Umebachi Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The OP reports on an interview with Mr Yoshida, the gentleman who has been polishing Yuzu's skate for over a decade (and also Nanami-sensei's husband). The interview was reported in the 20/21 Figure Skating Magazine (the following is my translation): "Recently, I noticed something while polishing his blades. I can no longer find scratches on the edges that I used to get all the time. In the past, I would always find deeper scratches in the same place, but for the past year or so, I have hardly seen any. Do you know what that means? When you practice, the blades get scratched from edge-to-edge collision. Most skaters show this, and Hanyu-kun used to be the same. But for the past year or so, I have not found any (on Hanyu's blades). I think he is now able to refine his control down to the tip of his foot and tip of his edge.... His skating skill has evolved even further." This post has been tagged by yuzuangel as [NEWS]. Link to comment

Au-delà de la notation injuste, il y a des problèmes de prédateurs sexuels qui s'échappent ou ne reçoivent pas le bannissement/la punition qu'ils méritent (la déclaration de Vanessa est juste construite sur des mensonges...), l'homophobie des entraîneurs et des commentateurs russes n'est pas abordée ou punie par l'ISU (absolument pitoyable ), et juste la faible durabilité de la carrière des athlètes en général (le patinage n'est plus la carrière de toute une vie qu'il était). Tout cela me fait juste penser qu'après la retraite de Yuzu, je ne suis vraiment pas sûr de continuer à regarder et c'est vraiment triste. Au-delà de Yuzu, j'aime les Japonaises, mais leur fédération ne leur offre pas vraiment le même niveau de soutien que les Russes (des scores gonflés à la maison peuvent signifier de meilleurs scores à l'étranger). Je revois les programmes de Yuzu en prévision du trophée NHK et je tombe de plus en plus amoureux de Heaven in Earth. J'aime tous les gestes subtils et surtout la façon dont la tension dans son corps se resserre et se détend avec la musique (surtout après les 4t-3s en deuxième mi-temps). J'aime aussi que Yuzu prenne vraiment soin de raconter une histoire avec son programme et j'ai l'impression qu'il était tellement dedans qu'il a dû prendre quelques secondes après son coup final. J'espère vraiment qu'il décrochera son 4A pour lui faire sentir que ce programme est terminé. Je suis aussi très excité de voir un nouveau SP ! Avec ses interviews de ces derniers temps, je ne pense pas qu'il considère qu'aller aux Jeux olympiques soit une chose importante pour lui, et honnêtement, je comprendrais s'il prenait sa retraite après les championnats du Japon dans le style de Machida s'il décrochait son 4A d'ici là (aussi navré que nous serions tous). Mais tout dépend de Yuzu. ALL : totalement d'accord par rapport à H and E et la 1ère fois que je l'ai admiré ( et à chaque fois aussi ) j'ai été " scotchée " par son regard à la fin , tellement dans son personnage et concentration et comme s'il était hypnotisé ..... et même après sa retraite , je continuerais a regarder le patinage et encourager Shoma et Yuma et mes Frenchis And I learned from YOU : the green "pajamas", yes exhausted / the Yuzu-style cellist (as talented as him) = we don't touch Mr / the attention of the Mr from Sendai who sharpens Yuzu's blades, which is like a fine wine that gains strength with age / ISU .... and here is a video with a title that says it all and here everyone knows it and this one in Yuzu which makes us laugh and, of course, the "famous" GPF of Marseille which is very bad at the presentation of "medals" hummmm and you are right to laugh Link to comment

DancingFeather Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Okay, I know I'm biased. Regarding White Legend: I thought the music in Yuzu's programs contribute a great deal for moving me to tears, but after Nam's performance, I see it's definitely the beauty of Yuzu and of his skating 2021 to White Legend that evokes that effect, not the music.

DancingFeather Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 By the way, after Nam's interview, I'm concerned to hear about the increasing number of skaters who went through / go through a really bad time for their mental health. It's good to hear they got help. Covid and the upcoming Olympics are taking their toll. (If my english wording isn't appropriate, it is unintentionally, please look over it.) Yuzu please, stay confident, healthy and happy in your lonely work cave! We are looking forward to seeing you, whatever you decide to skate. Link to comment

My first thought was scrub pants because of the color but the cut is all wrong and there's no drawstring. (And also why would Yuzu have scrubs?) Or has Yuzu started getting fancier with his off-ice sartorial choices - we wouldn't be fashion twins with all-black sweats/long sleeve shirt combos if we were on the same flight again? I think they are pajama pants - Link to comment
