Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

https://twitter.com/hyumdj7xc4/status/989428437105364992 Here's everyone again, this time at the Skating Federation's award ceremony.

https://twitter.com/sunao_noto/status/989430862381961216 There is a different photo expo starting at Ice Rink Sendai.

https://twitter.com/Iron_Klaus/status/989447389416214528 Yuzu can't ride a bike, and other comments at the awards ceremony. :biggrin: Translated.

I haven't seen anything about the tea party yet, just that he went after Sochi. I think (forget which one) of the awards is on June 8th? And there are P&G days in May and June, but the dates haven't been announced yet. I'm assuming he'll head back to Toronto this weekend?

There's the talk shows P&G arranged, may or june. Then photoshoots, video shoots which usually happens during off season

Thank you! I guess we will still be seeing him quite a lot this off season then. What a treat! As a new fan, after the olympics I saw older fans telling us to brace ourselves for a long period of drought especially since he is still recovering. I guess I have the post Olympics hype to thank. It’s great that we could see him skate at CiONTU and possibly at FaOI (?) :D
 
Some parts are overlapped with other translations but this article has some more words from Yuzuru.

"Now I still have feeling of accomplishment of winning back to back, but after doing ice shows, (I think) I am still lack of something as a competitive skater. I would like to pursuit what I want to master and improve, and I want to be a skater whose skating is liked more."

"I want to do 4A no one has done before, and if I came to be able to do that, I would like to try quintuple jump. No one has done it yet and I think the impact on the foot (feet?) is great. I don't think I can do it easily, but I wish I could land it someday after having many practices."

So he never answers Beijing Olympic question and is unsure of competing for 2022 but is already thinking of Quintuples? He cannot possibly land Quintuples in 2 seasons can he??? Those 2 statements somehow sound contradictory and I want to examine Hanyu's mind to find the truth and his secret plans [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
 
https://twitter.com/norakuro008/status/989488019412475904 Yuzu in a hurry, look at this light hurdle jump. :eeking:

From Nao Kodaira's twitter https://twitter.com/Nao_kodaira/status/989495518416945153 Both doing the side lunge together. :luv17:

That mini hurdle jump gave me flutters. Thank goodness he landed it well.
Here's another cut with him smiling dorkily.

@yude I am gonna be in kobe in june 17 is there a way I can go to the p and g talk show? Or if he is going to FAOI how can foreign fans buy tickets?
 
Hmm, actually, I’m not sure which award is in the photo frames everyone is holding. Maybe we’ll see a close up soon.
Ah ok, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see :) There’re just too many medals/awards!
Well, not too many for him because he deserves them all.. but just too many for us to keep track :biggrin:

Hahaha Well, from what we’ve seen in the translation, he didn’t actually specify that he’d like to land the quint in a competition though. So we never know... :scratch2:
But then again, considering his drive and competitive nature, if he could consistently land a quint, he wouldn’t not want to land it in competitions :laugh:

How much harder is a 5T compared to 4A though? I don’t skate so I don’t have a slightest idea on how jumps actually work in practice. If I were to go by what I’ve seen/read over the couple of months though, I would imagine that if he is able to do a 4A, the 5T shouldn’t take that long after? I don’t know... I’m just judging based on how a lot of skaters can do quads but still struggle on or choose to leave out the 3A ( like Trusova? I understand that she doesn’t do the 3A right?) so the 5T with the toe pick to assist the take off might be relatively ‘easier’ step to go up?? :shrug:

Someone who skates or has good technical knowledge, please shed some lights for me re the relative difficulty in obtaining 4A and 5T? Thank you!

There is the lottery for both talk shows and ice shows, and for talk shows, we have to buy some P&G products and send them the receipts , and I think its deadline is in this week. But ice shows in Kobe, we have still time and its general sale will start on May 12. The easiest way is to ask your friend in Japan if you have any, the official web site doesn't say how to buy the tickets from overseas. http://www.fantasy-on-ice.com/ticket.html

He once said he wanted to try 4A in ice shows after his retirement, so he might try quint in ice shows someday :biggrin:

About Beijing Olympics, I feel people ask him the same question like a greeting for the coming years and I hope he will not take it very seriously (and the same goes to us, haha).
