we will never know how many hidden battles you had to fight to get here, but we are privileged beyond measure to follow you. every single step along the way. fall down seven times, get up eight, and you have done so again, again and again. thank you yuzuru #羽生結弦 #YuzuruHanyu

To be 27 and still pushing the highest tech frontiers while developing even deeper, meaningful artistry. I simply pity the people who refuse to see it. As TAT once said - 'they are arrogant to think they will see another yuzuru hanyu in their lifetime'

I watched him complete that program with courage, commitment to the music and faith to tell that story until the very end, and give the ice the gentle smile after. Thank you Yuzuru, for skating, for fighting the battle that only you can fight #FlyYuzu #羽生結弦 #YuzuruHanyu

‘The person who thought he was the best at the Axel was my 9 year old self. I really have learned various things from him and he is why I’ve gotten this close. I may not have surpassed that child, but I think I was able to jump together with him.’

Comment from Yuzuru - 'My honest feeling right now is that I gave everything I had. Clearly I jumped a better [quad] Axel than at previous competitions. Um, of course, there's also feelings of 'just a little more', but I think that was probably my everything.' twitter.com/SponichiF/stat…

To accept what went wrong within seconds, while dealing with far more intense emotions than all of us watching him, to finish his singularly complex program beautifully after, and to face the avalanche of scrutiny after with grace and a smile. This is Yuzuru Hanyu twitter.com/kattwts/status…
