The best spinner in the world

She didn't even seem to know it was Yuzu LOL people are overreacting on her insta...

Hi all, I've moved the latest posts about Kozuka to the Hey, remember us? Thread! If you would like to continue that conversation, please head here:

Well whoever the national champion is, will go to both 4CC and Worlds I guess. And that could very well be Rika (& should be). SIGH, why aren't there more championship competitions? LOL.

BTW they once yelled at me for scraping their data. So lol. Pretty sure they scrape their data from ISU anyway? Just fyi in case you mention scraping or anything to them

Oh I forgot Yuna, she was lovely too ;_; btw moving this over to TJ thread

yeah tbh Japan's depth is greater than Russia's rn (although next year that might change), with 6 different ladies winning medals on the GP, and then there's also Marin who is a beautiful skater i wonder if they will send different skaters to Worlds and 4CC just to get them all more competition experience. like rika/satoko/kaori to Worlds and kaori/mai/wakaba to 4CC or something. although mako is also a shining talent, too bad about completely bombing CoR.

Aww poor Mai

*squeal* It's my nth time watching but I still squeal

Not just ten years. He's been skating for 20 years I'm not crying either. But how much beauty has he brought into the world in those 7 hours 19min and 7 seconds? It's immeasurable.

I've seen this over a year ago so I'd say it's really old.

i didn't want to watch it bc i don't want to cry but now i did and

Happy birthday, Yuzu! Picture of Yuzu from Sponichi, watercolor by me

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/02/22/sports/olympics/womens-figure-skating-jumps.html Really confused how they calculated the total base value from jumps for nathan and Yuzu in this? bc I tried to calculate it myself and it was nowhere near that, way higher (for both)?

OMG this is so cute I love it so much

I think having nice edgework is definitely possible for adults if you work hard, get coaching, spend time at it, etc....it's not like jumps where you need to literally rewire your self-preservation instincts which are one of your strongest instincts... but I imagine doing basic skating half as beautifully as Yuzu is gonna be near impossible for anyone even other top competitive figure skaters

Yusheng is the pronunciation of 羽生 in Mandarin. 羽 literally means feather A lot of chinese involves word play like that so I wouldn't be surprised if they did that on purpose XD

It's truly crazy how true the bolded is! You would NEVER have known before you started skating lol. It's like, do I care with millimeter precision where my hips are when I walk? Yet I can walk on the street avoiding cars and throngs of tourists just fine. Lol. Anyway, congrats on fixing blade/boot issues. It's nice when you realize there IS a problem, because at least you can fix it.

I've never heard about it being an accident...and looking at the gif it doesn't look accidental...

Honestly, I'm surprised those UA pants held up so well. That could be an ad for UA's durability. and of course: 139: For the hydroblade into the attitude leap. 140: For bringing back the delayed axel. ^Two brilliant feasts for your eyes. Just gorgeous (I'll come up with gifs if I can find them later. Because need. Pls help )

Thank you!! We got it
