Yuzuru Hanyu: 2015-16 Season

[Pamigena]

Remember when I said I was totally relaxed? Forget I ever said that :shocked: I'm having a major anxiety attack right now..... I'm gonna drink my way through this.

 

[liv]

If I were him, I would probably want to go and have a good cry later on... love that he returned javi's im not worthy move from gpf. Classy.

 

[HanDomi]

he must stop doing GP's. It's burning him out

 

[Lydia1703]

I just wonder how he can stay there right now, I don't even want to think about it.

 

[Yatagarasu]

If I were him, and not to mention Brian, I'd think long and hard about what happened here. I mean yes, get the emotions out and I'm happy he remains the wonderful guy he is at all times but that is in a way, forgive me for using that word, superficial to the rest. I'm not upset he lost, can't imagine how he is feeling but I just don't know. He melted down. Anyway, I'm sure they'll work on it and we'll see him again even better next year, in all ways, at the Ws.

 

[serafine]

my heart is broken now. i'm in a mess. imagine how he feels. i will not hold it against javi. i don't know what happen...hats off to javi for holding it on. no matter what, i will always support yuzu and keep on believing in him. today is not the day. chan is skating as i'm typing and i'm afraid to watch. but slowly i let the feeling sink. yuzu, you've shown us what you can do and i will keep on believing.

group hug everyone

 

[gsyzf]

I'm heart broken.

 

[shiroKJ]

Javi did great. Heart broken for Yuzuru but I can't even imagine how he's feeling right now. He must be breaking inside. He totally melted down and I want to cry for him.

 

[Pamigena]

I'm gonna be happy for Javier tomorrow (he does deserve this, there's not even a question about it) but right now it's 5 in the morning around here and I will just go and cry myself to sleep. At least Yuzu's handling it like a champ. I'm just gonna go and be sad now (sue me. I'm not a world class anything. I can afford it :sad21

 

[Sorrento]

Any stream to watch the award ceremony? Not geoblocked one?

 

[invisiblespiral]

Well... that was an emotional rollercoaster, I might've sworn at my computer multiple times, we still got a perfect Ballade, ?

 

[Fayruza]

Where's vodka?
I'm gutted. But he's strong, he'll bounce back. He'll come back stronger.

 

[padme21]

Oh Hanyu.......
My heart breaks for him. To come so close after the nightmare of last season only to.....gosh I'm crying. At least it was Javier.

 

[Lindacrow]

Heart broken for Yuzu but he should be proud of his season and his silver. Of course we all know he wants the gold but you see how last season fueled him this year, so I hope he is not too disappointed!

 

[Sorrento]

I'm not sure if I felt it right but he wasn't himself tonight. And my guess he hasn't been 100% okay physically. I think his trauma bothered him a lot. I had a strange feeling during his SP that something wasn't right with his hip/ankle. Also- his mental condition was very weak. And that is unusual for him. He is more than burned out. He must take a very good rest and do a lot of analysis on this competition.
Also- perhaps he needs to reconsider his training plan to peak for the main competitions of the season. Winning big medals is what he deserves more than anything.
Hang in there Yuzu!

 

[serafine]

yeah twice in a row now...perhaps he is indeed peak at GPF - the pattern 2013,2014 and 2015. i was afraid of this also. we just have to wait what yuzu or orser is going to say about this. for today, i can say the nerves got into him. its like Olympics LP 2.0

 

[shiroKJ]

This is the worst ending to an amazing season. I'm hurting for him right now, you can feel his pain radiating during the ceremony. Honestly speaking, I'm not in the mood to watch any more figure skating tomorrow. I need time.

 

[SuzyQ]

Congrats for the Silver, although we ALL know he is not happy with it, but anyway

Javi was perfect :giveup: Maybe this is good for Yuzuru's feeling as well (even if a little bit), I hope.

I've decided to look for the next season wishing him even better and happier days. (At least) he has two more seasons to get back the World champion, including the Olympics Or, maybe more ? Nobody knows.

 

[liv]

He just looked stunned from beginning to end. Even his opening pose didn't seem quite right. It was like after being so perfect all season, he panicked that he made a mistake on the sal and didn't remember how to fight like he has done in the past. Talk about a nightmare for him... he probably felt stunned throughout the program, wanting to wake up. For anyone else, getting second would be great, but after this amazing season...

but Javi really was perfect. I think him having that foot injury helped him, as it often does for people who get injured during a competition. Suddenly the pressure disappears and they just concentrate on skating and ignore everything else.

I wonder how Brian will deal with these 2 after their polar opposite performances. Last year Yuzu was making a comeback from a terrorized season, so 2nd was ok, but this season... it just seemed he was under more pressure than ever, and could not let it go, poor kid. Go hug Pooh, Yuzu... and take a real vacation, somewhere in the sun far away. Just decompress and forget about skating for a bit.

 

[shiroKJ]

It was not physical. It was all mental which makes it worse. Being in the arena you could feel he was not in the zone.
Truth is he lost to himself, not Javier.
