I was curious where my previous post got it from so I looked for it. And hey it's been subbed already? Haha I hadn't realised! Maybe I'm just slow, but was this shared already?? So many cool details! Like the feather on his black skates, how Misha helped with it etc.

Yuzu thanking the ice....... and also thinking in some corner of his mind that his fans are probably going to Photoshop him into an epic photo!

I completely, honestly completely (!!) understand the feelings of wanting Yuzu to do well to the point of hoping that others don't do well. But I hope that we can try to rise above such reflex emotions. It's an understandable feeling, but I hope we can try to be better than that, beccause it's hardly an admirable way to think or feel. Yuzu himself says what he wants is for everyone to skate clean, and then for himself to skate clean and WIN. Yuzu wants everyone to be skating their best. As a figure skating fan, I want to see everyone skating well, and to see beautiful programmes. If someone beats Yuzu and he deserves too, all congratulations to him. (But of course the problem is the judging... let's not go down that tiresome rabbit hole again)

http://the-real-xmonster.tumblr.com/post/173068601884/omg-im-obsessed-with-the-back-counter-into-flyang Another lovely gem from Alice about Yuzuru's flying camel spin, and his amazing back counter into flying camel spin from CiONTU!

the little hint of a smile Yuzu gives right at the end oddly enough makes it even more terrifying for me?? it looks... like an evil smirk....

Is there any other skater that is ALWAYS on the podium? Shoma maybe?

I see where you're coming from. But I would like to point out one minor thing. Coming from your own view that the major factor is Yuzu's inconsistency, I would then submit that even if he wins a third OGM in Beijing, it would not necessarily say anything about his consistency, and hence about him being the GOAT. What if he loses every competition between here and Beijing but then claims gold in Beijing? His "inconsistency" factor would still stand. If your main argument is for "consistency" then what you are essentially asking for him to have to be considered GOAT is for him to rule every single competition he is in, not about claiming another OGM. Which is a fair enough perspective for the admittedly subjective title of GOAT, but I just thought I would point that minor thing out. But also would like to point out that "inconsistent" for Yuzuru Hanyu is a silver. His "bad scores" are better than almost everyone elses "best scores". When he's "perfect" he doesn't just beat others, he decimates them. When he's done okay, others need to have done perfect to beat him. Almost always, its not that others beat him, its that he looses to them. Just the fact that he is held up to that higher standard is already indicative of him being on a higher level than everyone currently. Just my little thoughts

Hey yeah lets increase the difficulty even on this move that isn't really going to give me extra marks because REASONS

well... it would be the most magnificant troll... he doesn't just do a recycle... or just a warhorse.... noooooooo the King of Extra does a RECYCLED WARHORSE!!!!

My hopes/guesses: SP: either jazz or rock FS: something asian inspired, but still powerful and strong. **But watch him pull out more instead....

i failed just from looking at the thumbnail....

OT, but I was browsing twitter and saw this tweet in context of the mess that was Mens Worlds FS Idk, it just made me laugh!

This might be slightly mean but....

Not going to lie, reading that part "After the show, Hanyu commented on next season's Grand Prix of Figure Skating, saying, "I want to appear in as many contests as possible, and do my own performances," indicating his intention to take part in tournaments from the start of next season." had me buzzing at the edge of my seat, heart rate increasing and anticipation rising!! oh god can't it just be like next season already?????

Haha you mentioning english and Oly's interview reminded me of this gem that we're all familiar with by now! : His face had and has me Definitely better (the recent CiONTU insta where he was talking to all his "hero's" in the circle was so heartwarming!! ) but LOL he definitely still isn't comfortable with it!!

Ah right right! I remember now! Thankqwe!

Well they are both Canadian, but not sure if they do live there. But also not sure if that's related to working on rehab and choreo. They defo aren't involved in his rehab, and we haven't gotten any clues about anything to do with his next season choreo.

I feel like I missed something. What emperors party??

@SparkleSalad I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE YOU SNEAKY THING!!!

I volunteer to officiate the ceremony!

(We are supposed to be celebrating and welcoming our new members, why are we scary them with such hard-core content as bald Yuzu on their first day? ) We promise new friends! He doesn't always look like that!! You weren't tricked I promise!!

Well. They aren't wrong. Anyone could see this outcome coming a mile away. Even if it wasn't also objectively true, he is the most popular figure skater in the world so.... The only way they stood a chance of a decent close competition + without pissing satellites off would have been not including Yuzu in the poll but writing something like (so... besides the obvious King, what is the best SP/FS of this season?) But that would never happen lol.
