Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

[Sorrento]

2. He has a new bracelet on. I think I've seen that on him once before.....during a competition practice? :think:

Yeah, we've seen that golden bracelet before, I think it was on World's practice. He did not wear it for competitions though.

Honestly, I would not worry about Yuzuru loosing a bit of weight. Considering he got to train again after months of not being able to do it properly in Toronto, it's no wonder he lost some fat and his muscles developped (though the developement of muscles is much less visible for slender people like him). :yes:

Seems like they are having fun

LOL, the way Yuzuru is squealing! Too cute. And it's always great to see him having fun!

So... can you spot it if the one Yuzuru is using here in the photo is Ipod touch or Sony Xperia Blue? https://instagram.com/p/3NvnhdzBT8/
Or maybe it's Iphone 5S?

I think it's Ipod touch gen 5 blue, but I am not sure.

It's an Ipod touch gen 5 blue, indeed. And as far we know, Yuzu still does not have a cell phone.

^^ I highly doubt he still doesn't have a phone....I mean before it was due to financial considerations but now :think: I can't imagine how inconvenient it must be, but then again he might be one of the people whos gotten use to not having one. (If warren buffett doesn't have one, I'm sure Yuzu could also live without one lol) I'm chained to mine, so I wonder what that freedom feels like

Maria posted another picture with Yuzuru. I love that after months of nothing, we have a flood of updates now

That is not Maria Sergejeva (because Maria is 1m75), the one in the photo also does FaOI last summer, she's from Russian, pair skater? But I can't remember her name. Anyone remember her name? And she also has some photo with Yuzuru last summer too.

EDIT: Ah it's Anastasia Martiusheva!

Worlds! Thanks, I couldn't pin point where I saw it before and it was annoying me

Anastasia Martiusheva posted another update, I think its a photobook from last years show. I love Yuzuru's interactions with Nobu :

@Meoima Ah~ I just see poster's saying it was her. I don't have access to her account so I can't confirm her name. Thanks for letting me know~



Here's Maria She posted another version of same photoset. Maybe they're giving it to all the skaters as momentos for last year.

.

Yeah, another concern is extremely low amount of fat tends to cause injuryhwell:. I wish him to add to a little bit more weight.

You changed your photo following to ahkeekee! :yay: Jonny and yuzu will go together city to city for about one month, so we can get more and more of their photos.

 

[shiroKJ]

Wow....Yuzu has wax figures at Madame Taussauds in Tokyo!! The first figurine doesnt look that realistic, but the second and third pictures are amazing.

Amazing! Too bad its only in Tokyo and not in NY Here's another photo http://sendai.keizai.biz/phone/photoflash.php?id=2444

I didn't notice plumededragon also changed the avatar picture! Lols! I have only been away for like a bit more than an hour and there's so many new adorable pictures and even videos of Yuzu with his friends!! So nice!!

Now, that's true that low fat is not good for health. But I don't think his health team would let him be thin if it was bad for him. And sometimes, people can actually have a hard time gaining weight. One of my best friends, who's naturally slender, has the same issue. But she's being careful and still do sports. Let's trust Yuzu.^^ Beside, Yumi takes good care of her son.
By the way, I just remember: didn't Yuzuru once say a few months ago that he tends to loose weight easily?

Yesh! My two figure skating loves, I could not resist. I thought about chosing an art of kitty Yuzu Jon-san has posted on twitter, but when Johnny posted this pic on his IG, I thought "Wow, that's much better!"

Agreed, I wish this thread would stop talking about his weight as a whole, he is the way he is. He's also a 20 years old and a top athlete, not a baby. How about putting some trust into him and into the people who surround him?

Couldn't find a source for this one, but yet another picture, this time with his idol Plushenko : http://isshokenmei100.tumblr.com/post/120091279849

 

[Morena]

What else we should stop discussing?
It`s not like somebody panicked and said he need a medical help.
It`s true Yuzu looks better with more weight, like he was in Shanghai.

:thumbsup: He is an adult and has enough people in his life to take up the slack when and if needed.

I like the vid of them spinning. Looks like they should be singing Ring a Ring o' Roses. Lol

Its from Plushy's IG: https://instagram.com/p/3OBQnKGy3n/

 

[Lysambre]

Nothing, actually. I didn't order anyone to stop talking, I just said "I wish". And wishes being fickle things, I had no expectations this particular wish would be granted, especially in today's world which seems to be so obsessive about people's weight in general.

I like the vid of them spinning. Looks like they should be singing Ring a Ring o' Roses. Lol

Love that vid, it's so great seeing them having fun together XD

: I missed it somehow when I checked, thank you :agree:

Another photo with Maria: https://instagram.com/p/3OEQA_TBZO/
She's about 1m75 (such height for a lady) so Yuzuru is about 1m73-1m74 here. So I guess 1m73.5!!

Well finally we can put an end to the mysterious case of Yuzuru's height? Definitely he hasn't updated his height on ISU bio.

 

[daphenaxa]

concerning Yuzu's weight, he is working with nutritionists and physios and all sorts of doctors probably so I am sure he is healthy.
Also concerning body fat, male athletes can go down to 5% body fat. Some even go lower (Appolo Ohno was at 2.8% in Vancouver) but the essential body fat needed for survival is between 2 and 4-5% for men. When it's too low you can catch illnesses like viruses and stuff a lot easier for example.
In sports like figure skating, less body fat is actually desirable because it puts less stress on the body for the landings for example. The shock of landing is of course smaller if you are lighter, so it is better for joints, articulations, tendons, bones... everything. So it can actually be healthier because it can prevent injuries. It is also part of the reason why Yuzuru can rotate so fast. So it is understandable that fans can be worried, but looking a bit bigger or a bit slimmer doesn't automatically equal being healthier or less healthy.

For the instagram vid, I love Bjou in the background watching the 3 like "oh children these days...". I also think that it is Oda who is squeaking not Yuzu, but we can't be sure

 

[Eloyse]

But...what if Maria's height is also inaccurateI mean, she's only 22, it's possible she's grown a little bit since her height was last updated.

 

[alia jackson]

Wait they did measure 250 locations of Yuzu's body for the wax figure, so the people at Madame Tussauds will have the latest and most accurate height measurement

Not possible, except if you have a problem regarding the growth of your body (and that's only for the very very tall people, like +1m90), you don't keep growing past 18-19. Yuzuru is smaller than Plushy (1m78), Nam (~1m76), Javier and Johnny (1m75). So the correct height is probably around 1m73.

good point!!! lets ask them
