Yuzuru Hanyu

Oops, I translated a wrong video CC is added for "20061109 novice nats Hino vs Hanyu" and not the one quoted by Becki. Will translate this one as well, just give me a day or so.

That's ok because now I have another vid of Yuzuru that I can understand! He was so cute then too >.<
Thanks for your hard work

OMG I love you <3. ^^ THanks for translating! BB Hanyu said he wants to win, and he did the next year :P with consistent jumps too. Why is he so cute? Can someone tell me? lol

Here's the finale of Friends on Ice 2011 (I think it was during this summer). For people that haven't seen it, there is a lot of team Japan interaction very cute :D

He totally wiped out! That must have hurt. There's another clip I think maybe the finale of Carnival on Ice or the ice show after Japan Open where he went for the quad three times because the first two times he failed. When he went for the third time he had this cute face on b/c most skaters just go once for the finale to show their stuff. It's hilarious how he is kinda crossing himself before his quads like he is praying to not wipe out.

Did you see his little happy jump at the end around 11.47. He's like a bunny.

LOL PChan...I was thinking that. But chan is a honorific in Japanese...so i thought you meant some guy with the name Low lol.

I think Yuzuru is already one of the best in the world. I think he will medal at Worlds next year

I read off some forum (I don't remember which) that he does it for good luck. I've seen clips of him at shrines praying too, but then again I didn't understand what they were saying because I don't speak Japanese :(

Ohhh if you have the video, show me and I will try to make out what they are saying lol (or use google translator haha).

I actually thought he was Catholic...fooled me.

I don't really remember where I read it off of, so I am probably remembering incorrectly so please ignore my comment (I can't find where I read it off of which is making me crazy...). When or if I find the forum again, I'll tell you.

Okay so I found out why he does the cross thing. He's not Christian, or Catholic for that matter. He does that because it's good luck for keeping his body straight during jumps lol
