Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[firal]

Only looking at the GPF schedule now and realizing I will not be able to live-stream his SP! Gosh it's been a while since I have not been able to do that! Instead I'll be at work fighting the urge to use my phone to check results.

Video of Yuzuru arriving from Japan news

Another video of his arrival. Looks like he arrived at the same time with the Chinese pairs. Saw Yu/Zhang and maybe Peng/Jin is there too

Medvedeva wishing Yuzuru a happy birthday!

I'm late to the congratulating but HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUZU!!
I hope he can have good performances at the GPF as a present for himself. Good to know he is France already, I hope he is getting a good night's rest for the first OP.
Go Yuzu

Medvedeva wishing Yuzuru a happy birthday!

Nice of her to do that as the first thing when she wakes up :cool14:. It was probably 5am Marseille time

And looking at videos of both Shoma and Satoko getting off their flights, they look much more tired and like it was a long flight while Yuzu looks in pretty good shape! Looks more well rested than them. Myself, I would look much more like the other two with such a long flight :yes:

Not sure if this was posted but here's the music rotation for practice.
Chan, Hanyu, Uno, Fernandez, Chen, Rippon.

In my eyes adorable than cool :luv17:

I think he's both!

:yawn::yawn: Yuzu said that he is so used to taking long flights that he always sleeps the whole trip. :yawn::yawn:

Here's a rough translation.

The plane delayed due to weather conditions in Munich, arriving at marseille at 10pm. When asked about the unexpectedly long flight duration, Yuzu laughed: "I have fun playing games as much as I like. It's been long for me to do so."
“Surprisingly I don't expect the need for the 4th win, and I think that this is nice. I felt pressured last time as it was the first ever three consecutive GPF wins, especially after the fantastic results I achieved in NHK. Without the tremendous pressure this time, I am very excited over the opportunity to renew my own record."
“I am confident in my performance. My focus is to adjust my condition after NHK. I have gone through thorough practice, so I am relaxed and fully trust myself."
"I am happy to compete in the GPF and celebrate my birthday every year."

Thanks for the translation. Is there a link to what you're translating? Is it from a video?

He sounds verrry chill... :shocked: I'm not used to that at all LOL. He looks very relaxed in the photos too, so I'm very excited to see what he can do with this mindset going in!

It's a combination of various Japanese news. (Source: 羽生结弦资讯台)

the fact that he says he is confident somehow makes me feel more nervous lol

He said as if renewing his own record is easier than winning GPF. our baby is one of a kind.

I saw so many beautiful handmade cakes and artwork/crafts on twitter. Maybe I'll do a roundup post later but here's another really cute cake. They had a party/get together. Some more pictures from their party.

Nam was wearing the 24HR TV charity shirt in one of his recent snapchats Wonder if Yuzu gave it to him as a gift.

Happy birthday Yuzuru! Hope training in Marseille goes well! Good luck at GPF competition!

 

[Plumededragon]

I'm a bit disappointed he wasn't in Canada, but at least it explains why we had no news of him yet.
Bienvenue à Marseille, Yuzu!
I wonder if he'll be at practice later today, considering he often skipped it. He didn't skip it in NHK, tho. And since this is GPF... well, I'll go, anyway.
At least, he does look happy and in good health.

He didn't show up at morning practice the first day in Skate Canada, but he did visit the rink to do some image training since he had to be there for the draw anyway. He probably has to show up tomorrow morning for the draw as well.

It seems that Yuzu will just let his fans to be nervous for his stead but it's nice to see him relax for once
