He did canonball sit spin and pancake sit spin, but that one spin Yuzuru did where he almost put his skate over his head (and it was not a sit spin), I don't think I have seen Yagudin did it (is there a name for that, half pancake or something? I don't know, forgive my ognorance). In fact, I don't think I have seen many skaters did it, (I can't think of a name on the top of my head right now, actually)?
ETA : I actually think most Yuzuru fans that I know of are more of a Yagudin fans than a plushy fan, despite Yuzuru being a huge fan of plushy. Maybe because Yagudin's skating is somewhat closer to Yuzuru's than Plushy's? I meant no disrespect to Plushy, I think he is an outstanding talented skater and a legend, but his programs are the definition of Transition 404 not found; it is crossover-crossover-jump-crossover-crossover-jump.

OK. Tonight?
I have a fluff piece from a 4CC cameraman gushing about Yuzuru in Figure Skating Magazine coming up in exchange. ^.^
The two of you should make these kind of exchanges often (and us the rest of the members would be happy about it)
There must be someone, but probably I just don't care about them so much thus I never notice
Welp, plushy, you know I love you, but that particular point in your skating is not why I do

Gladiolusc's task is way more complicated than mine - I go through the same phrases time after time!

Gosh, these RUS ESP guys talk a lot!

-That’s it, dear friends, it’s time we forgot about those 70 or 72 points… Ross Miner – 72.4, Kevin Reynolds – 70.2, Dornbush – 70.05, Voronov – 70.03 – all that! Now we’re hitting a completely different level on the ice… Fernandez… Oh just look at that, Hanyu has already received 95 points for his SP this season. Fernandez has received 86 today. I have a feeling that those 70 points everyone else received today happened somewhere else, at a different time, in a different life. Look, there’s a number of modern skates now…
-Perhaps, they’ve a lighter configuration?
-Gary Moore’s Parisian Walkways is the music of Hanyu’s SP. A choreographic start of the program. He skated around a little and now it’s the entry to the jump. I’ve a feeling it was better than Fernandez’s!
Cool, isn’t it? He turns around with a 3-turn, swings his leg and jumps immediately!
3Lz3T! Cleaner than with Fernandez, I think – it looked easier!
You’ll agree, dear friends, that this wasn’t a SP, it was just an exhibition number at the gala at the end of NHK Trophy! Well, over here the Japanese audience are raving, everyone is cheering for him. The 17 year old Japanese skater. I can just imagine everyone thinking this is the future Olympic Champion for Japan.
You know it’s hard to say he just skated the program, or that he jumped through it, or just that he span around it… It’s like a performance (literally, work of art) – and he performed it! He produced a major effect. The spectators can see it too – well, they aren’t as much experts as the judges. The judges will notice everything. They won’t be able to give him anything lower than 90! Orser is happy, as you can see. You see the way they’ve figured things out for the three of them (literally, an idiom meaning ‘they’ve knocked off a bottle between the three of them)? It worked very well for them. The three of them have come together, three merry friends (an allusion to a well-known Russian song here).
I’m concerned how Fernandez is going to cope with the competition, because Fernandez is a hard worker, he’s a workaholic. He started with the 35th position at his first World Championship and he’s been making it for the podium for years, and then there appears a 17 year old next to him who just goes out onto the ice, skates – and gets more! And you understand that you’ve been working your socks off for so many years – and then you see a talent like that!
Yeah! Three skaters make a crew. (a quote from a song, sorry, nearly untranslateable!). Well done, guys, great, both Fernandez and Hanyu!
He’s been training with Brian Orser since spring 2012, but I’d like to remind you of his previous Japanese coaches who he grew up to this level and won the 2010 Junior World Championship – they are Nanami Abe and Shoichiro Tsuzuki. Hanyu grew up into what he is now with these specialists, so you can’t say in this case that Orser made him a champion, no, he came to Orser well-prepared. But they’re cleaning up the finer points with Brian Orser, Tracey Wilson, the choreographers David Wilson and Geoffrey Buttle, who was invited by the team to choreograph the FP (sic!). That’s a great shirt, look, these folds, and inside they’re covered with glittering mirror-like cloth. They look fantastic during spins or step sequences. Yeah, you’re a lucky guy, Brian Orser, to get such students! But on the other hand, he provided Korea with their first Olympic Gold. Yuna Kim won in Vancouver. Yuzuru Hanyu has just thanked everyone. Well, the same score, the same score – 95.32, now I hope these numbers don’t go to his head. He made his home audience happy.
I think his success won’t go to his head! Everything will be all right here!

Covering NHK 2012 SP - another commentary.

This young boy – he’s only 17, he’ll only turn 18 on December 7th – Hanyu is getting a special attention. Look, 95.07, World Record in the SP, the result he got at Skate America. Then he was brilliant in his SP, without a single mistake. The judges couldn’t find a fault with anything, so he got such a high score.
(silent during Yuzuru’s skate)
What can you say, he’s just brilliant! Honestly, I wasn’t sure that the 17-year-old Hanyu would be able to cope with his SP – the general expectations, everyone came round to see him, his home audience, his home arena – all that must have been a pressure for the boy. But look at the way he performed it – he went out on the ice as if it was nothing much, absolutely relaxed, and he did everything. He has wonderful spins, and in Canada (???) all his spins got level 4, and here too… Once again, he has done as well in his SP here as he did in Seattle. In Seattle, US. Now it’s understandable why Brian Orser wasn’t along with Javier Fernandez when his score was announced – he was preoccupied with the other student. Of course it’s hard to surprise Brian Orser with anything, but here he is… let’s have a look – a splendid 4T, these spins – so fine and elegant! Difficult and elegant… every one of them will get level 4. You can such ease and lightness in his program. An excellent 3A. He’s got a very difficult program – a quad, 3A and 3Lz3T combination. Yeah, he’s got perfect nerves – I remember that in Canada, well, I mean, the US, not Canada he bombed his FS just because he seemed to have been shocked by the score he got for his SP. Let’s see what he gets today. I’ll remind you that he got 95.07 at Skate America. And all you can do now is take off your hat – 95.32! A new world record – he surpassed his brilliant result by nearly 0.3.

Well every public speech of Tat ends with words " Lesha mojet vsio " " Lesha can do everything "( Lesha =Alexei)
At her age I think she's truly blessed to be still passionate about her work and Lesha )))

The thread seems to be dead today - was it me who killed it?
It's the weekend, Fayruza. Probably many are going out
I doubt your translation killed conversations. I enjoyed it so much, and if anything, I actually think it starts conversations and talks
ETA :
Since we just talked about TAT, I feel obliged to share this - her anniversary show. This one is where Yagudin skated his winter program and she of course watched with googly eyes
