Yuzuru Hanyu: 2014-15 Season

[Meoima]

And the bus incident seems like an accident that could happen
(like, dunno, a sudden fan attack or whatever)
same as blaming certain skater for leaving a full rink of poohs behind =D

As someone who have worked at the sport arena the whole 4 years in college, I'd tell you bus accident is not uncommon at all. Athletes get on the wrong bus, wrong time, wrong location. Sometime it's not anyone's fault even in chaos situation. I was scolded by the managers of some athletes for some mess during that time ha ha, kinda embarrassed. But yeah, mess has happened with the bus and sometimes it's poor organization/misunderstanding.

And if I recall correctly, Yuzuru was arranged a car for him right? I remember there was a photo by a volunteer in Shanghai in which he was sitting in a car (with face mask) and reviewing his jumps on Ipad, and the photo was kind of dark as it was taken in the evening, someone even said he felt asleep on the car. Anyone remember that photo? I don't think he went by bus, there was a car for him at Shanghai.

Just listened to The skating lesson with Gracie Gold's former coach.
I highly recommend it. He is just hilarious and so funny and his accent is just spot on. )))
He said that highlights of WTT is LP of Liza, Jason, Yuzuru.
He said that if both Javi and Hanyu skated clean, he would place Hanyu higher for overall skating quality etc.
It seems he is very fond of Yuzu.
Also he said that Satoko has typical japanese landings of jumps Oda and Yuzu alike, smooth knee and great flow.
And he said he likes both Satoko and Lena.

I don't like the skating lesson, and by the comments looks like the guy is a tool to Gracie. Don't feel like watching

who knows how should ask the posters who mentioned that at Denis's thread

Nah, don't feel like dealing with crazy conspiracy people...

That doesn't sound like something Yuzuru would do, it doesn't even sound like something Denis would say. Sure, none of us know them personally, but from what they come off as, doesn't sound like them at all. Yuzuru is a good sportsman, many people have said it, would someone who took the silver medal with dignity and is so tough on himself be the same person who would try to sabotage a fellow athlete? Sure, he has a very intense competitive drive, one of the strongest in the field, but it doesn't seem like it would lead him to do things against other skaters on purpose. Do you think he would consider he would need to use such tactics to win? Do you think he would even be pleased with himself by winning that way? As it has been mentioned before, if they're faking it all, then they're really good actors, because I've also never seen them being unfriendly with each other.He's compared Denis to Alexei Yagudin for crying out loud.

And from Denis' side as well. Denis is one of the most mature skaters, do you think he would be the type to vent out his frustrations to a tabloid? I think it's more likely that he'll post it on IG before giving it to a gossip magazine.

Wow. Who seriously made up this bull-schnitzel thing about them being ill-blooded to each other? Makes me mad to see anything fake about any skater I like.

Yuzu indeed is always followed and surrounded by a bunch of people - JSF personnel and his body guard, and probably journalists. It is possible some of them just accidentally get into somebody else' way. Backstage is usually a mess after all...

 

[alia jackson]

Hi Alex. I regret that you brought up this article here, it is not worth discussing. I'm from Russia and MK has a bad reputation here, some people call it yellow press.

Thanks PatrickGaze. This is all tabloid, speculation and conspiracy theories. Denis and Yuzu highly respect each other. We should stop and don't make it any worse by speculating on tabloid.

 

[ahkeekee]

Let's forget this weird Tabloid and spend Our time looking at yuzu's beautiful and infectious smile

I don't really believe Denis would say that.
Yes Yuzuru has some people (JSF employees, his mother and a lot of fans) around him every time he waited for the bus when he left the hotel. But he just appeared based on the bus schedule and took the bus with all the other skaters. He usually sat in the very behind rows. That's how we saw that picture Jason took with him. I saw one time Javi is waiting for the bus with him. They didn't show up at the same time but in the end they got on the bus together. So no worries I suppose. And I really don't think JSF is that powerful in a competition held in China.

Wow that is priceless! Hope we can see more of these moments next season.

I don't like TSL too, but this episide was interesting for me, guy was coached by famous russian coach Stanislav Zhuk and told about his methods too.
He was brutally honest (what to say Liza's dress is good cause hides her "not pretty body"). Though he pretty sure roots for development of Figure skating and Liza is number one for him.
As for Gracie it's obvious he cares for her and his advises given there weren't bad.

You're welcome alia. Seriously, Yuzu is so loved by everyone (remember Shanghai gala, everyone just tried to at least touch the kid) and so many different people show fondness and respect for him. He is not a good target for tabloids to with their nasty stories.

Yes you're right! For someone who loves Winnie the Pooh so much especially XD (I would insist that people who love these sort of things can't be evil)~ Pooh-san is the greatest witness that Yuzu is a kind and gentle person~:agree:

edit: have this and this been shared before? I just happened to find this video while fanatically searching for yuzu's videos to cure my ihys a bit, i miss him already now...

 

[alia jackson]

Do we know when is his second surgery is scheduled?

 

[alia jackson]

This looks like a new clip looking at his 4S and how he improved it this year (from 4:00min). If anyone could help with translation would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Oh! How I wish these videos were shoot in front of him. I want to see his facial expression.

Thank you so much. Actually there are so many false information in this "interview" I think people should notice and do not get panic either on Yuzuru side or Denis side.

1) The music incident was in the SP, not LP. In the interview it was said "free skate music" right, this is definitely not true. How come Denis himself doesn't know his own music and his own program? It seems as if the reporter invented the story.

2) And it was not "wrong music", it's his music, it was turned up in the middle, not from the beginning. So the description in the interview was not the same as what happened in the reality.

3) In the interview it said Denis used two different skating boots at Sochi because someone broke his blade.
But last year Denis himself explained that the reason was him breaking his blade during one of the competitions before Sochi. My Russian friend remembers the case and she told me exactly what Denis talked about the boot, so it's not anyone fault at all. How can you tell A to the press last year, then this year you tell B? That doesn't seem right.
I think Denis was misquoted or someone twisted his words. Typical bad journalism.

4) My Russian friend told me she has asked 3-4 friends of her and they all call MK (the site publish this article) as pure rubbish. Much worse than Daily Mail in UK.

5) My Russian friend also said: It was republished by MK in 17th. If the article were trustworthy, it would have already become headline in Russia. Today it's 20th already and no big site touched it.

6) Oh please China and Japan are not that close. If you know the political wind here in East Asia you have to understand: These countries don't love each other. JSF has no influence over Chinese Fed in China. It was Chinese Fed who organized the event, remember?

So I hope this case is closed now.

thanks Echo Cheng from facebook group, part that about his 4S

Yuzu watches his successful 4S video every bedtime, remember the right time of take-off, right time of rotating in the sky and right time in the lading. And then he practices each details while looking in the mirror.

he lives, breathes and sleeps figure skating

He threw it too far. I don't believe he is a good pitcher as Kurt has mentioned: http://hanyuedits.tumblr.com/post/116915299392/yuzu-threw-one-of-the-signed-balls-to-the-higher

^^ Yuzu really really really loves fs, you can totally feel his passion for it! It is so touching to see a skater who loves skating so much do so well in his career so far!

This is so true!!! This entire jsf doing such a thing during the worlds sound so much like a drama and movie, the more I think about this accuse, the more i find it funny and unfounded! LOLS

By the way, anyone know what happened to his bathclin cm, which I believe (if my memory's correct) was said to be out like this month? Has anyone seen it already?

hahas~ that's because he has spent all his life and energy practicing fs instead! so i guess his pitching is not as good as he was back then...
