Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

tumblr user ice-kingfisher 's translation from today's news
"This year, I was able to win the gold medal at the Olympics and World Championships, and I achieved many good results. I think it’s because of the fans’ support that I was able to win this award. I will continue to work hard to be noticed, so please continue to search and support ‘Hanyu Yuzuru’ next year as well."

”I turned 20, and in Japan the idea is that I’ve joined the ranks of adults, but in my heart, it’s strange if I say I want to remain a child… but I want to remember my ambition and pursue my challenges. In my life, I want to grow every day, even in small steps, to be a proper adult.”

"I search myself a lot. I actually search ‘figure skating, videos, hanyu yuzuru’ quite often. I check articles about me, and they’re useful when I want to check my past forms. Please continue to search Hanyu Yuzuru."

i hope he doesnt read negative comments about himself and feel bad about it, knowing his personality he would learn from those too though :laugh:
 
from anaandherbrain's tumblr
“Reporter: You work with Brian Orser, who also trains the Japanese Hanyu, winner of the Olympic gold in Sochi. Isn’t it weird to train alongside your main rival?
Javier Fernandez: When we are training, he is part of the family, a training mate, not a rival. They call us “the cricket brothers” and with that you can get an idea on how we support each other when we have a bad day. Also, it always helps to train in an environment where the level is so high, because it makes you push yourself a bit more.”
— Javier Fernandez for El pais.

ahh how can you not love those brothers :o:
 
：）
I am a member of that station. The fans also made many voice messages to him to celebrate his 20th birthday in English, Japanese, or Chinese...not sure if they figured a way to send them to Brian (that was the plan). He is deeply loved by many fans there. Fans fluent in Japanese translate news and reports about him on time...I saw a translation of the last chapter of Brian's new book, which particularly addresses to Yuzu.

I am trying to put a rough translation of some points there:

Brains says Javi is like a lovey & handful (this may not be so accurate) son to him, while Yuzu is like his twin brother when he was at the same age. He understands Yuzu because he sees himself in Yuzu.

As a coach, Brian sees something he did not see as a young athlete. Yuzu has been trying to put out 100% in his performance, 365 days a year to fulfil his responsibilities to the people who support him, just like him when he was young. Brian says he feels it is unnecessary to be your best every day. If (Yuzu) keeps his best performance during practice, such peak conditions may have been advanced before the real competition. Errors and mistakes are actually helpful before the competitions. He says Yuzu may have realized this and started to learn to control the wave of the “peak performance”.

Forgive my poor English, especially this is based on the Chinese translation of the original Japanese version. The credit of the Chinese translation goes to羽生结弦资讯台

Also, I am not sure about the rules here…if I should not have done this (for the concern of copyrights), I sincerely apologize and will delete the post.

Great job by your group @ Sonora.

Any news when Yuzuru will be arriving to Spain? Javi and Shib sib are already on their way.
 
Javi arrived in Barcelona some time ago (?) I think Brian finished Nam's competition Sunday Dec 7, so he'll probably arrive Tuesday (cross date line). Yuzuru is actually at an advantage (time wise) as Japan is 7 hours ahead of Europe.

Sonora - thank you very much to your group for translating and news! Brian's book sounds interesting.

I'm always wondering how these skaters adapt to the competition's time difference compared to their own country (or where they're staying). How do they adapt that fast? Or do they just somehow manage?
 
Machida-san was spotted at the airport in Tokyo I think Monday night around 11pm Tokyo time and gave a short interview too. I would think it makes sense for team Japan to go to Barcelona together, but of course that may not be true.

So jealous of those you going to the GPF! Have a fun and safe trip! :cheer: Can I say that I've switched my work schedule around so that I can stay home and watch the live stream? :biggrin: Hopefully the stream works that day!
 
Oops, never mind. Looks like he was at the Narita airport around 10:00am Tuesday morning according to twitter. Gave a short interview on camera. I assume a video would be posted soon! Safe flight and good luck!
 
Esopian - time changes seem to affect people differently. I have a terrible time with jet lag, and it usually takes me one week to adjust. But I just need to think and talk. I can't imagine how challenging it is to push yourself physically when your body thinks it should be asleep.

thanks for videos, translations and updates, according to the facebook group he left short message at airport
He felt painless now about the injury resulted from CoC. He also found several issues from last two GP competitions. Facing those issues, he came into GPF and he will enjoy the upcoming game as he can.

I know that some skaters alter their training time and schedule at home to reflect the time zone they're going to compete in (see Yuzuru practicing at midnight in Sendai before leaving for the GPF in Sochi). I have no idea if that's a widespread thing though.

Good luck Winnie_20 Can’t wait to hear your report :)

Thanks! I still feel like I'm a little crazy for doing this. I consider myself a noob, I didn't start actively following FS until 2009 or so, and 5+ years later, I still cannot tell the various jumps apart except for the axel. ;-)
So I'm going for the simple beauty of the sports, the beauty of the skaters (ha!) and for the excitement of being there live. In my experience, even the (imho) most boring sports are great fun when you're live there with other spectators.

The simple beauty of the sport (and the skaters!)… that's the best reason. Have a blast! :dance:
 
Well... Looks like no flight today for me. Delays due to too much wind from the wrong direction at Barcelona! Apparently planes cannot land?
