General Yuzuru Chat

Didn’t he only pop one jump in the second half in Russia? Other mistake was on the landing of the 4S so he couldn’t do the combo on it but he added the 3T onto the axel but wasn’t able to put the 1Lo3S anywhere else (maybe at the end but his landing was so-so in that axel). So technically... he didn’t pop that many jumps in the second half, the errors in Russia were more due to lack of secure landing than anything. I expect that to be improved by NHK this week. 

 

Yeah, the fixing the second half is in general, pops and landings included. Mostly I just want him to get that damn 4T1Lo3S already!

I'm praying for a beautiful clean 4Lo this time...

I miss his majesty Quad Loop

I pray for clean quads this time, may he prove it is possible for him to land 5 quads in a long program.

I will be ok if these are just fully rotated quads even without perfect landings

The circumstances that allowed Yuzuru to get 330 with three quads is because he skated clean, TWICE back to  back. Recreating that to me is what the real challenge is. 350 is no joke, but its possibility extends beyond just skating clean especially now that the other men are getting higher GOEs BUT also going for difficult layouts that aren't easy. That said, I don't think it's entirely impossible. But this is the sort of thing that on paper sounds achievable but is a completely different matter. But just for fun:

 

SP: 115 (TES:66 PCs:49)

FS: 236 (TES: 138 PCs:98)

TSS: 351

 

 

I believe we will see these scores. I believe it with all my might!

If someone is capable of doing this it is him. I doubt others will come close to these scores even with PCS and GOE inflation.

Basically, Iron Klauss took what everybody knew about Yuzu- that, because he's lost his rink twice, lived through the earthquake, got a potentially career-ending injury, etc. he doesn't think that the things in life will come to you no matter what. That you need to be grateful even for the things that you would normally think have to be there for you no matter what. - and refered it to PC Gold... aka Yuzu might not get it even as a best in the World, so he takes care of his last moments as Olys champ right now...I just hope that IK keeps his expectation low so as not to jinx that gold.

Thinking of Yuzu's skin and his recent CMs, someone tell me why no skincare company has.sponsored him yet. Shiseido, Kose, I am dissappointed in you.

It would be really probleatic to do so, since he's already mentioned a few times that he doesn't care about his skin, it just ends up the way it is  I'm both and at this...Yuzu, can you share your skin with us?

 

Love the theoretical score discussion, even if it gives me a heart attack...as long as he go clean-ish and get all lvl4 so that Kuyashii vibe won't overwhelm the I did it vibe, I'll be satisfied. Ooookay, maybe one lvl3 to keep this kid from making things even harder...

 

Also, something I actually thought about right now- Lotte has more celebrities sponsored right? So, maybe the food director worry was about Yuzu, because the Celebrities he believed were able to cook messed up badly, and he feared that since that happened, what will happen with Hanyu-senshuu, who repeatably insisted he doesn't cook???

Life of Lotte employee has to be hard...

Iron Klaus is quoting Yuzu’s comment on how he feels towards life after experiencing the earthquake. What he means here is that things that make your everyday life are given to you by luck. They are all precious and fragile.

 

Quote from the original article on IOC website:

Quote

The skater, who hails from the Japanese city of Sendai, knows all about overcoming adversity. He was in the middle of a training session at the local ice rink when the town was struck by the devastating tsunami of March 2011. Surviving that catastrophic event helped to give him a fresh perspective on life.

 

“I often feel that the things you take for granted are not always certain in life,” he later reflected. “It all comes down to luck, and I feel that way because I almost lost everything. My values totally changed after the disaster, and my aim now is to make every single day, every practice session and every competition count.”

Determined to do something to help his local community, Hanyu has since used the royalties from his autobiography Blue Flames to rebuild the ice rink in Sendai.

 

 

ETA: Sorry, @Aotoshiro has already explained it!

Holly shit 351 lmao 

imagine to see 138 TES with 98 PCs Seimei performance. I think our planet hanyu will lose 3/4th of its population bc 3/4th of users here literally rest in pieces, including me lmao  

[bubbletea0712]

@Aotoshiro and @sweetwater Thank you very much!!

[SparkleSalad]

I’m sorry, I selfishly only left an ema from myself at SEIMEI Shrine today but at least it’s another prayer on the pile! I prayed for strength, health, happiness, and PC gold for him.   I saw @KatjaThera ‘s on behalf of he Planet and it was so lovely and shiny with that cute gold swan!

 

There were mostly Hanyu ones visible as far as I could tell, one even had Pooh tissue box pictures stuck on it which was so cute! I didn’t know if it was okay to take photos of other people’s boards so I just burned them into my mind.

I am ready to embrace this destiny

I just had a nightmare about NHK.

 

The gala was held in between the sp and fs so basically the day before the big competition. Yuzu wore a casual tshirt and jeans and everybody thought he'd do Change as his ex but he did seimei. Preparing for his last jump, he skated too close to the boards and missed it. He decided to slide on his hands and do a front flip then pose for the end. He had an apologetic cheeky grin on his face and Tracy watched from the boards applauding him, but I just went 'wtf was that?!'

 

Then on competition day since Yuzu did seimei the night before, he changed his FS to some obscure country song. He went on ice in a 18th century dress and folk danced on ice. I think not only me but the rest of the audience was horrified. Then he tried to do a back flip and fell, ripping the entire bodice of his dress. I couldn't watch after that because I was too embarrassed for him and it was an awful program.

 

So basically, this nightmare prepared me for NHK. I'm ready for anything...maybe.
