Thanks! Looks like that's it to me too. That's one of those instances where I know the word but not the kanji. Par for the course .

Haha same for me - I could have understood the whole sentence by myself if I only knew the kanjis XD

no-one does comebacks quite like yuzu

 

[narcissa]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's won the free skate in every competition he's entered this year

Now pair that up with a Parisienne Walkways-like record-breaking short program and someone will be unbeatable :agree:

Not quite, he was 3rd in the free skate at GPF.

Oh right how did I forget :hopelessness:

Well, almost! Back then the SP was still the trusty steed

 

[TerpsichoreFS]

Aw why did he get embarassed by the pink bow? Chill Yuzu, no one thinks you're a girl

Also his head is tiny! When I compared him and Shoma wearing the bow I was like

I hope someone throws him a flower crown next year. Unfortunately I'm not talented enough to make one and even then, he never comes to Europe for GPs.

Hanyu, Uno finish 1-2 in men’s free skate at World Team Trophy

Hanyu opened with a big quad loop, but then singled his planned quad salchow in front of another capacity crowd. He made up for that mistake by executing a quad toe loop/single loop/triple salchow combination in the second half of the program, instead of the triple axel/single loop/triple salchow he did in Helsinki at the worlds.

The change in strategy marked a new accomplishment for Hanyu.

“It’s the first time I have done that combination,” stated the Olympic champion. “I was able to come down solidly, but not perfectly. I am satisfied to a certain extent.”

Hanyu received level-fours for his spins and step sequence.

“This competition is not something where I compete with the other skaters in terms of total score,” Hanyu noted. “So that was something that was on my mind as I skated throughout the program. But at the same time, when I was at the world championships, after the short program I was about 10 points behind the top skater (Javier Fernandez). Yesterday it was about 20 points difference, which is a huge difference.”

Hanyu said the partisan crowd on hand helped him rise to the occasion.

“I was able to gear the energy from all the people in the audience to my somewhat satisfactory performance,” Hanyu commented.

I don't care what people say about Shoma, but his bro moments with Yuzu (or Yuzu's annoying uncle moment) is the reason I live everyday...
These two are just so cute.... :luv17:

Rooting for Yuzu is a rollercoaster experience. Gloom and doom one day and elation the next.

Did you go to Boston? I was there and ended up meeting up with some long time friends and that distracted me for a bit. But the next morning when I woke up, reality hit me. I think I woke up with a couple of tears.

Nope, I live streamed it. I almost went bc Boston was close enough from my campus, but I had a tennis match that weekend (I play college tennis) so I couldn't go. I ended up watching it in my apartment with a bottle of wine and a bottle of Stella Artois ...

I don't think I've ever heard him sound like that! Sounds like he's thanking Shoma for the short and then apologizing for the short. Did Yuzu say "moushiwake arimasen"? Isn't that a little more serious than just sumimasen? Because if so, dude it's not that serious

Oh. Well if there's one thing I've learned with this kid, it's that I should find distractions if things don't go how I want them to.
