When Javi was with Morozov he had some pretty tight and sparkly costumes such as this beauty
The snaky thingie on the right arm is... special
Now I can absolutely picture lettuce Javi. That's such an interesting costume there.

- Now we’ll wait for Yuzuru Hanyu. If you saw his glare, can you imagine what we’re going to see? Well, finally, dear viewers, here we are – it could be a grand close to the evening. What will Hanyu show us – will it be a great close or a so-so close? In 2010, five years ago, this 20-year old – then 15 year-old – Japanese skater won the Junior World Championship, he didn’t get to the World Team first year he was senior, this is his fifth season. He was the third in his first season (in the WT), then he came fourth, then he won the Olympic Games and the World Championship, last year he lost the World Championship to his friend and training buddy, Javier Fernandez. Lets see what shape Hanyu is in today. After all, it’s Japan, it’s Nagano. He lost the Free Skate at Skate Canada to Chan, who had a stunning skate.
- A quad, absolutely clean!
- Wow! Quad Salchow…
- Quad Salchow, a school variant, clean! Quad Toeloop, clean. And he has a very good speed of skating, excellent edge work. Triple Flip.
- One more quad toeloop and a triple toeloop? Does that make three quads?
- And mind you, they’re all brilliantly rotated!
- 3A… oh, what a stunning combination – 3A and a 2T just after that with his arms aloft.
- Another 3A… and 3Sal, how great! What a combination!
- I’m waiting in awe for him to finish… I'm terrifed what we are going to see now!
- You know I had to restrain myself and stop commenting on his jumps, turns, spins and steps to let you admire and enjoy Yuzuru Hanyu’s skate…
- 113,99!!!
- … just to enjoy it. I think you did enjoy it!
- 118,59!!!
- How he… it’s difficult to find a correct word – performed? Fought? Put his soul in it? It looked so easy as if he could skate 10 minutes more!
- Well, he couldn't – he gave it all! Look at his face, look at the way he’s breathing! To be capable of performing to the best of your abilities for 4 and a half minutes just when you need it – up to the point of complete exhaustion!
- He pulled himself together like that in his own homeland! I think they’ll put up a monument for him in Japan!
- I think he’s already “raised himself a monument not built with hands and common folk shall keep the path well trodden”! The music comes from a Japanese film ‘Seimei’ – in fact, Abe no Seimei was a legendary person, a Japanese visionary who practised onmyoji – an ancient Japanese cosmology, divination, exorcism and defence against evil curses – sorcery, in short! Japanese folk sorcery, let’s call it that! And Abe no Seimei was one of those sorcerers and mystics…
- Folk medicine!
- Yes, he lived a thousand years ago, he was very famous… that’s why this music is full of energy, subtexts – Seimei’s personality had to be very strong and powerful, and Yuzuru Hanyu is as strong a personality as that! On January (sic!) 7th he’ll be 21.
- Look how he’s getting into the right mindset at the beginning! You can’t say there’s an awful lot of choreography…
- Is there little of it?
- It’s not that obvious, but it’s everywhere!
- He did everything! Look at the way he jumped! You know, 118,59 we saw at the end of the skate are scary, because yesterday he received 106.33 (and 101.45 was a WR before), now he already has a record in the technical score, and now the judges will shower him in the component score, and I’m scared to think about the score. The previous record was Patrick Chan’s and it was 196,33 if I’m not mistaken. What score he’s going to get now is just frightening. But he did everything immaculately – look, 4T – in the second half of the program, you see?
- Clean! And a triple – also clean!
- He’s got unique legs – they’re both rigid and soft when needed…
- Springy legs!
- Yes, they’re springy!
- You know, they’re like shock absorbers…
- Yes, rigid springiness! He’s a stunning talent, Yuzuru Hanyu, a university student, a modest guy, but his modesty conceals loads of ambition and drive and desire to win! But he knows how to rejoice – he was happy for his friend Javier Fernandez when the latter beat him at the last World Championship! He was happy because he knew it was just, Fernandez deserved to be Champion. I think he’s a greater idol in Japan than Daisuke Takahashi who was worshipped in the previous years. Now he’s applauding and bowing to Brian Orser!
- This Japanese tactfulness amazes and surprises everyone…
- And the good manners and the good upbringing!
- The upbringing too! That attitude to himself and his partners…
- 196,75 is Patrick Chan’s record in the free skate. No one has ever gone beyond 200.
- Will it go beyond 200?
- 216!!! I’ve also got my head between my hands now like he has – 216!!! 322!!!
- And what is next? 400? 500?
- No one has ever hit 300 – Chan’s record was 295! 322! 216! I think Orser is going to start speaking Japanese now – and it won’t surprise as much as this score does! Guys, this isn't World Championship, it’s just… 322,4!
- It's world ranking…
- Forget ranking, this is a world record which was unimaginable. It’s just as if Bob Beamon leaped his crazy long jump… Do they understand what they’re doing – and that Hanyu may not bother skating from now on? On the one hand, it’s a great triumph, on the other hand, it’s a great test for the psychologies of the people we can see on our screens. 322! I could understand it if it were World Championship, but this is just an ordinary Grand Prix event! Though it was a brilliant skate, of course, I can see that he received 12 top 10 marks in the component score.

Forget Boston (NOT translating even the SP from there!) - this is the moment of triumph. Unsurpassed, btw - except by himself.
Made me appreciate Seimei once again. It's difficult to top that - but the choreography of H&L is certainly more complex.

Yeah, Seimei had that minimalistic approach about it - but it was more projected, more pronounced than H&L. Or perhaps we haven't seen H&L at its best to compare yet...
I'm loving the post number I've got now - 1234...
Very much tempted to stop posting not to break this perfection!

I'm surprised you only have 1236 posts. I'm quickly catching up to you, but I'll always think of you as having high seniority in this thread

I'd been lurking like forever... and emerged only after GPF 2015.
As for the numbers... is that a challenge?
