Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

[msteach3]

But if he is ready, then I hope he can perform without being too fearful of the ice -without lingering trauma.

Yes, this is the bigger issue rather than his physical condition at this point. If he's been practicing for a week or more he's probably feeling pretty good. Being out there with other skaters in a 6 minute warmup may be difficult, but on the other hand it might just be the best thing rather than dwelling on it for too long. I have so much faith and admiration for this boy and his will and desire to compete and win. Like the rest of you I'm excited to see him skate again, but will be a nervous wreak!

Deep down I think I expected this - wishing him all the best if he goes through with it. I think it's going to be an experience for him over the next four years learning to pace himself and manage the expectations he places on his body.

I really hope he will learn, but for people who is so determine like him I don't think he will listen to anyone until he encounters something that make him start to really reflect.

You know I really wonder, if the collision at CoC couldn't make him stop then what can? :hopelessness: I am praying for once JSF will have some reasons and cut down the amount of ice shows they are going to ask him to join the next summer.

Yuzu has arrived and registered for NHK Trophy.

For real? *dies with excitement*
I haven't even finished watching TEB, and I haven't been spoiled about the results, so I haven't got a clue yet what Yuzuru Hanyu may have to do, scores or ranking-wise, to qualify for the GPF, but just hearing that he's at the NHK is good enough for me right now. He wouldn't be there if he didn't feel confident he had a good reason to be there.

This news just made my day, thank you!

Yuzu has arrived and registered for NHK Trophy.

I don't know I'm happy or not...Take care of yourself, Yuzuru!!!! :hopelessness:

 

[Esopian]

Please take care Yuzuru. I'm not ready for more drama :hopelessness:

Yeah, me neither. The most I need now is more drama, but hoping for the best in this competition! (no injuries please!!)

Well, if he's been practicing for 9 days already no wonder he is doing quads. Did you really expect him to play it low? It's not Yuzuru.
I am both terrified and amused by his determination to compete. He's... I just wish him good luck whatever the decision might be. He surely cannot get on the ice and perform bad. If he's in- he will win. Other than placing 1st would not be considered.

I agree, I really think Hanyu's decision to skate at the NHK would motivate himself to perform well. But, I just wish for him to stay healthy instead of pushing his body too much. Oh well, I guess we'll find out this Friday ...

Take care Yuzu!!! Ganbatte kudasai! I am quite excited... Guess we will see that samurai spirit in action again

Thank you so much! Can't wait to watch NHK Trophy. Just want to be at the same time to support Yuzu. Praying for him, when Yuzu competes.

By the time men SP starts, I will be in class. I hope my students won't notice that I am extremely anxious by that time. :hopelessness:

 

[HanDomi]

so according to news Yuzuru unofficial practice has just started ? after that final decision will be made

 

[sajoya]

I knew it! That's Yuzuru for you, and why am I not surprise that he was already on the ice doing quads...9 DAYS AGO???!!!!
I never thought being a fan of his would be this stressful. If only there was a terms and conditions before I signed up for this, maybe with a warning like: You may become emotionally invested towards this skater. You will also experience high levels of anxiety due to the skater's lack of concern for his health. If you accept the consequences, select "I Agree" to continue.

But on a serious note, I guess all we can do now is support him. If he was already on the ice jumping quads then that must mean he has (somewhat) recovered from his injuries. Even though I'm still skeptical about his decision to skate, I'll just take his word for it and support him all the way I know he'll be going in that rink with all guns blazing. He's all about the whole "revenge" thing. Just please don't push yourself, Yuzuru (Maybe drop that third quad in your LP! Do the lutz+double combo!!! )
