My internet is down (been blogging from my phone like a savage) so I can’t upload a proper video. But here is the English translation of the Spanish Commentators.
S=Susana
P=Paloma
S: Regardless of what he does, this man always astounds (us). He’s second, behind Nathan Chen by 6 points. But Yuzuru Hanyu is a lot. This season he’s got a score of 155, but of course he is (can score) way beyond that number.
(4Lz)
P/S: Woah!
S: How has he saved that!
P: What a knee and quadriceps.
(3Lo)
P: Triple
(4S)
S: 4S
(4T+3T)
P: 4T+3T
(3A+2T)
P: 3A
(Finishes)
P: It wasn’t perfect, it didn’t work out perfectly for him.
S: I wouldn’t worry about it because Yuzuru Hanyu is Yuzuru Hanyu. But down they go, the Winnie the Poohs. But he’s not happy
P: No, no. Let’s see, he had 5 quads planned, out of those 5 he has done 1-2-3. That 4Lo ended up as a 3Lo and the second (?) 4T was a double. Magnificent 3As, they’re incredible. Magnificent when he does the quads, but he knows that he needs, well if he’s not perfect, at least 4 quads this season. Anyway he’s a very well rounded skater, technically in the jumps, technically in the spins, the changes of position he does. Beautiful, original, well-centered.
S: The artistic part if wonderful.
P: That too, the skating skills, the steps, the choreography. Of course, he’s human, He’s human and the technical errors can happen to him as they did. But well, we’re speaking on mayor terms, a 4Lz, we’ll see that 4Lz landing in slow motion.
(4Lz slo mo)
P: Here it is. No doubt on the outside edge at the entry.
S: Wonderful
P: Clean and how he’s hold on to that landing, bending the knee.
S: The second most difficult jump after the Axel is the Lutz and he’s done a 4Lz.
(3Lo slo mo)
P: Here he was going for the quad but he couldn’t rotate it, was a triple. Quality in the skating skills and choreography.
(4S slo mo)
P: Here’s the 4S
S: Woah
P: I have my doubts whether he put the free leg down or not in that 4S landing, it was overturned
(4T+3T slo mo)
S: Even if it doesn’t go well, it’s a joy to watch him.
P: He’s taken the risk to go for the quad-triple combination and here it is.
S: His air position is so quick. He’s very fats because even if the take off is not good, he gets a perfect air position.
P: Of course those quad rotations are clean.
(3A+2T slo mo)
P: The 3A which he does as if it were nothing out of that spread-eagle entrance.
S: It’s so pretty.
P: He does them with barely any speed, barely any set up. Perfect. And as if that free skate didn’t have enough, near the end he does this very difficult choreographic movement (hydroblade).
S: He’s wonderful. It’s a joy to watch him. It’s wonderful to see Yuzuru Hanyu skate. Even if it’s not 100%, but he is..
P: He is so well rounded. He’s got it all.
S: Jumping technique, choreography, skating skills. He is translating to Brian what the banners in the stands said.
(Scores show up)
S: All the PCS above 9, as you can imagine. 9.54 in Skating Skills, Choreography, Interpretation. PCS 94, 101 in TES. This man has achieved 223 points in a free skate, this time he’s gotten 195. At the World Championships this very same year he got 223 that is out of this world. He goes into 1st and now he’ll have to wait to see what Nathan Chen does.
