Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

[xeyra]

I want him to replace it with ANY OTHER SPIN. Please! Other than that, the program is perfect.

He's attached to the butt spin, sadly. I mean, it looked great in LGC purple pants but that's not particularly related to the spin itself. Err. I'll see myself out now.

I'm mad again @spanish press. I don't know what Yuzu did to them, but they always have to say nonsenses. In this article, http://www.marca.com/deportes-invierno/2017/09/23/59c6249746163f95278b456d.html
The writer says that Yuzu needs more expressiveness. The author this night wrote some tweets about Yuzu saying that he doesn't transmit anything and he had to erase them because people complained... Really I wish they stick with football.

In this sport we are all biased one way or another. But at least he called him sublime, noticed the Rippon combo, and said his elements were perfect

:shame:

Oh well... Nobody's perfect.

An update on the knee situation on this article by Beverly Smith. Good news!
https://bevsmithwrites.wordpress.com/2017/09/23/yuzuru-hanyu-the-maestro/

Hanyu left out his quad loop – he became the first to land one in competition last season – because “he was just feeling a little bit of pain in his

knee,” Orser said. “It wasn’t one particular thing that made him go ouch. It just started to gradually get a little achy.”

After a little discussion at home, Hanyu decided to drop the loop for the moment, instead of pushing it. If not, he could have developed a more serious problem with his knee that would have been difficult to correct all season. They were smart. They stopped the nag. Orser said by the time he competed the short program on Friday, he actually was in no pain.​

In all honesty, only Sandhu, the creator of the butt spin, should EVER perform the butt spin.

LOL. It's Chopin. You aren't going to go all Carmen with Chopin. he did it perfectly, imho.

Butt spin is actually considered quite difficult as it's not easy to tell the direction when your head is upside down. I can understand why some skaters still do it as it counts.
Having said that, I support banning the butt spin.

It seems he did not practice many jumps other than the run-through.

3A, 4T1Lo3S, 2T, 3T, 4S2T,3Lo(?), 3Lz, 3A2T(tano, beautiful),3A

Yomiuri newspaper this morning, it says "The new costume was not made in time (for this competition) and he performed in the costume from 2 seasons ago".

looks like he finally learned how to do run trough without trying all the jumps :thumbsup:

I agree with him/her.

Haven't posted here in a long time. I have to say I was really disappointed when I heard he was repeating his Chopin SP since it's the third time! However he did skate it wonderfully at Autumn classic and I love the attention to the music especially in the spins, and the timing of the 4T-3T. Do hope to see a new costume though.

For some reason I think his jumps are even more effortless now than before. I'm so used to see Hanyu attack his jumps, but now it seems like although he has little speed and preparation he's still able to land all those quads and 3A. He really has stellar jumping technique. Looking forward to the LP.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/km9hFkg5BqXi6qoKpL6 It might just be me, but I've wanted to see Yuzu's record SP in proper High Def and High FPS, so thankfully, it was aired on TV last night as well as commentary from Kozuka.
Yay!

EDIT: Oops sorry, that was a different news clip, this is it. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k6vmP1BWhE4c5doKp6g

He is planning to have a new costume but he used old one in this competition. When he wore the old costume, he noticed the change of physique. He has gained more muscles on the chest since 2 years ago and he felt a little tight. He also got 2cm taller.

oh Ewww it's Marca, yeah they need to just stick with writing about Cristiano and Real Madrid articles since that's all they care about anyway. meh:yawn: (not that they know much about football either if you read some of their articles/headlines *coughs* trashsportsperiodical *coughs*)

Tough day for the fs, but it looks like he knows what happened with him talking to Tracy non-stop in the kiss and cry. Hopefully we'll hear his words soon.

New lessons learned for sure again, rest well boy!
