His particular hydroblade should be known as the Hanyublade. That it isn't already is an absolute scandolo!

There's a tiny one here but let's wait for @kaeryth to unleash her powers

 

 

And I think he did one at ACI?

 

 

 

 

I'm always amazed by how disciplined those little kids are. If he showed up at my rink, screw practice, I'd just skate to the side and stare at him practicing. It's so rare to watch a master at work in person.

Was wondering why the page count suddenly went up in a few hours when it's been really slow the past few days 

 

About the naming of a skating move after Yuzu, I've been thinking about that before, too. How did all the other skating moves get their names? How nice it must be to have a move named after you. Maybe we should just start calling one of Yuzu's iconic 'Yuzu' moves after him, then it'll stick  I personally think the side lunge pistol pose is a totally 'Yuzu' move. Maybe I'll call it the Hanyu lunge next time Doesn't matter whether he created it or not; after all, I think the layback Ina Bauer is widely called after Arakawa in Japan after Shizuka Arakawa popularized it. I really like the sound of Hanyublade too.

Hanyu Lunge is popular already I think? Maybe only on the internet, tho xD

Omg, the POTO terrorists are out in full force on Twitter, threatening me with him reusing it as an EX. 

 

I know everyone expects a best of this season but then

1. Why was David at TCC media day and

2. How is he going to fit into any of his old costumes? It would cost a fortune to order all new ones, right?

I am OK with POTO ex 

 

And I still wonder how new Chopin costume is too small and the old one is ok.

If he has to reuse it I hope he at least uses a new recording with someone who isn't painfully flat and horrible. I will quit otherwise.

 

I am getting more and more excited for CoR , now.

All of you satellites.. haven't you learned it by now.

The troll would probably use R&J 2.0 for his ex because he's superstitious and he didn't go clean with it during 2014 olympics.. 

I'm being sarcastic here... the boobskirt might come back... did I just jinx it..

Anyone know what happened to the senior men's short on SA's Dailymotion or where I can download it? Seems that Senior Men's free has been uploaded twice instead.

I went to Skate Canada's site and found the short program.  It's the shorter of the two labeled Men's Free Program.  It was simply mistitled.

Where can we vote to get the move renamed to Hanyublade?

Thing about these naming things is that it doesn't really work unless the move starts getting used beyond that one skater, and people still refer back to Yuzu.

 

Then people will be like, oh he's/she's doing a Hanyu Lunge or a Hanyublade etc. But since the hydroblade gives no marks thats really unlikely. And I don't recall anyone else doing the Hanyu Lunge? 

 

Sorry for pouring cold water on the dreams and excitation!

what about a spin variation? hanyu spin? im sure it would be beautiful

[micaelis]

Right now the only move I've seen that is truly unique to Yuzu is what has been called by others the 'Hanyu Lunge'.  I haven't seen any other skaters trying that.  A few have tried to do Bielmanns, none with any real success (I've seen a few where what they came up with was something that went up about 45 degrees, so that you weren't sure whether you were seeing an unsuccessful donut or an unsuccessful Bielmann).  If any skaters try a Hanyu Lunge it will almost certainly be recognized as his move which is why,  perhaps, none have tried it (not wishing to be seen as copycats).  I have noticed a number of males trying to do Bielmanns although I've only seen one do it successfully.   If enough male skaters start doing Bielmanns, perhaps they might start calling them Hanyus when a male skater does it, since he's almost certainly responsible for the men staring to do what is normally seen as a ladies' move.  I don't think they'll do any better than Yuzu, however, since he's been doing it since virtually day one.  There is that video of the nine-year old Yuzu doing an extremely good Bielmann near the end of his skate.  And I can't remember any of his programs since that don't include one (at least as far as his long programs are concerned).  Actually I think one might instead label a skater as doing a Hanyu whenever that skater sets a new record, since Yuzu's the only one who seems to be making them lately.

Thank you.  It seems my eyes were playing tricks on me.
