us media: our skaters have balletic ankles, Nureyev's lines true ballet dancers: we're so inspired by yuzu's extraordinary artistry that we had to pay tribute to him
-
unfortunately this isn't the question many people are considering anymore for this sport she's usa's new answer to the russian skaters with a 3a and 4ltz under her belt

Yuzu's heart-shaped smile and crescent eyes has that ability to cure any sadness. They're just so genuine and heartwarming. i'm just glad to see how happy he seems here. maybe he's had a great practice? and I know that's Alysa's default smile but that would totally be me if I ever got a chance to take picture with him (though this is how i usually smile )

Im so thrilled about Rika's potential fs layout simply because I know if she could be clean it will be magical. She isnt just a jumper. She has so much development throughout the 18/19 season. This layout might be the only way to fight against the 2 quads and no triple axel layouts of Sasha or Anna. Rika really needs mental strength and because I know she has solid triples and stable 3a. She just needs to believe she can do it. and one of the reasons why she is less consistent than the top russian skaters is because she doesnt prerotate or underrotate like they do someone calculated the best possible layout for her If she pops the 4s to 3s, she can solo the 3a to do 3a3t* and 3Lz2T* in the 2nd half

Today Olympic Channel...haha This is exactly why I feel like if we cant change ISU through our rants, we can still make an influence through our love and support for Yuzu. This is why I like almost every single comment that supports yuzu on twitter on this Olympic page. Yeah i know they tend to use Yuzu as clickbait materials. but sometimes they also give us exclusive contents about Yuzu..Just like Laureus account that gave us Yuzu's message and received 11k likes. It's a win win situation ๐ so I hope through our support via social media we show ISU that Yuzu is above this sport.

LOL I think this person wanted to impress Yuzu
-
Why would Yuzu need to wear anything expensive when he is made of gold? hehe he gives value to the things he owns Boyang did hydroblading
-
US media is shook
-
Balletic antennas
-
exactly. I agree especially LGC's speed was out of this world. i always had to slow down when making gifs. also honorable mentions to requiem and notte stellata. and tbf, all of Yuzu's spins are really creative and purposeful. i even love that final spin in haru yo koi when he changed the spin three times to match the three final glissando (if i use this word right)
-
yes! and I saw your comment in there too! I also commented and i think listing out reasons why we choose his is better so people dont think we just blindly pick his bc we are his fans..and well hello we are fans for a reason too. anyway, even Alice from real x monster called it the Hanyu/Yuzu spin because its pretty much hasnt done before. I have been calling it that since and I think the only other person doing it is Daniel Grassl, and we all know who he got that from
-
Should we start a thread be like Jack Ghallagher? loll Today Olympic Channel
-
i love how this alien story all came together. from him always having that 1 flying air to other people calling him an alien, Max setting the Planet Hanyu trend, to Yuzu actually owning this habit
-
this would make a great exhibition piece
-
Happy Hanyu Planniversary! Such a joy to see the growth of this forum. Thank you admins and members for creating such a wonderful platform for satellites to spread the resources and love for Yuzu here.
-
submitted! Thank you for doing this again! Has this been advertised in the Yuzu chat?

watching this part around 10:40 where the interviewer said to Scott "you hate to lose. you're in it to win it. i know you like to dance but you like to win." and Scott said "tbh its just nice when somebody says that because its funny how people dont understand that if we're coming back to enjoy ourselves and we're coming back for the sport, for the love of the sport, they think thats separate from winning. in my mind thats not really it. we have the most fun when we're winning." Sounds like that with our boy, doesnt it? somehow, after watching this i relate it back to yuzu's programs this season and find a new meaning to the theme of origin. when he came back after PC, all of us werent sure of his sole motivation for staying, and i think at that point, from what we know from his interview, he was also asking himself the same question. while the act of continuing after pyeongchang could have many meanings to it, such as that he simply loved skating, felt competitive enough, wanted to finish any unresolved businesses like fulfilling his teacher's words that he would attempt the 4axel in his generation and tributing to his heroes, the most obvious motivation that didnt seem so obvious at that time was to keep winning. thinking back, after he announced about origin and otonal and explained his reasons for doing these programs, i felt as if this could be his last season. I guess thats because the idea of skating for himself seemed too much of a leisure, which lacked a sense of competitiveness. And this idea didnt just come without justifications. Yuzu had said he wanted to go back to experience the feelings of why he started skating. He said he would not focus on the scores. This was evident by the fact that he put all his jumps in the first half for the short at ACI. But what happened? It took Yuzu one competition, even after having won and that it being his first competition, for all of us and Yuzu to learn that "skating for himself" obviously didnt project such meaning. At that time I was a bit worried seeing how kuyashii he was over a minor competition where he actually won. but now it actually encourages me because that is what origin really about and should be about. while these programs are tributes, only until they were skated from a place for himself that could project the true meaning behind Origin. Because skating for himself means skating from a place to achieve the highest victory, and when he could achieve this, it reminds him of why he loves figure skating, why he started skating, and why he continues to skate. That motivation to win, to accumulate more happiness of being able to win -- not just for the medals -- is the foundational driver for staying. im glad that he has come to term with this early enough so that whatever he is working toward for the next seasons will be clear and no time wasted. I look forward to see what we will see more from him. Hearing what Scott said and knowing how they ended up winning the Olympics have given me hope.

Comparison videos and articles
makebelieveup replied to Old Cat Lady's topic in Knickknacks: General Skating Chat
the 5t -- is it me or i cant see where he picked? that look like an almost full blade assistance with at least 180 degrees prerotatation? im not very good at this so can someone help me out here. ETA: i see in the comment sections, people are saying it's just 4.5 rotations and some said it could be an axe.l but i dont think someone who can do a quad can necessarily do a triple axel. they're two different jumps. it actually makes me think if yuzu can land a quad axel, other skaters will start doing quints. -
this reply got me tho ๐๐๐
-
I agree and it might take more time to wait to get responses from other public figures. I find that we can compile what has already been said about yuzu by them as a separate section? @Veveco this idea was suggested in one of your original summaries, right? if so I can start keeping a compilation. Just let me know

its nice seeing patrick's growth and his words moved me. even if ur not a fan of him, you have to admit he was a great skater and his loss was something thats hard to take if i were him. But i guess he now realizes losing to a 2x ogm isnt bad after all

Planet uses GoFundMe. Would this be a good site to use? I've never used it
