Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

[Bonesfan]

Last night my six year old was reading Magic Tree House in his bed, and he asked me what “gangly boy” means. I told him it means a boy with long arms and legs. He looked at his short arms and legs and asked if he was gangly. I said no, and he asked for an example. So I presented Yuzu.

“Oh I know him”, he said.

“And that helps him skate beautifully”, I added.

“Like this?” my boy asked. Then he stood up in the bed, spreading his arms and legs, mimicking the turns and footsteps, even jumps, like he was skating. He watched Yuzu’s R & J 2.0 many times with me from iPad.

“I feel I am gangly like Yuzuru Hanyu”, he said.

I laughed. And suddenly I realized how much I miss Yuzu.

Wish him well, from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for sharing this - very sweet!

Such a sweet story! : And this is completely irrelevant, but Magic Tree House is wonderful, and I'm so glad the series is still popular among children today

A news link was posted in Yuzuru's facebook group from a Shangai's newspaper

apparently the organizers have received the registration of Yuzuru, meaning that it's confirmed he'll participate at worlds. It also says he is training in Toronto.
:think: Don't know how trustful is this information.

The link is broken for me, but I thought registrations start 1-2 weeks prior to competition? :think:

Page 10: http://isuprod.blob.core.windows.net/media/165972/wc2015_first-information.pdf
Entry Form for Competitors are said to be submitted by March 2nd. Today is March 3rd in East Asia already, I bet the information is true. He's most likely to be in Toronto now.

Saw this on twitter: I guess a young Japanese skater made the same costume as the one Hanyu-san wore at CoC.

This young skater looks so cute! this makes me miss his original costume for poto...

I have not been watching TV lately because of research work, may I know what channel showed the Worlds teaser?

From this it looks like it's Fuji and it aired quite late at night...here's a tiny clip

NO!!! Just when I'm trying not to think about this...
World Championships ruins my life.

Hanyu knows how to give the judges intense expressions.

Imagine being a judge and Hanyu skates past, after doing a quad and gives you a killer look like that.
Or his blinding smile?

My brain would turn to mush and I'd give him 10s across the board.
It's a good thing I'm not a judge.

Quoting a friend who have seen Yuzuru live here :

Yuzuru's expressiveness was so BIG and so wild, he went for everything with 100%, skating on some deep edges and as fast as he could and jumping with absolutely no fear of falling

Oh please let this be true, after the lack of information, most of us need a chill pill like this.

That's very sweet. Seems like your boy is a mini Yuzuru fan.
