Evgenia also praised Yuzu at the press conference. "I have been watching Hanyu's skating for many, many years and have seen him developing as an athlete and winning all those medals. Definitely he is one of my role models, like many other skaters."
27
Yuzu and Alina ... Your two gold medalists!

I got some great comments from Philippe Candeloro today on Yuzu. He is here working for French TV. Will write it up as soon as I have a chance.
30
I hope Yuzu will be carried on the shoulders of his fellow ream members at the Closing Ceremony. He deserves to be treated like a hero, because he is one!
31
Yuzu says, "You mean there is no skating today?"
32
I felt fortunate to see Yuzu win the gold the first time in Sochi. To watch him do it again in Pyeongchang makes me feel absolutely blessed. Thank you, Yuzu!
33
I just want to say a profound thanks to all who followed and read my stories and tweets during the Pyeongchang Olympics. I am very grateful to you. I gave it my all every day. My one wish before the games was that Yuzu would bring home the gold again and he did! He was amazing!
34
Yuzu spoke at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan in Tokyo on Tuesday. I didn't get back from Pyeongchang until late last night, so I missed it.
35
Pretty interesting to look back on this now.
Brian on Yuzu: At the 2012 Grand Prix Final in Sochi, "We started talking about the Sochi Games, and he just blurted out, 'I want to win that Olympics, and I want to win the next one,' " Orser recalled.

I wrote this Feb. 15, the day before the short program, talking about Yuzu's stamina after the injury:
"If he is in the lead or close to it after the short program, the adrenaline of Olympic competition and his legendary spirit may be enough to carry him back to the mountaintop."
37
The entire AERA this week is about Yuzu - 98 pages!
38
Just watched a replay of NBC's coverage of the free skate in Pyeongchang. Johnny Weir called Yuzu "liquid silk on ice."

Candeloro feels Hanyu will skate 2-4 more years

Time for our boy Yuzu to take a well-deserved rest. Worlds in Japan next season!
41
Hard to believe it has been almost 3 weeks since Yuzu won his second gold medal! twitter.com/hitomiyuzuru/s…
42
A friend sent this to me recently ... This was the day before the short program in Pyeongchang. I told the interviewer, "If Yuzu is physically able to skate like we know he can, he will win." I also said, "Japan's men will get 2 medals."

Big poster of Yuzu on the cover of World Figure Skating magazine at my local bookstore now.

A special section just on Yuzu at my local bookstore. This is separate from the regular skating section which is also almost all Yuzu!
