SP K&C "I need to get my Pooh"

the poor cameraman runs to collect Yuzu and to bring him back to the K&C!he looks like he’s really astonished!


Thanks everybody for updates and translations ! It has been an exhausting weekend, but I’m sure Yuzu will quickly turn all his frustration in fire and strenght!

You know I have been wondering about that. Among all the thousands of poohs out there, is there an 'THE POOH' the original? The original one Pooh that ruled them all?

 

[Yuzusan]

Just to watch the championshipActually I flew almost half the earth to meet Yuzu...there were disappointments of course (that is, I think Yuzu skated his fs very slow and laboured. Such a pity that this time I couldn't get to see his fast and "floating" skating skill), but overall Yuzu is much more perfect than I expected. He has the strongest presence on the ice. He really commands you to fix your eyes on him. Just like others have said, he has a very special aura around him which none of the other skaters have. I have so many good things to say about him that I don't know what to say now:hopelessness:

Wow where are you from ?I mean for example i cant imagine myself go to shanghai from France just to watch a championship ^^

 

[Yuzusan]

Okay, seriously guys, who feels sleep deprived after worlds? I mean yesterday I woke up BY MYSELF at 3 in the morning to check out the results for the ladies event. Then I tried to go back to sleep until my alarm went off to watch the men's event.

Wow, this forum is updating so fast I can't catch up. Still hasn't sunk in that Yuzuru got 2nd. Oh well. I'm happy he medaled.

That's why before leaving i note in which page I stopped to read

 

[Pamigena]

You know I have been wondering about that. Among all the thousands of poohs out there, is there an 'THE POOH' the original? The original one Pooh that ruled them all?

well, THE Pooh would of course be this Pooh, right?

(one Pooh to rule them all, one Pooh to find them,
one Pooh to bring them all in the brightness bind them
in the land of ice where dorkyness lies. )

 

[Hanmgse]

That's why before leaving i note in which page I stopped to read

I do the same

 

[Poice]

I'm watching gala on british eurosport and my stream died just after Capellini/Lanotte... My luck... Anyone has it? I mean Yuzu'z performance from british eurosport?

 

[Caustica]

(one Pooh to rule them all, one Pooh to find them,

Well, this Pooh is only the latest really! He had another Pooh tissue box cover before that (wasn't stuffed-toy-like though) and a Pooh towel... So when did the Pooh saga begin?

 

[Yuzusan]

I do the same

LOL guy It is compulsory to do that if I dont want to be tired to read all the page. Besides, if you are a maniac, you cannot miss one page, you must read every page ^^ (like I am xD).
Hopefully the season is over ( apart WTT we will see) and in that case, i dont take note , the ryth is more peaceful.

 

[Rissa]

Polish Eurosport comentator, from the gala:

"I stand by my statement that Yuzuru Hanyu is the best skater of all time."

And the lady comentator was over the moon with the friendship between Yuzu and Javi and gave gim gold medal for fair play. :yes:

 

[Pamigena]

Whatever Pooh comes with Yuzu is currently king of them all. The power of the Pooh travels with him. It's a hereditary Poohship and Yuzu the head of its Poohristocracy.

Worlds 2015 part 3
25/03/15

News clips this morning.

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2khoid_羽生結弦らが公式練習-2015世界フィギュア_sport

Just as I hoped, it has been done: Cute fanart based on the pic where Yuzu lay over Pooh-san

What the heck is he rolling on the ice......glad that he can still smile through it

i think this wasnt shared before, his practice session(27 mins), he so funny ,taking advantage of mura's POTO to practice his 3F

Looking into each other's eyes...

Apparently Denis Ten watched (maybe he was just happened to be at the rink at the same time) Hanyu-san's practice at the practice rink yesterday and the newspaper this morning are all over this rivalry. I guess the Japanese media loves the rivalry angle above anything...

26/03/15

Come back to Yuzuru's height again
https://twitter.com/Meiln9255/status/580928488674226176/photo/1

Mura is listed as 1m70 and here Yuzuru stood side by side with him, Yuzuru looks about 4 or 5 cm taller!

Yuzuru is a sloucher so... But I think 4cm is right. So the Korean site is right again. 1m74.

And here, the cutest. If you fall.. get back up with a HUGE smile
http://yuzulist.tumblr.com/post/114649924329/yuzuwalkways-if-you-fall-get-back-up-with-a

Today's practice:
before music: 3Lo, 3Lz, 3Lo, 3F, 3A, 3A1Lo3S, 4T (fall)
with music (FS): 4S, 2T, 3F, 3Lz2T, 3A3T (shaky 3A, no combo), 3A1Lo3S, 3Lz2T
after music: 3A3T, 4T(fall), 3F, 4T (pop), 4T, 4T, 4T (hand down), 4T, 3A, 3Lz (pop), 3Lz3T

I love love how he closed his hands into a fist at the end

British Eurosport: http://youtu.be/zFHnwnH5YpY

And a volunteer on weibo said they saw Yuzuru changed costume and there was a scar on his upper body, very long. They exaggerated it a bit I guess since they said it's 10cm. But I guess it's just 4cm as Yuzuru himself admitted.

FS order in case anyone's interested

Photos time

I could not have asked for more, he did the best he can out there.

So what's D-10 thinking here? My money is on "get a room, guys"

Congrads to javi and Yuzu. This is the best results considering his physical condition.

Proud of you

Hit with plushies in the head... Maybe fans should stop trying to throw it AT him. Its happened a few times this season already.

Yuzu roar!!

And I love this ending pose!

First time I've seen a photo of Yuzu's mom in the audience....she looks so worried about him. :hopelessness: I guess whatever worries we had, his mother felt that 100x over. I'm sure this seasons been hard for his family too.....

From tumblr's 311mi:

Worlds 2015 FS Press Conference: Yuzuru Hanyu
Source: @羽生结弦资讯台

Q: How are you feeling after the competition?
A: As expected, I’m still really not reconciled. For the me of right now, being “not reconciled” is definitely the best descriptor to describe me. I have a lot of thoughts right now, and I’m unable to express these feelings in words, so I’ll just say I’m not reconciled. However, I have to say that Javier has worked really hard in training and has done his very best. People around me, including Orser, have all told me this. I am really happy for Javier to have gained such results through his hard work. At the same time, I’m always competing with Javier, the Javier who always says “Congratulations, I’m so proud of you” to me. This time, the roles have been reversed: Javier is first, and I’m in second place. Now that I’m in this position, this is the first time I’ve been aware of just how proud I am of my training mate. At the same time, I’m not that generous of a person. I am not reconciled about the results, and will definitely continue thinking “I will definitely win next time”. On the other hand, I have really felt that my training mate claiming the crown is a happy thing.

Q: I have two questions for you, with the first being why your success rate for the quadruple toe-loop is low lately and why even though your 4S was good during the 6 minute warmup, after Denis finished skating and you went onto the ice, the 4S was not jumped properly. Did something happen in-between that period of time? My second question is that although your two programs have been choreographed beautifully this season, you have yet to skate a clean program. Do you plan on keeping at least one of your programs for next season?
A: It’s true that my jumps during the official practices have been so-so, and it’s true that I was worried about the actual competition. However, regarding the 4S, it has been a lot more consistent than my 4T before I came to China, so I was never really worried about it. Similarly, after seeing the correct landing method, Brian will say that it will do, so I had followed my instincts to jump. Although I was able to land it during the 6 minute warmup, I am now reflecting on it in my mind that if I don’t land it in competition, there’s no significance to it. Also, about my programs, at this point in time, I can’t really say anything for certain about it. However, I will continue feeling regret about now being able to skate my programs without mistakes, and I will feel happy when skating the programs that I like. I feel that I’ve discovered how to correctly portray the Phantom now, and I have a pleasant feeling when I skate the program. This is a program that has given me such feelings and emotions, so I hope that I can continue skating it.

Q: This question is for both Yuzuru and Javier: Your coach is the same person. How do you two balance your friendship and rivalry? How would you describe your relationship with your coach? Is he like a father, a friend, or a brother?
A: If I repeat exactly what Javier says, that’s not allowed, right? But really, it’s exactly as Javier said: We are in a fortunate environment where we can train and skate. My third year since moving to Canada to train at the Cricket Club is coming to an end. Really, since the first year in Toronto, Brian’s “family” has whisked me into their circle, and the person who I feel the closest with is definitely Javier. In the past, we were always rivals, and now, we are rivals who compete for the same titles. When we train together, the level of skill is very high, and we say exactly what’s on our minds. In the past, I had felt excluded, and that training with Brian was very, very difficult and tiring, because I have to maintain a constant level of skill. When I first came to the Cricket Club to train, I had wondered if it would be a good place. However, Javier is really considerate, and to me, he’s like an older brother. Considering his age, I can’t say that he’s like my father, but to me, he’s a very gentle and warm family member. Brian is sometimes like a mom, but like I previously said, as a coach, Brian is really amazing. As a coach, he’s taught us a lot of things. However, he’s not only our coach: he shows genuine concern for everyone at the Cricket Club, always protecting us from the sides and watching us grow.

Q: This competition, Brian has to train three highly skilled competitors. Why do you think that Brian is able to train all three of you at the same time so well? Especially Nam, who will become even stronger next season. Also, in the advice that Brian has given you so far, which one do you think is the most useful?
A: Like I said before, Brian was probably present at all the Grand Prix assignments. He really trains a lot of different skaters, including ladies’ singles. I always find myself thinking about how amazing Brian is. It’s because of the Cricket Club team that we are all able to raise the level of skill during training. This team isn’t coached by only one person, though. There’s also Tracy, who is commentator for television, and many other professionals in various domains, with everyone sharing their knowledge with one another. It’s also like with Javi and myself, always caring and looking out for one another, motivating each other, and allowing one to realize that being lazy will do you no good. Brian is definitely really amazing, travelling with us to our competitions, aiding us in training our conditions, and bringing out our attention and focus. However, I won’t thank Brian alone, I will thank all the coaches at the Cricket Club. Regarding the advice, he’s given me a lot, so it’s hard to pick the best. However, I’ve always thought… Ah… It’s not good, it’s too hard… (Looks to the side) When I first won the title of Japanese Champion, my performance abilities were lacking, and Daisuke Takahashi had put on a brilliant performance. I had thought that I would lose even though I had the edge going into the free skate. However, in reality, I had won, My feelings at the time were not very pleasant, and I had felt hesitant as well. Brian told me that he became the national champion at a young age as well, and that he had also thought that things were happening at too quick of a pace. He then said to me, “Everyone’s gone through this experience before, and all have gone past it like this.” That phrase had supported me at the time. There are lots of words of praise and judgement in the figure skating world, but this piece of advice is the reason why I am always able to believe in myself.

Q: I have two questions for Yuzuru. Firstly, a lot of athletes say that defending a title is even harder than winning a title. With this in mind, does this mean that there will be less expectations and pressure on you? My second question is how do you plan to deal with all of your Winnie the Poohs?
A: I entered this season bearing the title of “Olympic Champion”. During my first Grand Prix assignment, the Cup of China, till the end, I had the thoughts of “Because I am the Olympic Champion [I need to skate well]”. However, during this competition, I did not have such thoughts and I simply only wanted to skate well and believe in my training. Although I sometimes think about defending my titles in my head, more importantly, I’m always thinking about how I can show my very best during my skates. About all the stuffed animals, I’ve received a lot of gifts, haven’t I… Really… Ah… (Covers face and thinks) How do I put this… Mhm… Yes, good… I’ve really received a lot of presents, especially Winnie the Pooh stuffed animals, which has become my mascot now. For that, I’m really grateful, and I’ve received everyone’s feelings. It’ll be really difficult for me to bring all of these home, and I don’t have a plan to deal with it. Because I’ve received these valuable presents from everyone, I want to be able to help society with them. In other words, I plan on donating them. For example, if I were in Japan, I’ll donate them to the preschools and the like in my hometown.
