Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

[Interspectator]

I hope he does a new program. But, if there's a live pianist, maybe it's what they both want?

It doesn't look like Chopin to me...

Yeah, on further watch, only the bracket is Chopin like but the rest seems a bit different.

We'll see soon enough!

 

[Yoa]

I think many of us felt betrayed last summer and now we have some kind of Chopin trauma

 

[chopinskate]

Are we all ready for Chopin 4.0?! [emoji23]
(and hello, long time lurker here. Perhaps I'll participate more from now on )

So the thing is I'm thinking this, but now I have someone else to blame it on if it turns out to be true.

This is a repost, the original vanished so apologies if it appears again and you get it twice, but I ran across these videos on youtube where the maker did a split screen of an original skate and the CiONTU one, and loved them.

He's planning to surprise us. It'll be a brand new piece!... by Chopin.

That camera on his lap... Yuzu must’ve been snapping pictures of other skaters. I really want to see how those come out.

Love this vids.
And I am so excited for Kobe this week. I feel like crying out of happiness.

He's slightly grown up here but still a girl.https://twitter.com/oYQvX5J39OQiirB/status/1006832697702957056
Finally Seimei is the only one that has the right gender. I wonder whether it's due to the facial expression. https://twitter.com/oYQvX5J39OQiirB/status/1006836509377376256

Poor Aljona... 44 already

Junior Yuzu is labeled as a 28 year old...
... while senior Yuzu is only 16 in Chopin 3.0...

I see his point now: recycle Ballade No. 1 for another 4 seasons and he finally looks like a 3 year old again

I read "Quadruple Axel" today, and there was Shirota's interview but didn't have very new information since it was review of PC Olympics. Shirota went to TCC in the beginning of January, a week after Yuzuru started practicing on ice. Then, she was thinking about telling him not to do PC Olympics if he was not ready for the gold medal. But soon after she saw him training on the ice, she got excited. He was only doing single and double jump, and 3T, but their axis was steady and she was convinced that he could go for the gold medal. She could not help but smile at his comment "I want to land 4A" after the game, and also noticed the difference in his comments from those made at Sochi Olympics, such as "I want to enjoy from now on", which he didn't say after Sochi. She thinks if he will try to land 4A, he can't have an off year, but she appreciates if the fans will wait for some time to see healthy Yuzuru again (I forgot to read when this interview was taken...). Lastly, she said the gold medal of PC is Yuzuru's, but a half of it is his mother's. She thanked and praised contribution and dedication of his family, especially his mother.

I also read "Sportiva" There was interview of Nobuhiko Yoshioka, he said it was not surprising if Yuzuru landed 4A in this season if all conditions were met, but it would need some time for him to do it actually in the flow of the program.

Please note that these are not literal translation and I just post what I remember

Thank you for this!

What what what? I want him to go slowly and build his stamina and work on all jumps to meet his high standards, judges standards (GOE is everything since jumps became cheaper) and come with a beautiful 4A on a healthy foot and leg. Because I want to see that jump as a part of his routine for 2 seasons at least and longer if he wishes to spoil us all. I'm not in a hurry, Yuzu should be in a hurry. Healthy and strong, please please please. So that 4A would get fat fat GOE.

Also- his Mom is a hero. If I ever get to meet her I would thank her personally for all the sacrifices she made to let her son build his amazing skating career. He was blessed with a beautiful and very supportive family. To me a huge part of his success is in love and support he gets from the closest people, his family. Hanyu family-

I guess it is a bit old interview with her? because she seemed uncertain about taking year off or not. So probably soon after Olympic Games? :scratch3:

I kind of wish Yuzuru weren't having all this speculation surrounding him. It must be unending pressure. It comes with the name now, but still.

Omg Olympic channel joined the army of pressuring Yuzu to go to Beijing Lol :reye: That title of the video doesn't help either. I think it'll depend on his body condition. He'll only do Being olympic if he thinks he can win.
