Thanks for this. Listening to the program on radio is such a different experience. Also not a easy job for the commentator.

The commentator is Paul Wylie, he's a 1992 Olympic silver medalist so probably easier for him.
(tbh it's great to hear him as he almost died in 2015 from a sudden cardiac arrest even though he is not actually sick.)

Anyway, yes, it's so different yet really great. I loved every moment of it.
 
Couldn't stop laughing about this list :laugh2:

"Yuzuru Hanyu Top 10 enemy list:
(1 ) Yuzuru Hanyu
(2 ) Double Axel
(3 ) English
(4 ) Alcohol
(5 ) Judge 4
(6 ) Four Continents
(7 ) First GP of the season
(8 ) Silver medal
(9 ) Questions about his sexiness
(10) Media day"

I would definitely pick silver medals as #1 😂 . He literally put them on his nightstand next to him when he sleeps. Keep you friends close but your enemy closer 😅

They are never boring, are they? Even for shows - the collective gasp that met that first photo of Doryzu was hysterical (and I personally cannot wait for the, umm, more staid sections of skating fandom's reaction to Haru yo koi, though I shouldn't be surprised if that changes somewhat before the first competition gala)

So shall we play a game? First, what are everyone's favourite costumes - if you had to pick say three? Mine would be Etude (just edging out Hope&legacy for the most purely beautiful), Seimei (the most recent Olympic incarnation) and - never mind the critics - the silver/gold Phantom.

second, which do you think is most "only, only Yuzu?" For me, Requiem....

Favorites: PW 1, Seimei 1, phantom 2

Only Yuzu: The swan

Why is there alcohol on the enemy list, though? He doesn't drink it?

My favorites are 1. Seimei (either), 2. Hope and Legacy, and 3. this one is tough, but probably Let's Go Crazy (the purple version)

... whereas the Oly golds he stores in a sock! :rofl:

A bit of a non sequitor but that was one thing I noticed after the Olympics, all those official/celebration occasions like the press conferences and the parade... most people, if they had the two gold would have worn the two gold pretty much everywhere, but Yuzu just the one. Surely he didn't accidentally forget where he put Sochi?

I remember there was an event in which he wore both and there are some pictures but I can't remember which one was it. In events right after the Ganed, I have seen athletes wear the medal(s) they have won in those Games in Particular. I have seen athletes wear all the medals the have won in several Games in counted, very special occasions. Perhaps, since it was right after the 2018 Games, he saw more fit to just wear that one?
But don't worry, he has not lost his Sochi medal :laugh:

He wore both of them when visiting kids at a school that was finally open after the Earthquake/Tsunam. It has been closed this whole time. 🙂

Here is the pic of him with two OGM

{grin} he remembered which cupboard he put it in before then...

I imagine up to then the Japanese press were aching for a shot of him wearing both of them, from Pyeongchang right up to the morning of the People’s Honor Award. I do recall a clip of an interview with Nobu where he said he had tried them both on one at a time - Pyeongchang was heavier - and Nobu teased him mercilesslyabout it.
