Van Santos the last change foot spin (aka the very last spin before the music stopped)

[@yingyingyo1207]

Artistry aside, what attracted me from the first instance was how insanely fast he entered a jump. There were absolutely no hesitations prior to the jumps. He just got into the position and elevated into the air, so light and effortlessly, and landed smoothly, then went into the next move without any pause. It was as if the jump was supposed to be there. He did it as if it was as easy as walking down a street. Nothing too straining, nothing too difficult. It is just there. This can't be done without the absolute mastery of the jumps. If someone says Hanyu is an artistic but not-so-technical skater, the person is literally calling him or herself stupid and ignorant. There are no skaters who show absolute mastery in jumps like Hanyu did.

[@vitaminmiracle5303]

The 3A was just marvelous. Idk how many times I have been in awe at the fact that his takeoff - air time - landing matched the note PERFECTLY. And it's the quieter part of the music, so the impact is not in your face but when you discover it, the feels just hit like a truck

Millah Milla Actually I was thinking the same in the beginning but then I realized that the 1st version the program was more ethereal itself... I was not feeling the power of yuzu there for some reason ... second version was just about power ... this last version was a Golden middle and the costume also emphasizes both the ethereal nature of the program and unbelievable strength and confidence of his ... that was kind of my feeling

[@mariamrusishvili1724]

@Millah Milla I completely understand what you mean ... probably from my character the power and dominance is very impressive for me combined with delicacy and that's why I love the last version the most but all of us have our preferences ... but now we are nitpicking, anybody in the sport would dream to skate the way he has skated even the worst skate of ballade

[@catbail13]

Everything he does is breathtaking. I have been to an Olympic ice stadium, and they are massive. The speed the skaters travel over the ice to cover the whole rink is just staggering.

And yuzuru does the exact opposite of that. his performances are pure artistry. He makes the INSANE jumps he's doing look completely effortless.

And then he started skating and it felt like the whole arena was holding their breath, and how he just nailed element after element, and I just knew that this was something else. You weren't the only one crying at the end, I was this really weird emotional mess who tried to explain to a friend of mine over skype why I was sat crying over figure skating. I've seen him live actually! I was in Helsinki for the grand prix, and when he came out, it was like it transformed in to a completely different arena. Seeing him skate, you just KNEW you were seeing a legend.

The Axel Overlord. The Prince on Ice.

[@stargazer8679]

Same, the gp series has reminded me how special Yuzuru is. His talent is so relevant and I hope new generations will remember the beauty of it

[@Icarus_II]

There needs to be a video of this FS hanging in the Louvre. The last male skater that had this level of charisma and art/athleticism combo was Alexi Yagudin. That's going back a long way.

[@dianemcqueen2302]

The beauty of this brings tears to my eyes, I feel so lucky to be alive to do so.

[@abbydudu]

couldn't agree more, Yuzuru is a gem and his legacy will prevail trough history

[@szklanooka]

I'm back here after the Echoes of life to watch this masterpiece again. It still moves me to my core.

フィギュアスケートにあまり興味がなかったけど、このバラ1で衝撃を受けた。あまりにも美しくて…その後の白鳥にも美しさにも衝撃！ 動画巡りをして羽生くんの今までのプログラムを知り、インタビューやら、ファンのブログなどもさかのぼりチェックしました。 羽生くんは最高で最強で、努力の天才何だと！ 羽生くん、生まれて来てくれてありがとう！😭😭😭

[@gabrieleruth1220]

I don’t even know anything about this sport he’s the only one I watch I love his outfits his beautiful smile and his determination beautiful

[@mm3Axel]

I became a fan of Yuzuru after seeing this performance.

[@xuefeiliu7161]

He was the first to perform in the last group. Don't forget that he also had a serious injury but bringing a performance like this. Unbelievable! He is technically and spiritually irresistible. Everytime it is breath taking.

[@cheerios984]

I only came to know Yuzuru since Beijing Olympics and I regretted not having discovered such a gem earlier on. As someone who can't tell the difference between the different types of jumps and a classical music lover, I am drawn to him because he made the music alive. It is almost like he became the music. Of course, this can only be done with superb skating techniques and jump landings that look light and effortless. This programme and also his Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso programme are masterpieces and will withstand the test of time, just like Chopin's and Saint-Saens' music.

[@arizona19swim22]

if you like when skaters can become one with the music you should check out zhenya medvedeva

[@Kat-zj5kd]

welcome to addiction yuzu..figure skating for men is not the same now

[@anectica7354]

Definitely. Legend is forever. This program will remain a legend forever over time.

[@ChriseyApple]

You sound like a robot.

[@stargazer8679]

I was thinking the same! I haven't seen any other skater reach this level of harmony in their performance! Getting to see him skate has been a blessing, he made me even start figure skating!

[@Zach-ne9ju]

This is still the best SP performed ever. The 4T - 3T is musically so on point

[@yinghsi1207]

And the 3A that without putting the free leg down at landing. Absolutely sublime.

[@Zach-ne9ju]

Yeah Yuzu's 3A needs a mention of its own. It's like a different jump from others.

He’s retiring from competitive skating, not ice skating altogether

[@thuytuong1620]

Me, watching him everyday

[@mopey651]

Can't get over the fact that he looks like he's just floating through a white abyss. Absolutely stunning

You can't even imagine how much i wanted to forget this masterpeace and watch it as if it were my first time :')

[@VOCALOIDENJOYER]

2023 and i'll still never get bored of him.

[@jimmiebryant2262]

Those 15 seconds of total stillness in the beginning is absolute genius.

And he pulled THAT off with severe ankle injury which he led everyone believe had recovered. He's an athlete, an artist and also a strategist. Words can't describe how amazing he is.

男ですが羽生さんがかっこよすぎます。 最高です！！！

we need a museum to keep this ART

[@yuyuhh-rx3xi]

昨日たまアリ最終日参加させて頂きました。昨日の羽生さんのバラ１は なんら数ミリの衰えもなくそれどころか今季最高得点でもいい位の出来でした。それは今でも現役以上に努力をしていられるからだと思います。どうか怪我がしないよう祈ります。

[@fusen-xj8sp]

羽生結弦選手、五輪連覇🥇おめでとうございます🎊 ぴょん落ちなので、生で見れてませんが😢テレビで見て感動しました‼️ こんなに美しいスケーターでお顔も美しく、スタイルも抜群で人間として出来た方は少なくともフィギュア界にはいないと思います🥹

Hello, check out his interpretation of Saint-Saëns Rondo Capriccioso. Just search "Yuzuru Hanyu Rondo Capriccioso JNATS 2021" , it's a piano version performed by Shinya Kiyozuka 😁

Chopin's Ballade No. 1 is in it's own class. No matter how many times you have watched it, you will still get mesmerised and fully absorbed into the program. This program is in another realm of its own.

スタイルが良すぎる！！まさしく神に選ばれたスケーター！！

He is a miracle that has landed on the ice.

[@manolitajully660]

After each performance, he stays longer with the audience to acknowledge them with his bows, ……how can the audience not love him….

[@rin-chan3017]

Watching the new generation of almost purely technical figure skating always makes me want to watch Yuzu's performances... so here I am again, praying that someday figure skating will become art again.

[@maracuyaicecream]

The King of figure skating, the GOAT, pure perfection, both technically and artistically, just Yuzuru Hanyu 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
