugh:)
