Thank you all for sharing information, images and feelings. I'm calm and confident. Seeing the tranquility and state of mind of Yuzu during the training, left me relaxed. He is happy. I decided to launch for him only positive energies of health, happiness and fulfillment. I believe in the strength of our thoughts. Ganbatte Yuzu! You will win.
 
:yes2:......plus he looks so handsome :p

Welcome back Maria :gclap:

Thanks Alia! And let's continue keeping this thread a happy and positive place much like Yuzuru himself, who despite difficulties continues to forge forward with determination and optimism, eyes fixed firmly on the prize. Not a bad approach to life in general I must say. :)
 
to calm our 4cc nerves, spanish media just posted short documentary on Javi and there's Hanyu starts in 8.26 and they use fanart lol. The content is nothing really new i guess.
the rare sight of hanyu wearing cricket jersey and there's Mama Hanyu(?) watching her son too.

Thanks for these links!

Actually I checked the docu a bit and the part where they train at cricket and Yuzu's + Brian + Tracy interview is in English (and was spanish subbed, not dubbed) so I think you can watch this even without subtitles. I am going to watch this and maybe extract what Yuzu said there :biggrin:

As always, he remains an excellent sportsman. Yuzu said that he has a very hard time handling the pressure, and sometimes Javi helps him, when he is nervous, Javier tells him something funny or so. He even says he owes some of his triumphs to him. He says he still feels weird in Toronto, mainly because of the language barrier.
But even though I read the subtitles, his English was perfectly clear :yes: It's always very nice to see his improvement :biggrin: This was around the 20 min mark.

Transcript of Yuzuru related part from Javier's documentary

5.40 Orser said he normally starts training with the athlete in June

8.39 Orser talked about how he first got to coach Hanyu "
They want to keep it top secret, I have no idea who it was. I was going to Japan, they took me to some hotel. We had a private meeting. I walked in and there's Yuzuru Hanyu. I was like, this is the last person on earth that I actually thought would be asking me to teach."
So Brian asked "So, why do you want to come with me?" And he just said "I want to come and train at your rink, I want to train with Fernandez"

9.24 Yuzuru : "I really wanted to practice with Javi, because (his jumps?) looks like really easy and really constant with music in competition.
Brian : So I come back to Japan, I saw Javi and I said, there's a skater that wants to come. I just want to talk to you about it and see if you are ok. He said "who is it" and I said Yuzuru Hanyu and he was like "oh that's fine." He didn't care"
They're complete opposites. When you think about the Japanese culture vs Spanish culture. Yuzuru is here, very sheltered and very protected, he is with his mother. He does do his studies, his university studies, and he's not social at all. You have fernandez who is here on his own. He has his own apartment, does his own cooking, his own cleaning and he has some friends, he's very social. On weekends he will have go downtown and have some beers with his friends while Yuzu is the opposite.

10.33 Yuzuru : "This is 5 years. Living here. I usually feel strange (?). Because I usually speak in Japanese with my family, with my friends."

10.59 Tracy : "When Yuzuru first came, Javi would be coming to the rink with his ski jacket on, he'll be taking off his guard, sipping his coffee and Yuzu would be doing a 3A. And You see Javi go : coffee down, jacket off, boom gotta get to work."

11.25 Brian : They both are better because of each other. Javi's better because of Yuzu and Yuzu's better because of Javi."

Olympic cuts. It is interesting but about Javi and the comments he made being a burden to him in the Olymppics, but will not explain it further.
Brian talked about missing the Olympic Gold.
Parts about Javi winning WC

20.57 Brian : I think technically on the ice they're pretty much the same. Hanyu really flies, more than Javi. He really flies. He just soars. He (Javi) is much more relaxed than Hanyu. I think that's why he tends to compete better, and Hanyu is really focused and really intense, a little bit too much in my opinion.

21.19 Yuzuru : (can't quite catch what he said here I just translate from the spanish sub, he said I can't withstand the pressure?) Thanks to Javi I can beat my pressure. When I feel nervous, he's going to talk about something funny. So I think I owe what I won to him."

Anyway, it is an interesting documentary. I think mostly the parts there are not really new though there are some I have yet to hear before. I don't speak Spanish so if Javi said something about Yuzu I have no idea what it is. :biggrin:

I wonder when they did the filming for this

I would guess late in the summer? Since, going by their GP events and public agenda, they would have rarely trained together during the season.

Due to the terrible time zones and my exams, I will probably not be able to watch Yuzu's SP live, but I wish him the best of luck! I've seen him smiling so much during practices, this competition has some good notes from me already just because of that. Go Yuzu! :yahoo:

Nothing much other than the fact that seeing him train pushes him to do better on his bad days. And that perhaps their friendship has distanced a bit in some ways after they started beating each other for the big titles, but that it's something they understand, because they know how the sport is.

Really? :sad4:

It didn't sound at all like they dislike each other, not even like they don't get along or aren't friends anymore. I mean, mcp kindly transcripted what Yuzu said here. Just that they might not be as close as they used to?

Not surprising, I think that they still respect each other and are friendly towards the other which is more than enough. Two main rivals training in the same rink often could be complicated. It was quite bad for Yagudin and Plush.
