A dream collection Xylitol White costume with yellow frills is my new nightmare (after Aladdin Yuzu )
-
The boy that skated to "Origin" (I mean Art on Ice) as his SP here has won Jr Men's in Challenge Cup. Legacy lives on . Origin might not work for Yuzu anymore but still bring his junior luck

Precious everyday

Throw-back Sochi: (Caro hasn't retired yet but I doubt she'll come back sorry Caro ) What an amazing skate! I've always thought if Caro could land jumps more often she def could be a legend like Mao/Yuna/Kwan. She's prob the only single skater ever besides Yuzu that has excellent quality in every aspect of the sport: jump technique, skating skills, transition, interpretation/performance. It's also interesting how she isn't the strongest competitor yet she has the LONGEST career among ladies (14 seasons, any lady that stayed longer?) and even medalled in EVERY season that was UNBELIEVABLE .

Yuzu is the only one to ever put down a 4A<. I feel we can see it fully rotated next season. The attempt in GPF was cool. But you can see how dangerous the fall is and the risk of injury is high that it's necessary to be careful all the times. If it's only for points its just not worth it as its only 1pt higher than 4lz ( muchhhhh easier to cheat and land), so i dont see motivation from other skaters to do it. They have to take care of their scoring first. Only Yuzu has spare time and mind to work on it. Btw here is the only 4A attempt in comp so far: Correction: It's DOWNGRADED, not UR. The fall looks scaryyy. I cant imagine how many falls Yuzu must have before landing 4A. Hope his ankle can survive.

Whatever narrative can flow thru their mouths. Before they defended Evan Lysacek's title saying "Quad is not everything", now they got Nathan look how quickly they come up with new narrative
-
Only becuz Jason is American lol. They do dare to put him behind Nathan with 4 quads. They gave him 93PCs with 5 clean quads, NO fall/step out/hand down in GPF, Nathan got 95PCs. Judge's standard for you
-
Yeah I think he intended to open practice 4A at 4CC, but had prob with 4Lz hence he gave up that idea. We might see his effort at Worlds like in GPF who knows, depending on his SP's result.
-
He'll bring to any comp when it's ready. But I don't think he can do it now. Did Yuzu say he hasn't landed it yet? That the wall between him and 4A is still high? I doubt he can land it in 1 month + add it to the layout, realistically. Rmb when he first landed 4Lo or 4Lz in comps we had seen many successful trials in practice of previous comps. 4A's difficulty is like >>>>>> both of them. Pushing it just raises risk of injury. Yuzu understands that better than anyone hence he didn't solely focus on landing 4A at Worlds and just said smt like "Let's see how it goes..."
-
I think it's kinda underestimated how much of normal life has been deprived of from Yuzu after he became famous. This is just ONE example of exaggeration/distortion to the extent it became a false rumor that even reached him. And this is even before PC. Hope that these shitty tabloids have learned some manners now. Still sad thinking of how he never registered for fame from the start, just wanted to do best in his field, yet it can't be helped the closer he gets to his dream, the more personal happiness is taken from him.

This is hilarious=)))) Plus YT comment below I'm ded

The fact that no one has ever landed even just an UR 4A, even only in practice, speaks VOLUMES about its difficulty. I'm quite confident Yuzu is the only one right now that has a possibility with it and if he can do it, that achievement can last as long as his 2 OGMs. Boitano is just bitter as an American, nothing a surprise here.

Orser was a 2-time Olympic silver medalist, but after 30 years, his student took back 2 OGMs, one by one. What a badass revenge from Orser, must be very satisfied his student did him justice in the end!

Happy 2nd anniversary Javi's medal. He deserved it soooo much, meaningful medal for Javi and Spain too.

I just re-watched PC's victory and medal ceremonies and realize the feeling of that day still lingers in my heart. Like Yuzu said after winning PC, this kind of happiness will STAY and LAST and inspire ppl for a long long time. I felt a bit regret for missing Sochi but now feel so honored to survive PC and experience those unforgettable feelings myself. Now I recall it's still impossible to put into words my emotion thru the whole thing then. Just felt unreal/frozen/shaken all at the same time? I was sleepless before his SP and FS, but it all paid off I have absolutely no regret. It's good Olympic just happens every 4 years (that's why it's special!), otherwise I don't think I can survive this kind of heart attack . I still don't know how to cope with it if he actually goes to Beijing thou lol

I always wonder if Yuzu wont be around anymore, will there be so quickly many changes like this? ISU, a notoriously conservative organization, only decided on a new scoring system (IJS) to replace 6.0 becuz of a big ass scandal in 2002, NOT becuz they actively seeked for a change. And it took 2-3 years for the new system to be implemented. From last ss, after 14 years, a major change finally took place (+-5GOE), which no one asked for, but i could get they want some changes themselves now. HOWEVER, they are going to do a major change, again, which again, no one asks for, only 2 years after the latest change. That's so unlikely them, and makes the newly +-5GOE system just a complete joke, nothing but a proof of ISU's transition failure. Seems like they want to erase any records from this era, and last era, and these changes are just excuse to make the sport more manipulatable. I appreciate IJS, a good invention, but ISU mindset seems to be the same as 6.0 era, nothing has really changed.

Sad for Hanyan, 1 month to prepare cut off to 2 weeks. In recent interview, he was so hopeful and enjoyed skating back after achievement at CoC and 4CC. I hope his fed treats him better so he can skate as long as he wish.
-
A bit reminiscent, but back in the day when even IFS magazine wrote the name of JGPF Champion wrongly. I wonder if they used ggl translate: Yuzuru Hanyu => 譲羽生 . And it must be 羽生 (Hanyu) first, wrong order too
-
Look at his speed and flow into and out of the jump!!! If i can choose 1 point only to like about his jumps it must be the unmatched flow thru out ALL kinds of jumps. No one does it better
-
Heard much about this program but this is my first time watching. This is really.... eye opening Spoil: He even went to the audience seat Bonus: LMAO he skated it with Sasha recently I don't know what to think

Today is PC Chopin's day . Somehow Yuzu Olympic days are just consecutive it's like Xmas+ Thanksgiving+NY's eve for Fanyus to celebrate . Happy 2nd anniversary to this MASTERPIECE. Time to stream: Btw, Yuzu debuted Chopin + SEIMEI pair at 2nd season of last quad (He skated Chopin ealier but only when he paired it with SEIMEI did it start to go into form). And they've come back at 2nd season of this quad too. Is this fate? It's like he's traveled a circle, and finally goes back to where he found himself. I think this pair of programs are his true "origin".

It feels weird to me he's in coldness all the time yet his skin always glows too. He and Shoma were asked on TV if they used any skincare at all and both said no while laughing. I think it might be different if you sweat all day, everyday.
-
Perfect skin certified by specialists!!! A deserved award, but so jealous with his natural skin with 0 skincare. Like it's a God's gift, a perfect combination of genetics + life-long exercise to always keep it clean and moisture. Lack of either cant create this wonder.
