We can say whatever we want, but to me, he’s the REAL goat no matter what. He attempted jumps that people thought were impossible and everytime we thought he reached perfection, he did EVEN BETTER the time after. He’s an artist. King Yuzu 🙇🏻‍♀️

I mean, that shouldn't even be in question

[@bobababy6089]

He is. Nobody can deny that

[@kanekiken4860]

No one can deny how truly groundbreaking he was as a competitive athlete, but what made so many of us stay is his commitment and dedication to the sport, regardless of whatever circumstances (and to new fans, trust me, there A Lot of circumstances) and stones are hurled his way, his unprecedented mindset towards skating, in what ways exactly he expresses his unending adoration for it - through countless interviews, documentaries, media days, competitions, it is very clear we will never see another who loves skating quite as much as he does. “Skating equals living” and “(during the earthquake this March after he returned from Beijing) the number one thing on my mind was to protect my boots. I felt that even if I was in danger, I would still retrieve it, protect - I thought I might cry at the thought of protecting it. Perhaps this is what figure skating is to me.” Among other things as well, like his SIX crossover short program, Rondo Capriccioso, who experts have said was impossible to execute. Or truly unbelievable transitions and innovations, and matching every single movement of his boots to every nuance in the music. He really was the most dedicated competitive skater of all time.

[@freyjaosiris958]

To be honest, H&L is so perfect. he deserve higher PCS.

[@eggizgud]

And technical scores. It's unbelievable that none if his technical elements got the maximum.

[@SW17888]

Hanyu had been underscored by the judges for many years. There are lots of analyses of his program's scores online according to ISU's own rule book, They compared the same technical elements w/ other skaters', frame by frame analysis, while others w/ subpar jumps got much higher GOE/PCS. Also, there are many commentators who had questions about his scores too. This is not a secret. ISU tried to get rid of him for a very long time already.

[@guerroneo8782]

Yuzu is just absolutely perfect here, it's stunning and breathtaking. I like watching the program with the Italian commentators, they have the right mindset and dare to criticize the scoring.

Уничтожали ханю как могли

[@jonathancavallin4920]

Uh, it's about damn time you publish the "official" video of this masterpiece, considering it's the best free skate ever. But I get that you still feel ashamed of the underscoring of this world record...or at least you should be ashamed.

[@mireiafarreras9542]

I don't completely understand how scores go in this sport yet, so why does everyone say he got underscored? I mean he made a mindblowing WR if I'm not mistaken (322 points in total)

[@henni1475]

​@@mireiafarreras9542 At first glance, these 223.20 points appear a lot, as it was a world record score at that time. However, if you take a closer look at the rules and scoring guidelines, and compare the judges' marks for this performance with others, you can't help but think that it's a disappointing result. Hanyu has received a total of 29 perfect scores for technical elements internationally in the course of his career, but not a single one for this performance. None of the 13 executed elements got unanimous +3 GOE from the judging panel despite the high quality of execution. Also, this free skate program was the most balanced to be performed in international competition up to date, especially in transition quality and composition, yet it only received the sixth highest program component score (PCS) in men's singles, which is a shame. Personally, my conviction is that no skater has ever been truly underscored, but rather ridiculously overscored, especially in the program components. However, this particular program - even if you ruthlessly stick with the rules and scoring guidelines - should have deserved at least 227 to 228 of the max possible 234.33 points. That's how outstanding it was.

[@mireiafarreras9542]

@Henni147 thank you so much for explaining!! I felt really impressed by this performance cause I believe everything he did was perfection, but I didn't know about the maximum you could get and everything! Anyway even underscored, the score he got is still so f*cking amazing, I mean 233.20 out of 234.33, WOW

[@henni1475]

He got 223.20 of possible 234.33. This is 11 points away from the maximum. If scoring was consistent and strictly following the guidelines for all skaters and performances, then it would be indeed a great score. But looking at the very selective judging and some blatant candies that have been awarded in the last two systems, these 11 points are a harsh deduction for this once-in-a-lifetime skate.

[@lannguyende]

@@henni1475 think of 234 points for a 4-quad FP, it's just mind-blowing. Imagine if ISU had treated him fair, literally no one would have opposed him being the GOAT, even American ^^

[@abgilboxer8172]

I completely agree. 'Seimei' is indeed a milestone in figure skating history because it was the first program to combine such complex transitions, skating skills, and jumps at such a high level. However, 'Hope and Legacy' is something even more exceptional. In that World Championship performance, he entered a unique 'zone,' elevating his musical interpretation to a new level. It’s a singular, flawless moment-one that may be impossible to recreate. Everything aligned perfectly: the timing, the place, and the audience."

[@yingyingyo1207]

​@@loveloveloveloveeeIlia has all the jumps which is incredible and I respect that. But other than that, his spins, steps, skating skills and expressions are very much lacking which makes his performance a little boring to watch despite the high component scores. And that's the reason why he hasn't gained much popularity even though he has won the latest GPF and Worlds. I hope he improves in the next two seasons and at least bring some sparks to Milan Olympics.

During an interview after the presscon, Yuzu said his skating skills and PCS had reached more or less full marks back in 2015 and even though he’d improved since, the scores were coming down. He felt happier showing his performance to the audience who showed more appreciation and not about winning/losing. ISU do you have something to say about it, in front of masterpieces like H&L (which you published yesterday)? Do you think he really deserved a lower pcs scores in Otonal or Origin or LMEY or Rondo, for instance?
