Yuzuru Hanyu: 2019-2021

Yes, Oda has once said that hydroblading itself is difficult but doing it in the latter part of the program like Yuzuru is even more difficult. (Shizuka said in the video, "I can't stand up!")

And Miki's rather adorable efforts how how NOT effortless it is.

And should he choose that path, he will make quite the coach :laugh:

It is indeed part of the choreography. The hydroblade in different programs are all diffferent to suit the mood of each program. I would love to see a compilation of them in all the programs.
 
I'm so glad they showed that, not only because it was adorable but because now I know that being able to do really, really low shoot-the-ducks helps with hydroblading. Thanks, Coach Yuzu! I know what I'll be doing for my off-ice practice today!

Hi Yuzu fans!

In this podcast with the ice dancer Lilah Fear, Jason describes what it is like to watch Yuzu train:

(around the 40 minute mark, sorry, did not mark exactly).

Jason compares him to Michael Jordan. He's not wrong.:)

Thank you for sharing this :) Good to hear that Jason sounds very cheerful through the interview and I am hoping that he will come to Japan for ice shows next year.

Q: What do you like about figure skating?
A: I like that it is very beautiful. In actual truth, I simply adore Yuzuru Hanyu.

Q: He is cosmic in general.
A: I can't, I just get goosebumps. There is even a program which I saved on my phone. Re-watched it 10 times, if not more. It impresses me so much not because he landed all of his jumps, but because he did everything so musically. It's simply impossible to watch, in a good sense. He is so amazing and truly a figure skater from another planet. That was his short program to Raul Di Blasio's Otonal.
 
Tell me about it... :ghug:

(do you want me to delete this too?)

No, it's OK. I deleted the first post because I had added more things to it. I tend to regret saying things that might upset others so preferred to delete it. I was actually looking for a way to close my account here but couldn't find any. Here, having Yuzu in your avatar is equal to being labeled as "crazy Hanyu fan". I can't bear this behavior. Let me see if I can find out how to close this account.

Please don't - I know I have been tempted to leave more than once because of the same thing, but we here would miss you!

But don't you feel unsafe even here? I deleted my post because I thought people could see it anyways and would drag discussion here which is not appropriate.

Sometimes, I do admit it. I think this is also why some Yuzuru fans have already left or feel reluctant to post on any thread. I also suspect some of the 'lumping us all in together' has to do with the fact that other fans resent and would like to ignore that it is only a lunatic fringe, no bigger a percentage of the whole than Chen's or Shoma's or any of the Russian girls... but that Yuzu is so popular worldwide that the lunatic fringe is actually bigger than the whole fandom for most of them.

But at least just take a break and think about it.

Completely agree with what you are saying. But, when people quote me, then delete the sentences they don't like, keep sentences that they like and use it to establish their superiority and feel good about themselves, I loose the strength to discuss or argue. Do they think I am that stupid to not see through these little tricks? Then, I get angry with myself that by replying to GS forum allowed them to treat me as a stupid.

I guess, at least, I'll ban myself from replying to any other thread and stay just here.
