Lots of good B.Esp (especially Simon Reed) quotes: Yuna Kim 2007 Worlds SP: "Mind boggling! I have rarely ever seen a single skater skate to the music as well as that." Yuzuru Hanyu 2013 Worlds SP: "It is such a responsibility to have talent like he has. For me, I still say it...I think he has the potential to be the finest figure skater in history." Yuzuru Hanyu 2015 NHK Trophy FS: "There's no 10s there but it's mighty, mighty close....Unbelievable, well done to the judges...I bet within the judges' marks there are some 10s in there...and I'd shake their hands if I knew who it was, but they're all in random order so I'd never know who it is...but brilliant!" Yuzuru Hanyu 2016 NHK Trophy FS: "And it's not just the Japanese who adore him. And yes, he did have a mistake...or two...but he is so adorable, I think people by now have forgotten that he made the mistakes and just concentrated on the magnificent skating." And Kurt Browning (CBC) is always a pleasure: Yuna Kim 2014 Olympics SP (at her score): "I'm surprised...I thought it would be higher." Yuzuru Hanyu 2015 Worlds SP: "He claims moments out of nowhere, he's in the spin and just by clenching his fists on the note, there's so much ownership from this fellow, like a ballet dancer....It's like he commands us. Show-off." Johnny Weir (NBC) is sassy: Yuzuru Hanyu 2015 GPF FS (on his quad): "It's like water. Suspended in soup."
