Yuzuru Hanyu: 2017-2018

Thank you for sharing!

I thought he was doing the rehab in Japan But yeah, as I said before, it is much easier for him to get the ice time privately if he is in Toronto, so this is really good sign IMO. It's spring break here and probably Ice rink Sendai is crowded with the public and the same goes to other rinks, and pro skaters also have to practice their programs for the spring shows.

I hope he is already working on the new programs, finding the music or discussing some ideas with the choreographers

But he's not supposed to be skating

Skating can be very many things. I am sure he's not, at least not in the way you're thinking. He can just glide around a bit to keep the feel of the ice and not go crazy too Don't worry, it'll be fine, they're great at stuff like this and personally, I'm happy he's in Toronto because it's the better place for him to keep an eye out for everything.

I believe he has been doing the rehab according to their plan The resting period must have been over and he started to skate only to feel the ice with no jumps (from Orser's comment). About working on the new programs, he can do many things without being on the ice, meeting with the choreographers or editing the music And he has confirmed he will not skate in CiONTU so I guess he has been taking the training carefully and slowly.

I guess it's safer if Brian is watching over him than if he was in Japan.

He's definitely back in Toronto
His hands tho

 

[Interspectator]

I think that clinches it. He's teleported to Toronto.

He has manner hands. It's out of respect.

 

[shiroKJ]

I wonder if he's back in Canada for his new programs

 

[Yatagarasu]

New rules though, so doubt it. Just rehab probably.

ETA Though I suppose you could be right in re to the SP. That is doable!

Manner hands?

 

[Yatagarasu]

Manner hands?

Not touching the woman with your hand. It's also called 'hover hands' and it's a sign of respect.

 

[cruzceleste]

I have heard of that before... but then again I´m latino, we are touchy

 

[chopinskate]

Manner hands?

I believe it's because he's taking care not to wrap his hand around the girl's arm. It is considered respectful to do that.

 

[MalAssada]

Not touching the woman with your hand. It's also called 'hover hands' and it's a sign of respect.

That's interesting, I hadn't heard of it before. I don't consider myself latina, but I am touchy.

 

[chopinskate]

Yuzuru had manner hands when he was posing with Zag for photos after the Oly gala, too.

Yes, I'm touchy myself but I've seen this often, especially with Asian men. These were the easiest to find:

With Alina, and in general, once you notice, you'll never miss it again

I have notice he does it, sometimes, but I never new it was a thing

Even buzzfeed made an article abut it

Cultural differences I believe; in one culture (mainly Asian) it is considered to be polite and act of gentleman to not touch someone when posing (not taking advantage of the opportunity), but in Western cultures the opposite might be true. It might be considered rude or "oh, you don't want to touch me, is there something wrong with me?".

Complicated, I know! :noshake:
