Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

[danni]

Thank you for sharing
it’s a very detailed documentary with timelines and his plan towards the Olympic. It hurts to listen to him taking about the painkiller decision. I am so glad that it work out according to his plan, at the end, Plushenko’s estimation was spot on, 3 or 4 quads is good enough to get him the gold. (I love how he talks about the last 3Lz, it’s against the physics.)

Pleeeease, could you translate ? Thank you !!!

I accidentally found this thread about 2018 OG predictions after Sochi and it's a fun to read now, give it a shot:

I liked this comment:
"Yuzuru and all the Russian girls will have to skate their lights out in order to even contend for Gold in Korea."

I remember there was a Waseda university congratulation message for Yuzuru, can´t seen to find it, can someone provide a link please.

Tbh, I thought that was a given, ever since his first comments at the Olympics. I don't think it's a question of a long time, I think it's more a question of not making it an even longer time if he now continues training and competes, thus making it worse.

Better off ice for a few months, than a year.

I am not an athlete and have not been injured badly in my life, so Yuzuru's comments about the painkiller reminded me again how strongly it affects the human body. He really didn't want to use it because it would put off his recovery and possibly damage tendon more. I'm glad he could enjoy the gala practices etc. with other skaters since he said that was what he wanted before he returned to the dark time again. While receiving the treatment and doing rehab, maybe keeping himself busy with attending many events in spring could ease his mind a little, not too focusing mentally on rehab or treatment. But it is Yuzuru, he'll be thinking about only figure skating all the time, haha.

He has three official events today. I hope he can go back to Sendai soon, but there will be many people waiting for him everywhere , too

OK, with all the information I now have about his 4A, I'm ready for the next season.

There will be a full translation soon-ish on tumblr but meanwhile here's a twitter thread with a summary (though it ended up being a thorough summary) of the NHK documentary.

Shoma is trying very hard to stay awake. These poor guys. So sleepy. Let them sleep.

They all look tired, Yuzuru looked like he was falling sleep

LOL Shoma is so relatable.

Trying to stay awake during speeches is harder than getting a medal at the olympics.
