Of course not, Yuzuru Hanyu will NOT be remembered for having landed the first UR 4A! He will be remembered for having landed a perfect, magnificent, celestial, light, fluffy, smooshy 4A... oh God I want it now... 

We're so excited we haven't come up with a proper song yet.

Last year was "One Day More" -what should we do this year?

Good news is I'm enjoying a lot of what I'm seeing from the FS choreography!

Bad news is his jumps axis needs work.

Look what's back? Spread eagle - back counter- 3A-2T 

 

@MrPudding you say his entry to 3A is simple.. And yuzu give us this.. both 3A with difficult entries. 😂 

 

Eta.  Oopps my mistake, I'm gonna edit but mistakenly push the wrong button

That was before the gave us footage of the layback IB before it.

 

This is all feels so special, like those first Olympic practices (before we knew about the ankle pain.) It’s like we can all go back to just enjoying his skating, too. I feel so relieved and happy and calm. 

 

Welp, I’m still crying. Bring on day 2!

Guys, I think someone posted the three original songs that were edited into Tribute to Nijinsky earlier in this thread but I can't find them now. Can anyone link to them again? Thanks!

I like the footwork. Think he's improved his twizzles. XD Remember how I said he had a side of twizzles that was visibly slower? It's improved....it's slower than  his strongest, but way way faster than last season's.

 

And his jumps look okay from what I'm seeing? He's a bit forward on landing, but not so tilted that he can't control it. It looks more like where I'd expect them to be, if he's only gone back to full jump training for 2 weeks (which given his recovery period makes sense).

I'm totally blubbing because he's doing what makes him happy and honestly that just makes me so much happier than his OGM.

This year he didn't give us an advance notice! We didn't have time to prepare! He just dropped the bomb!! 

Mmmh should we do a song about 4A?

They look all right to me too

Just a tad forward in the air, and the only one I'm spotting is the 4S3T below, and the 4TLo3S that some video had before? But that's it. His 3Lo looks easy.

 

Edit: in case it hasn't been hammered in enough, I love all the little leaps and jumps that have similiarities to ballet jumps, just woven into the choreography. It really does feel like a tribute to ballet's contribution to FS. It's just little little stuff liek this, so frequently seen in his programs, that make his programs stand out.

Yeah, my assumption on Media Day is that he invents a layout especially for Media day, that is loosely connected to his actual competition layout, and it's more connected to his current abilities, his current rehabilitation step, and the fact that he wants to show a complete program, so he will not insert elements that are still unstable - but only elements that he can jump pretty easily and not in top form. So 4T, 4S3T, also I saw two 4L, one was landed so-so, but the other one was good! So I really believe his 4L is almost completely back.

That 4T was tilted and he landed leaning so far forward AND HE TACKED ON THE EU-3S, ALIEN!!

Yes, same. Overall, I see no real issues, especially in the context.

 

But can we talk about the 4Lo set up? Or rather the lack of the 4Lo set up? I've been 0.0 since last night about that one. His jumps are fine.

I feel so nostalgic .. I hope he enjoy skating like he did in pre-sochi, sometime I feel he skates with so much pressure and expectation to be perfect after he became Olympic champion. I missed yuzu who enjoy skating like when he did PW at Olympic (when I saw it, I feel like he's having fun doing it)
