Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

Yevgeny Plushenko picks Yuzuru Hanyu as likely PyeongChang Olympic champion

Didn't he correctly predict Hanyu's victory in Sochi? I hope he's right again. Of all the top 6 we've seen in GP so far, I like his programs the best (although Nathan's are really good, especially the SP).

I'm very glad at his prediction because he is very good in doing it if my memory is correct. (Did someone remember his prediction at Worlds 2012? Didn't he predict Yuzuru will get bronze there? Or I may be totally wrong ) Yes, I hope he is right again this time, too

As an addition to the translation of the Seimei costume Nikkan article, there's now also translations of the annotations on the sketches included. Check the tumblr post again for the additional info:

I love seeing the detailed notes from the designer. Too cool!

Right! I read it then. And Plush said in 2010 when they met in Plushy's Japanese summer tour( Yuzu played soccer because of him ) he is the future of figure skating.

The outfits for the Olympics were revealed, this time, REEEDD!!

These outfits are for wearing in the athlete village and medal ceremony, etc.

I like red, but the puffy-ness confuses me...surely there are other ways to keep warm?

Yuzuru's photo and poster exhibition in Sendai seems to be very successful, it started on this morning and more than 500 people had lined up before it opened :shocked:

OT but slightly of interest since it was discussed earlier, Patrick has decided officially to pull out of NHK.

Wow I did not realize it's next weekend already!! He is probably on his way to Japan if not there already?

I'm really sad that Patrick won't be there, he's been such an integral part of figure skating and also Yuzu's personal journey in the sport.
NHK is coming up so soon! Anxious and looking forward to it!

Official practice is on Thursday, assuming that he will practice on Wednesday somewhere else, he might come back to Japan on Tuesday or so (and it also depends on the flight from Toronto to Japan). I hope both Yuzuru and Orser are doing well

Any confirmation yet whether Brian is going to NHK or not? I know he's not in China with Javi right now.

Well Brian had said he would go, but I guess we won’t get any actual confirmation until we see him there

It seems Lee Barkell at CoC told to some fans that Tracy 's gonna be with Yuzuru at NHK , we shall see.
I hope Brian will be fully healthy by GPF

Let's hope Brian recovers soon! I remember an interview with Yuzu where he said that Tracy was the one who helped him a lot mentally, so I'm sure if she's the one going she will be a great support to him!

 

[kiches]

Well if Brian won’t be at NHK at least Yuzu has had experience with a similar situation at WTT already with Tracy instead.
