Key points: - yuzu cried when he saw Shizuka san ㅠㅠ - yuzu felt regretful, and spent the past 3 days thinking that his efforts didn't pay off. But he wasn't certain if it would pay off anyway. His goal wasn't winning, but he did think abt leaving empty handed (DUDE 4A!!) twitter.com/news24ntv/stat…
- yuzu felt that if his skating had left an impact, even for a fleeting moment, all would be worth it. - yuzu skated without feeling his right leg (INDEED THAT WED INJURY) Shizuka san asked yuzu to praise himself first to receive praises from others. Yuzu left with a wide smile.
Yuzu leaving with a wide smile reminded me of that big smile he had at a pre-Olympics interview with Shizuka san
bringing back the clip where Shizuka san assured yuzu that his achievements will never be forgotten/changed and that to go all out to achieve his dream in the Olympics (clip not translated sorry - just enjoy yuzu laughter at the end XD)
See it for yourself. JSF reaction after Hanyu's perf, after Shoma's, after Yuma's The cold treatment. No standing ovation for the biggest of names, a trailblazer who just perf. an incredible feat with injuries. We mean it when we say JSF h8tes him. twitter.com/yuzu_sasshi/st…
"Reporters who wish to enter (the mixed zone) may enter freely, but on the day of match that Hanyu participated, ballot would be conducted on an exception. This was to prevent overcrowding if all news outlets were to enter" Those selected celebrated with a guts pose✊"  🤣🤣🤣 twitter.com/kahoku_shimpo/…
Video highlight of Yuzu's ten-to-chi FS was shown during intermission for ice dance. At the end of the video, the subtitle read: "Hanyu Yuzuru, you're our hero" #HanyuYuzuru #羽生結弦 😭😭😭 twitter.com/ky100709t/stat…
On the future "...(that) can be decided later. For now, i just want to focus on the gala. Of cos my foot is not of condition; it cannot be healed in such a short time, to be honest even walking is painful. Regardless, i want to perform and will put my heart to it." [0:15-0:52] twitter.com/eyoki4/status/…
"Even if Hanyu is not a prince, his existence is the God of the World. I will be so depressed the entire day if i can't see Hanyu's smile." Matsumoto san 🤣🤣🤣 twitter.com/aoyamahanyu/st…
Food for thought from Javi "Judges consider landing to evaluate a jump... But they should also consider the take-off. So many skaters rotate half a turn less just in the take-off. What is fair? And what is not?" twitter.com/traveler_mizuh…
Koshiro kun (yuzu's Jr.) commented on 4A "I do not think a great skater like him will appear in the future. A 2x OGM with the gold medal in sight this time as well, no one would attempt 4A under such intense pressure." twitter.com/miyabiucchi042…

🇰🇷KBS: "It's not only the jumps; his fingers, looks, facial expression, Hanyu has the full artistic power. He is the one who uds FS the most and expresses it at its best. Many skaters look up to him and respect him. May today's stage not be the last; we'll wait for his return." twitter.com/bluemist1120/s…
"I think 4A was my only motivation after PC. It was really like a vision, just a joke that i said in a heat of passion, and i have spent four arduous years of chasing after it." [1/3] twitter.com/yzkyun_4A_mami…
a volunteer's ultra cute encounters with yuzu 。゚( ゚இ▽இ゚)゚。 twitter.com/ffkuma/status/…
a reporter's acc "be4 & aft every practice, yuzu would go one round to greet and thx the media. he would initiate small talks w the media, prob b/c he felt bad as they waited altho there was no scheduled interview. the media would say "well, he's soft-hearted again today"🥺
"There is no basis of comparison to Hanyu's 3A; there is no one of his level. GOE can increase based on the complexity of skate b4/aft the jump... others are not willing to do jt as they will fail. That's the fact." 👏👏 -- Sano Minoru san, FS commentator twitter.com/miruru1207yuzu…
embarrassed giggly yuzu sliding across the ice, the same 8 yrs apart
yuzu once caught death glaring his mom b/c his gloves were of the same side🤭🤭🤭 ⁽ᶦᵗ ʷᵃˢ ˢᵃᶦᵈ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʰᵉ ᵍᵒᵗ ˢᶜᵒˡᵈᵉᵈ ˡᵃᵗᵉʳㅋㅋㅋ⁾ ACI17 twitter.com/RedYuzuru/stat…
"What kind of impression do you have of your mom?" yuzu's answer ㅠㅠ the sweetest child for the gentlest, and yet the strongest mom
The leap to victory💫 13yr yuzu clinching his 1st JNat Jr.🥇 to 27yr yuzu clinching his 6th JNat Snr.🥇
Ghislain on yuzu, interview excerpt from FS Life "When he first came, i hadn't gone to competitions with him, but he would send practice clips to me immediately aft. He did send 30 clips to me b4. Although i replied immed, he knew that i would too... esse-online.jp/articles/-/181…
Bcs i said b4 「For you i could 24/7, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, i would spare time for you. Contact me anytime.」He would send at 3am and i would reply by 3.30am. I respect his diligence." GHISLAIN !!!! ㅠㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Ghislain once said in Le Journal de Montréal 2019: "I devise a unique set of training methods based on my research on the biomechanics of jumping, and yuzu follows thru my thinking and method. He is a role model, and he can grasp the technique better thn anyone..." 1/3
"...His competence makes my work easy, on the other hand bcs of his high standards, he also brings me a lot of challenges..." Ghislain on yuzu, 2019 2/3
