Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

:eeking: What monstrosity is this?? Ok, Yuzu, I’m sorry. I’m taking my criticism about your Dory costume back, it looked great.
 
Does anyone know, why that interview with Plushy has been deleted from the Olympic Channel? Because he mentioned the 4.5 rotations from Yuzu or his potential appearance in Beijing? Or did he say something crucial regarding the Russian ladies? :confused:

I miss it, what did he said?

:think: It could be? But I personally didn’t pick uo anything bad or controversial from that interview... (I admittedly wasn’t paying as much attention in that part though). I think the Channel will eventually reupload it so I guess we’ll be able to know then.
 
I miss it, what did he said?

He talked about Yuzu's completeness as a skater and how he is the best and how he is his favorite. He loves Yuzu's jumps (in terms of great quality), spins, choreography. He mentioned how other skaters may just have the jumps but not the choreography. He also mentioned the evolution of quads and how in Vancouver he was the only one that did one (though I'm pretty sure Daisuke went for it but he might have fallen) but guys are jumping them all now, like Chen. He thinks Yuzu can do the 4a and knows he was working on it before PC. He thinks Yuzu is from another planet and thinks he could be in Beijing and possibly win it. But he at least thinks Yuzu is going to strive for it. Did I miss anything?

Also, I checked and no Plushenko wasn't the only one doing quads in Vancouver. Evan was just able to win despite not having one: http://www.isuresults.com/results/owg2010/owg10_Men_FS_Scores.pdf - and looking at this, Lambiel tried for more quads. Plushy should have done a second toe instead of a 2A like he was able to do in the prior Olys.

And for the Beijing talk, I just think Plushy is being enthusiastic. He probably sees a lot of himself in Yuzu when it comes to competitive drive and let's not forget they are the same ages for their Olympic cycles. Plushy was 19 in 2002 (OSM), 23 in 2006 (OGM), 27 in 2010 (OSM), 31 in 2014 (Team Gold, but could have had a singles OBM with no team event if he got anything close to his team score).
