Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

Not open for further replies.

The magazine will contain special features on Yuzuru and other Japanese star athletes born in the same year as Yuzuru like Ootani Shohei (baseball pitcher), Fujinami Shintaro (baseball pitcher), Hagino Kousuke (swimmer), Seto Daiya (swimmer), Takagi Miho (speedskater), and Miyashita Haruka (volleyball player). All these athletes belong to Yuzuru's age group, hence the term Hanyu/Yuzuru Generation (kinda reminds me of Matsuzaka Generation :laugh:). On a slight tangent, Seto Daiya also attends Waseda University and he respects Yuzuru as an athlete.

Love the cover :thumbsup:

Thank you Alia! I like very much how he cares about Shoma! So nice of him! Trully he has a golden heart ! :luv17:
 
I'll just add. Yuzuru pretty much mistakes sensitivity and vulnerability for weakness in my opinion. It's actually strength to be this emotional and in some ways fragile and still be able to adapt and to gather himself together and find the solution, rule himself. No mentally 100% stable person will understand the hardships of emotionally not-so-stable people. He's actually grown a lot on that aspect, all by self-analysis and stuff.

He is very sensitive. Maybe being too sensitive is a weakness for a competitive athlete because he can be easily affected by his surroundings. But I think every human being is affected by his surrounding to some extent. Nobody is immune to his surrounding. But a more sensitive individual is more affected by his surrounding. I think Yuzuru's performance is perhaps more affected by the audience's reaction than other skaters. He performs better in front of a more supportive crowd and performs worse in front of a less supportive crowd. He is very sensitive. He can feel the atmosphere in the arena right away. He often does well in some countries (Europe and Asia) and does poorly in some countries (almost always in the USA and Canada).

He is very much loved by fans everywhere except USA and Canada (I'm not too sure about Korea. But men's skating is not that popular in Korea.) Most American and Canadian fans like skaters with refinement. Yuzu is too wild, unpolished and explosive for their taste. He does have fans in the USA and Canada, but they are the minority of the skating population in the USA and Canada. Most American and Canadian fans only cheer for him when he does well. (I actually feel many of American and Canadian skating fans dislike Yuzuru.) Fans everywhere else will cheer for him even when he doesn't do well. In fact, Yuzuru's worst performances (excluding 2014 COC) all happened in either the USA or Canada. Being sensitive can also be a plus. Fans' support really drive Yuzuru to perform well. He does well in every country except USA and Canada. Even in China, where he has the worst luck, he was able to fight through his performance despite his physical condition and mental condition were not at his best.

(I hope those patriotic Korean casual fans don't show up at the 2018 Olympics.)

Thank you :).

I would like to report a link to this article of some days ago that I haven't seen reported here before, but maybe I am wrong with so many posts to read: http://www.examiner.com/article/yuzuru-hanyu-and-javier-fernandez-takin g-turns-on-top .
There are some interesting quotes by Yuzuru (but these were reported also elsewhere), Brian and Javier interviews released in the last week.

It is nice because from here it seems that they still get along very well together and I think this is important for the sensitivity of Yuzu: for going still further ahead, that is all we want for him...and for our joy to watch!

Ciao.

Unfortunately it says the page is not found :( Maybe you know where else I can read some of these released quotes? Thanks in advance.
 
Try searching it on the site. That's the way I found the article.

This is one fan from Canada who enjoys Yuzu more than other skaters... I don't think you can generalize Canadians or Americans by saying we prefer refined skaters either... this is the country that adored Elvis Stojko after all...

Oh, I'm pretty much sure Yuzuru has fans everywhere. Everywhere they watch figure skating.
 
I'm American and I went to worlds with a Japanese flag and Pooh ears. I didn't even have an American flag. Not that I don't support our guys, but I knew they wouldn't be low on it. And I'd really only support them for national pride. I think that applies to any skater fan of any country. I haven't been a fan of a male skater like this since Plushy's heyday!! I actually feel MORE invested in Yuzu actually. He's reaching Sasha Cohen levels. I also prefer the Japanese ladies (and Lipnitkaya when she's good) to the American ladies. I love the best skaters in this sport, not the best American ones. If they just so happen to be American then okay. I thought both Yuzu and Shoma received a lot of love from the crowd in Boston for instance even with their mistakes. Especially for Yuzu's SP I was told people were out of their seats before he was done. Yeah they supported the home team too but our guys actually did well for themselves and deserved it. They seemed to support anybody who was skating well.
