Beautiful performance,I wish his height of jumps does improve eventually! I guess, wow so scary to do something like this after an incident like this...
Seriously I might have been shaken by what happened.

Actually, I think the medics that treated Yuzu were from Team Japan, and ngl Japan is just very exaggerated when it comes to these things (they take it way too seriously). So maybe Yuzu complained of a headache/his head pounding--not necessarily a concussion--and so they wrapped a bandage around his head. I think. I hope they release a statement soon regarding Han.

If he has a headache he could have a concussion if he falls and huts his head again that could be very serious.

From what I see there, seems like Han Yan took a really hard tumble onto the ice, while Yuzuru got hit by Yan's boot?

Holly Molly! Yuzu was KO in a split second, it looks way worse for Yuzu than it looks for Han though we can't know for sure.
I am sure it was completely unintentional but I think Han Yan should have been more careful

Decent skate from Nam considering the circumstances.

 

[gibbynka]

That looks absolutely horrible ... I really hope he withdraws after this. It's wasn't a little bump, this was a horrible collision, he might have a serious head injury!

 

[Violet Bliss]

We don't really know, Han Yan might (thankfully) simply be more reasonable here... the scary thing isn't the blood, it's that Yuzu was out cold for quite a while.

We don't know if he was out cold. There is no official report so it is just fans' observation and speculation. He might have stayed on the ice with shock and/or pain. With any concussion, he would not have recovered so quickly.

That's quite an irresponsible thing to say right now? Han Yan was the one trying to stop. Both of them didn't see anything in time.

 

[satine]

I feel like my candle cursed the event

 

[sunnystars]

hanyu...please just withdraw please

From the video alone it's hard to say if Han Yan was at fault - it's hard to know what he was doing beforehand and from how far away and from reports it sounds like he was trying to stop or prevent it. I just hope they are both ok!

 

[Mrs. P]

Any theories on why Nam Nguyen's PCS Is three points lower than Skate America? I mean his performance wasn't as good as Skate America---but that's a big drop--and it's behind Misha Ge even.....

 

[alebi]

I can't watch anything... I'm so worried

Yes, the ESP commentators said they were not sure whether he was unconscious or not as well. It's only speculation at this point. He was down (& so was Han, not as long as Yuzu though), but no official report saying he was knocked out or not yet.

Given their speeds, that impact is just so crazy.
I feel so bad for both of them. I hope Hanyu just withdraws. Just a question, if he does, how will this affect him on the GP. (Sorry, newbie here)

 

[gibbynka]

It's just so stressful today :-( I am so afraid to continue watching.

Aren't we quick to judge? Though not that surprising coming from you.

 

[purpledream]

Oh my Luckily he got up, hopefully he wasn't concussed.

this actually looks really bad. Like he was struck down? i have no idea. I cant concentrate on the competition anymore...

 

[sajoya]

If Yuzuru is really going to skate, and with that bandage on his head as well, I'm going to be sick..
