“After the short program, I was quite depressed, so deeply depressed,” Hanyu said. “But I think my fans and the team believed in me, so I think that’s why I was able to pull off this performance today.”
He was alone on the ice, however, and also the one who, according to Wilson, made the big decisions that led to Saturday’s victory.
“When something is taken away from you, that is so motivating,” she said of Hanyu’s failure to win the gold medal in the last two world championships. “To be just 19 and Olympic champion, you’re learning lessons on the fly. And he’s remarkable in how he’s learned and in his strength of character in going after it and staying with it. Even with adding the quad loop and doing four quads, we talked to him about it and asked, ‘Do you really need it? Why not the quad loop with three quads and then add in?’
“And his answer was, ‘This is why I do this. I want to push the sport. I want to push myself.’”
topic: Pooh is looking great! :luv17: He looks freshly dry-cleaned and so fluffy! I saw Yuzu giving him some soft squishes in the KnC when he was waiting for his score. So sweet.
OK, I don't want to go to the Men FS thread so if someone can copy paste my comment there I would appreciate.
! 
and the quad contest! 
. Hope to dream about Yuzu doing a 4A and landing it perfect.
