Yuzuru Hanyu: 2018-2019

[LeeJiHye19]

There isn’t a JGP comp during that time?

No there isn't. JGP is in September 12 to 15

Then I really hope he does commentary for ACI

 

[TallyT]

They are of course streaming it and it's a pretty good stream actually. SC did nicely, adding commentators too, etc which shows they understand their audience. I remember when the SP was happening Yuzuru's group had 30k people watching. We'll have it again this season, who knows, Ted Barton may do commentary if we're lucky.

I'n not sure I can watch it but oh I am so looking forward to it (actually, I have no idea how you folks watching the Olys live survived both the run up to it and the actual skate, people's nerves must have been on an edge as sharp as Yuzu's blades...)

I would love to see what Ted say about Yuzuru.

JGP skips a week so it's 12-15th and then 26-29th. So technically speaking, it is possible. He did commentary during the Canadian nationals this past season, but two ladies did ACI. I'd love to hear him too.

Probably a good thing his Olympic skates happened at about 5am for me so I could decide not to try watching live, because i would have had to turn it off and hide (Actually I woke up at 5am anyway without needing to set an alarm :/ still hid)

we can do emoji reaction right? Just don’t write anything about it. So it might be or or

It sounds like a fun game we guess how each poster are feeling about his costume

 

[firal]

Wow, not even costume talk while the event is going? I read the new guidelines too and is very scared...don't want this particular place to be shut down! I bought the pass since I do participate in competition threads in the past and if time allows streaming live plus posting at the same time is quite fun. However I think many skating fans " snark" on his costume, no matter what they are/will be, just because they are never boring. I don't get offended and think it's part of the fun.

I am sure I will :luv17: :luv17: them both, I even learned - startlingly quickly - to :luv17: :luv17: Doryzu....

But if he is doing it all 'just for myself' and let's his inner blingmonster rip, the reactions all round the skating fandom should be fun

I was nervous for the Olympics, but I think I was just anxious to see Yuzu skate again even more than how nervous I felt. It just felt like a really long time since we'd seen him skate, and likewise it feels that way too for Autumn Classic so this time around I mostly feel excited for Autumn Classic. Let's face it, we didn't get enough of Yuzu's skating last season since he was half of it.

Might as well considering we can’t talk about anything from the comp until it’s all over
I wonder if I should buy the season pass to see non fans reactions. It’s always fun.

I survived the olympics live! I survived because I believed he is the best, and I still believe that. Believe in Yuzu and he will never let you down in the long run. [emoji6]

Well, I would be more tormented if I wasn't able to watch him live Actually, when I'm watching him-- online (in his very competitions), I think I am holding my breath. Because after his done I'm also very exhausted lol

I tend to close my eyes during the jumps. I get so nervous and anxious for him those moments. I need to calm myself. Lol

I also want to close my eyes but I ended up not doing it. I can't take my eyes off him look I think I prayed a lot instead

 

[hanyuufan5]

I don't even get nervous for my own public events/presentations, let alone other people's. I do occasionally shake with excitement, which others mistake for nervousness. It's not. It's the result of me trying not to jump up and down and squeal like a little girl whose parents just informed her of a surprise trip to Disneyland.

Now, if anyone tries to talk to me when Yuzu's on, I might or might not be able to refrain from screaming at them... but I always apologise profusely afterwards.

I screamed silently because I am the only figure skating fan in the family and of course a Hanyu fan lol

I get so scared to see him fall hard.

When I watched him live during the olympics, my hands were in Prayer mode [emoji120] the whole time Hanyu was skating.

 

[Imov]

I got into Yuzu after his Olympics performance, friends of mine were watching him live though.
The reactions were mixed from excitement to crying ugly (as they have said) after his skate over.
And another round of emotions after he was announced the winner.

I think fans will react to his performances more emotionally for every year he postpones his retirement. We will never know which season will be his last. We are all desperate to savor each and every moment for whilst he competes.
