Worlds Championships
Worlds Championships
German eurosport guys were over the moon for yuzuru. They're usually a little grumpy and therefore hilarious to listen to, but today they were just in awe:
(after the second half): so, in short, a new world record it will be.
(after 3axel sequence): and here are the 100 points and he still has potential for at least 15 more points
(after his skate): Oh my. Oh what was that. What was that, dear viewers? We became contemporary witnesses of an unbelievable performance of yuzuru hanyu. who doesn't get goosebumps, I don't know. I saw people crying - I understand that (meaning he can relate). I understand that totally, this was well and truly an extraordinary occurrence/ happening and a well and truly extraordinary long program without ifs and buts (meaning: with no doubt).He was a great champion.
- yes, the outsider (referring to his 5th place after the sp) raised the bar and the others, I can assure you, there will be some who'll find this to be a hard nut to crack.
- yes, he didn't - when looking at his presentation, at his music choice - gone crazy like with his prince sp, but he showed an unbelievable technical content, that hasn't been showed before by anyone ever. This certainly will become his new personal best at an lp, 219points were the last record. Whether he'll beat his total combined record score, I don't know, because he lost a lot of points in the short program.
- but a program like this - Joe Hisashi composed this music for the opening olympics 1998 which was in the hometown of Joe Hisashi, who is now leading the new Japan Philharmonic orchestra - an overall Japanese constellation concerning the music choice, the execution, the performance, the presence, the brilliance that shines here in Helsinki. The brilliance of Yuzuru Hanyu.
- who would have thought. you watch (figure skating) since 20 years and every few years we see such things that totally hits you, that enthralls you, seizes you and just pulls you under it's spell. Unbelievable! My god. Ha!
- he showed three different quads - salchow, toe loop and loop. he repeated the salchow. And now he's punishing all those who thought he doesn't have a chance to win gold after yesterdays short. He laid out the bar. This reminds me a little of those fighting cows of saitama (what?!) a few years after the Olympic Games when they did something at last (didn't really understand what they meant and what they were talking about, but they definitely said fighting cows ...)
he leaves the impression that he could skate for another 4 minutes. Everything he showed today was done with an unbelievable ease. That was the most impressive of Yuzuru Hanyu.
yes 223 points. personal best of his life. 219 was the record till now. But the combined record score he doesn't top, because of the short programs.
He's sweating, but there're also a few tears I think.
here's a cute selfie that I think one of the volunteers posted with herself and Yuzu
Finally caught up with the thread. Thank you for all the updates, translations, links etc.
I have nothing to share now but just want to say congrats to Yuzu and all of you.
I joined this thread almost a year ago when I was really depressed with the things happened in Boston and after that. After SP things reminded me of exactly what I felt at that time and I realized that what made me sad at that time was not his loss or unhappy face but the feeling that his effort was not rewarded. As he said before, effort lies, and he is not the only one who’s working hard and dealing with difficult situations, but seeing his effort remain unrequited was just heartbreaking.
After seeing his FS, I felt so light after a long time. It was like a spell was broken by the FS.
Score-wise, I don’t think his effort was fully rewarded, but he could perform the way he wanted after a long, hard struggle, at the most important event, against all odds. And he has done it with such a personal piece. According to this article,(If there is no translation shared, I can translate it but it will take time) he even considered changing his program music after 4CC, but he didn’t give up and in the end 4S-3T answered and many people who questioned this music choice enjoyed this performance.
I’m so happy now.
Thanks to all the people who supported him at the venue! I want to hear what you experienced when you have time or after taking rest!
This was royalty. This was maaaajesty.

Ah, thank you Johnny, yes, yes it was :luv17:
xAt the Kiss & Cry:
Tracy: Oh boy, I got a workout!
Brian: Oh, but that was fun to watch.
Tracy: Wasn’t it?
Brian: That was just beautiful.
Yuzuru: Finally. I worked hard [each day?]
Brian: And it all worked.
Tracy: Yes, you did.
Brian: But today you were calmer…
Tracy: Yes.
Brian: Not so intense.
Yuzuru: I don’t know. I was feeling like I don’t have enough energy for…
Brian: Guess what, you did.
Tracy: You always do.
[They laugh.]
Yuzuru: Right.
Brian: Just trust your training, you trained hard.
Yuzuru: Yeah
Brian [jokingly]: 201.
[Scores are announced.]
Tracy: Oh my God!
Yuzuru: I’m not crying!
Brian:[laughs] I am. Almost.
Yuzuru: Almost. I’m not!
Brian: Good boy. Wow.
Bonus:
Yuzuru: But I have to get more 10 points right?
*dead*

Before I go to bed since some of us actually live quite close to Helsinki a k a the Temporary Yuzuru Time Zone Just wanted to share this link I found to the BBC commentary (not my upload): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5gygnj_2017-wc-men-fs-g4-en_sport
Also, don't think anyone here have pointed it out yet but Yuzuru managed to fulfill another one of his goals this season: World Record Free Skate with a Level 4(!) Step Sequence this boy just leaves me speechless

Some new insights into how he prepared for his competition from this article
Rough translation for the interesting part: he has a very slow digestive system/metabolism so there's more than 1kg of food left in his stomach, making his body feel heavy. They discovered that at GPF FP where he didn't perform well. At 4CC he did the free with an empty stomach and was able to do all four quads with a lighter body. He did so again at Worlds.
I hope they feed him afterwards! When did he get to eat!!??
I finally had some free time to watch the SD's and guess who did Yuzu's "mou chotto" move this time? Madison Chock in the K&C

Not a 100% sure what he is saying really fast but I think he said something along the lines of "Really that score!?"
Revelation! 1st worlds Yuzu has had since 2012 where he was not injured!
These French interviewers are so hilarious. Yuzu was so overwhelmed.
This guy said so you are already a God in Japan. What you are going to be now after this great performance?
and lastly You are like an Alien. (I don't think Yuzu got it though, he was so confused). so fun..
Yuzu's confused face is so adorable.
I just want to say i am so happy this photo exists. A perfect reminder that 4S3T finally happened and it was beautiful
