Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

Tell me he's 19 going to turn 20 again... His composure still puzzles me. When I were the same age I were arrogant as hell (and at that time I hated everything): http://hanyuedits.tumblr.com/post/104187721042

Here he looks like a teen his age, though. I really want to see Brian's expression lol:

I'm 19 also. I'm a little over 6 months younger than Yuzuru and I think I look baby-faced. I think I could pass off as a high schooler. One time when I was in 11th grade, some guy who was in 9th grade at the time thought I myself look like a 9th grader....
 
NHK GALA INTERVIEW (Hanyu, Murakami and Mura)

I uploaded Yuzu's NHK Trophy FS performance broadcasted by NBC & CBC in case anyone is interested. Also a short clip of Tracy Wilson reporting on Yuzu's state of mind after the SP. The last 10 seconds of the clip is backstage scene of Yuzu before his LP performance (looking very serious).
thank you for the vids :cheer2:
 
lol. When I was 23 and in my second year in graduate school I was always mistaken as a high school student. A lot of Asains look that way.

Still, Yuzu is truly a babyface among Asians. I mean look at his face...no sign of anything a teenage boy should aleady have...you know what I am saying. :D

I win, I´m 31, and people ask me what I´m gonna to study in college. My size helps lots, I´m 1.46 and weight about 100 pounds. :D

I'm a firm believer of the saying "age is just a number." It doesn't just apply to older people staying youthful at heart. Young people don't have to be foolish. 19 means nothing. 20 means nothing. Words and actions can be attributed to experience, but not age.

Mmm, I really like what he said there. Being weak does indeed mean that you can become strong again... I also want to add to his thought. To me, weakness means an opportunity for remembering kindness, too. When you are weak, you can't help but rely on others. Reaching out, fighting, getting help-- there's a gratitude that comes from all of that. I think, once a bit of that strength is gained, that past weakness becomes kindness (or rather, should become kindness).
So, yes, weakness is definitely something anyone competitive hates, but looking on the bright side, weakness has some merits... right?

My rambling philosophy aside, I hope Yuzuru finds that strength he's fighting for!


And on an entirely different note, I really want someone to ask BOrser what his expression was there... I'm so curious!
"Mr. Orser, what were your thoughts when Olympic Champion, Yuzuru Hanyu, started serenading you?"
"Mr. Orser, there's been this viral image with Yuzu singing to you backstage..."
"Mr. Orser!"
 
Yuzu talks like a machine gun! If I am not mistaken, he is strong at math and science, and he got into Waseda based on his academic performance/exams, not as a student athlete. However I do feel he is very talented in language!

I have always looked quite youthful for my age even in Asia! It was only recently when my face started catching up to my real age, or at least that's what people have been telling me. Le sigh. Yuzuru still looks 16-17 :P

I agree. Weakness too serves as a reminder of our vulnerability, so I hope that Yuzuru will always take good care of himself and not gamble on his well-being.

Yuzu talks like a machine gun!

Yes he does, doesn't he? :) His compatriot and fellow Sochi Olympics medalist, the ski jumper Noriaki Kasai, said exactly the same thing about him.
 
Just 8 days to go! Next Friday I'll be in plane to Barcelona :cheer: I'm getting so nervous :D I wish Yuzuru luck and also to get his confidence back! I'm curios if he'll show up in new costume for LP :) He's costumes this season are gorgeous :)

Wishing you a great time at the GPF, yay! :) If you can, please give us your personal account of Yuzuru's performance and that of the other participants and how they are received by the Spanish audience. :)

Vamos Yuzuru! May December be a merry one for you with your coming of age and (fingers crossed) great performances in the GPF and Japan Nationals. Here's the poster for the latter with Yuzuru in center position. (From cocomi55's tumblr blog)

Thanks to all those who posted photo links and updates.
