Yuzuru Hanyu: 2018-2019

I find it funny about commentators, if other skaters do worst than Yuzuru is just a bad day or they may have an injured they have yet to talk about, but when is Yuzuru is a prove that his time is over and he is not "that good" :rolleye:

This. I really can't understand the reasoning behind their mind. But maybe this the the price Yuzu has to pay to be the GOAT. He's being held at a different level.

https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2123711/full/ Congratulations Yuzu for winning the Big Sports Award again this year!

https://twitter.com/yuz_StayHealthy/status/1064155267523272705 another clip from before the medal ceremony, lots of people congratulating and talking with Yuzu.

https://twitter.com/R_Toy_World/status/1064149101288218627 The band Rhythmic Toy World, which Yuzu has recently been listening to before competition, all gathered together to cheer him on and watch his skate.

Johnny sounded unusually subdued in the SP. Did he already know then?

Aww, that's wonderful about Rhythmic Toy World!

Translation: "On the contrary, we are the ones who have gotten the courage to do our best (ganbaru)".
 
Johnny sounded unusually subdued in the SP. Did he already know then?

Yes. Tara, Johnny, and Tanith are all using the past tense and referring to Yuzu’s final GOEs — their comments were not recorded watching the performance live, but after the event.
 

Oh gosh, I could only understand a little, but what a little sweetie. How sad he looked and sounded and how Yuzu has so many people who care about him all over the world and of such a huge variety of ages got me all teary-eyed.

He said that Yuzu "skated well" and I think something about his papa (I guess about how the program was a tribute to him).

Here's the original and a translation of the comment on the Instagram post:

https://www.instagram.com/gnomgnomych/p/BqUrIcwgRHr/
"I was very upset when I saw that Yuzuru is injured and he is on crutches with a bandaged leg! We are very worried about you, Yuzuru! Get well soon, our champion., We believe in you and love you"

That is when we will know for sure. Dec.3rd.
Rest well Yuzu.

Let's all :pray: he receives the :thumbsup: on Dec 3 from the doctor.
And that he is really feeling well at that time.
Honestly, the 3rd week of resting if we base on Nov. 18, is on Dec 2.
:ghug: at everyone, its going to be a grueling 3 weeks.

Efforts will lie but it will not be in vain for Yuzuru Hanyu.

And for some reason I glad its in Vancouver. Because just in case he goes (which we wish given he is healthy) He can have extra days rest since the travel time is not high.
 
I do like Mishin's comments - it seems praise is hardwon from him, and therefore genuine.

Mind you Rafael Arutyunyan's comments after the SP (which I didn't keep the link for, sorry) were also nice to read. He's a Hanyu fan anyway, and I've had a soft spot for him ever since, after Yuzu's injury last year, he smacked down someone who crassly asked how it would improve Nathan's chances in the Olympics...

New Xylitol packaging? Or is this old news and I missed it?

It's new, there were a set of clear files with him in the costume and fans going into raptures over them (they were utterly gorgeous from the 3029759274 pictures of them on the web)
 
The outpouring of support for Yuzu is so nice to hear. From fellow athletes, coaches, musicians and of course fans around the world. :ghug: We can keep it up till he's better and we can see him skate again.

Here is a translation of a Sportiva article. Thank you to the translator!
Consecutive GP series victories. Yuzuru Hanyu’s reasons for skating the FS with an injury at the Cup of Russia
http://nanoka12.tumblr.com/post/180270019481/consecutive-gp-series-victories-yuzuru-hanyus

...“As at the moment I fell during the run through at this morning’s practice I knew immediately that “there it goes (that I have injured myself)”, I started the process of verification. While moving around the rink a little, I thought about what I would do at this spot, what I would do at that spot. I thought about the new layout during that time. Just that as there were many things I have not done before, as expected it was difficult.”...

It's kinda surprising to know that most of commentators didn't know what happened to Yuzuru at his morning practice before the LP. But I don't find them very negative in Yuzu example the B.ESP they said that "maybe he's [yuzuru] under the weather but it understandable knowing how this guy is in-demand in Japan" I don't find it negative so I can't really understand why some find them negative. These commentators expect only the best from the best and we all are. Or maybe I am just not listening to their negativity and choose only the positive.
