I think the issue here is that he was so much more, so much better than results and records actually give him credit for. He is, and will probably be for generations to come, the best skater to ever grace the ice. Absolute technical perfection, incredible artistry, he never cut corners when it came to the quality of his performances. No matter how injured or sick, and he's been injured or sick for most of his career, he always gave his best. He was mistreated by judges, mistreated by other skater's fans, received lower scores than he deserved, yet he kept competing till he deemed it unnecessary, till he was satisfied. He is what every other skater should aspire to be, and he made history each time he went on the ice. He is the definition of greatest of all time. Words can't really explain how much better than everybody else in his field he was, and still is, even now that he's an extremely successful Pro athlete. Watching him compete is an absolute pleasure and people should be thankful they're alive to witness his greatness.
Best comment. No score or medal can do justice to his greatness. He’s bigger than the sport. If FS judging was fair, if the bunch of elite skaters have 9s in PCS, Hanyu should have 15s. Same for jumps as his techniques are always way above the rest of the field.
Watching his interview post-retirement was so heartbreaking. He was so aware of the fact that he is underappreciated, but it was hearing him say "am i no longer wanted" hat made me so angry. They do not deserve him.
@@yunnn2654 it’s truly upsetting to see. Such a talent deserved to be praised, not hindered with. He deserved to win virtually every competition, while if we look at his scores and results, it looks like his technique and ability declined in the last 4-5 years. I will never forget them for doing that to him.
For a genuine fan of figure skating, the performance should be combined with both technic & artistry. It should not just jump like a mudskipper. Or else the music means nothing at all. And Yuzuru Hanyu is the only skater who can bring the crowds' soul into the music. That's his talent based on extraordinary skating skill.
I would argue that there is also other skaters who can make the music alive, especially in the women's disclipine (Evgenia Medvedeva, Kamila Valieva, both absolutely magical performers). But Hanyu is the best male skater in that area by a mile and most complete backage in terms of longevity, technique and results among any disclipines. He truly mastered his craft.
@@kaamoskukkia Yes, I quite agree many other good skaters can make the music alive. But Yuzuru's performance can deeply touch crowds' soul, because he truly perform with his whole spirit and soul. It makes the difference. And that's why he can get so much fans' love all over the world even he failed in Peking Olympic Game. Fans can live without 4A, but cannot without his performances.
@@janeko7915 you're so right. There are skaters who can dance to music and I must there are quite a number from the past. But none can perform like Hanyu. When he skates he owns the whole ice rink and the venue. It is as if he creates a world from his skating and you're attracted to it. Hypnotising and spellbinding.
Yuzuru Hanyu is a legend in the sport, but he transcends it too. He is a superstar and one of, if not the most, popular athelete in Japan. His accomplishments (2 Olympic, 2 worlds, 4 gpf, 1 4CC, numerous nationals golds, 19 world records) are impressive beyond belief, but his talent truly lies beyond that. Hanyu competed for three olympic cycles and competed at the highest level since 2012 which is remarkable for sport that can be so damaging to your body. Hanyu overcame so many injuries like his recurring right ankle (the landing ankle) injury that nearly benched him from 2018 Pyeongchang and the gruesome collision at 2014 Cup of China that no one would've blamed him if he decided to hang up his skates. He constantly strove for improvement with trying different quads, but also maximizing his points in his spins and choreographic elements. He has such a mental fortitude that he can rearrange his layout mid-performance to account for earlier mistakes. He also is a great sport and was friendly with many of his rivals (Javi, Nathan, Shoma, etc) even when he received a lot of hate (especially in his early career). He overcame other significant challenges such as the 2011 earthquake and tsumani in Japan that devestated his hometown and destroyed his ice rink while he was still in it. He then participated in ice shows to both raise money for disaster relief as well as have ice to train on so he could still compete in competitions. He donated the prize money from both of his Olympic victories to earthquake relief. He participated fully in every aspect of skating, from cutting his own music, being very involved in the choreography, coming up with his own program ideas, and even coaching himself during the pandemic when he could not return to Canada. I think the most amazing thing about Hanyu was that he loved the sport like no other. Even after he won all the major competitions available and won 2 olympic golds (in a sport where you can only get one individual medal at the Olympics), he continued to skate and push the sport when many others would've retired once they hit their peak. He is definitely one of the reasons more and more people are getting into skating because he is a legend. Long rant but I really love the legacy Hanyu brings to the sport.
Encantada de leerte. Es en verdad un héroe en una era miserable para el FS amateur. Su legado nunca será superado y en este siglo siquiera igualado. Gracias por escribir con tanta pasión de él y deseando que el FS amateur se salve. No sería justo para nadie que este deporte muera por los malos manejos... Y lo mejor que nos podría pasar es que Hanyu Sama creará su propia liga competitiva y al final la isu y federaciones entiendan que es 2023 y la IA debe hacerse cargo de los puntajes cómo ya sucede con la gimnasia otro deporte que casi se extingue debido a cierta renuncia y pensamientos retrógradas de sus dirigentes.
Wow 😍 es muy conmovedor este comentario... Soy nueva fans desde febrero de 2024 y yuzuru hanyu es de lo mejor que me ha pasado en mi vida... Ha sido un descubrimiento fascinante... Su vida en su misma es digna de admirar y respetar... Yuzuru Hanyu no es una persona común... Es un ser humano maravilloso y especial...🌍🌸🍃🌿😭
He is definitely a master in terms of athleticism, musical interpretation, and artistry. He also has the most charismatic personality and connection to audiences of any skater. He will always be considered the complete package and now, as a professional, continues to draw loyal and loving fanyus from around the world.
Yuzuru was, is and will always be the 🐐 Unparalleled in terms of achievements, skills and he's also an amazing person. No amount of underscoring and lack of fed support could stop him. His only rival has ever been himself. His impact on the sport and how he continues to evolve as a pro athlete now even after achieving everything are unmatched!
Hanyu is a living LEGEND. The One in lifetime skater. And he is still improving his already perfect skating skills. He is even greater that Figure Skating Sport itself. I am happy and proud that I am living in the same era with the Greatest of all time 😊 Hanyu is not just outstanding skater but also great scientist, producer and ineradicable human being with the purest soul, unbreakable fighting spirit and mesmerizing intelligence. I am learning from him every day.
Yes. He is the greatest skater who has ever graced the ice. He may not be the best, his records might be broken a couple of times, but he did set the bar up high which is why up until this day, even when he retired competitively, Yuzuru Hanyu's name will always be mentioned and used in competitions to come. The mob actually judges how iconic a person is, and Hanyu Yuzuru's legacy is evident by his huge supporters all around the world. Plus, he has a great personality, and the world recognizes that.
Yuzuru Hanyu is the example of hard hard hard work. It's something instilled in Japanese athletes. They are determined and never ever give up. I'm learning from them each day. Everytime I think of giving up because I'm so tired, I think of Yuzuru!
I’ve been a fan of Yuzu for almost 10 years. He inspired me to start dancing, get into and graduate from music school, and now I’ve started to learn figure skating. He just makes me want to be the best version of myself. Thank you, Yuzu ❤
He is legendary… I am sorry to say, there will be no one from history or the future can be even compared to this man. The way he skate is absolutely it’s own style, is like a feather 🪶 on the ice. He is simply beautiful 🙇🏻♂️
Hanyu caught my attention when he was only sixteen , at some Grand Prix final wich he didn't win that year, but , from that moment I never ceased to watch him grow as a skilled figure skater and a great ice artist. For he posesses that unique combination of the best technical skills, and that natural grace, and power to conquer the public's hearts with his artistry...
He was and still IS the Best! Imagine now being free and unleashing all his creativity ! We, his fans, are always looking forward to his next performance, be it lasting 1 min or 4 we know he will pour in it all his emotions and grace leaving us speechless.
What I love the most about him was his versatility and ability to convincingly interpret totally different roles. He was sensual in Sochi, light and aetherial in the Chopin piece and some of the more delicate numbers, grave, grounded and spiritual in his Seimei piece and badass in the 'Let me entertain you' skate. And in all of them it felt as it that is his lifelong signature. Just a sublime artist
No other figure skater managed to enchant me as much as yuzuru. I was interested in figure skating before but never really watched it, till I discovered yuzuru and completely fell in love with the sport again. His like straight out of an anime or manga and just oozes that main character energy
It is not just enough to be an excellent skater, you have to be able to transcend your emotion, technique, and choreography to the audience. YH has the innate ability to do this, on so many levels. He is truly the GOAT of mens figure skating, he most definitely made his mark…who can EVER forget his winning skate to Parisienne Walkways, absolutely brilliant both in interpretation and execution.
i always viewed figure skating as that "ooh cool they dance on ice, that's nice must have taken a lot of training" until i saw yuzuru hanyu perform, he was just on another level, his performances showed me the beauty of this sport and you can tell that he loves and he is proud of his art
Not to mention he is such a great athlete performing in top competition in 10 years! And still medal! Being great for a season or two is quite common, but he is great for 10 years, making the biggest skating fans!
Yuzuru has the perfect combination of yin/yang, beauty/strength, artistry/technique and maintains a humble yet competitive spirit. This is why I think he is an exceptional athlete we will likely not see again for a long time. So glad to have witnessed his work. ✨
I like this video. All the adjectives you used was on point! Yuzuru Hanyu is the GOAT in figure skating. He's not there to do what's already in there to do. He's there to do what he can do and be the standard. The perfect embodiment of figure skating. The most complete figure skater. How can such talents, skills and outstanding personality fits into one person. God is truly amazing. He knows Yuzu is the best to be gifted by all these. Didn't he inpired so many people in the world by his skating. Truly amazing. Magnificent! The best ever!
is this even a question? just find a small clip of his 4Lz. It's scary how athletic he has to be to do that and do it well. no cheating in the prerotation.
Hanyu is the first male figure skater that l was tempted to watch, and his programmes are such masterpieces they leave nearly everyone else behind, even if their scores are higher. His routines are pieces of art, the way he combines skating with music, choreography and expression is unbeatable. I have also great admiration for his choreographers. Thank you for putting it together. It would be nice if there were pieces of Seimei and not Origin programme when you talk anout it.
I am not a devoted fan of the sport, but it seems like there's a crisis. Or two, actually. The first blatant issue are the judges. I don't think there is a single figure skater or fan who is happy with how points are awarded in the current system. Second, figure skating is simultaneous dancing and acrobatics. Those elements are not necessarily in conflict, but because of the points system, skaters are driven to focus on the jumps so much that it comes at the expense of the flow of the performance. And everybody is talking about this! At this point, they might as well change the SP-FS system into one where the skaters have a jumping routine without music and a separate dancing routine :p
Exactly! Hanyu is the first male figure skater that got me into watching the sport when I first say him at the first Olympics and I was mesmerized. And that start me keeping up male figure skating and it was so much fun. I thought when Hanyu retired I would still watch male figure skating was so much fun to watch but over the years I watched the sport change drastically. I couldn’t wait to see the newer skater to see what personality and charm they bought but that didn’t happen. When the change the scoring system changed to favor more the jumps, it ruined the sport. All I was watching was the young man jumping the whole time and there’s was no skating, no artistry, no charisma, no personality, no fun. It was boring and frustrating to watch. It didn’t feel like ice skating, it became ice jumping. I have lost all interest in male figure skating after Hanyu retire because he was the only reason I was watch the last year or 2. It’s horrible what happened to male figure skating and whoever decide to change the scoring system are absolutely idiots and should be fire and remove from the panel permanently.
After watching this video, I googled about Yuzuru. Here’s what I found: he broke World Record 19 times, holds all three men’s singles World Records under the -3 +3 GOE system (Short program 112.72; Long program 223.20; Combined total 330.43), and produced tons of “First”: 2011 - 1. Youngest male single skater (16) to win medal at 4CC 2012 - 1. Youngest Japanese male single skater (17) to win medal at WC 2014 - 1. First skater to surpass 100 pts in short program (Olympic 2014) 2. First Asian Male skater to win Olympic 3. Youngest single male skater (19) to win Olympic since Dick Button (1948) 4. First and only Asian skater to win Olympic, WC, and GPF in the same season besides Alexei Yagudin and Aljona Savchenko & Bruno Massot (pairs) 5. First and only skater across all disciplines to win Olympic and GPF in the same calendar year 2015 - 1. First skater to surpass 200 pts in long program and 300 pts in combined total (NHK Trophy) 2. New record for the largest victory margin (major international senior event) across all disciplines (37.48 pts) 2016 - 1. First and only single skater to win GPF 4 consecutive years besides Meryl Davis & Charlie White (pairs) 2. First skater to successfully land quad loop in international competition (CS Autumn Classic) 2017 - 1. First Asian male skater to win multiple WC 2. First skater to land 3 quadruple jumps in 2nd half of a long program (World Team Trophy) 3. By landing quad lutz with positive goe, Hanyu debuted 4 types of quadruple jumps in international competition with a 100% success rate (Rostelecom Cup) 2018 - 1. First male skater to win back to back Olympic since Dick Button in 66 years 2. First single skater to be ranked #1 in world standing for 5 consecutive seasons 3. First skater to land quad toe loop-triple axel in international competition (GP of Helsinki) 2019 - 1. New record for the largest victory margin in the GP series (59.82 pts, Skate Canada) 2. First skater to land quad toe loop-Euler-triple flip with 20.90 pts in international competition (Skate Canada) 2020 - 1. First male single skater to achieve Super Slam, winning all available major international senior and junior titles 2021 - 1. Second and only male single skater after Jan Hoffmann to win 7 WC medals since 1946 2. Hanyu landed his 50th triple axel with positive GOE in his 51st international senior short program (WC) 2022 - 1. First skater to jump a certified qual axel in Olympic game 2. First professional SOLO ice skating show “Prologue” (sold-out show, produced & directed by Hanyu) 2023 (as of June 15) - 1. First-ever SOLO figure skating performance at Tokyo Dome with 35,000 audiences and another 30,000 viewing live at theaters across Japan and overseas, and many more watching online livestreams 2. First self-produced ensemble show since turning professional, “Notte Stellata”, merging the sports of artistic gymnastics and figure skating for the first time (sold-out shows: 6,000 audiences each day for 3 consecutive days, and screened live at movie theaters in Japan, Hong Kong, & Taiwan)
Yuzuru is a spiritual successor to Toller Cranston, Brasseur & Eisler, Surya Bonaly, and Philippe Candeloro, great skill, but a greater showman. The sport desperately needs a few more like him because it's dying by the quadfest badly.

Hanyu is great but this video is full of errors. I finally decided I would comment when you were talking about Seimei (say-may) while showing his Origen program. 🙄 oh well, again, Hanyu probably will go down in history as the best ever so in that respect, good job.
Watching him on Beijing olympics the most magical thing witnessed, and would ever witness. Everytime he was on the ice, I wasnt able to look away for even a second. Theres really something about his technique and artistry...That even when witnessing a bunch of also talented and graceful skaters, you'd still remember in detail the way he glides on ice.... IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT YEAH. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT WAS GREAT. REALLY REALLY REALLY GREAT. I WASNT REALLY A FAN OR INTERESTED IN ICE SKATING BUT AT THAT MOMENT I WAS SPEECHLESS AND I FELT LIKE CRYING ON THE SPOT ISTG. I LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF IT.
Nu a fost ci este, dovada o fac spectacolele pe care le da si arenele pline! Înca nu are egal pentru ca este un atlet complet, la el tehnica se împleteste cu talentul coregrafic cum rar poti sa vezi! De ce are fani în întraga lume? Pentru ca reuseste sa își transpuna emotiile pe gheata, el nu face spectacol, el traieste muzica, impresioneaza privitorii si creaza tsunami de sentimente si trairi! EL ESTE CAPRA!
That’s all true but it is also worth mentioning that at first Yuzuru was poorly excepted by the audience. His performances were criticised at the beginning of his career especially when he won the Japanese Nationals title back in 2012. So the way he proved everybody is just astonishing. Also yet breaking numerous world records he was still underscored consistently
Yuzuru was actually pretty well-loved and his skating had quite a following even before 2012. Even when he was winning everything in juniors, fs fans and media noted that he was a prodigy and predicted that Yuzu will become the face of the sport back then. He was the complete package who only got better later on in order to beat Patrick for the ogm in Sochi. The reason he was treated poorly at japanese nationals 2012 was because he beat the federation's heavy favorite daisuke and it was a fair win. It wasn't due to his performance which was quite solid. His own countrymen (Daisuke's notorious fans) booed a 17 year old, the officials were mad and it was so bad that the booing was removed from the official footage and you can't find it anymore. Brian also mentioned it btw in an interview. Jsf's main head back then who is still very influential- Hashimoto (who had an obsession with daisuke) was also relentless in her mistreatment of Yuzu and tried to downplay his achievements whenever she could. Dai's fans and Hashimoto even kept disturbing Yuzu at the Sochi Olympics but it didn't work. Sorry for being long-winded but I thought about adding some context to what happened at jnats12 and the peculiarity of his federation. Regional politics go a long way in japanese fs. As a Sendai skater (which is not one of the powerhouses of japanese fs) without being signed to any agency, Yuzu always maintained his independence which was not well received by the old faction of japanese fs fans. Despite being a legend now, he has always been somewhat of an outsider and wasn't ever the favorite of his fed who didn't help with his training at tcc. They can't take credit for his accomplishments and that old faction who heavily support both mao and dai had harassed him and his family continuously throughout his career and as a matter of fact, they still do so even today. Thankfully Yuzu has so much support from all over the world and his skating is universally loved, those haters are a minority now and out of sight most of the time.
Yuzuru HANYU is The Best! He is Greatest of All Time. G.O.A.T. 🌟👑🥇⛸️⛸️🥇👑🌟 He is UNIQUE. Champion of Champions. I am so happy that I am here to witness this incredible person. 🌟❤️🙏🏻❤️🌟
While I appreciate figure skating content, I feel very disappointed in what was said in the video. For example, when talking about the Technical part of his skating, I was expecting remarks on unique details to him such as the entries or exits of his jumps, like the hard ones he uses on his triple axels... He is the best and will be for idk how long, and I feel like this video failed to fully capture how great he is
In the 12 years of competitive skating years, he might not have won all the competition but he was at least at the top 4 in his later years prior to retirement, which was not easy. Most men also lasted for max 5 years.
please, correct your mistakes. Yuzuru Hanyu is a GOAT and , honestly, try to be at least correct and thorough when you are talking about his programs. Please!
I think he's the greatest, but I also think he had a problem with consistency at times and struggled to skate a clean short and free throughout his career, particularly at the Olympics.
Most of the issues were due to his injuries. He had a horrible injury a few weeks before his last he was at the Olympics and greatly impacted him. He had multiple horrible injuries happen at or a few week before a huge competition happened and really effect his clean skates and jumps.
@@lunagrace2872 op has to be trolling coz Yuzu had a clean short in both Sochi and Pyeongchang despite a career ending injury in the latter one. He was even the first to break 100 in the sp at the age of 19 with a fabulous performance which still keeps drawing more new fans into the sport but they are eager to act like it never happened lmao.
th-cam.com/video/vJ27mUj2UyY/w-d-xo.html This is a video that was presented about a year ago. Ilia Kalinin has proven a better jumper since then and did not double foot or land awkwardly as Hanyu did twice in the 2018 Olympics or fall twice as Hanyu did in 2022. Even in 2012 you can see above how Hanyu's landings could be awkward. (5:20.) Ilia not only showed perfect, seemingly effortless quadruple and triple jumps and combination jumps at The World Championships in Montreal, he also executed great spins and at one point even raised his leg up almost vertically which is rarely done by a male skater. After his exhausting program of amazing GRACEFUL jumps and touchdowns to the ice, amazingly he even performed an energetic finale with additional gravity defying leaps and flawless landings. His every movement and gesture, even down to the pointing of his fingertips was synchronized with the hauntinlgy beautiful music. Hanyu endured the test of time with longevity but even if Kalinin never skated again, his performance in Montreal would go down as the greatest single performance of all time - at least until now.
Seriously? We come to praise Yuzu. He is who we love. You should know that. If you don't like to see his greatness compared to other skaters then you probably shouldn't watch a video where he is the subject and focus and go to where the others are. After all these years the Fanyus have left the comps along with Yuzu and we are free of the people who say we have to cheer all the skaters because actually we don't. He's on a different level and in a different place and most of us don't care about who he left behind or who the new guys are.
Weird that you characterize the Sochi performance as a masterpiece when he messed up 3 of his jumps. 2014 free skate was a disaster and this feels like misleading revisionism.
🎼🌞🎼 Коммент японца о Hanyu, - прочитанный год назад : "Гениальные люди не идеальны. Им это не нужно". Полностью согласна с первой фразой. А вторая - сомнительна. Каждый индивид, - гений он или нет - стремится к идеалу. Считать сочинскую FP - катастрофой : не от большого ума автора @Deedledave. Это заявление чисто буквалистское и умозрительное. Ещё древние говорили : нельзя поверить алгеброй ГАРМОНИЮ. Одни видят стакан - наполовину ПУСТОЙ, а другие - наполовину ПОЛНЫЙ. Предвзятое мнение - тоже мнение и я шокирована этим словом - "катастрофа", что явно ПЕРЕБОР !.. Количество просмотров именно этой FP, также как и других, в том ряду и пекинских прокатов SP и FP -- безмерно зашкаливают в цифрах. Спрашивается ПОЧЕМУ, - парадокс ?.. О нет ! Ларчик открывается ПРОСТО. Люди ищут ГАРМОНИЮ. Этой эфемерной субстанцией - любая программа Yuzuru насыщена до предела, - начиная с первых шагов фигуриста и до финальной мизансцены. Стабильность здорового и нездорового человека неравноценны. Человек с детства борется с нехваткой кислорода в организме ; какую стабильность нужда вам припала требовать от Hanyu ?.. Вы себе представляете в реале - что такое хроническая астма ? Спортсмен делает то, что может, по части техники, и всегда это на фоне тяжёлых травм. Страдают в этом случае - только прыжки. Но каков при этом накал самовыражения артистизма, пластической одухотворённости ?!! Катастрофа ... я бы ТАК назвала, скорее ваш коммент. Вот это, - действительно : КАТАСТРОФА вселенского масштаба ...
@FanyuHanyuI never said I didn't like him though. He's my favourite male skater of all time, and I'd much prefer an error-ridden skate over Chen's robotic skates. However, it's not wrong to say that Hanyu struggled with consistency and he rarely skated his short and free cleanly. Part of that was because of injury, and part of that may have been because of the demands he placed on his slight frame to achieve what he achieved. I don't know. But we can acknowledge his greatness while also admitting that he had weaknesses in his performances - namely, skating clean and consistently.
How good was he actually? He was great, but not as great as it seems at first sight. Never managed to go back to back at worlds. The titles he did win had tiny margins over the 2nd place athletes, compared with runaway victories that Nathan Chen had over Hanyu (and others) in his wins. Yes, he broke many WRs, but what is a world record worth if it's so easy to break? I'd rather have one unbreakable record that lasts for years than multiple ones that get broken literally 5 minutes later. Hanyu had two lucky wins at the Olympics and that completely distorts the whole picture of him being a great, but VERY inconsistent skater. Nathan's arrival to the senior stage in 2016 brutally exposed everything that Hanyu was lacking. And on top of that, his artistry is very overrated. As a former dancer, sometimes it's painful to watch his limp arms and unpointed toes. His lack of dance background is glaring.
You must have a real sad life that you had to find this video and write this two page long essay on how 'bad' he is according to you......man you are even a bigger fan than most of us let me tell you
@ruby6555 one of a kind =/= GOAT there are a lot of skaters who are one of a kind. Doesn't make them GOATs. Should I start quoting Arutyunyan about how Nathan is one of a kind? Nathan has not been replaced lmao has Ilia won any gold medals yet? broken any WRs? Y'all wish Nathan would be mediocre or forgotten, but unfortunately for you, everyone in the skating world who is not a fanyu, loves and remembers him. Keep crying about it.
@@Unfiltered494 is that why a heir to throne narrative is being passed around regarding hanyu, who will be the new face of figure skating,who will take hanyus place. Every new talented skater gets compared to hanyu, the amount of times his name has been passed by commentators this season be that jr or SR comp , why is it even if Nathan had dominated this sport people hold hanyu as golden standard also just for your information Nathan has not defeated a clean (both sp and FP) once, yuzuru hanyu is the standard be that jumps or skating skills and also Nathan has already been replaced by his fed in favour of ilia, Nathan used land 5 quads ilia can land six so isn't he already greater by your standard but there have not been a second hanyu because no one can measure up to those standards

I think the issue here is that he was so much more, so much better than results and records actually give him credit for. He is, and will probably be for generations to come, the best skater to ever grace the ice. Absolute technical perfection, incredible artistry, he never cut corners when it came to the quality of his performances. No matter how injured or sick, and he's been injured or sick for most of his career, he always gave his best. He was mistreated by judges, mistreated by other skater's fans, received lower scores than he deserved, yet he kept competing till he deemed it unnecessary, till he was satisfied.
He is what every other skater should aspire to be, and he made history each time he went on the ice. He is the definition of greatest of all time. Words can't really explain how much better than everybody else in his field he was, and still is, even now that he's an extremely successful Pro athlete.
Watching him compete is an absolute pleasure and people should be thankful they're alive to witness his greatness.
Best comment. No score or medal can do justice to his greatness. He’s bigger than the sport. If FS judging was fair, if the bunch of elite skaters have 9s in PCS, Hanyu should have 15s. Same for jumps as his techniques are always way above the rest of the field.
@penny, so well said. I have read many comments about what makes Yuzuru great. Yours have to be the best.
👍
Watching his interview post-retirement was so heartbreaking. He was so aware of the fact that he is underappreciated, but it was hearing him say "am i no longer wanted" hat made me so angry. They do not deserve him.
@@yunnn2654 it’s truly upsetting to see. Such a talent deserved to be praised, not hindered with. He deserved to win virtually every competition, while if we look at his scores and results, it looks like his technique and ability declined in the last 4-5 years. I will never forget them for doing that to him.
For a genuine fan of figure skating, the performance should be combined with both technic & artistry.
It should not just jump like a mudskipper.
Or else the music means nothing at all.
And Yuzuru Hanyu is the only skater who can bring the crowds' soul into the music.
That's his talent based on extraordinary skating skill.
I would argue that there is also other skaters who can make the music alive, especially in the women's disclipine (Evgenia Medvedeva, Kamila Valieva, both absolutely magical performers). But Hanyu is the best male skater in that area by a mile and most complete backage in terms of longevity, technique and results among any disclipines. He truly mastered his craft.
Yesss❤
@@kaamoskukkia
Yes, I quite agree many other good skaters can make the music alive.
But Yuzuru's performance can deeply touch crowds' soul, because he truly perform with his whole spirit and soul.
It makes the difference. And that's why he can get so much fans' love all over the world even he failed in Peking Olympic Game.
Fans can live without 4A, but cannot without his performances.

@@janeko7915 you're so right. There are skaters who can dance to music and I must there are quite a number from the past. But none can perform like Hanyu. When he skates he owns the whole ice rink and the venue. It is as if he creates a world from his skating and you're attracted to it. Hypnotising and spellbinding.
To be honest. I think Yuzuru is the best
He is the best
Yuzuru Hanyu is a legend in the sport, but he transcends it too. He is a superstar and one of, if not the most, popular athelete in Japan. His accomplishments (2 Olympic, 2 worlds, 4 gpf, 1 4CC, numerous nationals golds, 19 world records) are impressive beyond belief, but his talent truly lies beyond that. Hanyu competed for three olympic cycles and competed at the highest level since 2012 which is remarkable for sport that can be so damaging to your body. Hanyu overcame so many injuries like his recurring right ankle (the landing ankle) injury that nearly benched him from 2018 Pyeongchang and the gruesome collision at 2014 Cup of China that no one would've blamed him if he decided to hang up his skates. He constantly strove for improvement with trying different quads, but also maximizing his points in his spins and choreographic elements. He has such a mental fortitude that he can rearrange his layout mid-performance to account for earlier mistakes. He also is a great sport and was friendly with many of his rivals (Javi, Nathan, Shoma, etc) even when he received a lot of hate (especially in his early career). He overcame other significant challenges such as the 2011 earthquake and tsumani in Japan that devestated his hometown and destroyed his ice rink while he was still in it. He then participated in ice shows to both raise money for disaster relief as well as have ice to train on so he could still compete in competitions. He donated the prize money from both of his Olympic victories to earthquake relief. He participated fully in every aspect of skating, from cutting his own music, being very involved in the choreography, coming up with his own program ideas, and even coaching himself during the pandemic when he could not return to Canada. I think the most amazing thing about Hanyu was that he loved the sport like no other. Even after he won all the major competitions available and won 2 olympic golds (in a sport where you can only get one individual medal at the Olympics), he continued to skate and push the sport when many others would've retired once they hit their peak. He is definitely one of the reasons more and more people are getting into skating because he is a legend. Long rant but I really love the legacy Hanyu brings to the sport.
Encantada de leerte. Es en verdad un héroe en una era miserable para el FS amateur. Su legado nunca será superado y en este siglo siquiera igualado.
Gracias por escribir con tanta pasión de él y deseando que el FS amateur se salve. No sería justo para nadie que este deporte muera por los malos manejos... Y lo mejor que nos podría pasar es que Hanyu Sama creará su propia liga competitiva y al final la isu y federaciones entiendan que es 2023 y la IA debe hacerse cargo de los puntajes cómo ya sucede con la gimnasia otro deporte que casi se extingue debido a cierta renuncia y pensamientos retrógradas de sus dirigentes.
Very well said 👍👍
Wow 😍 es muy conmovedor este comentario... Soy nueva fans desde febrero de 2024 y yuzuru hanyu es de lo mejor que me ha pasado en mi vida... Ha sido un descubrimiento fascinante... Su vida en su misma es digna de admirar y respetar...
Yuzuru Hanyu no es una persona común... Es un ser humano maravilloso y especial...🌍🌸🍃🌿😭
He is definitely a master in terms of athleticism, musical interpretation, and artistry. He also has the most charismatic personality and connection to audiences of any skater. He will always be considered the complete package and now, as a professional, continues to draw loyal and loving fanyus from around the world.
Yuzuru was, is and will always be the 🐐
Unparalleled in terms of achievements, skills and he's also an amazing person. No amount of underscoring and lack of fed support could stop him. His only rival has ever been himself. His impact on the sport and how he continues to evolve as a pro athlete now even after achieving everything are unmatched!
If we're being honest, he makes the triple axel look easy. And his free skate at the 2018 Olympics was just glorious.
Hanyu is a living LEGEND. The One in lifetime skater. And he is still improving his already perfect skating skills. He is even greater that Figure Skating Sport itself. I am happy and proud that I am living in the same era with the Greatest of all time 😊 Hanyu is not just outstanding skater but also great scientist, producer and ineradicable human being with the purest soul, unbreakable fighting spirit and mesmerizing intelligence. I am learning from him every day.
Yes. He is the greatest skater who has ever graced the ice. He may not be the best, his records might be broken a couple of times, but he did set the bar up high which is why up until this day, even when he retired competitively, Yuzuru Hanyu's name will always be mentioned and used in competitions to come. The mob actually judges how iconic a person is, and Hanyu Yuzuru's legacy is evident by his huge supporters all around the world. Plus, he has a great personality, and the world recognizes that.
I wish I can do more "hands up" to your commentary. HE IS THE "GOAT". And he is a great personality
"He may not be the best" LOL ok dude
@@roroellies8188
Yeah. What does she mean by that ish?
He may not be the best? But he’s the greatest.. elegant, fluid, lovable etc3
@@roroellies8188 Yeh... really? Arguing semantics here? GOAT stands for "Greatest of All Time." I'd say that qualifies as "best!"
Yuzuru Hanyu is the example of hard hard hard work. It's something instilled in Japanese athletes. They are determined and never ever give up. I'm learning from them each day. Everytime I think of giving up because I'm so tired, I think of Yuzuru!
I’ve been a fan of Yuzu for almost 10 years. He inspired me to start dancing, get into and graduate from music school, and now I’ve started to learn figure skating. He just makes me want to be the best version of myself. Thank you, Yuzu ❤
He is legendary…
I am sorry to say, there will be no one from history or the future can be even compared to this man.
The way he skate is absolutely it’s own style, is like a feather 🪶 on the ice.
He is simply beautiful 🙇🏻♂️
Hanyu caught my attention when he was only sixteen , at some Grand Prix final wich he didn't win that year, but , from that moment I never ceased to watch him grow as a skilled figure skater and a great ice artist. For he posesses that unique combination of the best technical skills, and that natural grace, and power to conquer the public's hearts with his artistry...
he’s the GOAT no question 🙌🏻
He was and still IS the Best! Imagine now being free and unleashing all his creativity ! We, his fans, are always looking forward to his next performance, be it lasting 1 min or 4 we know he will pour in it all his emotions and grace leaving us speechless.
I think that he is the greatest in this sport. I don't see anyone who could surpass him any time soon.
What I love the most about him was his versatility and ability to convincingly interpret totally different roles. He was sensual in Sochi, light and aetherial in the Chopin piece and some of the more delicate numbers, grave, grounded and spiritual in his Seimei piece and badass in the 'Let me entertain you' skate. And in all of them it felt as it that is his lifelong signature. Just a sublime artist
Perfection is rare indeed and Mr. Hanyu is that.
Just on a whole different level as a skater and human being.
May he be happy and healthy!
No other figure skater managed to enchant me as much as yuzuru. I was interested in figure skating before but never really watched it, till I discovered yuzuru and completely fell in love with the sport again.
His like straight out of an anime or manga and just oozes that main character energy
Yuzuru Hanyu, the ice, and music is like a 3 in 1 coffee. They can't be separated.
the most accurate description I have read in these comments lmao 🤣
Yuzu's skating has souls🥰
he is the Greatest of All Time the Legendary Yuzuru Hanyu- King of Ice..period ...
It is not just enough to be an excellent skater, you have to be able to transcend your emotion, technique, and choreography to the audience. YH has the innate ability to do this, on so many levels. He is truly the GOAT of mens figure skating, he most definitely made his mark…who can EVER forget his winning skate to Parisienne Walkways, absolutely brilliant both in interpretation and execution.
He is greater...he was born to perform and to do it on the ice rink. A Gift like no obe else has. All the glory to God for such a talent😊❤
He is the epitome of that perfect balance between technique and artistry.
i always viewed figure skating as that "ooh cool they dance on ice, that's nice must have taken a lot of training" until i saw yuzuru hanyu perform, he was just on another level, his performances showed me the beauty of this sport and you can tell that he loves and he is proud of his art
Most ice skating practioners are athletes engaging in their sport. Yuzuru Hanyu is something else.
Not to mention he is such a great athlete performing in top competition in 10 years! And still medal! Being great for a season or two is quite common, but he is great for 10 years, making the biggest skating fans!
He is "2" time World Champ. and 4 time Grand Prix "Final" Champ. FYR.
Yes, he is the one and only GOAT of figure skating. His technical, artistry and musical is ahead of the other skaters. Love him.❤❤❤❤❤ #fanyu
Yuna Kim, Tessa and Scott, Katia and Sergei are also the goats.
he kept breaking records and despite judges giving him low scores sometimes, he did so much for the sport
He is the greatest skater we've ever seen
Yes yes yes. I’ve never seen anyone as magnificent as him. He is a true artist.
Yes Hanyu is the 🐐 without question!
Thank you YUZURU, WE LOVE YOU
Yuzuru Hungu is to figure skating what Ted Williams is to baseball, LeBron James to basketball, and Jack Nicklaus to golf! 💕
He is graceful and elegant when he skates. He is just adorable
He is a JOY to watch! What more can one ask for?
I have a lot of respect and love for him
he was and is still the best there will ever be
The ONE and ONLY!
How Good Is Yuzuru Hanyu Actually?
There I fixed your title for you.
To answer the question he is the best ever.
yes he is the greatest
Yuzuru is the best figure skater at all times
Yuzuru has the perfect combination of yin/yang, beauty/strength, artistry/technique and maintains a humble yet competitive spirit. This is why I think he is an exceptional athlete we will likely not see again for a long time. So glad to have witnessed his work. ✨
The best of the best that we will see in our lifetime ❤
I like this video. All the adjectives you used was on point! Yuzuru Hanyu is the GOAT in figure skating. He's not there to do what's already in there to do. He's there to do what he can do and be the standard. The perfect embodiment of figure skating. The most complete figure skater. How can such talents, skills and outstanding personality fits into one person. God is truly amazing. He knows Yuzu is the best to be gifted by all these. Didn't he inpired so many people in the world by his skating. Truly amazing. Magnificent! The best ever!
GOAT
is this even a question? just find a small clip of his 4Lz. It's scary how athletic he has to be to do that and do it well. no cheating in the prerotation.
Hanyu Yuzuru was/IS/WILL REMAIN the best. Ever. ❤
not was but actually is* he is even more active now as a pro skater than some of his past seasons as competitive 😸
Don't like that the title is written in the past. He WAS great and he IS great and he WILL be great forever.
Hanyu is the first male figure skater that l was tempted to watch, and his programmes are such masterpieces they leave nearly everyone else behind, even if their scores are higher. His routines are pieces of art, the way he combines skating with music, choreography and expression is unbeatable. I have also great admiration for his choreographers. Thank you for putting it together. It would be nice if there were pieces of Seimei and not Origin programme when you talk anout it.
OK, i haven't even watched the video yet, but I wanna answer the question " How good was Yuzuru Hanuyu?"
VERY VERY GOOD!!!!
I am not a devoted fan of the sport, but it seems like there's a crisis. Or two, actually. The first blatant issue are the judges. I don't think there is a single figure skater or fan who is happy with how points are awarded in the current system. Second, figure skating is simultaneous dancing and acrobatics. Those elements are not necessarily in conflict, but because of the points system, skaters are driven to focus on the jumps so much that it comes at the expense of the flow of the performance. And everybody is talking about this! At this point, they might as well change the SP-FS system into one where the skaters have a jumping routine without music and a separate dancing routine :p
Exactly! Hanyu is the first male figure skater that got me into watching the sport when I first say him at the first Olympics and I was mesmerized. And that start me keeping up male figure skating and it was so much fun. I thought when Hanyu retired I would still watch male figure skating was so much fun to watch but over the years I watched the sport change drastically. I couldn’t wait to see the newer skater to see what personality and charm they bought but that didn’t happen. When the change the scoring system changed to favor more the jumps, it ruined the sport. All I was watching was the young man jumping the whole time and there’s was no skating, no artistry, no charisma, no personality, no fun. It was boring and frustrating to watch. It didn’t feel like ice skating, it became ice jumping. I have lost all interest in male figure skating after Hanyu retire because he was the only reason I was watch the last year or 2. It’s horrible what happened to male figure skating and whoever decide to change the scoring system are absolutely idiots and should be fire and remove from the panel permanently.
After watching this video, I googled about Yuzuru. Here’s what I found: he broke World Record 19 times, holds all three men’s singles World Records under the -3 +3 GOE system (Short program 112.72; Long program 223.20; Combined total 330.43), and produced tons of “First”:

Yuzuru is a spiritual successor to Toller Cranston, Brasseur & Eisler, Surya Bonaly, and Philippe Candeloro, great skill, but a greater showman. The sport desperately needs a few more like him because it's dying by the quadfest badly.
Another TH-cam channel using Yuzuru Hanyu to gain more subscribers and viewership. Yuzu is truly a legend✨🔥

Hanyu is great but this video is full of errors. I finally decided I would comment when you were talking about Seimei (say-may) while showing his Origen program. 🙄 oh well, again, Hanyu probably will go down in history as the best ever so in that respect, good job.
The goat🤗
Simply the Best❤😊
He a goat.
Hanyu is GOAT but this video has so much wrong information 😂
Watching him on Beijing olympics the most magical thing witnessed, and would ever witness. Everytime he was on the ice, I wasnt able to look away for even a second. Theres really something about his technique and artistry...That even when witnessing a bunch of also talented and graceful skaters, you'd still remember in detail the way he glides on ice.... IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT YEAH. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT WAS GREAT. REALLY REALLY REALLY GREAT. I WASNT REALLY A FAN OR INTERESTED IN ICE SKATING BUT AT THAT MOMENT I WAS SPEECHLESS AND I FELT LIKE CRYING ON THE SPOT ISTG. I LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF IT.
No hay duda the GOAT!!
I have an even better question:
Why is anyone even asking this?
Nu a fost ci este, dovada o fac spectacolele pe care le da si arenele pline! Înca nu are egal pentru ca este un atlet complet, la el tehnica se împleteste cu talentul coregrafic cum rar poti sa vezi! De ce are fani în întraga lume? Pentru ca reuseste sa își transpuna emotiile pe gheata, el nu face spectacol, el traieste muzica, impresioneaza privitorii si creaza tsunami de sentimente si trairi! EL ESTE CAPRA!
That’s all true but it is also worth mentioning that at first Yuzuru was poorly excepted by the audience. His performances were criticised at the beginning of his career especially when he won the Japanese Nationals title back in 2012. So the way he proved everybody is just astonishing. Also yet breaking numerous world records he was still underscored consistently
Yuzuru was actually pretty well-loved and his skating had quite a following even before 2012. Even when he was winning everything in juniors, fs fans and media noted that he was a prodigy and predicted that Yuzu will become the face of the sport back then. He was the complete package who only got better later on in order to beat Patrick for the ogm in Sochi. The reason he was treated poorly at japanese nationals 2012 was because he beat the federation's heavy favorite daisuke and it was a fair win. It wasn't due to his performance which was quite solid. His own countrymen (Daisuke's notorious fans) booed a 17 year old, the officials were mad and it was so bad that the booing was removed from the official footage and you can't find it anymore. Brian also mentioned it btw in an interview. Jsf's main head back then who is still very influential- Hashimoto (who had an obsession with daisuke) was also relentless in her mistreatment of Yuzu and tried to downplay his achievements whenever she could. Dai's fans and Hashimoto even kept disturbing Yuzu at the Sochi Olympics but it didn't work. Sorry for being long-winded but I thought about adding some context to what happened at jnats12 and the peculiarity of his federation. Regional politics go a long way in japanese fs. As a Sendai skater (which is not one of the powerhouses of japanese fs) without being signed to any agency, Yuzu always maintained his independence which was not well received by the old faction of japanese fs fans. Despite being a legend now, he has always been somewhat of an outsider and wasn't ever the favorite of his fed who didn't help with his training at tcc. They can't take credit for his accomplishments and that old faction who heavily support both mao and dai had harassed him and his family continuously throughout his career and as a matter of fact, they still do so even today. Thankfully Yuzu has so much support from all over the world and his skating is universally loved, those haters are a minority now and out of sight most of the time.

While I appreciate figure skating content, I feel very disappointed in what was said in the video. For example, when talking about the Technical part of his skating, I was expecting remarks on unique details to him such as the entries or exits of his jumps, like the hard ones he uses on his triple axels...
He is the best and will be for idk how long, and I feel like this video failed to fully capture how great he is

chat gpt, write me a script for a youtube video about yuzuru hanyu
In the 12 years of competitive skating years, he might not have won all the competition but he was at least at the top 4 in his later years prior to retirement, which was not easy. Most men also lasted for max 5 years.
please, correct your mistakes. Yuzuru Hanyu is a GOAT and , honestly, try to be at least correct and thorough when you are talking about his programs. Please!
I think he's the greatest, but I also think he had a problem with consistency at times and struggled to skate a clean short and free throughout his career, particularly at the Olympics.
Most of the issues were due to his injuries. He had a horrible injury a few weeks before his last he was at the Olympics and greatly impacted him. He had multiple horrible injuries happen at or a few week before a huge competition happened and really effect his clean skates and jumps.
@@lunagrace2872 op has to be trolling coz Yuzu had a clean short in both Sochi and Pyeongchang despite a career ending injury in the latter one. He was even the first to break 100 in the sp at the age of 19 with a fabulous performance which still keeps drawing more new fans into the sport but they are eager to act like it never happened lmao.
th-cam.com/video/vJ27mUj2UyY/w-d-xo.html This is a video that was presented about a year ago. Ilia Kalinin has proven a better jumper since then and did not double foot or land awkwardly as Hanyu did twice in the 2018 Olympics or fall twice as Hanyu did in 2022. Even in 2012 you can see above how Hanyu's landings could be awkward. (5:20.)
Ilia not only showed perfect, seemingly effortless quadruple and triple jumps and combination jumps at The World Championships in Montreal, he also executed great spins and at one point even raised his leg up almost vertically which is rarely done by a male skater. After his exhausting program of amazing GRACEFUL jumps and touchdowns to the ice, amazingly he even performed an energetic finale with additional gravity defying leaps and flawless landings.
His every movement and gesture, even down to the pointing of his fingertips was synchronized with the hauntinlgy beautiful music. Hanyu endured the test of time with longevity but even if Kalinin never skated again, his performance in Montreal would go down as the greatest single performance of all time - at least until now.
Are you obsessive? This is a video about Yuzu, go rave about your fav somewhere else...
No need compare. Respect. Pls.（No subscribe !）
Seriously? We come to praise Yuzu. He is who we love. You should know that. If you don't like to see his greatness compared to other skaters then you probably shouldn't watch a video where he is the subject and focus and go to where the others are. After all these years the Fanyus have left the comps along with Yuzu and we are free of the people who say we have to cheer all the skaters because actually we don't. He's on a different level and in a different place and most of us don't care about who he left behind or who the new guys are.
Exactly! But I feel sorry for those who are competing on the same game with him. Our eyes are for Yuzuru only.
@@lanalow2611 so what? There are enough people who are interested in figure skating without feeling the need to idolize their favorite skater.
He was fan favorite but they are more good ones.
No male skater is better than Yuzuru
And then you decided to wake up from your delusion K v. The *more good ones* all cite Yuzu as the greatest and their favorite too.
Weird that you characterize the Sochi performance as a masterpiece when he messed up 3 of his jumps. 2014 free skate was a disaster and this feels like misleading revisionism.
🎼🌞🎼 Коммент японца о Hanyu, - прочитанный год назад : "Гениальные люди не идеальны. Им это не нужно". Полностью согласна с первой фразой. А вторая - сомнительна. Каждый индивид, - гений он или нет - стремится к идеалу. Считать сочинскую FP - катастрофой : не от большого ума автора @Deedledave. Это заявление чисто буквалистское и умозрительное. Ещё древние говорили : нельзя поверить алгеброй ГАРМОНИЮ. Одни видят стакан - наполовину ПУСТОЙ, а другие - наполовину ПОЛНЫЙ. Предвзятое мнение - тоже мнение и я шокирована этим словом - "катастрофа", что явно ПЕРЕБОР !.. Количество просмотров именно этой FP, также как и других, в том ряду и пекинских прокатов SP и FP -- безмерно зашкаливают в цифрах. Спрашивается ПОЧЕМУ, - парадокс ?.. О нет ! Ларчик открывается ПРОСТО. Люди ищут ГАРМОНИЮ. Этой эфемерной субстанцией - любая программа Yuzuru насыщена до предела, - начиная с первых шагов фигуриста и до финальной мизансцены. Стабильность здорового и нездорового человека неравноценны. Человек с детства борется с нехваткой кислорода в организме ; какую стабильность нужда вам припала требовать от Hanyu ?.. Вы себе представляете в реале - что такое хроническая астма ? Спортсмен делает то, что может, по части техники, и всегда это на фоне тяжёлых травм. Страдают в этом случае - только прыжки. Но каков при этом накал самовыражения артистизма, пластической одухотворённости ?!! Катастрофа ... я бы ТАК назвала, скорее ваш коммент. Вот это, - действительно : КАТАСТРОФА вселенского масштаба ...
@FanyuHanyuI never said I didn't like him though. He's my favourite male skater of all time, and I'd much prefer an error-ridden skate over Chen's robotic skates. However, it's not wrong to say that Hanyu struggled with consistency and he rarely skated his short and free cleanly. Part of that was because of injury, and part of that may have been because of the demands he placed on his slight frame to achieve what he achieved. I don't know. But we can acknowledge his greatness while also admitting that he had weaknesses in his performances - namely, skating clean and consistently.
How good was he actually? He was great, but not as great as it seems at first sight. Never managed to go back to back at worlds. The titles he did win had tiny margins over the 2nd place athletes, compared with runaway victories that Nathan Chen had over Hanyu (and others) in his wins. Yes, he broke many WRs, but what is a world record worth if it's so easy to break? I'd rather have one unbreakable record that lasts for years than multiple ones that get broken literally 5 minutes later. Hanyu had two lucky wins at the Olympics and that completely distorts the whole picture of him being a great, but VERY inconsistent skater. Nathan's arrival to the senior stage in 2016 brutally exposed everything that Hanyu was lacking. And on top of that, his artistry is very overrated. As a former dancer, sometimes it's painful to watch his limp arms and unpointed toes. His lack of dance background is glaring.
You must have a real sad life that you had to find this video and write this two page long essay on how 'bad' he is according to you......man you are even a bigger fan than most of us let me tell you
@ruby6555 Orser said it back in 2018, before Nathan's era of dominance. Irrelevant.
@ruby6555 one of a kind =/= GOAT
there are a lot of skaters who are one of a kind. Doesn't make them GOATs. Should I start quoting Arutyunyan about how Nathan is one of a kind?
Nathan has not been replaced lmao has Ilia won any gold medals yet? broken any WRs? Y'all wish Nathan would be mediocre or forgotten, but unfortunately for you, everyone in the skating world who is not a fanyu, loves and remembers him. Keep crying about it.
@@Unfiltered494 is that why a heir to throne narrative is being passed around regarding hanyu, who will be the new face of figure skating,who will take hanyus place. Every new talented skater gets compared to hanyu, the amount of times his name has been passed by commentators this season be that jr or SR comp , why is it even if Nathan had dominated this sport people hold hanyu as golden standard also just for your information Nathan has not defeated a clean (both sp and FP) once, yuzuru hanyu is the standard be that jumps or skating skills and also Nathan has already been replaced by his fed in favour of ilia, Nathan used land 5 quads ilia can land six so isn't he already greater by your standard but there have not been a second hanyu because no one can measure up to those standards
How can you call TWO olimpic wins “lucky victories”💀
Short answer?
Not really that good.
