All those efforts and still Yuzu was the one dominating a poll on which men's singles at the Olympic left the deepest impression on the public.

 

For the record

- Yuzu: 75.2%

- Yuma: 10.3%

- Nate: 5.4%

- Shoma: 4.2%

 

Stay mad, Yuzu antis and pet stannies.

 

 

 

HOW IS THE GOLD MEDALIST RANKED LOWER THAN THE SILVER MEDALIST 
granted i assume this poll was taken in Japan so it makes sense

Sigh ... hearing this music it feels like yesterday that Yuzu turned my family's life upside down. I guess it's time for watching "Onmyoji" again. After Pyeong Chang Olympics my teenage daughter had insisted to watch the movie and it turned out to be a good idea for understanding the character Yuzu portrayed. However, it's amazing, how energetic and expressive Yuzu skated this step sequence at the Beijing practice rink. 

Me too! And if I recall correctly, Yuzu had a deep conversation with Nomura Mansai, the actor who played Abe no Seimei in "Onmyoji". That conversation offered new insights into Yuzu's SEIMEI. He even invited Nomura Mansai to watch him practice and give suggestions afterwards. SEIMEI is life. It thrills me every time. 😢

 

(The interview...Sorry if this video has been posted before...)

 

(Oh and perhaps this one, the making of SEIMEI...)

The one who came in 4th pretty much crushed the medallists, that's the only thing I care about LOL.

 

As for your question, who knows? Poll taken in Japan, younger blood, higher skating quality, stronger PR, and yada yada yada. The reasons are endless I suppose.

Good to know I'm not only one who revisited PC18 and Sochi today :YuzuPoohLove:  

(Although Seimei 2015 was skated better, 2018 is such a treat, he is soooooooo happy). 

Thank you for posting the interview @eren, and thank you so much for your guides @Henni147!! When I first came to know FS I used to watch a lot of Yuna and Mao's video guides because their technique were top notch, then V/M, but I only took an interest in Yuzu around 2014 and I remember how difficult and sloppy Men's looked (the new blood always pushing for jumps!), although we used to argue that mistakes were not called as often and GOEs were very generous... then Yuzu perfected everything and he became THE textbook. Beautiful to watch, I noticed while rewatching his stuff today that I'm always looking at his feet lol 

 

I talked with my friend from Japan this weekend and asked her about the coverage of the Olys, and she confirmed my suspicion that people didn't seem particularly engaged with the event this time. She said people at work were hyped for the women curling team and Yuzu is already a household name regardless, but she didn't see much coverage of anything else. Anyone else in Japan can confirm or deny this (since we are both pretty biased lol)? Both a shame (bc Olys are supposed to be a great time) but also, lmao, schadenfreude, if it's true.

There will be a final summary thread with some comments later, but I got tired, so I will stop the work for today.

I hope you like it anyways :10636614:

 

If there's one thing that I learned from Yuzu, it's to keep my promises. So here is the promised summary thread  :winky:
