The part of their commentary I find cringey is when they try to be poetic and venture into flights of fancy with their language and say things that aren't really skating-related. Those types of comments get really easily lost in translation and can be misinterpreted by non-English speakers.

I know what you mean about Kurt.  Several times he has said things that I knew just by comparison with his normal commentary had been written and were waiting for just some opportunity to be inserted into his comments.  They stuck out like the fabled sore thumb.  Beyond that, though, I have noticed he has real respect for Yuzu and while not a member of the GOAT chorus he has never dismissed Yuzu's achievement as anything less than consequential.  I remember one time when he remarked that Yuzu was the only person he knew who could have the audience absolutely riveted on him even when he's standing in the middle of the ice doing absolutely nothing.

Now that's interesting. I did not know he'd said that. Also, welcome back, @micaelis. I saw your post about your better-than-you-were-expecting health news.

I'm back!!!  And things are  not nearly as bad as I originally feared.  Ultra-sound of my heart showed a slight flaw in one part but the doctor said it was inconsequential.  The x-ray of my lungs showed nothing wrong there.  Worries about blood pressure were pretty much dismissed as while I did have sky-high blood pressure when transiting to the hospital once there the pressure was marginally high now and then but by and large I was landing in the good to very good parameters.  The extreme edema in my legs has been vanquished and I am now on a regimen to keep it from returning.  The one last major problem, my extreme weakness, has me now beginning what may be several weeks of intense rehabilitation.  Needless to say my spirits are immeasurably improved.

 

Next thing - really want to thank everyone for the many messages of support I see posted here.  I did not think I was that highly regarded here although I can say I have always tried to be of use to the Planet.  I realize that my writing and intellectual skills are very well-developed but like Yuzu I try to remain humble and to use them in order to contribute ideas and observations that I think will be of interest to others.  I have received a few personal messages over time by some thanking me but I need no thanks.  The Planet has been for me a means to reach out to others who share my intense admiration for that very remarkable human being - Yuzuru Hanyu.  And it has also been an invaluable resource to learn not only about Yuzu but figure skating in general.

 

 

@micaelis So glad your health is on the mend!  I enjoy reading your words and share your sentiments about Yuzu.  Please continue to share your thoughts on our Planet.
