Yuzuru Hanyu: 2018-2019

https://twitter.com/bluecosmosh/status/1063749464223973376?s=21 Yuzu arrived at arena

He arrived there way later than usual according to the report by TV Asahi, I guess he was resting or getting treatment at the hotel.

I hope his performance will be over safely.

Appears that he injured whatever foot it takes to do the 3A... But great fight! Amazing he didn't withdraw.

 

[eaglehelang]

Yeah, 1st time seeing Yuzuru fall on a 3A. Then doing a single Axel. Smart not to do the 4Loop.
He was surprised at the LP score though, it was better than what he expected.

 

[Silvia451]

He's such a fighter! I'm a little bit worried, but I hope he is ok. Good that he didn't try the 4Lo.

 

[firal]

Just as Orser told him as he came off the ice, he is a fighter! I will never not be shocked when he pops or falls on axel, but at least it's an issue they can pinpoint, most likely to do with a tender ankle.

Don't apologize!

When I saw Coach Bi with a worried face I know something is not right

 

[firal]

Yeah, that was some honest reaction to the high PCS he got, I think he was not expecting that.

 

[JuliettaG]

He's a fighter! I'm really proud of him. Now rest please

 

[DiamondDust]

He really fell on his best jump (strangely, I kind of expected even, urgh). But good effort overall. I love that step sequence.

 

[laiyamanika]

Congratulations Yuzu!
I'm surprised he got the first 2 quads but then he fell on his 3A :eekn:
Please rest well. You fought hard.

 

[HanDomi]

The layout change threw him off, hopefully no injuiry

 

[matmuh]

figher indeed!! so relieved and happy that he is willing to compromise his layout, if it was 2 years ago there was no way he would, beginning of the program was just amazing with 2 sublime quads!!:luv17: he lost it a bit at the end but he can be proud of himself, now go get some rest Yuzu:agree:

 

[Shedi0806]

I thought for a sec that he was gonna cry and I said aloud "please don't cry!" Congratulations and make time to relax!

 

[yude]

Is everybody watching medal ceremony?

 

[Nachi]

Is the ceremony right now or later?

 

[LeeJiHye19]

Is everybody watching medal ceremony?

Is the ceremony right now or later?

Victory ceremony was later I think

Maybe Yuzu's Axel problems were actually attempts at the 4A...?

I don't think his 3A fall was overrotation.

 

[hanyuufan5]

I don't think his 3A fall was overrotation.

I don't mean an overrotation, I mean trying to do a 4A and either not quite having the momentum or just plain freezing up.

 

[Interspectator]

This FS just encapsulates why us fans love Yuzu so much.
-He's a fighter,
-He thinks on his feet
-He doesn't let adversity stop him
-He pours out all his energy to give his best performance

I really hope the sprain is not serious. When talking to Shuzo he said it was 'loose' I hope it's only a sprain and not anything more serious.
This was a beautiful performance. One that he can be proud of. I'm so proud of him.

Thank you all for joining to wish Yuzu good luck.
Thank you Yuzu, and congrats on the Gold.
