I wanted to say "I hope she smacks him on the head for being an idiot and then gives him a hug for being awesome", but I just remembered that this head has been hit enough for one day, so nevermind.
Agreed. He also gambled... health vs chance to make the GPF. Brave but foolish boy. Orser should have stopped him.
I feel so selfish, alongside the all-important "Please be okay, Yuzuru" thought, the other important thing on my mind right now is, Oh, thank g*d there are still three weeks until NHK.
I hate myself. And I hate myself for loving figure skating. And for Fate, which made these two skaters have such a scary collision.

Good! I am more at ease with the medical institutions there... I hope nothing is wrong with him... I lost my appetite for dinner. This is just to much.

yesterday I was blaming his staff... today I have no words. I'm not happy with Yuzu's silver, I don't support this "brave" mentality, there's nothing brave in risking your health for a sport, and a secondary event in this sport. I'm hit by Yuzu's crying, he also touched his head and he was visibly suffering. I only remember this, and it hurts so much
Yeah see this is the part of his decision that I don't like. If anything should happen to him, how distraught would his family feel. A head injury is different from an injury to his limbs, it could have very serious long term consequences.
Yuzu was waving and smiling while he was taking to hospital.

Boser said that American and Canada team doctors helped to check the condition of Yuzu before he was on ice to compete! Thank them!

(I missed skating competitions...it's been a while since I last posted something here)
I was shocked today when after the break the commentators said it was an accident with two skaters...and when I heard it was Yuzu I couldn't think about the competition anymore. I was sure that he would come back on the ice and do his program, but I was really hoping he won't. I was so happy to see that he was ok (not really ok, but ok after a collision like that...). He really wanted to present his new LP and he did the best that he could in these conditions. I'm so proud of our fighter.
I cried all the time during the program, I couldn't even enjoy the music which I love. Poor kid, he was exhausted. He must be very proud of his performance...he fell and continued the program, he tried almost all the elements planned. Once again, he gave everyone a lesson on fighting and never giving up. The audience was amazing, it is lovely to see that he has so many fans. Like at the SP, there was hundreds of teddy bears on the ice.
I guess in that moment we were all crying with him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA2xvWTT6eM
What happened today destroyed my enthusiasm about the first time I see POTO, but still... 151 points with 5 falls...I just look at the score now and think how much he can get with an almost perfect FS..maybe a new record this season. I like the program, as much as I could pay attention at the choreography and I can't wait to see it again at NHK.
Once again, contragulations Yuzu! We are proud of you, kid!

I know another idiot who trains and performs so much that he collapses. I've learned at this point to hold back my worrying (and thudding heart), and just support them from afar by wishing them the best. So, I want to focus on something else.
I heard the Eurosport commentators say something that kind of struck me. They were saying that he was worthy of being Olympic Champion and I wholeheartedly agree. I'm sure there were hundreds of people watching to see what "Yuzuru: The Olympic and World Champion" could do and I think more than any clean skate, this one truly shows what it means to have that title-- having the resolve to keep going. Before people say anything, I'm not propagating the idea of ignoring dangerous injuries, but I'm commending his resolve.
He wanted to go into this season showing skates worthy of the title, and he wanted to show "a new Yuzuru Hanyu." I think this performance certainly gains respect.
Hearing him sobbing at receiving his score-- never have I felt so touched. Every scrap of his energy and will went into the performance, and he was rewarded for it.
I am so, so proud of him.
Yuzuru, here's to your inspiring skate. Rest up, get well, rest up (it needs to be said twice) and we hope to see you smiling and fired-up at your next competition.

He has often said in interviews that one of his major faults is over training and then getting injured just before a competition. I do see how it seems like he is aware but just can't help himself. To my mind this iswhere the coach sould come in, although Iappreciate thedifficult balance between trying to both push and hold back a young person from doing what they were born to do.

There are some glimmers of good in this disastrous COC.
my whole family was shouting at the TV for him to withdraw...but he didn't. Fingers crossed that there will be no long-term bad effects from this.
On to the glimmers of good.
I love his costume. It's great.
I love his program. It's beautiful.
That's it.

Agree. I wouldn't encourage him to risk his health, but I'll always respect his own choice, that's the choice of a real champion and samurai.
And this will make a moment in life, gorgeous and solemn.
According to a journalist's repo, he said that he would skate until death. Such a spirit.
Now fingers crossed now for his health.

Teenagers think they are invincible, and I've read plenty of comments about skaters like Plushy or Sotnikova who withdraw...they get called cowards, accused of faking their injuries, etc. (Obviously these kind of comments come from the lunatic fringe, but still...) I completely understand why the boys wanted to skate - but I just hope this kind of thing is never is allowed to happen again. And that they will both turn out to be ok.
Sometimes I look at him and wonder why the voice of reason never speaks to him during high-risk conditions. I felt myself go cold when I first heard the commentators say that he and Han Yan had crashed into each other. My heart broke completely when he decided to compete despite his condition -- I was upset that it had to be this way, and worried something bad would happen, and I was mad at him for being so driven and determined, for putting his goals before his own health and safety.
But after everything, I remember that I am not him. I remember that I am not in his position, that I am not the one fighting to be where he is today, that I am not the one who feels that giving up is a huge step backward after everything that he's accomplished. I may be affected if anything happens to him, yes, but I am not the one who has anything at stake. It is one competition to us. Just one competition of many. But to Yuzuru, it is something more, it is something he has prepared for, an important step toward securing the titles again this year.
I cannot say that I approve of his decision. I will concede that just as there is courage in withdrawing, there is also courage in forging on even when the prospects look bleak. It was idiotic, and it was brave, and it reminds me once again of how much Yuzuru fights though the odds are stacked against him. I wish he had taken the time to think of himself and the long-term effects, what it would do to his family, what it would make everyone who cares for him, feel. But I understand a little, just a little, why he chose to do it anyway.
