I also read some translation of Team Brain (credit to http://www.weibo.com/YuzuruInfoStation#_rnd1422036365310)
Just would like to share a little detail here… LP at Sochi, Javi was the first to skate in the last group while Yuzu was the third in the same group. When Javi finished, Brian did not have time to wait for his score. He rushed to change his Spanish Jacket to Japanese and ran to find Yuzu. When he saw Yuzu at the other end of the hallway, he immediately slowed down, walked over to him instead of running. He tried to act very relax and calm to make Yuzu easy (Yuzu mentioned he only slept 4 hours after the SP, and he felt his body was very heavy during the next morning’s practice for LP).
Many of us may have seen the video where Brian gently wiped away tears from Yuzu’s face after he had a terrible SP at 2013 WC (he was placed 9th). Brian is a great coach who deeply cares about his skaters.
Thanks for the details on what happened at Sochi. Brian seems to have such a caring relationship with his students and he really knows how to approach them
As for 2013 Worlds, that was actually David Wilson, and not Brian, who wiped away Yuzuru's tears.

and story about brian also shows again that he is great coach and really thoughtful , they make great team, whole Cricket family is awesome!
. I wish she is on hot dial to interpret the usual interviews after SP & LP because the officials that were with Yuzu did not interpret his words well enough.
with all the boost. Poor Yuzuru, whenever he skates, despite how hard he tries some people will just jump in with murderous mood
