“The person at the top of that wall was my 9 year old self. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up. I thought, ‘Oh, this is what Yuzuru Hanyu’s Axel is’.”

I have to say after the 4A fall in practice and seeing the grimace on his face in the morning in his jump landings and sitting with quiet fears this whole time, I'm genuinely just in awe of yuzu's fighting spirit

"Hello everyone, this is Yuzuru Hanyu. I'm truly happy that I was able to vow to continue giving my all in order to allow everyone to continue supporting me. In this world where we can not yet see what's ahead, in this COVID-afflicted state where we don't know (1/2) twitter.com/ANA_travel_inf…

This is a touching Weibo post written by a Chinese journalist at #Beijing2022 about #YuzuruHanyu which has been getting a lot of attention from Chinese fanyus: share.api.weibo.cn/share/28172057…

I know it's distressing to hear about the state of yuzu's ankle but tbh, I think everything we've seen in the past few days has demonstrated that healing is so essential not only physically but emotionally, and I respect that he has been making a conscious choice here
31
so it turns out marksus was saving yuzu from another skater who skated a little close, then yuzu smiled and bowed to thank him afterwards. JESUS SAVED twitter.com/jiji_shashinbu…

Yuzuru says that because he was small & not as strong at 9yrs old, he had to be fastest at entering axis and rotation then. This technique was lost when he stabilised the 3A more. So he realised he already knew how to jump the 4A but only 10 days before coming to the Olympics twitter.com/yuzu1207_sakae…

What you found in your hardest moments was the courage to stand up, over and over again, and the even greater strength to share your smile with everyone around you. We remember, we thank you, and we are with you no matter what, miracle boy #ThankYouForBeijingYuzuru
35
he gave it everything he had, as he always does, overcoming battles that would have floored anyone else. I'm glad that he acknowledges it himself and I hope he knows it with every fibre of his being 💙

this olympics felt like the bitterest of winters, where anyone would have been forgiven for retreating into themselves, protecting their hearts. and yet we saw, day by day, practice by practice, the unshakeable love he holds for the ice thawing the cold, making the flowers bloom
37
isu out here with 'thank u for ur service' tribute posts like "sometimes I can still hear his voice" and that voice is indeed yuzuru skating threateningly in the distance going "ehehehehe"
38
I received a very special #YuzuruHanyu story from an anonymous sender today and would like to share this, with their permission. I hope Yuzu will realise that his skating and passion is tied in countless ways, big and small, to so many people's lives ;; 💙

there's a segment playing on JPN TV right now of yuzu doing commentary on tenchi and it was pointed out that he didn't miss the 3A in all three of his Olympics. he said he's really thankful to it, and the fact that it protected him

🕯 may you skate safely, may you skate as you dreamt🕯

#YuzuruHanyu has withdrawn from the World Championships 2022 in Montpellier due to the ankle injury sustained in Beijing not being healed. Kao Miura will be replacing him as the substitute. twitter.com/SponichiF/stat…

英訳: Mankind lives in order to express themselves. I've come to feel this through my job as a photographer. There is no unrewarded effort. There is just expression. Whenever I watch him, I think I should also work hard myself. (1/2) twitter.com/yaguchi_toru/s…

yuzuru's methods of communication with the fandom:
✅ national television
✅ national newspapers
✅ selfies with small children
✅ kobayashi reading announcements
✅ nobu's line messages

Apologies, I should have been clearer about the definitions. Yuzuru Hanyu will be continuing as a pro skater, meaning he is retiring as a competitive skater and continuing to skate (generally in ice shows and the like)
