imagine pissing MISS YUNA KIM off so badly that she has to post on social media about it
27
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

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…

I have no doubt at least a little bit of this was for all of us to try and ease our worries, so thank you yuzu ;;
30
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…
31
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)
32
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 ;; 💙
33
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"
34
yuzu is live from his hotel room and starting his marathon of tv interviews : ) says he was more nervous than at the olympics
35
English translation of Yuzu's first video on his official Youtube channel 🥳 おめでとう~ youtube.com/watch?v=InG5mJ…
36
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 💙

"I’d like to attempt [the quad Axel] properly without throwing away this dream and without giving up. But I’ve come here accepting that the Beijing Olympics may be the extension to this journey."
one more step forward, yuzu

🕯 may you skate safely, may you skate as you dreamt🕯
39
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

#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…
