Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[Meoima]

specs very kindly shared the video on the Edge: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?64053-Making-a-World-Record-Hanyu-s-Long-Program :luv17:

Now that the video is up on the Edge, please do not let some people bait you, the video was meant as celebration, not to give trolls their food On the other hand, we wouldn't mind some actual comments there from people who've watched the video

I am just laughing at people trying to bring it down...

I have known for long that these skating fans do not care about true skating at all. They only jump on some empty arguments like "this program is empty, I don't know what is a 3 turn or a rocker but definitely it's empty because I feel so"

As much as I appreciate the work you guys had with that video, and I've watched it and loved it, I am staying far away from that thread.

wouldn't blame you i might even say it's a smart decision

but then it just all gets trampled upon with silly arguments over world records not being sanctioned, that it's meaningless as long as it is not a comparison to other skaters ... instead of it being about... yuzu and what he put out?

Another article Yuzuru is commenting about Kyudo.

A reporter asked "If you challenge any other sports besides skating, what do you want to do?" They thought he would mention winter Olympic games, but, after hesitated to say for a while, "Well, hmmm, lemme see", "if summer sports are okay", he raised two sports; archery and kyudo. "I think it will be a good lesson to concentrate and as a mental training, with a sense of sharpening concentration when aiming a target", he explained the reason. He also said about the relationship with his name 結弦 (弦 means "string"). "It is one of the sports I want to try."

The high school I graduated as well as the city it locates are famous for Kyudo. I myself was not doing it but some of my friends did and one of them was a captain of the club. They were so cool in white upper (kimono) and black hakama

I'm glad it got posted in The Edge because all that hard work (seriously, it must have taken days! Thank you!) should be seen outside of Yuzu's fan circle (who already agree with it anyway). But yeah, my first thought seeing it there was this is not gonna end well.

To be fair, I think there are only a couple of very vocal posters who are gonna be loud about it. I think the general opinion in the figure skating community is less partisan than it's gonna seem in that thread.

 

[teeannroo]

The Daily Mail after the WC claimed H&L was about Finnish nature

And once again both Yuzuru and Javier are victims of awkward 'action' shots that don't flatter them at all

agreed and many (sane, smart, rational) lurkers on GS I believe. As long as it stays there, people watch the video, all good! Thanks narcissa

Yeah, this kid definitely knows what he's doing :dev3:

The same. And I found what happened then rather... underwhelming.

I guess not everyone can survive looking at winking Yuzu

Speak for yourself. My senses have been completely maxed out

That wink. I'm dead.

Speaking of which, this thread moves fast for populated by a bunch of ghosts

The wink was cute and nice, but I expected something a lot more... sensitive.

 

[YuzusHydroblade]

Yuzuru that wink was just pure evil.

And if you keep on watching there's a slow mo of it, too

You don't think he's made of sensitive material? I mean he's a tough cookie, but still.... he looks so fluffy :

 

[sallycinnamon]

@xeyra/Sally/mcq, you guys can start this as a project and others can also join to update it in the future.

@Specs, didn't your friend created some sort of graph before on Yuzu.

Yes, that's what we'll do. If it will be ready I'll post it here in the ff.

We have plenty of time in the off-season to make things like this.

I don't know about the other spreadsheet, but I am sure that there are many similar stats available on the internet, on tumblr for example.

This is Hydro's soul communicating directly from the limbo after being banished from both heaven and hell for shouting... Inappropriate comments about Yuzuru Hanyu winking. (May or may not include some low key blasphemy)
Keyboards are dead.
Hydro is dead.
Her soul is summoned every time Yuzu winks and hydroblades now.
It was fun, y'all
