I don't know what is the biggest clownery in this whole story:

 

1. The fact that Nathan beat Yuzu with +40 points in Torino.

2. The fact that JSF watched this travesty in silence without doing anything.

3. The fact that of all people it must be G***haguet who speaks up for Yuzu and questions JSF's sanity.

The ISU Skating Awards are scheduled for July 11.

 

"Japanese figure skating star Yuzuru Hanyu received two nominations for the inaugural International Skating Union (ISU) Skating Awards.

 

"The two-time Olympic champion earned a nomination in the most valuable skater category, which aims to reward athletes who increase the popularity of figure skating with their fan base and media attention.

 

"He was nominated alongside American rival Nathan Chen and French ice dance pair Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron.

 

"Hanyu's second nod came in the best costume category, with American free dancers Madison Chock and Evan Bates, plus Russia's Anna Shcherbakova."

 

https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1095737/isu-skating-awards-nominations

 

Given these criteria, if Yuzu does not win the most valuable skater category, there is something very odorous going on in the offices of the ISU.

Amazing how much work went into the costume!!

Regarding the “support all skaters equally” topic, I think there are people who do so, but I don’t think all figure skating fans should be obliged to do the same - after all this is sport and everyone will have their favourites!

I am half jokingly half seriously believe that they tried to measure how many people actually care about this award by publishing bio full of mistakes because the number of likes and retweets their tweets on the award get looks smaller compared to the number of likes and RTs their tweets about streaming of past competitions, or a tweet like this from Nekomasamune gets.

Rough Translation of his comment 

Quote

Hello, everyone who has come to see the Hanyu Yuzuru Online Exhibition. It is Kazuki Wakasugi from the photography department of the Yomiuri Shimbun Tokyo headquarters. Today, I am going to talk about this photograph. (Shows a picture of Yuzu on his knee after finishing his FS at GPF2019)

 

It is a photo of "Origin" during the men's free skate at the Grand Prix Final held in December last year, in Turin, Italy. He participated in GPF for the first time in 3years, and men's FS took place on his 25th birthday. After he finished his program kneeling down and throwing up his left hand, he fell facedown on the ice, as if to collapse. This is the moment he looked up, breathing hard and heavy.

 

He went into this free skate seeking to come from behind and win over Nathan Chen, who was leading after the short program by a rather large margin of 12.95 points, so, right from the beginning, I could feel his determination, or his energy so strongly even through the finder or the lens. My heart beat fast, and I got a bit terrified while watching him. It was a tremendous free skate.

 

That free skate was so tremendous that in my mind, I wanted to say, "Please, stop it! You've done enough!" When it comes to photographing Hanyu senshu, I am the kind of photographer who would want to present his comfortable or a gentle expression (t/n: see the note bellow) instead of a bit grim, or pained look like this. However, this moment in this photograph, I think, was something essential to the 2019-2020 season, so I asked (t/n: the curator) to include this photo in this exhibition.

 

But why did I feel that this moment was essential? He had won the two consecutive Olympic titles and had been demanded, expected to win as a matter of course. But he still wasn't satisfied with himself. He continued performing, giving every bit of himself to it, to reach even higher goals. He kept on fighting, putting all of his energy until finally, he became unable to get up on his feet. I think this expression appeared on his face because he went through that much. This expression also made me hopeful that I might be able to see him reaching a higher goal. When I saw this scene, I could not help but reflect on my whole life, wondering if I ever had put my all energy into something like that, until I become unable to get up in my feet. I think that free skate was something that could make others reflect and ponder on something by watching figure skating. After this men's free skate, I had to go to Stockholm, Sweden as soon as possible to cover the Nobel Prize Award Ceremonies. It's a shame that I wasn't able to see his expressions at the press conference, victory ceremony, and exhibition, but I think it was really fortunate to have been able to witness this free skate that was filled with determination, as well as this moment.

 

You can see other photographs taken during GPF in this exhibition. I hope you will enjoy them as well. Thank you for watching this video until the end. (Bows)

 

T/n: "I am the kind of photographer who would want to present his comfortable or a gentle expression"
This part is a rather free translation. Original says that he wants to show "涼しげな、優しげな表情" instead of a bit grim, or pained look here. 表情 means facial expression. 涼しい roughly means "cool in temperature," and 涼しげ roughly means something looks cool, refreshing, clean, etc. It is the opposite of warm, sweaty, and disheveled. 涼しげ is also used to describe someone's facial expression when someone is doing something difficult like nothing as if saying, "No sweat." When it is used to describe the beauty of someone's face itself, it means the face has something that reminds people of something cool, clear, and comfortable, such as clear cold water or cool breeze, etc. A face with long-slitted eyes and clear skin like Yuzu's are typical 涼しげ face to Japanese. However, he also looks 涼しげ when he lands 3A from difficult entry like nothing and goes into spread eagle or twizzle. Since I am not sure which 涼しげ Wakasugi san means here, and could not come up with English expressions suitable for conveying the nuance, I compromised with "comfortable." If you know any words can be used to translate 涼しげ, I would appreciate your advice.

Everyone knows we are one giant hive sharing only one single braince....WAIT! NOPE! That's the ISU+USFSA&Rusfed+Olychannel+NBC+IMG:4:

Trash lessons must really be in meager times, if they're baiting us so hard

I almost wish we truly were one Singular Fanyu and act as one body to just let Trash lesson slide into the obscurity they deserve.

But alas, we are not One Fanyu. Everyone chooses for themselves, so someone will still give them too much attention.

Anyway, a pity. Trash lessons have, sometimes, got some things right (like discussing some abuse cases, and it looks like they're talking about Nini too), but I just can't stomach them.

I suppose they feel the same towards fanyus, but we're not the ones who try to bait those we despise so we can make money out of their clicks:3:

LOL I saw that one too, it was brilliant!:laughing:

 

 

Anyway, we've been swallowing in the :angry_party: mood for one day too long :P  Let's talk about better things! :tumblr_inline_n18qrbDQJn1qid2nw: uplifting things!:tumblr_inline_n2pje2YFXq1qdlkyg:

I don't understand the Japanese, but the post in Chinese is about Yuzu getting the MVS award and winning 4cc, achieving the super slam, and breaking world records many times. The comments are just people commenting emojis of what looks like a microphone, it seems? Don't get it either hahaha

 

Oh about the prison thing, the name of the account who wrote that post seems to be the name of a prison. 

Edit: did some Googling and it seems that the account belongs to Chuanxi Prison in Sichuan province, China.

No clue haha, but regarding the "setting hearts on fire" thing, I looked up the post on Weibo and indeed, one of the comments say "is it because Yuzu sets hearts on fire?"  (芳心纵火犯) 

The literal translation would be "heart arsonist" but I think it means being a heartthrob! (not very familiar with this phrase, do correct me if I am wrong)

This makes me emotional, Japanese gymnast, Asuka Teramoto, chose "Origin" as music piece for her last program in the floor routine.

 

https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2020/07/15/kiji/20200715s00067000212000c.html

 

Asuka tore her Achilles' tendon in February but has been training for the competitions of this season and also aiming for Tokyo Olympics. She is a two time Olympian and two time national champion. She says she wants to end her competitive career with music of Origin and will save the program for the next season because she wants to show it at the very end. Good luck, Asuka! (I think I am going to cry when I see it because I have been watching her since she was very very young :smiley-sad021:)

 

By the way, I've read that when Kanako Murakami was learning gymnastics in her childhood, Asuka was one of her teammates. Small world!
