When he fell (repeatedly) during the gala I felt sorry but I was already looking forward to all the photos of his embarrassment. I wasn't disappointed
Aaand the Yuzu-withdrawal symptoms are kicking in.
I'm still trembling with excitement

I'm still trembling with excitement
I do wonder if Yuzu ever gets to see any of these photos of his, since he doesn't have any SNS accounts (or does he?).small collection of cute events that happened in WC 2017 that remind us (and Yuzu) of other events in other competitions.:luv17:

Maybe he has some private ones.

I hope he never finds PPoS invisible conversations

Already?
Me too! There won't be any pressure on him and we will be able to lightheartedly enjoy his programs and all the fluff around it. Plus the possibility of his 4Lz debut.

hahahah I want to rewatch and relive it all live again knowing the outcome!

I'm not sure if someone has done it before me (sorry too lazy to check all the pages 
), but I've translated the French commentary on France TV done by Nelson Monfort (sport commentator), Philippe Candeloro (2-time Olympic bronze medalist) et Annick Dumont (FS coach and commentator).
They're praising Yuzuru VERY much. :agree:
Nelson: For Japan, Yuzuru Hanyu, world champion and current Olympic champion. Slightly disappointing in the short, tho (he chuckles) disappointing for Hanyu means extraordinary for many other skaters. So, Yuzuru Hanyu, Japan, his rank after the short doesn't really mean that he can get the title, but with him you may never know. Quads and unmatched artistic grace. For the country of the rising sun, Yuzuru Hanyu.
Philippe: Indeed, 10 points behind Fernandez... and we're going to see what he's going to do.
- 4Lo, it worked very well.
- Now, for the salchow... Yes! He's kicking things off.
Nelson: Extraordinary biellman spin, rare among men.
Philippe: And it's making points.
- A little moment of rest before going back to the jumps.
- And the 3F... now, watch out, an important moment, the third quad. A different third quad. (though he meant as it will be in a combination)
*Yuzu jumps 4S*
Philippe: Yes!
*Yuzu jumps 3T right after.*
Annick: Extraordinary!
Philippe: In a combination! 3T after the 4S!
Nelson: So, for now, Philippe there're two 4S, one with a 3T, and a beautiful 4Lo. Yuzuru is about to take the lead of the competition.
*Yuzu jumps 4T.*
Annick: Bravo!
Philippe: And here! Oh la la! Wonderful because that one wasn't planned (actually it was but he must have forgotten or simply didn't know lol).
- And here we can admire what a champion really is... (Yuzu does 3A-2T) here in Helsinki with a 3A and a 2T with both arms in the air.
Nelson: For sure, the Nippon is skating the best program of his season. Will it be enough to get onto the first place?
*Yuzu does 3A-1Lo-3S*
Philippe: Yes, 3A!
Nelson: Oh la la!
Philippe: and with the loop, 3S.
Nelson: This program is a masterpiece! This program is an absolute masterpiece!
- And the spin is held for a looong time, to gain more points as Annick will explain in a few moments.
- The Japanese public is spell-bind! The Japanese public, who travelled more than 10 000 km to come here in Finland, are in heaven!
*Yuzu does hydroblade.*
Nelson: And that is his trademark. (since Yuzu is the only one who's been doing it for a while)
- What a wonderful, wonderful choreo, Philippe!
Philippe: This is incredible because he added jumps that were not planned (not true but that's ok lol), he's dealing with it and doing it. This is a very good sport fight that we're seeing today.
Nelson (he sounds near in tears): You're going to hear the ovation. You're going to hear the ovation!
Yuzu makes final pose.
Nelson: Extraordinary! Extraordinary! Yuzuru Hanyu! The Japanese flags are all rising as one! But the only one who seems to stay calm under such circuntances IS the main character. Annick and Philippe are on their feet! (you can hear them clapping) Oh la la! And look at all the mascots, including Winnie the Pooh I think, that are thrown on the ice! *chuckle* Annick, you were-
Annick: Oh lalalala *sounds out of breath*
Philippe: We just HAD to stand up as well.
Annick: It's one of the most BEAUTIFUL. PROGRAMS. we have ever seen in figure skating, for the Senior Men.
Nelson: Ah, tell me! Can you repeat what you just said?! (the way he says it shows that he agrees)
Annick: Ah, this is one of the most... beautiful... program... that figure skating has ever had in its history. And he's the first one to go in the group. There're five skaters that will go after him. I have to remind you that this extraordinary skater is only 5th after the short program, he is TEN POINTS behind the Spanish skater.
Philippe: That might be be where this confidence came from. By going first in his group, he couldn't be disturbed by what the other skaters could have done. And to be 10 points behind and only 6th (he meant as first one to go out of 6), he could totally let go.
Annick: I also think... this is something worth noting... that he changed his strategy. He changed it because he's 10 points behind the leader, he changed it because he skated first. And thus, he had nothing to loose, because he hasn't won yet. So, I remind you that technically it's a program with four quads, two 3A, two 3-3 combo... so, there is: 4 quads... 1, 2, 3, 4... 5 triple jumps (Nelson chuckles) sorry I have to count!
Nelson: I love it. *laugh*
Annick: Sorry, but there is so many! *laugh* Five triple jumps, including 2 3A, 4 quads... all brought with much elegance, so he has bonus on everything. And with a very smart layout, as there were LONG resting parts before the remaining two quads in the second part. And I did notice, he stayed 5-6 seconds with very slow movements and I told myself "Oh lala, what is he planning?". And he was planning two different quads. It's fantastic.
Philippe: It's a minimum of 28 rotations in the air, during the program.
Annick: Yeah.
Philippe: This is huge. *laugh*
Nelson: I'd like you, dear Annick, to repeat what you said, that we have just seen... *end of replay, Brian, Yuzu and Tracy appears* as we see on the left the Canadian Brian Orser and on the right the choreographer Tracy Wilson (they may think that Tracy has done the program), is that right?
Anique: Yes, that's correct.
Nelson: Tracy Wilson, who became an Olympic medalist in 1988 in Calgary, in Ice Dance, with the late Bob McCall (short for Robert), that's right.
Annick: That's right.
Nelson: She's a great choreographer, Tracy always a smiling and likeable person. And here with their student, well, god, there's an absolute pride.
- So, we're going to know because the world record for the free skate is now set. You told us, he did it-
Annick: He did it, yes. And this is even better, what he did today was... honestly, I'm repeating myself, this is the most beautiful Men free program-
Nelson: Of all time!
Annick: -that I have ever seen! And maybe there will be others because this is going to be incredible, especially on the technical side.
*the score comes up*
Philippe: Season Best.
Annick: And here it is! Season Best! S.B, it means that he beats his own record! It's indeed the most beautiful program ever seen! Of the whole Men Skating history!
Nelson: So, you know, we're very proud on France Television (the tv channel) this afternoon, to present you this absolute masterpiece. This program will have to be shown in all skating schools. The Nippon's emotions... no comment needed. And god, now it's going to be INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT for the next five skaters, because let's remind it! Let's remind it, Philippe! Hanyu is only 6th on 6 skaters (he means as he was only the first to go). There're five skaters left. That was the drawing.
Philippe: Yes, and the one who's skating next is planning to do 6 quads in his program, including 4 different ones, but even if he succeeds in landing them, it doesn't mean that it will be the best program today. Because today, Yuzuru has done such performance that it's going to be very difficult to beat this record.

Well, there will be the pressure to deliver perfect LGC! After being "deeply depressed" about the WC one. Looking forward to it!
I rewatched last group FS with my mother the same evening after the dance competition. And to celebrate we opened that Veuve Clicquot champagne that I was saving for a special ocasion. I promised it about two hundred pages ago, remember? And I have one more bottle left
. And I have to say that rewatching it is almost as exciting as the actual competition was.

And tame 3A which suddenly went wild
I think it was because he was extremely happy and didn't concentrate at all. Nothing more.
if i remember correctly i think he said he searches himself on Yahoo :think:
Whuuuut! Really??

Nelson has been commenting figure skating for 30 years and still can't tell a spread eagle from a spiral
.But his love for Yuzu is genuine.
In fact I've found that our three musketeers comment are deeply annoying when you're watching live, but very enjoyable when you rewatch the program
Btw thanks for translating, I wanted to do it, you saved me some time
They also praised Yuzu A LOT during the gala commentary. For them, Yuzu was the absolute king of the whole competition, the champion amongst the champions of Worlds championships.
He liked videos about himself (mostly jumps) on youtube. Saw his liked list on his youtube channel
I am pretty sure he searched for fantaken videos of his skating at the very least, he must have wanted to look at different angles of how his skating whether he was clean or not (at least if I am a figure skater that is what I would do) and watched and analysed them. Who knows, maybe like all of us he is frustrated at FUJI for blocking all the vids because it makes it harder from him to study his programs
