Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

Yeah, if Brian cannot go to NHK, there should be no problem for him if Tracy is there. She is an incredible support for him too (I'll never forget her words at WTT after his FS, how she said she was so proud of him, that he fought like a champion and left everything out there). But she is commentating for the Olympic Channel, I wonder if she can call it off this week? Because unlike COC were Lee was going too, no other TCC coach is going to NHK. If she can't, perhaps Gishlain (the jump coach who sat in the TJ bench at WTT) could go with him?

I don't think Ghishlain can go this time, he is 1st coach for Cha and You Young,He has to prepare Jun for SA. Either it will be Tracy or Brian who's gonna accompany Yuzuru imo.
 
When the trailer for the CM first came out I thought he was watching a clip of his family or Mom. Turns out it was a special message from Plushenko 😂. He looked happy receiving it though.
 
After seeing the coco footage I'm 100% convinced he should have a red costume, it really suits him!

Thanks for the info! I have no idea what they will show, maybe Mai is going to introduce the venue a little while pair skaters are practicing :think: Of course, she will talk about the Japanese skaters though. I can't watch it live but I will record it!
 
https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20171108-00000176-sph-spo Yuzu did not appear in todays closed practice. Hmm...I hope it's just him pacing himself and being careful with his energy. :pray:

https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20171108-00000107-dal-spo This news clip says he didn't attend the closed practice to take care of tiredness, and that Brian Orser is not going to be here, another coach from Cricket will be there instead...but it doesn't say who.

There are still 3 practice sessions before the competition, I hope he'll be able to recover from jet lag and tiredness and make most of the practice he attends. Japanese skaters will be having press conference tomorrow, so it is going to be a busy day for them (and for us:p).
 
More Mama Bear hugs, yay! :luv17:

Although I would have wanted Tracy too, she's always so sweet. And I do still miss Brian. Too many amazing coaches at TCC... :dbana:
The best thing about Yuzu's situation is: he just cannot be alone really - no matter what. Pooh-san will always be there for him :hap85: (except Olympics, but that would be of apocalyptic dimension, if Brian and Tracy had to miss that as well.)
 
I love the relationship Yuzu has with Tracy and Briand, too.

In Helsinki I caught Yuzu handing Briand his bouqet after the medal ceremony, it was very sweet. I don't think he was with him at Autumn Classic this year but I distinctly remember seeing him at Autumn Classic in 2016 with Brian, and at Skate Canada last year. He may not always be in the Kiss and Cry but I feel like he attends a lot of Yuzu's competitions (even if we never see him on camera).
