I woke up and watched new great interview by Yuzuru :thumbsup: I can't explain well, but can I just say his personality has not changed a bit after achieving almost everything? Also I personally feel it is good for him he can say "I can't say the injury has been completely healed." because I believe it is a truth and he is being true to himself and accepting the fact. While I still hope his injury will be gone forever, the comment gave me strange relieve that he would continue to be careful about his ankle all through his competitive career.

I am so glad to hear he was able to do 120% in Toronto Now all I can do is cheering and supporting him. Go Yuzuru!!

I'm so happy and relieved that Yuzu continues to be Yuzu. First practice today I guess?

I guess usually practices are not open to public in Japan, so this one being Worlds everyone is cherishing the opportunity to see training gear Yuzuru in person?!

First practice in is the morning/noon time for the men. I tried to find which practice group he'll be in but can't seem to find it.

Bless you for the update, Interspectator

For some reason this Worlds, I am rooting for Yuzuru to take the gold now more than ever. There is some amazing competition for him to go up against this season and I just feel that this is a pivotal moment in his career. Possibly the most important outside of Sochi and Pyeongchang...

Good luck, Hanyu! I hope to see you add another World title to your achievements :gclap:

When reading the practice reports, I get as nervous as competition.

There was also a cute moment at the press conference when Shoma and Yuzu looked at each other and laughed.

Twitter absolutely exploded the moment he stepped into view, there are heaps of pictures and clips and he looks wonderful... and healthy and happy.

(Mind you, the CROWD that was there just for the practice was jawdropping, as many as a lot of quite high level competition would get and be thankful for.... and I don't think anyone can be under any illusion as to who they were there for :luv17

Yuzu was in group 2 main rink practice.
The crowd was huge and when he skated around the rink he was looking at the crowd cheering for him.
I lined up a bit early like 6:10am. Managed to get row 2 spots after the premium section at the back of the judges.
He was smiley and determined. Definetly looking good.

Looking at the photos and video posted, it looks like the supposedly practice session turns out to be unofficial men’s event, given the numbers of spectators who are present lol

From Titter "Sina Sports has the best headline - "Yuzuru Hanyu's first practice to thousands of cheering fans. After he got off the ice all 50 cameramen left...also of the 40 article reporters there were only 4-5 who stayed."

Y'know, it's a good thing he's humble and sweet-natured, a boy could get his head turned just a tad
