"his ss isn't that great"

Mind in the gutter, legit read "his ass isn't that great" and i started thinking "what does it have to do with his skating..."

Oh,  I more meant those who hadn't really followed him closely these four years. Like, their last clear memory and impression of him is of that cute fluffy Pooh-hugging kid who did great in the SP and won it all to become the second youngest Oly champ ever. Imagine their surprise when they tune in in February and find this awe-inspiring thing with the "I'm gonna kill everyone dead" aura in his place instead.

But still hugging pooh

Prepare yourself for the Swan! 

The only thing I'm bitter about in that silver (I'm so shallow tbh :D) is that he doesn't get an encore, so we don't know what is that gonna be? Polish Swan? Parisienne Swan? Crazy Swan? SEIMEI Swan?

 

Oh, another thing to do to pass the time! Predictions to the next part of the 'The best of Yuzuru vol.2' album! Is he going to keep the Swan for the rest of the season? Or is he going for the same route as 13/14??? To Be Continued!

Encores are Japanese things only, I believe? I don't think any other competition has them. 

I am not ready for no Swan SEIMEI...

Now his ass is something that the haters can't deny.

I don't engage in wars. It's tiring and you can never convince people of what they don't want to see. And, then you stress yourself out. Not healthy.

 

When the performances are done, if Yuzu is clean in both programs, he will win. I believe this... but he has to hit, and hit it all, just like he did at Helsinki....without having to play catch up from the sp.

Putting good comments without interact haters is a great way to make the atmosphere better. I encourage everyone doing so...

 

Love all the posts about parents watching SEIMEI and thought he was awesome and different from others!

You can scream that from the hilltops, sister.

I'm already tired of those comments whenever I say my fave Yuzu. It's always the same "he falls a lot" or "he don't do a lot of quads" or "his ss isn't that great" and my most dispised one is "he is overrated".   

I immediately know where each one comes from....the propaganda...

tbh, last season he was a pop star, I am interesting to see the average number of falls among all men...

i actually just made some tables on the amount of clean programs there were last season from the top six men across senior b, gp's, gpf, euro, 4cc, worlds and wtt and it was honestly embarrassing. consistency does not exist, unless you mean consistently falling or popping or stepping out of your jumps. yuzu's lack of consistency is commented upon more because of having a higher profile, being wr holder, world champ, oly champ, but they're all honestly as bad as each other  

 

sucks that its being pushed so much this season though, but who is yuzu if he isnt able to fight anything that comes up against him? 

Yes for coach cam! Here you've got Brian AND Stephane..

 

 

stéphane cheering on yuzu in the background ; u ;

4Lz in the newspaper.. (It DOES have a delayed rotation... 4LZ baby is as extra as it;s owner)

My friends are writing a draft to be shared, this is one part of their big post:

---------

Figure skating reporters love being consistent with their selective memories and making a big deal of Hanyu's performance as if they expect him to be an Alien Skater who breaks World Records all the time. So every time Yuzuru Hanyu shows us he is just human, they trash him like his time has ended, that he does not deserve to win big titles anymore. They keep acting like Hanyu being human aka making mistakes means the end of his career. This silver at Cup of Russia 2017 is just normal for Yuzuru's pattern as he has never won this first GP of each season in 8 years. Hanyu's first GP total scores have been: 
2012 - 243.74 (2nd)
2013 - 234.80(2nd)
2014 - 237.55(2nd)
2015 - 259.54(2nd)
2016 - 263.06(2nd)
2017 - 290.77(2nd) 
In fact, whatever Hanyu did at Cup of Russia have been the best performances Hanyu ever showed at the first Grand Prix competition of any season. Most Hanyu's fans know that as the season goes, he will do much better and better as he reaches his peak. But of course, figure skating "professional reporters" love painting us as the "panicked fans who think Hanyu's career might be done."

The North American media keeps trashing Hanyu for his "inconsistency", that it has been a long time Hanyu has not skate clean back-to-back.

Then, what is "skating clean, back-to-back?"  It is when a skater is essentially PERFECT in both the short program and the long program with NO negative GOEs, no popped jumps, no step-outs, no turn-outs, etc.... 

When was the last time a top male skater had clean back-to-back performances in an INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION, that is ACKNOWLEDGED BY ISU, technically CLEAN and WITHOUT mistakes (all positive GOE, no popped jumps, no step-outs, no wrong edges, no turn-outs, no eked-out etc.)?  IT WAS AT GPF 2015, by Yuzuru Hanyu. NOT BY ANYONE ELSE. Yes, it was such a LOOOONG time ago so NBC, Icenetwork as well as other US reporters have to remind Hanyu that they need him to skate clean back to back again because no other skater has archived the same. 

Proof? Go look at the protocol of the men skating for 4 years to see if you ever see any scoresheet like this: http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1516/gpf1516/gpf1516_Men_SP_Scores.pdf
and this http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1516/gpf1516/gpf1516_Men_FS_Scores.pdf

Repeat after me: NO negative GOE, not even small mistakes like step-outs, wrong edges, turn-outs, eked-out...

I guess you love Hanyu's skating cleanly so much to attack him for his "inconsistency".

Our prayer to have Brian dedicated fancam was answered !  

It's a wonder how my wifi can support a livestream and YouTube yesterday, yet can't access Google and the planet... But finally I can access the planet again! Hay, Yuzu's second. I have so much to say earlier but now that I have calmed down, all I can say is it wasn't a bad skate after all. He landed the 4lz!! Though it had an iffy landing, he still landed it. And he actually beat Nathan on the free!! That's not bad for so early in the season. I'm upset (not as upset earlier) yet I'm calm about this. I know Yuzu and his team now know what they needed to work on. And believe me with all the kuyashii Yuzu might be feeling right now, PChiddy should be praying for his soul.

I'm sorry for ranting but the summary of it all is that Yuzu landed 4lz, he won the free and that's not a bad second pancake! 😉 And to us satellites, that's what really matters!!
