@@liliberry1596 we never know..😏

Quell Yu bro i felt that and had the time to fckin have a mental breakdown this literally made me cry 🥺🤧😭

Not in the same country though :,)))

YourTaekook Braincells lol your username 💜

Well it was HIS OWN world record at this point.

す

@@jugemujugemugokonosurikire4735 even so, he should have get this skating a world record too, but the judges denied this olympic record

He didn't get a level 4 critique on his last element, where he was supposed to use a change-foot spin. Otherwise, he probably would have gotten a wr.

@@maximvasilleyvich6060 They still held back in the scoring like they have been doing since years ago. Even without that the other elements should have been rewarded higher.

it's fine , I can’t agree more he shows so much passion in his skating. He is stunning isn’t he

Choreograph

I agree with you, because he was dancing in the right time in the music go high or slow.

But based on the jump his scores is okey but I do hope he break the records again

This is breathtaking

He broke 18 world record of himself,dude.He so young.About 24 years old

@@julia_likeschicken and in His age I just waiting for frozen 2 release

Yuzuru causes this. I myself ended here and have fallen in love with him.

@@julia_likeschicken Actually 19 WRs

Lol if you watched yuri on ice then yuri plisetsky would be the winner

Fantaisie-Impromptu by Chopin :-)

YEEEAAHHH

@@MrRight1000 i would like to see him playing fantaisie impromptu

@@ketokeko I hope that Yuzuru hears and presents us with his interpretation of Impromptu. After all, in the Ballade he didn't just skate Chopin - he WAS Chopin. I believe he owes it to his fans before he retires from professional sport. His role model competed till the age of 32, so can Yuzuru. IMO.

big brain comment

Is it?? This time his ankle not yet fully recover??

Exactly ♥️my favourite his SP programme

@@imcskchannel2864 3 months before the olympics , while practicing his jumps in Nov, he injured his right ankle ligament. The injury was so serious as even abt 2 months before olympics, he was still unable to skate due to his ankle pain. He was only able to do imagine traning on land On Jan, abt 1.5 month before Pyeong Chang olympics, his ankle pain still persist. His resolution was to take pain killers or he wud have to withdraw. During the competition, he was still taking painkillers. A historical performance by a True CHAMPION - Yuzuru Hanyu 💪👍

@@ellielee490 ohh yeah i know that, hes such a fighter!👏👏🥇🥇👏👏👏👏

Msy Cyn he is a human as far as I know

KiKi Waka yes first and second by him

He missed a level in one spin. That's why this not a WR

I agree with you he's technical score over 63 he should break the record

@@JorgeGarcia-gm6hh oh, really? which moment, please?

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

Lol 😂 your comments remind me how Italian comments ... 👍👍👍 “planet Hanyu population Only him”

hehehehe.. They are the best commentators!!!!!! ehheeheh..

In slow-mo, can see the height!

When i watch other skaters, i almost can guess they want to jump. But with Yuzuru, i often wonder he would jump or just continue move. Sometimes, his 3A looks like a part of his stsq so that i used to think 3A was an easy jump =)))

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

Technically Chopin would be mad because they removed a part of the Ballade...

@Yuzuru Hanyu’s Pooh-San EXCUSE ME it's a piece not a song alright thank you bye Edit:ahh they deleted their comment and now I look stupid jeez

Classic Lover well I mean there’s no other way he can fit a 10 min long piece into a short program. Chopin would definitely be proud

Well he be "Chopin" the onions watching this! I'll leave

Free fire Heart lol

omg your profile pic its jhope 💜

Seriously this is his best chopin ever in my pov..

@Blossom데이지 It's good to see my family appreciating art of a different kind. 💜

To be fair, he had the existing world record (and still has it), so there's not much point being mad hahahahaha

@Blossom데이지 probably wr stands for world record

Guys YUNA KIM has wonderful performances, her best was at 2014 Sochi. Yuzuru has the same choreographer as her.

@@dotscrunch Yuzuru worked with David Wilson (who worked with Yuna Kim) upto Sochi. He changed choreographers later but he still worked on some exhibition programs like Notte Stellata with David. But I agree Yuna Kim is also another amazing skater one shouldn't miss out on.

I heard he was on some strong painkillers

He already healed this time after 4 month recovering. Yes it should be..but who knows he still take his madicine this time..

Thanks and gracias. Oh, plus ありがとうございます。

@@afkarnadhifa that’s not enough please.

Exactly. I felt the same as I was watching - it's a truly Olympic-worthy program in every aspect.

Huh

True...

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

@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

Timing

Everything about timing, he is like can use the time as what he want. Seriously, not magic

timing is magiccccc

OH yess yesssss!!! So beautiful.. This is like a treasure trove... every time we watch it.. it's like.. there's another gem to be found... wow...

@@Ambyaaarr n its his magic, hanyuesque.

SAME BRUH 😭😭😭 that’s why i do have a high standard 😭😭😭

Me too..

Same! Especially with some skater’s arms. I love how he has fluid and elegant movements where other skaters kinda wave their arms around and don’t really have control in them, but that’s just my opinion 🤷‍♀️

same

@@kirin_chan his balletic arm movements are just 🤧👌

have you started yet?

Good luck!

cheese boi welcome to the world of yuzuru hanyu.. He touches your heart n warms yr soul with his skates. One n only. Greetings from Malaysia, truly Asia

That's amazing, I really want to skate, but I just have no way of doing it and it makes me really sad

Glad you found passion in figure skating!

👍👍👍

Imagine living in this world and not knowing about him

You describe Yuzure so well. He's truely a living legend well love & admire by many people. He lives & breaths for his skating, so we can enjoy his skating.

Beautiful!❤

❤

He is beyond words.

Plot twist : he IS a magical prince on the ice

@@itsyaboichilde5397 he is the king

Not only is he actually that, he also hibernates in a waterfall-veiled cave filled with 50,000 glittery costumes for up to 300 days straight before the start of every new figure skating season. I am the cave so I can confirm.

It's been 2 years since this comment, but thank you now I can watch this masterpiece again 🥺 He's really a prince 💙💙

I think they are both beautiful skaters. Yuruzu is absolutely exquisite and he does have more artistry to his style.

i wholeheartedly agree. while nathan may have all of the technical elements, his skating just isn't the same as this. i can't describe it but yuzuru just skates so majestically.

Agree he was over scored his performance was lacking in the emotion and artistic value. It's just technical fancy moves I feel nothing when l watch him.

@@val875 I think there's a HUGE stylistic difference between them. When nathan does quads they LOOK difficult. It's like he's bringing attention to how much strength and power actually goes into those jumps. But because of that he often lacks any sense of fluidity, every time I've seen him perform he just looks so stiff and rigid, it's almost like there's a sense of awkwardness when he's on the ice. And yuzuru does the exact opposite of that. his performances are pure artistry. He makes the INSANE jumps he's doing look completely effortless. It's literally like he's one with the ice when he's out there, no stiffness or awkwardness at all.

@@alannahood4107 This!That's what I felt.When I was watching Nathan I had this sense of awkwardness and I thought what do I know ?I am no expert.But you put my thoughts into words.Yuzu is graceful.Its like he is gliding on ice.Nathan lacks fluidity.

elegance

I got chills, no pun intended

factually it pretty much is! 8 out of 9 judges gave it perfect GOE (+3, remember the judging system changed)

also check out Mao Asada's step sequences from her Rach II free program in Sochi 2014!

Definitely, this is the greatest short program in fs history

I was just saying to myself as I was re-watching this masterpiece that this step sequence was possibly the best I’ve ever seen.

If u haven't already, look at the best of Boitano and Yagudin and Hamilton :P same with Plushenko

@@foxcatherine I've seen all of his skates from romeo & juliet 1.0 (my favorite one) to most recent Rondo, and H&E. All of his programs are insanely incredible, but I think Chopin is a neat bow that sums up all his skills with a classy atmosphere.

@@TheCandiceWang I dont get it why so many people like Plushenkos performances. He starts with a 20 second quad prep and from there on its just jumps with boring transitions.

@@jakobmax3299 🍀🌞🍀 ~ Точно !..

I always say: you can beat him but you can't surpass him. When he's *on* he's unbeatable. Or should be. Even with some mistakes a lot of the times that shouldn't equate to no win (comparing to the level of the program and the other skaters). Especially with the current level of the top men but that's a discourse for another day.

gracias

no one is 'unbeatable', but but very few can show such greatness on this level

@@heizeking3557 this is just annoying

@@alazjaw.8968 what's annoying?

Both. Beautiful and athletic at the same time!!!✨🥲

@@beepbeep670 oh yes, exactly! i don't mean it in a wrong way. it's just that ballet makes me feel this way, and i rarely feel like that with other sports. only yuzuru hanyu made me feel this way with skating.

@@ayuzawa9203 Yessss!!!! (I meant nothing in my comment too xD) And yes, he flows with the music and it seems like the music swirls around him while he was performing. Spectacular.

It's a...... Spart?

YES!... truly...

Agree 👍

Check out Yuna Kim, Yuzuru has the same choreographer as her

@@dotscrunch Omg shut up with your Yuna Kim, everyone is bored by idiot fan's

@@lorel1458 I understand your pov but please don't be rude

@Sally Vee He still deserved a WR from the other elements from what i saw in the protocols. They held back in some elements like they have been done since a while. But you're right tho, he for sure would have gotten a WR with a lvl4.

This is one of my absolut fav performances, tho I think he got lucky not to have a < on the 4T

awww... That's so beautifully said...

He's an angel on Ice and off💙😇

This! I saw the live stream too, it was about 6am by my country's time when he was about to go on the ice, I had been up since 2am and I was so nervous I was hiding behind a pillow, peering out from behind it. 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. Although it's even more intense, I mean, you can hear the screams of the audience in the background from the videos, but it's nothing like hearing it live. I can just imagine how it must have been at the Olympics.

Same 😭❤ I can't believe it has been 1 year since then.

ANIS your comment is so touching . You have a pure soul like he does, beautiful. l want to read more. you have a talent . I think you should write about him and be a writer.

agreed, the way he skates is just ethereal🤩

i played this piece from chopin (one of the most beautiful pieces ever), and although the program has only excerpts of it, yuzuru did a fantastic job interpreting it. His sense of artistry and physical abilities are out of the world!

FR, I had to come back and watch this again because I still can´t understand how THAT choreo broke this WR.

Nathan’s overscoring impact

@@TheMichellezarate dude forreal, Nathan had a small dance break but I’m so sorry it seemed like he was auditioning for a hip hop class???? What in the world. How did THAT break THIS. We must be having a nightmare lol 😂

Actually...

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

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.

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

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

..What?

@@esterleng860 basically i think (cuz there’s a possibility that i’m wrong) that it means that most other skaters just skate and don’t really connect with the music, which makes it feel like it’s just background music rather than a part of the performance. whereas yuzu’s movements really connect with and complement the music instead. please correct me if i’m wrong. i am in no ways a professional at figure skating or dancing or music or anything like that

*Soviet anthem plays*

Hey

True story
