I completely agree with Dylan on this. After his long program, Nathan looks as if it's no big deal and he swaggers off the ice. Yuzu and Vincent Zhou and Shoma Uno all have a rag doll as if they've been rode hard and put away wet. Nathan has incredible stamina.

First off: I LOVE seeing such passionate commentary about figure skating from fans. It is important and healthy for people to have differing opinions. This is a key factor in what makes skating skating. It’s subjective and that is one of the things that makes it so special and unique. I am not biased towards Nathan or against Yuzu. I say it as I see it. I have been out there and lived that life and have the utmost respect for everyone who makes it to this level and puts themselves out there. These are some of my opinions based on my understanding of skating after competing for 28 years. I used to train with Yuzu and have nothing but respect for him. He is a legend and in no way slowing down. In the heat of competition, moments are created and they leave you with a feeling. Nathan’s skate was something very special. Not just for his technical content but for his confidence, quality and sureness of execution. This in no way takes away from what an amazing skate Yuzu had. But based on those two performances, Nathan’s skate was stronger. Yes it was a wide margin. And yes Yuzu had mistakes. I in no way think that it’ll be a blowout if both skate perfectly. We are looking at a continued evolution in the sport and that is going to cause controversy. You can agree, or disagree, with our opinions. We are two people who lived our lives in the sport and are trying to share some insights while entertaining audiences. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Your opinions matter to us and we look forward to enjoying more skating with you as the season continues.

You don't need to justify anything! I agree Nathan's performances were really great. it's just that you two maybe didn't have any background on the drama with Yuzuru (lol) which is understandable. The Ghislain's stolen passport in Frankfurt saga, Yuzuru's sudden 5 quads decision even if he only had one successful run through before to banish his 4Lz fear, 4A practice out of frustration and because no coach was there to say no. Here's some interviews where Yuzuru explains his reasoning: twitter.com/iceprinceyuzuru/status/1203675098827427840 twitter.com/iceprinceyuzuru/status/1203328337172717569 twitter.com/olympicchannel/status/1203021391064371200

Dylan Moscovitch Can’t agree with you more and thanks for sharing your candid insight out of your own professional experience. While creating the hype of rivalry between Yuzuru and Nathan benefits the figure skating industry and a lot of stakeholders, I disagree with the note some have put out with - that both are equally great. The fact is, they are not equal for the time we are in. Nathan is way better, a class of his own and no one is even getting close. A point difference of 1 to 5 might suggest equal rivalry. But we are talking about almost 44 points. And even back in March World Championship, It was already a whopping 23 points. So my point is, with all my respect to Yuzuru who was the greatest for his time, in today’s men’s single skating world, there is no real equal rivalry existing. Nathan dominates so much in every way that in reality it is Nathan and everyone else. Nathan doesn’t need to be recognized as anyone’s rivalry to stand out in lime light. His performance speaks for itself (and what a performance considering he didn’t even seem to sweat over it, and he did it part time amid his full time Yale study)! In addition, His humbleness and kindness despite the huge achievement shines even brighter as a great human being and role model!

I don´t think anyone disagrees with Nathan winning. We are just saying that his scores were massively inflated. Nathan is a great skater and amazing at jumping. However, I can´t see him ever being even close to the level of adoration that Yuzu has. It´s simply because Yuzu has that je ne sais qua, the it factor that just makes you completely mesmerized when he skates. He is from another planet. Nathan is just a really good skater. I agree with what Tatiana Tarasova said during the broadcast: Nathan is amazing but Yuzuru is a gift from God himself. I could not agree more. Plushenko was similar, there have been a lot of really good skaters in Russia but there is only one Evgeni Plushenko. He is loved because he can make people feel when he skates, even those who don´t usually watch the sport.

“Yuzuru Hanyu is the greatest skater (or the best skaters) in history”. This is actually said by more than a few top foreign figure skating commentators in the world in the past. This year, “Euro Sports" figure skating competitions seem to have been blocked, so, we can no longer watch, read, and/or hear their comments over an internet. However, up to the last year, most major figure skating competitions' comments by leading European commentators were translated, at least, into Japanese, and some of those commentators did say “Hanyu is the greatest skater in history.” If it was expressed as “one of the greatest figure skaters in history”, then it was said by even more commentators. It is notorious that American judges often give questionable high scores to American skaters. In some cases, these undeserved scores were so high, many people, including some foreign commentators, couldn’t figure out why. In my opinion, America’s Skating Union wants to create American super stars to obtain more figure fans and audiences. Of course, American super stars must hold the world records, so American judges give “very high” scores to their skaters. ISU appears to pretend as if they knew nothing, maybe because a certain American TV station is a big money source to ISU. Don’t American judges realize that what they do is actually an insult to American figure skaters? I think that American skaters work so hard to win fairly based on their own performances, and not by obvious unfair favoritism.

Eva Yuzuru has never used his asthma as an excuse and he’s been skating for 21 years.

@melody32394 жыл бұрын
I think another factor is how much content there is in Yuzuru's free skate vs Nathan's. There's a lot more choreography, difficult transitions, etc throughout the entire program, versus Nathan's free skate which is relatively empty and has longer set ups for jumps. It would also explain Nathan's consistency with landing his jumps (which is impressive!). But it does make it easier for Nathan because of his programs.

So now all we can do is compare to each other on the day and not really think about the actual number. Yes I wish it weren't that way. But unfortunately I don't see it changing any time soon. I agree that Nathan Chen's actual number was too high at GPF, but then in that case (IMO) so was Yuzu's because he did not have his usual magic.

He never had to up his tech to five quads until he messed up the SP and then decided to throw caution to the wind and just do five quads in order to try to max his BV.

Also, fairness would give players more motivation to work harder, and, consequently, they will enjoy their victories more. As an American, I really would like to believe US to be a country that respects fairness and justice, so I can be proud of my country. However, when it comes to this score difference arrangement between Hanyu and Check, I feel embarrassed.

All of the criticisms they listed about Hanyu you is the reason why his PCS was not as high as you’d like it to be. You have to be good for the entire four minutes, not a dead fish for two of them. You’re literally saying he should only should be judged for the PCS for the first half of his skate.

To be able to become the ''greatest figure skater of the century'', one has to be good ''on the ice'' as the complete package, perfect combination of artistic and technical skills, textbook perfect jumps, and tons of difficult transitions, not just good ''on the score sheets'' for 3 years, gifted GOE TES PCS, telegraphed jumps, no difficult transitions, invalid sit spins, aimless strolling from one corner to the other, tons of crossovers, and only spread eagle.

Yuzu missed 2 jumps, his last jump was supposed to be a 3A+3A sequence...20 points. Missed combo in short ..15 pts, plus under rotated Flip-5 pts. So yes, point differential is accurate. Yuzu was gassed after the last quad, he PCS was hurt because he was not trained for a 5 quad program. He basically stopped skating last minute of program. So his PCS suffered. When you give Trusova/Samarin like skaters 7-8 on PCS , they have no choice but give Nathan types 9-9.5. If they judged fairly, Yuzu 9-9.5, Nathan 8-8.5 and other men 6&7s. But since everyone starts at 7.5, there is no choice but put Nathan in 9-9.5 range. Johnny Weir said it best, Trusova is an acrobat doing tough tricks with nothing in between, her PCS should be 5 to 6, IMO.

Hanyu has always had a slack body posture and lifeless, hanging "noodle" arms in his programs. He hangs his head and looks down at the ice, not the audience, much of the time, too. He does this at the beginning of his programs before he's spent any energy, but it gets worse when he's tired. I've heard judges rightly criticize his poor posture, but it never seems to show in his PCS. Nathan and Uno are good examples of how every part of their body is energized, right down to their fingertips. Every arm movement has energy and intention. For the best posture, look no further than Paul Wylie or Denis Ten. Hanyu just looks like a rag doll out there most of the time.

@Jobless-Anti "Relaxed upper body posture?" LOL You mean like a boned fish with no backbone, slouchy and wobbly."Feather-light and soft, graceful landings?" Apparently, you didn't see his performances at the 2022 Olympics where he crashed to the ice three times or his solo show, The Gift, where he nearly fell on several jumps, especially during the section where he skated his SP from the 2022 Olympics. It was quite scary. He had landings with LOTS of leaning and swinging of the free leg, but keep telling yourself all that nonsense to make yourself feel better.

The commentary is quite funny must it must also be acurate. It was not Hanyu’s first quad lutz landed in competition. Chen’s program is NOT the best program of all time of Men (are you seriously out of your mind?!?!? Has anybody even watched it more than once?!?!) Hanyu has a completely different body structure than Chen, plus the most complex/difficult program in Men, plus he, against all advice, always gives his all: he doesn’t do “saving energy”. All of that, combined with a program he had never skated before is like... watching the theoretically impossible happen right before your eyes. As for Chen, yes, this was just another clean runthrough, but with a worse costume. lol Just wear your practice clothes, Nate. Finally, just a note to complain about the outrageous and shameful attribution of scores to Nathan. He won because he deserved to win. He doesn’t need his fed to buy him scores. The US fed is bringing shame and disrepute to all their athletes with this behaviour.

Yuzu is an athlete, y'all think he did not strengthen his body for such a grueling sport. He has been skating in the seniors since 2010/2011 season and been at the top since 2013/2O14 season. He is a grown man of 25 years now. Elite athletes train hard. Even japanese tv reports him as a training monster. Asthma or not quads are exhausting.

What's happening isn't new to long-time figure skating fans. We've seen this happen time and time again. The "system", desperate to rekindle the public's interest in the sport, cling to a fresh and talented face for help. Yuzuru is no longer the shiny new star of men's figure skating, Nathan is. And now Nathan is the one benefiting from inflated scoring, just as Yuzuru once had.

@@kristenjames318 They state that Nathan's performance is the greatest of the history of the men's event...a bold claim which has never been given to anyone else since everyone has their personal opinions whenever anyone tried to bestow that title on any performance before. Not sure why it's ok to hand it out so freely now...? They mention Nathan's skating skills have been undervalued when in fact, that mark, was the one most skating fans all agreed (whether you like Nathan or not) that was incredibly inflated for the GPF... They say that this was Yuzuru's first Quad Lutz in competition when it is his second, his first was COR 2017. They say that Yuzuru missed one jump when he actually missed three, almost four (the combo in the short with the triple toe, the two triple axels in the long, and the under-rotated triple flip in the long)...all of those would have accounted for at least 30 points, give or take a couple more, and boosted his PCS and GOE...thereby making the two on par. This perception of one annihilating the other seems very biased if they haven't even mentioned that fact to viewers. The difference between the two men being tired is based on age, stamina, physical attributes (asthma) and comfort (Nathan having done a 5 Quad program before while Yuzuru has not). The floppy and sloppy comment is unnecessary since we can list so many other people who have other ways of showing fatigue or even poor technique (such as Nathan's stiff knees on landings). The difference in energy is also a factor based on what is being done in the programs...transitions and deep edges contribute to tiredness...which Yuzuru showcased. Quite amazing to see the two men go "toe to toe" except...they didn't, one had a great day and the other did not...it would be more accurate to say "toe to toe" when both have skated their best and cleanest.

Leave it to Hanyu, who has to challenge everything, to pull a skate like that without preparation. He truly is a legend.

I want to think it doesn't matter what the point difference was, the ranking is correct and maybe if Hanyu were No. 1 the point difference would also be magnified. But unfortunately the scoring does make a difference. Someone online did their own judging and came up with Nathan defeating Yuzu by 3 points in the SP. If it had only been 3 pts Yuzu wouldn't have felt the need to push himself to do a 5-quad program and we would have really seen what happened with Nathan's base value versus Yuzu's usual GOE scores.
