All Time Favorite Figure Skaters

[Mister Obvious]

Bleh, none of these people are on the level of Yuzuru, it's gonna be so hard to come close to him...



He's the total package. He has everything. Just everything.

Impossible talent, impossible beauty, impossible charisma. Mind boggling.

It's too bad he didn't win a triple streak and curbstomp everyone in the 2022 Olympics.

Nobody's gonna come close again for a long time.

Sigh.

It's like this guy said...

Show me ONE skater who has the guts to attempt a sequence of "double cross rolls - back counter turn - triple Axel - twizzle - illusion sit spin - step sequence - combo spin" in a short program KNOWING that if you mess up that Axel, the sit spin is automatically gone too, because the entire rest of the program is already occupied by the step sequence and the final spin with no recovery space in between.

That means, he is 100% sure that he lands that Axel with enough speed to go into the sit spin and NOT let those 4 points slip. He is absolutely insane for this. This enormous risk alone deserves a 10.00 in transitions if successful. Let alone the ridiculous total of only 6 crossovers.

Preach, brother. The shit ain't even right.

Apparently Yuruzu was injured during this time...

Yuzuru Hanyu: "After Pyeongchang, I already wanted to step away. But truthfully, I couldn't stop because I'd said in so many interviews that I'd land the 4A. It was my dream, and I was terrified of letting go of it – terrified of giving up."

See, this is why they have to be so young and retire early. Probably the hardest sport with the most wear on the body. It's absolutely ridiculous, but by far one of the most beautiful art forms in existence.
