Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

[Interspectator]

Seeing how all the young guys are pulling out all the stop on the technical side, do you think Yuzuru will try the quadruple Lutz too?

I'm guessing he'll see how they do in their senior competitions and maybe put it in somewhere in the middle of the season, if he thinks it's necessary?

In addition to Orser's explanations about using sand under the ice, narration also says the sand is used to reduce the damage on skater's body

The twitterer gathered the moments Yuzuru saw WR in KC. She said it was difficult to make this into 2 minutes because there were many.

All I can say is HE IS AMAZING

I'm in love with the various changes to Yuzu's twizzles and spins in Chopin. And the encore was so beautiful.

So happy to see Mr. Orser being a proud daddy for the club and his students. :luv17::luv17:

I have the GP assignment timetable on my desk as well, and I was thinking about the same thing, every single events in the GP series, plus nationals, euros, plus Olympic qualifying events, other events... :shocked:
Mr. Orser, just tell us the truth, can you teleport?

The movements of his fingers during the spins were impressive!!

 

[giulia95]

thanks everybody for links and updates

I love, love , love ,love Chopin's step sequence, so ethereal and dramatic

The movements of his fingers during the spins were impressive!!

Yes! I actually replayed his doughnut spin several times because of how majestic his hand and finger movements are. Add to the fact that the shot is actually framed well and zoomed out at the appropriate amount with the background light in just the right spot by his hands and it is stunning!

I was watching it several times trying to think of how to describe the movement of his fingers and hands. My immediate thought was that it reminded me of a merry-go-round. Then I thought it reminded me of someone opening and closing a wind-up music box with a ballerina on a spring twirling in the center, or a flower blooming. I'm so glad they broadcast this performance and encore!

--And now, it's another looooong wait.

Not too long. In around 2 weeks we should know his long program music and see a little bit... 2 weeks isn't that bad....

Mura says that Yuzu has been a key person in motivating him to continue another 4 years after Sochi. Yuzu has given him advice in how to visualize the quad toeloop and the salchow.

I really want to know what's for free

We all know it's going to be Seimei.

 

[iorii]

We all know it's going to be Seimei.

Was this sarcasm? (Genuine question!)

Because while I really wish so, I doubt he would reuse his FS too, with Chopin 3.0 being his SP. I wish he came up with new SP and uses Seimei for FS instead. But it's Yuzuru, I have my faith that he will deliver.

 

[DorYiu]

We all know it's going to be Seimei.

I heard rumours about Yuzu's FS music was not confirmed :roll5: although it is unlikely at this point of time... ( one month and a half until autumn classic)
Maybe he have 2 options going on?
Maybe the music editing is still going on? (Well, that's for sure... )

I'm a bit out of the loop (off-season is my obligatory "let's cram my gazillion other hobbies into a couple of months" time of the year)... what's in two weeks?

There's going to be the usual open media day at TCC at the beginning of the month, so one assumes we'll learn what his FS will be for sure then.

It was a joke, but at the same time it's a possibility too since there was a rumour Seimei might be his FS around the time of the news about Chopin 3.0. There's no confirmation either way so, who knows? I'm expecting everything at this point.

Oh, right. That'll definitely be worth keeping an eye on then, thanks!
