Ah I love your comparation❤️

[@luna-rx4rf]

There’s something about Yuzurus skating that makes him truly irreplaceable. Its pure art, using the blades as brushes to create a delicate and careful masterpiece, a painting of passion and magic on the icy canvas. It’s captivating.

[@pammi3011]

Two and a half thousand comments, and 99.9% of them about Yuzuru. Yuzuru IS the music, Yuzuru IS figure skating. People honestly don't need scores and medals to tell them who is the best at this sport/art. It is so evidently clear who we all want to watch the most. And that doesn't diminish other skaters (many who would probably agree with what I have just written!), it just gives Yuzuru the acclaim he deserves because he is THAT special.

I've been watching figureskating for 42 years now. I've watched every competition and winter Olympic games, but never, ever have I seen a skater, male or female, that has it all - elegance, passion, intelligence, talent, beauty, and charisma of one Yuzuru Hanyu. He is truly a blessed and gifted human being , and I hope that he will continue to elevate figureskating in all its glory. Yuzuru will be at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina. He is not done yet. To all the skaters past and present, here's one human being who truly enjoy watching the art and science of figureskating. Congratulations to you all for making to the 2022 Olympics.

[@ramonamitar1003]

So Nathan skated on Romanian music, I'm Romanian. My "vote" of 10+ as a spectator goes to YUZURU. I said it and I repeat it again, the dictionary does not have enough words to describe Yuzuru as a skater and as a person. As a spectator, I feel honored to have the chance to see him skate. I sincerely hope that he will honor us with his presence on the skating rinks of the world and in the future. No matter the jumps, without Yuzuru the skating will be very, very poor. Ps: "OLYMPICS" you posted the gala here, 99% of the comments are about Yuzuru, I think that says a lot.👑❤👑

[@samchau3476]

Yuzuru's performance is so regal, timeless, and otherworldly. It perfectly encapsulates how there is spring to look forward to after the harshness of winter. I also loved the little details where it seemed like he was waving goodbye to the ash/bleakness and ushering in spring as this lone flower on the ice. This is just art. Nobody can skate like he does.

Yuzuru HANYU’s figure skating is beautiful, touching, with his own emotions in it, unique and exclusive to Yuzuru HANYU. It’s a Soulful Performance ❗️😍

[@kikiam6780]

I am more of a ball games fan and I only watched Winter Olympics'22 out of boredom, but after watching, I immediately became a fan. That guy, Yuzuru, he's amazing. His skating stands out and the best out of everyone. Like even if you're done watching his performance, you have to rewatch it again because it's just so magical and beautiful. He's in an ice rink in a stadium full of people but when he skates? It's like he's in a frozen river, surrounded by snowy pine trees and chirping birds. I don't know what are the exact words to explain it, but it's so enchanting, so hypnotic, so dreamy, so fairylike. While other skates because they have to take home the medal, Yuzuru skates to express emotions and to share his masterpiece. Through his skating, it seems like he's trying to say something. His skating touched me, it motivates and it inspires me. It was so beautiful. I'm not bashing or hating on the other athletes but after watching all of their performances, I had to rewatch Yuzuru's again to 'cleanse' or remind me what figure skating should be, how artistic and beautiful it should be. It's been weeks since Olympics'22 but I'm still binge watching his performances, interviews, fancams and every contents of him. At first, I thought that he's the most famous figure skater because he's obviously the best in this field and he's handsome, but after I watched his contents, his personality made me stay. He's amazing, talent wise, personality wise. It even made me wonder how can someone like him exist in real life. I was so captivated by him, I made a research and find out that he's been through a lot. The earthquake, his asthma, injuries, and also the fact that he's robbed of medals and underscored a lot of times already. His life can be made into a movie or manga because he's just been through a lot of hardships. I do understand now why people call him the GOAT and the Prince of Ice. He is not just athlete, he is also an artist, a performer and an inspiration. He is an icon, a legend. The only figure skater who can make their performance elegant and beautiful like a swan. The only figure skater i've seen who can make the jumps smooth and easy. He's an art. Honestly, he doesn't need medals, he's above those gold medals already, what they need to give him is a crown made of diamonds. He's that unreachable already. He's irreplaceable that I fear what would happen in the figure skating field once he decided to retire.

[@sakurakumari7305]

Hanyu was asked why he chose Haru yo koi for exhibition in an interview. He answered, There are many pains in this world. I skated with the hope that spring（bright & happy future）would come to those who are suffering from the pain of being unable to escape or being unable to say anything.

I don't know how to describe the different feeling I have whenever I watch Yuzuru's skating compared to other skaters, I don't exactly know all the technical, artistical components in figure skating, but I can tell Yuzuru's skating is very mesmerizing, unique, artistic, poetic, and more than beautiful. It's not about the appearance and body figure at all, it's all about the vibes he gives off, his expression of the songs he is following, ahhhhh. He is an art himself.

[@ep6808]

And though he impresses us with his difficult tricks, he makes them look so easy and graceful, like a pro ballet dancer. His easy take-offs, the height and length of his jumps, the feather-light landings and the way he incorporates them into the story and blends them with the music. He's an incredible athlete, and an artist, and a genius.

There really is something so phenomenal about Yuzuru. He’s obviously incredibly talented but there’s something else that just draws you to him. When you watch him skate, you can’t look away, his moves, the emotions, the music he picks all just have this feeling. It’s truly indescribable, I can’t explain how, but he just has this quality about him that pulls you in. His performances always have so much emotion, wether it was back in his earlier pro years where you could just feel the youthful energy he had. A bit reckless but so fun. Or now where he hasn’t lost that but there’s a more refined and mature touch. Experience and calmness he has. The emotional pieces he’s chosen to do always make me feel like I want to cry watching them. He’s absolutely the GOAT of this generation.

I really admire yuzuru so much..... he's the reason why I'm here😁😁😁

[@fluffzu5890]

Yuzuru's performance was beautiful ❤❤👌

[@jeffchan2054]

Yuzuru's performance is well-beyond technique. It is art and you can connect what he wants to express. No matter how many times I watch this song, it is still touching and gets my tears. GOAT.

So true and well put!💙

He is the only reason why I watch figure skating.

[@wywywyy7528]

I only love Yuzuru’s skating.He is the only reason why I watch the Winter Olympics Games,and I think that over 99 percent people come to review and express their support for him.

[@HuongTran-gk6xw]

Here again for Yuzuru

[@victoriaakhmetova3387]

Yuzuru hasn’t become Olympic Champion one more time, but he is still the main star

[@mocky126]

1:48:10 Yuzuru said “arigato gozaimashita” - “thank you for everything” after his performance, thanking everyone and humble as he is. We should thank him instead for inspiring us.

[@acetherielle4285]

The fact that they used Yuzuru Hanyu's picture as thumbnail just goes to show that Yuzuru is indeed the highlight of Beijing Olympics.

And don't forget bing dwen dwen 🤭

Well i come because of Bing DwenDwen

[@Palmtreefromsk8]

And because he's more popular than most of the others so they would get more views lol He has THAT charisma

[@kaiwistoski9858]

I love Yuzuru but this comment is kinda disrespectful to all the athletes who you know….. medaled. That is what the Olympics are about after all

Yuzuru is an angel ...💕💕💕

[@so.centralrain889]

Thank you for leaving the video. Yuzuru Hanyu is the most beautiful skater you can meet only once in a lifetime. Incredibly beautiful.

[@rebeccali1481]

I am literally inspired by such a great and heroic athelete, and artist. Yuzuru Hanyu is a gift for all the human being from natural mother. I am so lucky to live in the same era with Yuzuru Hanyu. Can’t wait to watch his performance in person!

[@user-dgudshjy]

Can't even count how many times I've watched this mesmerizing performance. Yuzuru Hanyu looks so free like a wild bird, even carrying the pain of that injured ankle. He's my most respected person in the world.

[@asteriali4862]

same here.

[@julliaclare9299]

How did he injure his ankle? Was it severe?

[@abgilboxer8172]

@@julliaclare9299 He got it injured in practice the day before the free skate. It was really bad and after the Olympics he has to withdraw from the worlds. He took 6 pills of painkillers to appear in the Gala.

[@julliaclare9299]

@@abgilboxer8172 ooh that's so tragic. Is that the reason for his retirement?

[@abgilboxer8172]

@@julliaclare9299 Not exactly. He had several bad injuries before and he had asthma, but those are not the reasons he switched his career to a Professional skater. He has been suppressed by ISU for 6 - 7 years and they tried their best to underscore him. As he said in the press conference, he did not want to be evaluated (by the system) anymore. In addition, he has won practically everything a figure skater can imagine, which even included two Olympics golds. So he decided to perform in front of the audience, but not the ISU judges.

After the news today, Yuzurus performance really does feel like a beautiful and yet final goodbye letter
