Translation of the “looooong” comments made by Yuzuru during the press conference after the FS at NHK Trophy 2015  (by Sophie Moroi. “For the benefit of time, I have only translated Yuzuru’s answers, omitting answers from other skaters, sorry…”)

Original in Japanese: http://sports.yahoo.co.jp/

Q1)  What is your current feeling after the FS? Yuzuru: To be honest, I am rather delirious myself and am not sure what to say.  I am just simply very happy.  I also would like to express my appreciation to all those who have supported me so far.  [Meanwhile,] this is neither the Pyeongchang Olympics nor the following Olympics.   This is not my last competition, either.  I would like to make further efforts everyday, much harder, in order to make a performance that remains in your heart, regardless of scores.  

Q2)   Mr. Hanyu, how were you feeling as you nailed all the jumps one by one, and what was your emotion at the end of your programme? Yuzuru: At any rate, I wanted to land each jump in a careful manner.  I suppose everybody was really surprised by the final score, as much as I am.  To be honest, [probably] the performance was good but I cannot actually feel it; anyway, I am filled with indescribable emotion.  I feel as if I am floating.  As regards FS, not all the jumps were perfectly clean; and not all the elements including spins and steps were absolutely beautiful.  I performed each and every element by inserting my feeling into it, believing in my practice so far and my body.  I was able to feel the cheering voices and zealous eyes of the audience, whenever I nailed one jump.  While we are not on the other side of the TV, I was able to hear voices of hearts that I shouldn’t be able to hear in reality; I had a feeling that I was receiving power from all over Japan and the world.

Q3) Questions to all three skaters.  At the NHK trophy [this time], all the skaters challenged a quad for both SP and FS, for the first time in the figure-skating history.  There were a total of 25 quads, which means that one skater jumped 2 quads on average.  In the future, particularly towards the Pyeongchang Olympics, what kind of jumps and how many do you think will be required?

Yuzuru: My lutz are not as stable as Boyang’s.  I have landed 4Lz only once just by accident.  I cannot nail either 4Lz or 4Lo with the same quality of Boyang’s quads.  I have actually tried 4A several times, but neither succeeded in landing nor completing sufficient rotations. Then, if you ask me how many quads will be necessary in the future, I don’t know, either.  My memory of Olympics is not very certain, but I have a feeling that the figure-skating generation changes every Olympics.  The most impressive one for me is the Olympics at Salt Lake City; half of the skaters or all the skaters above 10th place were landing high-quality quads.  At Vancouver, on the contrary, Mr. Evan Lysacek, who didn’t have any quad, won the gold. If being asked which was correct and which was wrong, be it in Salt Lake City, Torino, or Vancouver, I would suppose that all are correct.  To be sure, there were heated discussions in the figure-skating world at the Vancouver Olympics as to whether it was OK for not trying quads, or whether Mr. Evan Lysacek deserves a gold.  Amid such debates which didn’t necessarily produce any “correct answer”, almost half of the skaters at the Sochi Olympics challenged quad(s) and fought the competitions. In fact, I myself am surprised to hear that all the skaters [at NHK] challenged quad(s).  However, the question is not only whether you jump a quad, but also you have to make a clean landing.  Only by achieving a clean landing can you get good points.  The base value of a 3A and that of a quad have no more difference than 2 points.  This means that, if you nail a clean 3A, obtaining GOE + 2 or 3, then you will get a higher point than a quad.  So, quite bluntly, as was the case for the Vancouver Olympics, if you get GOE +3 for all the jumps, then you could potentially win even without a quad.  That’s the rule of figure-skating, as I understand. Having said that, I have challenged a total of 5 quads including short.  That’s because my best weapon, I believe, is to try [several] quads, challenge more difficult entries and exits, and land a 3A, which is the nearest jump to a quad, with a high quality sufficient to obtain a point similar to a quad.   Also, there will be many other new skaters in the future. What I felt this time is that Mr. Boyang made a wonderful performance, including quads in the second half both in SF and FS, despite the fact that he has just moved from junior to senior.  I feel like we are witnessing the future of figure-skating, but at the same time that is not the only solution.  I also would like to try my absolute best and practice harder, aiming at more difficult quads and quads with higher quality.  

— After very short comments from Boyang and Mura —-

[MC: I am afraid we have already run out of time.  So, the press-conference is now over.]

Yuzuru: I AM AWFULLY SORRY FOR TALKING SO LOOOOONG!!!!

Update: video of a news programme on this.  At the end, Yuzu went to the interpreter to apologise for giving him so much work to do. ^^

Yuuri Katsuki - The Epitome of ‘Unreliable Narrator’

I’m doing a rewatch of Yuri on Ice, and now that my knowledge of skating has increased substantially, the way I’m watching Yuri on Ice has changed completely.

For Yuuri to receive a score of 106 in his short programme is absolutely mental. Before I knew about skating I thought a score of above 100 was ‘good’ and anything below was ‘average’. It’s not. For reference:

Skate America this year - Vincent Zhou, who placed first in the short programme scored an overall score of 97, which is astoundingly high in itself. Shoma Uno, renowned for his high PCS scored 44.78, where Yuuri scored 47. 

The world record for the SP is 111.82 by Yuzuru Hanyu. This is followed by Nathan Chen who scored 110.38. Shoma Uno has the 3rd highest SP score (104.15). What’s interesting to note is that all these records were set POST 2018…meaning Yuuri would’ve surpassed the then world record by a good 10 points.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn_U8hjbFoM - This skate is the HIGHEST scored SP in the world currently… with the exact same elements as Yuuri (3A, 4S, 4T+3T and 3 spins with a level 4 step sequence). In fact, Yuuri’s base score is probably HIGHER as all his jumps were in the second half of the programme, unlike Hanyu’s (because jumping on tired legs is harder)

I think we as the audience are so swayed by Yuuri’s negative portrayal of himself that we fail to realise just how much of an amazing skater he is (hello, unreliable narrator alert). Katsuki Yuuri is LITERALLY the best of the best, and the more I watch this series the more I realise just how talented our boy is

My art project-I don't know I just wanted something aot on it (lol) also ily hange I STAN

Also I liked 250 posts

He left no time to regret

Kept his dick wet

With his same old safe bet

Me and my head high

And my tears dry

Get on without my guy

You went back to what you knew

So far removed

From all that we went through

And I tread a troubled track

My odds are stacked

I'll go back to black

We only said goodbye with words

I died a hundred times

You go back to her

And I go back to

I go back to us

I love you much

It's not enough

You love blow and I love puff

And life is like a pipe

And I'm a tiny penny

Rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words

I died a hundred times

You go back to her

And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words

I died a hundred times

You go back to her

And I go back to

Black, black

Black, black

Black, black

Black

I go back to

I go back to

We only said goodbye with words

I died a hundred times

You go back to her

And I go back to

We only said goodbye with words

I died a hundred times

You go back to her

And I go back to black

Please?
