Yuzuru Hanyu: 2013-14 Season

[Yuzusan]

SOI has ended. Now he has 8 events left (7 ice shows - 17 performances ). Not to mention various interviews and talk shows (if he agreed to all the invitations).JFS is surely the most greedy federation!!! Someone stop him please!!!

- April 26 Gold Medalist Celebration Parade (Sendai)
- May 10~11 Prince Ice World
- June 6~7 Fantasy on Ice Makuhari
- June 21~22 Figure Skating in Beppu
- June 27~29 Dreams on Ice
- July 5~6 Fantasy on Ice Toyama
- July 12~13 Fantasy on Ice Niigata
- July 18~21 Prince Ice World: Tokyo

June and July will be hard for him ! But, do not underestimate him, he is mature and if he feels injuries I think he will take some rest. Besides, Orser said in an interview that this guy has many shows so the coach is aware of that, i'm sure when Hanyu will come back to Canada, Orser prepares a special personal training for him. At least, Hanyu brings on his luggages, the feeling of a succeed 4Loop so ....

The kid needs a fund-raiser of his own :sarcasm:
if we all donate a few bucks maybe we can buy him a whole day off and a full night's sleep
(I'd consider it a worthy cause)

this is a wonderful idea!May be Japan NOC , whic paid for Yuzu to train in Canada for two years, wants the money back now !!

Evgeni Plushenko talks about Yuzuru Hanyu (a part from the "Evgeni's truth" interview for British Eurosport, 27.10.2013)

Evgeni's message to Yuzuru after the Olympics (Japan TV)
http://youtu.be/bqKmVumc0b4
Zhenya's speech and Yuzu's response are translated by user let`s talk from http://www.evgeni-plushenko.com/
"The Japanese subtitles of Plushenko's speech:
Dear Yuzuru. Now you are the champion. You are already the top skater in the figure skating world. I want you to take not only one Olympic medal but also many medals in the future. I believe it's possible for you to do that. You have a lot of talents to get many medals. But the most important thing for you is to be healthy. I hope you will. Now I am the FAN of yours. Thank you.
Yuzuru: (*obviously to reply on the Japanese subtitles and not on the original Plu's speech in Russian)
I was very moved by his words. I can't believe it. I was working hard to be like him. And I am very moved now by his words. I will surely take care of my health well enough. I want to skate for a long time without any injuries or damages.
The original Plushenko's speech in Russian:
My dear friend. Now you are the Olympic champion. It's the most dear title in the world of sport. I wish you to gain in your whole career and to have on your chest not just one Olympic medal but as many as possible. I am sure you can do that. Because you are a genius champion, a talented sportsman, you are hard-working, you really like to work hard. But the most important thing.. (*video cut). (*cont.) .. as I alread said, I am your fan. Thank you."

There's a comment on youtube with translation. My favourite part with Plushy calling himself a genious one more time is omitted, hehe.

Until now, Mao is injury-free (still she is just 23). But Dai... you know he had to withdrew from both GPF and Worlds because of knee injuries.
Anyways the kid is more crazy than any skater, he always want to perform 100% in gala. Not to mention he use 3A as warm up. It's Nobu's words, not mine.

NOTES: I have edited the links in media thread.

I thought Dai injury came after a fall back in 2008?

Injured Dai skated at JN ...

Yuzuru is a rare skater and a rare creature!! I guarantee you it's so easy to be his fan actually compared to last season, when he took incredible scary decisions and responsability and same fans even called him a hotheaded kid!

But Yuzu was not hotheaded , he was simply consistent with himself as usual , that's why the little mouse won the lion !

I thought this kind of lift is, um, ouchy. For a man, you know. Maybe I just don't get the technique as I've never paid enough attention to the pair skating. Really funny, though. I remember someone performed a throw jump. Not sure if it was Lambiel or Weir.

I mean, aside from injuries, has it ever seemed that they were not fully recovered from a previous season and could use more rest? I hadn't watched FS for 3 years so I have no idea about their condition then.
Thanks for updating the link. That porcelain baby face looks like it was never affected by puberty. Lucky him.
