This is GOAT behaviour c: Congratulations Yuzu!
Well, he has never won GP China, GP America and GP France.
Joking aside. But he had already won everything way back in 2014 - because If one wins Olympics, Worlds, GPF and two GP events throughout his career, then this is indeed everything. And as of 2018 he has won each of these titles at least twicle! I do not even think that 4CC is a compulsary competition like Euros. Anyway, the fact that he won even 4CC now - WOW!
Sui/Han also got their career grand slam this year by finally winning the GPF. They can also do the Super Slam if they win the 2022 Olympics because they won JWC and JGPF too. Zhenya can also do the Super Slam if she wins the Olympics. Looks like of the 3A, only Trusova won both JWC and JGPF so she can also do it if she wins Euros and Olympics.
Do we know which other current senior skaters still have a shot at the Super Slam?
(Of course down the track, they may decide to declare a Super-super by throwing in the Youth Olympics, making it almost - but not quite - impossible)
In pairs and dance it's not especially unusual to win both the JGP Final and Junior Worlds, so there are a number of active teams (or individuals) who have hit the junior threshold:Do we know which other current senior skaters still have a shot at the Super Slam?
Indeed. Yuma and Young are already out. If Panfilova/Rylov win JWC this year they'll be in the best spot for the super-super.
Someone on twitter pointed out that not only is Yuzuru the first and only man - so far - to do it, but if he could manage another 4CC gold next year (in Sydney, please Yuzu? The national broadcaster's already throwing out hopes and wishes) he will have the equivalent of a double top of a slam... two of every single one of them.
Someone needs to dare him.
Sendai would be a very happy place to be tonight...
Nahhhh, Yuzu will only achieve the real figure skating grand slam when he wins Canadian nationals. That’s according to my fangirl daughter, circa five seasons ago.
In all seriousness, Yuzu’s figure skating CV is pretty damn impressive, and I suspect he’ll continue to add many more accomplishments to it for several seasons to come. :agree:
Yes, we were so excited in Sendai
Can I tell my secret story?
I can’t help laughing when he started to skate to Seimei yesterday, because I suddenly felt like walking in the shopping street in downtown Sendai, in where the music is being played as BGM everyday.
Sorry Yuzu, it’s because we love you so much Congrats for your great achievement!
