Yuzuru Hanyu GP Helsinki Otonal - practice 11.3.2018

Short program's practice on the day he set his 13th world record: 106.69

[@CiONTUw4A]

The fact that there are more spectators at his practice session than some ice shows tells you how he is loved by his fans.

[@sunnida1722]

Even though it's just a practice, I feel excitement by the way he skates

[@ValHanyu]

Yuzuru's practice sessions are some of the best things in watching him compete. It's where you can see him trying out different combos and entries, his amazing skating skills and especially his cool down sessions. It's a treat that no one should miss and sometimes we are rewarded with spectacular things like his 4A attempts at GPF Torino 😉I almost had a few heart attacks but I will never forget the power that jump demands, how majestic it is, and that I witnessed history that day.

[@camsofia6393]

Yuzuru Hanyu 💎

[@annawiniarska2054]

Why the other skaters simply don't sit back and watch him skate. There's no one like him! I would. And after he finishes, I would resume my practice. How can they focus on anything else when Yuzuru is soooooo close.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰

[@Ghastropoda]

Yuzu inspired me to try ice skating again recently - I vastly overestimated my own skills and struggled to do even the most basic movements, and my whole body hurt the next day. I was under no illusions that ice skating was easy, but I realised that I'd been focussing mostly on the jumps and spins to determine a skaters ability, and it was only once I'd been aggressively humbled that I found an appreciation for how smoothly Yuzu moves on the ice. Watching him skate makes you feel powerful because he makes it look so effortless. It's only once you compare him to other, more heavy footed skaters that you realise how gorgeous his footwork and transitions are; his attention to all details of his performance just exudes grace. You notice other skaters seem to forget their arms in performances because they're focussed on their footwork, but Yuzu brings such artistry to every stroke and always includes creative choreography that utilises his whole body to really draw you in - his flow is akin to a ballet dancer. So, in conclusion, no one skates quite like Yuzuru Hanyu. "I bet my life to skating every time" indeed.

[@itsbri3_646]

[@ValHanyu]

Yeah, it really was. I’d recommend anyone watching Yuzuru’s competitions to NEVER miss a practice. You may see something spectacular and unprecedented that has never been seen in an official competition, like the several 4A attempts he did at GPF Torino. Plus practice is very important to him so he gives his all in practices too.

the skaters who practice on the same rink with him probably bcame spriritless after seeing all the attention he got😅 plus his almost flawless routine practice..can't help it, people want to see the Best

[@ValHanyu]

I get it 😅but you know, I gotta agree with Tracy here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH-Zm2dsYrimn80 the skaters in practice with Yuzu have a bigger audience, plus they also have a chance to see excellence right beside them. Many skaters (recently I remember Camden Pulkinen and Shun Sato) who have shared ice time with Yuzu say it's a great opportunity to see his flawless technique up close and learn something. So I believe they actually benefit from it😊

[@ValHanyu]

@@pdmx3618 your english is great! I would totally stop at the boards, if I were a skater, and pretend to be drinking something just to watch yuzu. He too changed my view of skating. I always thought male skating was a boring demonstration of power, full of stiff moves... few skaters were interesting... Johnny was interesting... no wonder I ended up loving Yuzu's style. He is a genius, I don't even know if figure skating will ever have another male skater like him, ever. He lives for FS, he loves the sport and wants to push it forward. His programs have a reason to exist. Otoñal and Origin are not the first time he paid homage to figure skating, he's been doing that for a long time: NDP, R&Js, Firebird, POTO, Danse Macabre. Yuzuru has revisited classic skating programs as well as bringing innovative stuff like SEIMEI, PW and LGC. Really, we are blessed to live in the Hanyu Era.

Es increíble verlo Dios proteja su Don y su entrega Adorable

[@user-pz6go4ez9r]

🎼❄✨🎆✨❄🎼 ~ Да. Мне тоже всегда казалось странным, что часть фигуристов просто скользят по периметру катка, не обращая внимание на шедевр, творящийся у них на глазах. Уже годы прошли со времени этой тренировки, но впечатление просто великолепное. Yuzu невероятно "смотрибелен", - несмотря на будничную обстановку обычной практики. Почему !?.. Здесь много составляющих и все они особенные. Конечно же, в первую очередь мастерство. Непревзойдённая никем "школа" скольжения. Наверное потому, что парень с 4-х лет на коньках. Но с другой стороны, - действующий чемпион ОИ-2022 тоже с этих лет на льду, - а где они, - эти плавно текучие шаги, похожие на мягко вкрадчивую поступь рыси или любой другой представительницы семейства кошачьих ?.. Где эти лианоподобные изгибы движений рук у этого чемпиона, несмотря на то, что он активно посещал балетные классы ?.. Так что раннее приобщение к этому виду спорта не всегда даёт нужные результаты. Yuzuru самородок и этим всё сказано. К тому же, на любой практике он "плавает" по льду с полной самоотдачей, как если бы это происходило на ответственном соревновании. Его вдохновение автоматически включается при вхождении в образы той или иной программы, как на тренировках, так и на соревнованиях. И добавьте сюда очень специфическое обстоятельство. Внешний облик. Yuzuru красив необыкновенно в любых одеждах, которые придумывает его стилист или он сам. Но он выглядит ещё эффектнее именно на тренировках. Дизайн одежды, что носит он на них, - выглядит как от "кутюр". А уж то, как она облегает изящные пропорции фигуриста, - зрелище такое, что трудно отвести глаза. И я присоединяюсь к восторженным восклицаниям по этому поводу - двух авторов предыдущих комментариев и хочу их привести дословно. "Я обожаю этот чёрный силуэт, - струящийся по белому льду". "Честно... помимо всего того, что он совершенно потрясающий, - фигура Yuzuru захватывает дух". Согласитесь, лучше не скажешь ...

[@ValHanyu]

Your comment is perfect! Yes, the years of ballet that other skaters may have had don't automatically translate on the ice. Yuzuru mentioned he only did a couple of weeks of ballet, so his splendid carriage, his beautiful arms and hands are all self-thought. They are product from his undying love for figure skating and beauty, his talent and his never-ending search for perfection. As Belinda Noonan said "Hanyu Yuzuru is a genius"! One of the reasons for him to float on the ice are his excellent skating skills, the use of his edges, his strong core and knees. He already had good SS foundation when he started at TCC, but there they made him aware of how much better of a skater he'd be if he improved his already solid foundation. So together TCC team and Yuzuru's relentless dedication (and natural talent) made him an even faster, smoother and polished skater.

@@ValHanyu 🌿🌞🌿 Hello !.. Thanks. Читала Ваш ответ и улыбка не сходила с моего лица, настолько я солидарна с Вашими рассуждениями. Я давнишний балетный меломан, поэтому имею устоявшееся мнение по поводу изысков этого искусства. И всегда меня поражали в катании Yuzuru - чисто балетные навыки. Да, - самонадеянность, то-есть сам на себя надеется. А по-русски - самородок. "Золотой" !.. И что характерно, - эти качества были отчётливо заметны в детском возрасте. Например прокат в Гонконге, на "Novice-2003", - это просто шедевр. Ему было 9 лет. Нанами Абе бережно шлифовала его природные данные, и собственно то, что представляет сейчас из себя Yuzuru - большей частью заслуга именно этого тренера. А особенно в этом контексте меня поразила "White legend". Очень короткая миниатюра, но за это время Yuzu продемонстрировал всё, на что способен и превзошёл сам себя. Балет в "рафинированной" экспозиции... Батманы, специфика телодвижений и, конечно же, - совершенно изумительные руки, - позиции которых годами "ставят" в балетных классах. Редкой красоты зрелище !.. Знает ли Yuzu балерину Г. Уланову, - понятия не имею, - но у меня, глядя на на него, - возникли ассоциации именно с ней. Такого феномена, как Hanyu Yuzuru в фигурном катании никогда не было и не будет. Остаётся только позавидовать самим себе, что мы имеем такое счастье в нашей жизни. 💐🌞💐

Yuzuru Hanyu ima u sebi unutrašnju lepotu koja se manifestovala na fizičko telo.

Takvi prsti imaju još bolji efekat u njegovom izražavanju tokom plesa. Posebno ako se zna da on igra i kliže celim svojim bićem!!!! Oči mogu i da lažu, ruke ne.

It’s nerve-racking, isn’t it? 😩 you’re not wrong to feel that way… Have you heard of the horrible crash on the ice Yuzuru was involved in, the season after his first Olympic title? There is a rule in figure skating that says whoever has their music playing has complete right of way. Unfortunately not all skaters respect that. But the worst is not that, the worst is when there’s no skater’s music playing and you still see some getting on each other‘s way like Bradie Tennell did to Rika Kihira several times during GPF Torino.
