Yuzuru HANYU vs Nathan CHEN: Quads

Yuzuru Hanyu (羽生 結弦, Hanyū Yuzuru, born December 7, 1994) is a Japanese figure skater who competes in the men's singles discipline. He is a two-time Olympic champion (2014, 2018), a two-time World champion (2014, 2017), a four-time Grand Prix Final champion (2013-2016), a Four Continents champion (2020), the 2010 World Junior champion, the 2009-10 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, and a four-time Japanese national champion (2012-2015). Upon winning the 2020 Four Continents Championships, Hanyu became the first and only male singles skater to achieve a Super Slam, having won all major competitions in his senior and junior career.
Hanyu has broken world records nineteen times-the most times amongst singles skaters since the introduction of the ISU Judging System in 2004. He holds the current world record for the short program, in addition to the historical world records for all three segments for the era before the 2018-19 season. He is the first man to have broken the 100-point barrier in the men's short program, the 200-point barrier in the men's free skating, and the 300-point barrier in the combined total score.
Hanyu is the first Asian figure skater competing in men's singles to win the Olympic gold. At nineteen years old, he was the youngest male skater to win the Olympic title since Dick Button in 1948. He also became the first man to win two consecutive Olympic gold medals since Button's back-to-back titles in 1948 and 1952. At the 2016 CS Autumn Classic International, Hanyu became the first skater in history to successfully land a quadruple loop in competition. He is the first men's singles skater from Asia to win multiple World Championships.
•
Nathan Chen (born May 5, 1999) is an American figure skater who competes in the men's singles discipline. He is a two-time World champion (2018, 2019), a 2018 Winter Olympic bronze medalist in the team event, the 2017 Four Continents champion, three-time Grand Prix Final champion (2017, 2018, 2019), and four-time U.S. national champion (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020). Chen is the first skater to have landed five types of quadruple jumps in competitions: toe loop, Salchow, loop, flip and Lutz.
On the junior level, Chen is the 2015-16 Junior Grand Prix Final champion, 2013-14 Junior Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, and 2014 World Junior bronze medalist.

Really??!! Hanyu has never been a skater like Patrick Chan was. For example, I've always felt that Rachmaninoff's Elegie was a piece perfect for skating; when Patrick Chan skated to it as his short program my reaction was "Patrick is the absolute right guy to skate to that." I've never said that about any program of Hanyu's. Nathan's signature short program IMO is his "Caravan" program with "La Boheme" and "Nemesis" vying for second while "Rocketman" is his signature long. I can honestly say none of Hanyu's program are memorable IMO; they all look the same: Hanyu skating in front of the music, never interpreting the music. Seimei is particularly my least favorite as it's a sad appeal to Onmyoji which was popular at the time and shows no sign of Japanese court culture or dance.

[@babybearandco]

The difference between Nathan and Yuzu is that Nathan helps to emphasise the true difficulty and power it takes to do these moves. They aren't just seamless done, there is raw power and skill. Yuzuru, however, has the amazing ability to make his jumps appear like they are as easy as walking. He just seems to travel. Despite the huge amount of pressure, he makes it seem effortless. Weightless

[@9afina]

yuzuru doesnt seem to show the effort that a jump takes at all in the takeoff - definitely sometimes in the landing, but the takeoff is always somehow composed and elegant

Also I noticed that for some reason Yuzu looks like he can delay his rotations mid air? Very noticeable whenever his jump covers a wide distance, typically his toe, sal, and axel. He looks like he's flying. Then his Lutz, 3L or 4L it's just...a marvel. It may be quick but done so intricately.

[@harumih.3727]

There is a clear difference in the ways to take off, and land onto the ice. The crew members who work on the ice conditions are aware of it. One of them said that there were always holes, squid marks and cuts left after skaters finished their performances, but when Yuzuru finished his performance, the ice condition remained good, no squid marks or holes on the ice. That is the proof that Yuzuru jumps, taking off and landing without body weight or forceful move. He jumps skillfully without forces and lands with the natural gravity, so no resistance with the air is required. That is why we can see his jumps so natural and seamless.

Nathan - stronger jumps with more force, athletic, compact, air position is a bit inconsistent, hard landing with not much flow. Hanyu - lighter jumps like a feather, graceful, consistent air position, more distance, smooth landing with more flow.

Chen's jumps are not so smooth because he makes the maximum number of revolutions in the air, Hanyu steals revolutions both on the take off and on the landing.

Even when Yuzuru fulfills all the criteria in the IJS, his GOE is still lower than it should be. His jumps have the kind of entrances that no other skater has out there, not even Nathan Chen. It is amazing that Yuzuru has managed to accomplish everything that he has when the ISU have been underscoring him for most of his career. Nathan has brought a mechanical element to an artistic sport. I don't feel anything when I watch him skate whereas with Yuzuru, I feel like I'm taken on journey. Even when he falls, I can feel the precise moment he sinks back into his program and gives it his all. I just --- I feel like Nathan is being propped up by the ISU to the take top spot. He has his jumps but his performances look rigid and like he's thinking the whole way through. He never gets lost in it and for that reason, I can't get lost in it. The in-between moments looks like he's just lining up for his next technically precise jump. It looks like work. Maybe his depiction is more honest for that reason. But when Yuzu skates. My God, you feel like it's magic. He makes you feel like he's a divine, ethereal creature that decided to grace mere mortals with his presence. Lol.

[@Aligueri]

I'm sooooo agree with you! Nathan is a great skater - very skillful, talented and hardworker. But Yuzuru...his skating is just divine! He forgets everything while skating, he is so honest in his skating to audience and himself. So I guess we feel the same to him and that's why he is loved by so many people everywhere - he is so honest and fearless ❤️

For me it’s the fact that Yuzuru seamlessly blends his jumps into routines and there’s little to no build of when a jump is coming. Honestly he’s so fluid and to me that’s just aww inspiring. Nathan is very athletic, his power is raw and incredibly masculine which is rare to see in figure skating in full force and I think that’s why I like seeing his stuff too. Still.... there’s just something about Yuzuru that makes me swoon and I simply can’t deny he’s my fave skater to watch pretty much ever.

Nathan Is a great athlete. Yuzuru is a great athlete and great artist. Nathan has power, but Yuzuru’s flow and grace is unbelievable. Nathan’s artistic expression is on par with most skaters, which is going through the motions with music without much emotion behind the movements. Yuzuru is one with the music. He uses his whole body to express emotions. He puts his heart and soul into each program and every movement is expressive down to his fingertips. There is no wasted movement in his programs. Every little move has meaning. I’ve seen such level of artistry in many dancers but very rarely have I seen it in figure skaters.

[@bluevortexpng1211]

absolutely! a lot more effort has to go into making the jumps as graceful and seemingly effortless as yuzuru does it. artistry and athleticism are not mutually exclusive/opposite concepts in skating because you need to be more athletic to have a greater artistry. not to mention the fact that out of the two of them yuzuru was the one attempting to land a quadruple axel!

Yuzu is a phenomenal athlete with excellent technique on all of his jumps, but he didn't do "the same jumps" as Nathan. Yuzu only landed the 4Lz twice while Nathan landed it consistently throughout his career, including in combination. Furthermore, Nathan landed the 4F as a solo jump and in combination while Yuzu never attempted it in competition. With these being the 2nd and 3rd most difficult quad jumps (neither of them landed the quad axel), it's understandable that Nathan scored higher than Yuzu in many competitions, even when Yuzu's transitions and artistry were at a higher level

[@EM-rm2xh]

Wish people in the comments would stop saying this is "artistry" versus "technique." This is technique vs technique. Speed, ice covereage, and edge control into and out of jumps IS technique PERIOD. That's the entire reason GOE (grade of execution) exists. The fact of the matter is that while Nathan is an amazing and consistent athelete, he is given GOE that is undeserved while Yuzuru is not given proper GOE (and that comes down to figure skating politics and improper judging). This IS NOT a battle between artistry and athleticism; it's a battle in Yuzuru not getting proper scoring for having more difficult transitions into/out of jumps, better speed, and more flow (in general). And this is no hate to Nathan who is an absolutely amazing skater btw. People always talk about "artistry" when it comes to scoring which is a shame.....clearly GOE is being manipulated in the current judging system to boost certain skaters despite them not checking all the required marks. Multiple skaters are getting GOE scores undeserved for simply executing a jump clean (and skaters like Yuzuru do not get the scores they deserve for difficult technical elements). Also, before I'm attacked, Nathan even has jumps that are executed better than his other jumps and yet he'll get higher GOEs on a jump that had less flow/difficult entry and exit/etc. Judging in figure skating has completely ruined the sport. Complete lack of consitency.

Thank you for this comment. We are literally comparing their JUMPS. not their skating. What art are they talking about? And those comments get so many likes 🤦‍♀️🙄

[@via45]

I completely agree, but I would also like to say that. There is a artistry to the jumps, it's the choice of how to do them which combines them together, technicality is just the execution of them. Yuzuru is a prime example of choosing artistry over technical with his choice of jumps despite it being scored lower, he takes the larger risk. Hopefully they will change the system to actually improve the quality and variety of style to FS. Btw I am a newb and so all my opinions are based of having surface observation so correct me if I'm wrong. Unaware of how the judging system is exaclty against him.

The biggest difference between Yuzuru and Nathan’s jumps is you always tell when Nathan is about to jump but Yuzu blends all of his jumps in the music and gestures without long time jumping preparation. However, yuzu’s GOE scores never reflect this on. That’s kind of sad 😢 the judges should all be fair.

[@drixcek9782]

You can always tell someone does certain jump stop lying. Some jumps literally have to have them slow down or turn around.

Nathan is the "king" of quads, so they are announced prior to the jump. But he is becoming a more subtle, softer "king". It is nicer to watch. He as "king" however must maintain the jumps in a pristine disposition.

[@poorapueblo8405]

I agree. For me, the saddest part about the sport's emphasis on jumping is how it impoverishes the rest of the program for most skaters, who telegraph their jumps so much that there's practically nothing else but filler around spectacular leaps. But not Hanyu: his jumps are integrally part of his overall theme, and he just flows into them and out of them seamlessly. I have nothing against Chen (except his ugly & boring costume choices), but without the jumps I don't think his programs would be very interesting to watch.

Thank you for everything you have offered the world so far! My eyes have seldom seen such beauty as you have given us. I wish you eternal success, a light and beautiful life, just like your presentations! ETERNAL CONGRATULATIONS!!! God bless you! You are the best of the best! I saw Narhan's performance four times. He doesn't convince me. The only strong point in his skating is only a different jump. He is cold, inexpressive, emotioness, and gross, coarse, in his moviments. Like a stone in a lace. Nothing artistic

[@greenpuffle]

I think that Nathan is more of what I personally call a base-value jumper. That's saying he actually does all the jumps properly, with no cheats. Executed, but still some ways to boost GOE. I think being able to do all the quads properly (with the exception of the axel) is already a huge advantage, whether or not they deserve positive GOEs. Just the base value alone and PCS to support them puts him in contention for gold every single time. The GOEs can be somewhat inflated imo, which is a little upsetting. What's even more upsetting is how the ISU rewards so many skaters nowadays with ratified quads AND positive GOEs, when they aren't honestly deserving of the base values in the first place. Off the top of my head, the only big quad jumpers who deserve their entire quad repertoire ratified are Yuzuru, Nathan and Jin Boyang. It's a very interesting battle between them jump wise; for Yuzuru his quality is unmatched, but he's trying to up his jump quantity. Chen's jump quantity is unmatched, but he's trying to up his quality. They're both in very good spots in the Quality VS Quantity spectrum because they've got both in varying degrees. Yuzuru's repertoire is not as impressive as Chen, but Yuzu's greatest strength is his balance of difficult jumps and quality. He doesn't necessarily weild the 4Lz like Chen or Boyang does, where Chen is almost guaranteed to land his 4Lz or 4F when planned. (The only skaters to really benefit from the 4Lz is really only Jin and Nathan at this point.) Chen definitely wins quantity wise, but for quality: Yuzuru's best 4T and 4S however will top Nathan's best 4T and 4S. It's all so exciting and nerve racking because the way they'd win gold is slightly different yet evenly matched. They're both brilliant in their unique ways.

@@MC-pm3gp That may be true but I also think that Hanyu, when he does land the jumps, has a more pure flawless quality. That being said, Nathan is like a machine and can do things endurance-wise ie jumps late in the program that the world has never seen. Nathan's power and explosiveness is nothing the world has ever seen before him. Hanyu's jumps in general are more technically perfect in terms of technique and aesthetics than anybody except for how he stops the rotation and does not really come up and out with his free leg. Kolyada does the up and out with his free leg with textbook perfection even on his quad Lutz that he hardly has ever landed in competition. I was hoping for some great things with him working with Mishin this year but he's still not doing more than one or two quad toes and a triple Axel double toe combo. He is making small mistakes like bobbling a triple Axel landing. Those kinds of stupid mistakes really put him at a disadvantage to Hanyu and Nathan where physically he has better posture, spins, skating skills and better looking 4Lutz..... I was hoping big things for Kolyada but I am afraid mentally he will never be able to bridge the gap and so the 5 quads he would need to do consistently to be in the mix and put pressure on Chen and Hanyu.

I constantly watch snowboarding in the winter games, and nearly everyone can pull of the same moves, but snowboarding is fun nonetheless, even when there's less awe factor about pulling off certain moves. And then there's figure skating which I've always thought was such a boring, repetitive sport to watch. Everyone basically does the same thing. Some do it a bit more better than the others, some do it with such power (like Nathan), some with more elegance. Then there's Yuzuru. The first time I saw him perform was to Seimei in 2018. And I swear to god I couldn't believe what I was seeing then. There was so much power and strength in all the movement that he did, yet somehow it was so beautiful and flowed like water or air. I can't think of any other way to describe Yuzu's skating other than he is literally the embodiment of what figure skating is meant to be.

No, I don't know these people you mentioned but I'm sure they are exceptional. But they won't change the figure skating the way Yuzuru did. You're clearly a hater of Yuzuru and I'm very sorry for you. Carry on believing that the earth is square and don't forget to put your socks for Santa give your presents. Happy Christmas !

@@theakyosmith Sasha Trusova brought along the women’s quad revolution, 3 out of the 5 quad jumps that women have attempted she did first(quad toe loop, quad flip, and quad lutz, and some people say she did the first quad sal) and Ilia Malinin was the first to do the quad axel at just 17! He’ll also be attempting to land quints next season. How can you be a figure skating fan without knowing their names? Ilia just won Skate America!

@@theakyosmith Sasha revolutionized women’s skating more than Yuzuru did to men’s skating. That’s just the facts. Women didn’t do quads before Sasha.
