MORE TORONTO TRAINING VIDEOS/REPORTS

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x30p7em_150807-トロント公開練習news-みんな_sport
The eagle 3A eagle is coming back...I still think the landing of his lutz is problematic. But it's great to see him again on TV after a little space.

Another video including quad salchow and some part of step seq of seimei

At the end of the report, I guess with the pictures they ask something about the accident? Can someone let us know what did he say?

He said that (since the COC collision and aftermath) there is nothing that he is afraid of. Since he was able to overcome that, he feels that he would be able to overcome anything.

and another news clip! this one is longer
"i cant, i cant, no!" and that entrance to 4T

This clip is my favorite. He yells, "I can't do it! NO!" in English to his Pilates instructor. It's his childish side. Seeing him training those beautiful jumps also makes me happy.

Yuzuru's part on Figure Skating TV today.

INTERVIEW's TRANSLATION

He explained in the interview yesterday that "试合のプログラムでは自身初めてとなるピアノ曲で、「昨季の世界选手権の前から决めていた。成长できるプログラム」と理由を说明した。" He's already decided to give the SP another season before going into Worlds this year.

About videos and reports from yesterday, some interested in his statement about retirement, career, and the accident at COC..
Today, the article describing them a bit in detail is uploaded, so I made rough translation focusing on his words. Anyone who understands Japanese correct me please.

The last season’s accident at COC or something brought him about some sense of mission.

“I had that accident, which enables me to convey the danger of brain concussion with more persuasion. My experience with mental care after the surgery will help me to support others. Thus, (my works should range to) not just figure skate, but sports overall. I hope to try to approach these areas little by little.”

His study at University relates to psychology, physical overall. Further, four years have passed since he came to Canada. He’d already had the unconventional career plan, but last season’s experience strengthened it.

“My career of becoming a coach seems to be fading away. I dislike being obsessed by some conventional framework. I want to be "Koushi"(*Note: he said “講師 (koushi)”, which is difficult to translate into a word. This term includes much wider range of subjects than a specific coach. Further, it also means something academic. Probably, to instruct, lecture, advise,,, in various sports and towards various athletes. ), if possible. I suppose I can, since I’m studying the areas around mentality or practice circumstances.”

His role is to convey his experience with “Gold medal”, which is not limited to winter sports.

“I hope to work in Japan, focusing more on supporting younger athletes. If I exclusively belong to a certain organization (about my job), I may get more stable income. But I don’t wish it. My wish is I’ll go to as many places as possible (as a freelancer)”

Gold after three years is the unchanged biggest goal. At the same time, another dream is there.

“Pyeongchang (The next Olympic after Sochi) has been my goal since I was very young. It’s to end with Gold medal at Sochi and another at Pyeongchang, and then turn professional. I’ve wanted to perform as a pro still in my best shape, rejecting turning pro after losing my best. There should be what it needs to be a professional.”

Now he intensely concentrates on his competitions without a single of indulgence.

“My impression is I come abroad just for the sake of skate. I must devote myself to skate more and more. There’s no classroom, but study is necessary. Thus, I seldom go around, eating out only a few times per year. At my days off, I just take a rest for skate. Sometimes I do training; I do something refreshing; and when I stop practice due to any trouble, I study about that. “

That accident at COC generated another feeling.

“I come to have less of fear. It’s feel like not something to fear but something to awe. Difficult... Even if I fall in any conditions or circumstances, I can feel that the things will be settled, since I was able to get over that (COC accident). I'm sure that I can improve my skills, I can do skating with more confidence, and I can get my practice more effective.”

This young king has pride and responsibility and confidence. The future with various possibilities lies ahead the way from the stormy last season.

PHOTOS & OTHERS

I really love photos by Sunao NOTO.
- Like an actor, in white ANA jersey!
- Cool and sweet! in UA

I love this photo by Noto (looking up high, at white Legend after the disaster) around 0:48 more than else. Noto’s comment about it is really warm and touching… @Maria victoria introduced this video before.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP97yONyGG8

- There's bling on his new UA at the upper back @0:17 of this gif. A tumblr post stated that the UA was a gift from a fan.

- The news broadcast as seen on board a Yamanote Line train

- Awww!! Nam and his brother Yuzu

- He is looking at you kid

- LOVE the first photo

- Chopin Project Runaway...sample #1, #2, #3

Seeing the off-ice training I was wondering how the pupils of the Cricket Club can feel, training just next to an Olympic champion, moreover when it's Yuzuru Hanyu. It must be amazing and incredibly stimulating.

Just a quote from an icenetwork article on Nam: It was difficult for Nguyen to find his motivation this spring, since Orser's top two pupils, Javier Fernández and Yuzuru Hanyu, were not at the Cricket Club.

"I always like to look up to skaters who are stronger than me, so I am more motivated to work hard when Yuzu and Javi are here," he said. "But Yuzu is back in the rink sometimes now, if he's not working on choreography in a different rink. I am looking forward to September, when Javi will be back as well."

how cute sota is! such a fan boy, he says " “Hanyu-kun will retire after PyeongChang Olympics…I will work hard so I can go with him. "

If I remember right: with PW he broke the WR 4 times right? (Considering both 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons)

Yes
1. Skate America 2012 – Seattle/Kent, Washington: 95.07
2. NHK Trophy 2012 – Sendai, Japan: 95.32
3. Grand Prix Final 2013-14 – Fukuoka, Japan: 99.84
4. 2014 Winter Olympics – Sochi, Russia: 101.45

Jumps BV calculation

Allow me to do the math.

Parisienne Walkways
4T: 10.3
3A: 8.5*1.1 = 9.35
3Lz+3T: 10.1*1.1 = 11.11
TOTAL BV: 30.76

Chopin Balade no. 1
3A: 8.5
4T: 10.3*1.1 = 11.33
3Lz+3T: 10.3*1.1 = 11.33
TOTAL BV: 31.16

DIFFERENCE: 0.4 points. You may have noticed that the BV for the PW combo is lower than the one for Chopin. Keep in mind that I applied the new rules for Chopin, and so the 3T is worth .2 higher than before. Spins and steps were not considered here, but since the spins are basically the same and the step sequences are level 4, the difference in BV between the two programs should not be affected by those.

SEIMEI LP
4S: 10.5
4T: 10.3
3F: 5.3
4T+2T: (10.3+1.3)*1.1 = 12.76
3A+3T: (8.5+4.3)*1.1 = 14.08
3A+Lo+3S: (8.5+0.5+4.4)*1.1 = 14.74
3Lo: 5.1*1.1 = 5.61
3Lz: 6*1.1 = 6.6
TOTAL BV: 79.89
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, same goes for the SP. And we also have to consider that the spins, steps and choreo were not taken into account here at all, so the BV of the program should be slightly higher.

His full BV for long program (including spins, steps) should be something like 95. Counting possible score for that long program if he skates it perfectly clean it should be score around 205-6 / 113-115 TES ~~ 92 PCS

Congratulation! Happy 4,000,000 views! Thanks for all of your lovely members! Go! Yuzu!

(About his statement about turning pro after 2018)

On August 7, several Japanese media largely reported about it at all once. Finally, foreign media picked it up.
http://olympictalk.nbcsports.com/20...-retire-figure-skating-winter-olympics-japan/

On August 9, another news was aired, where yuzu showed embarrassment and surprise about the big impact of his statement. Yuzu provided new interview today.

Eta:translation is below @alia posted thanks.

[matmuh]

thanks mikaboo, hamaguri and everyone for updates and videos and translations!
looking at the amount of transitions and choreo, i started to agree with Brian that he might get pretty high scores (probably not 106 though) if he can cleanly execute Chopin (which is very hard XD), he is crazy :hopelessness:
and 4M views!!!! good job everyone !

 

[giulia95]

I'm confused ... did Yuzu say in the interview he has not decided if he retires from competitions or not after the next Olympics?:shocked:

 

[Interspectator]

He said that after the Olympics his views might change.

 

[alia jackson]

Thanks Hamaguri for sharing the latest interview and initial translation.

Also translated by Sophie Moroi @YHIF FB

“I am a bit perplexed as I hadn’t expected such huge reactions [to my comments] .”
“I only expressed my [long-held] dream to become a professional figure-skater. There still remains a possibility that my aim as a competitive figure-skater might be different at the time when the Pyeongchang is over. I would just like to do my best until Pyeongchang, and then think of my next step after that.”
“I have had a determination to win a gold medal at 19 years old and another gold at 23 years old. I just would like to concentrate on the competition right in front of me.”

Yuzu is only 20yo, at this time his biggest goal and concentration is repeating gold at 2018 Oly. Anything can happens in 3 to 5 years from now. Let give him time and space to make his decision. If he does retire in 2018 at least we are fully prepared, if he decides to extend it will be a bonus.

Oooh that black and red UA

 

[Lindacrow]

He said that after the Olympics his views might change.

Kinda like Mao 50/50

 

[skatefan22]

ETA: Japanese media reported about it as big news, so his side may have decided to ease it. It’s natural life plan changes from time to time. I just conveyed his words. I hope this will not cause any confusion.

,

Agree. He has said his plan several times before. Knowing what a determined and strong-minded person he is,I think he just came out to ease the situation a bit, and then he would still follow his plan.

 

[yhmafan]

Kinda like Mao 50/50

Personally, he might take a year rest after the next Olympic.

 

[giulia95]

He said that after the Olympics his views might change.

thanks for the reply!

oh, what a diplomatic answer!

It's funny how Yuzu is a bit perplexed as he hadn’t expected such huge reactions ... doesn't he take psychology lessons at University ?

 

[HanDomi]

I think it's simple , if he will be able to still maintain physical ability and land many quads then he may rethink, but if not he will retire. We seen a lot guys not being able to land quad consistently after many years of career.

 

[Pamigena]

It's funny how Yuzu is a bit perplexed as he hadn’t expected such huge reactions ... doesn't he take psychology lessons at University ?

To be fair, he often causes not-normal reactions. Just look around. Many of us are at least some kind of nuts not sure his studies have already reached the level of abnormal psychology.

Exactly!! that's why he shouldn't be so perplexed!!

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm going to take psychology this upcoming semester at college/university (However you call it)

 

[cheerknithanson]

I want these next 3 years to go as slow as possible. What am I going to do when Yuzu retires? It makes me sad just thinking about it

No!!! I can't even imagine what will happen. And how I will handle it!

 

[Pika]

No!!! I can't even imagine what will happen. And how I will handle it!

Same here.... There will be a blank

 

[skatefan22]

No!!! I can't even imagine what will happen. And how I will handle it!

He will turn pro and do ice shows. Just follow and enjoy his ice shows.

 

[cheerknithanson]

If I have the time lol. That is if my plans work out and if I go to med school.
