q: confirming that he will no longer be competing
a: i don't intend to compete from now on. i think i was able to get all the results i strived for, and i no longer feel a desire to strive for that kind of evaluation. honestly i thought about retiring at pc
27
not bc you could win if you did 3 quads or many 3a. i want to keep giving performances that make ppl want to keep watching me. from now on, the rules may keep changing as they do every year, and things may happen, but i want to chase my ideal form fs that's like from that era
28
(final thoughts abt beijing) I was able to think abt many things deeply. Until now, there were many times that things were out of my control despite working hard. The Yuzuru Hanyu that everyone remembers may mostly be from the times I was successful like Sochi or Pyeongchang Olys
29
But having competed until now, I’ve seen my own rock bottom many times. In that sense, this time, I’ve become an adult…

Q: challenging 4a?
A: i wonder. it hasn't ended for me personally, but this time, i don't know if what i'm saying is correct and it starts sounding like an excuse. no matter what i say i'll be hated on, and it's scary but that's the truth. the day before fs i hurt my foot and
31
i will keep doing my best, including for those ppl who havent been able see me live, and those who thought they were glad to have watched my skating live. i will continue challenging the 4a. as a pro athlete from now on, i will continue chasing my ideal.
32
wait FUCK WE'RE NOT DONE HE'S DOING A TV INTERVIEW NOW
33
my motivation from now on. but honestly, my current feelings are tht despite the ur and fall, if ppl could think "hanyu yuzuru's axel has a tight axis, is high, and a beautiful jump" then i am happy
34
w/ mistakes. but i am satisfied with the performance. as for motivation, my 9 yo self has always been telling me to jump it. but i feel like this time i was praised by him, that i became one with him. many ppl might not have realized, but my form was the same.
35
Q: before you said you were scared of losing ur 2 titles. today is the same day u won sochi. how do u feel now.
A: oh right... ah... is this the kind of thing you ask to make me cry... but [those titles] have a lot of weight.
36
i don't have a grasp on my feelings for the next olys and details like where they are. honestly, i'm confused. but as hanyu yuzuru, i want to keep polishing my skating.
37
ofc i want to skate here again. i got many letters, gifts, and the volunteers this time were very welcoming as well, and so were the chinese fans. it made me very happy to skate in that kind of environment this time.
38
(about skating many programs during practice) In any case, I had strong feelings of wanting to do everything I want to do, and also what is possible to do now because people are watching, here at the Olympics. It was a time full of happiness.
39
I'm sorry I said this selfie would never see the light of day....... I'm sorry I didn't believe SKNFDJNSBDJS
40
crumbing, so i'm hpapy with that. with the fs, ofc i'm frustrated that i messed up the sal and i wanted to land the 4a if possible. the story of uesagi kenshin and ttct that i aimed to show was conveyed. the scores won't change, like pcs won't follow no matter how good it is
41
'defending' is difficult, very difficult. you have to sacrifice things. because i'm challenging i don't have to do those things. that's all it was for me, like with the 4a. i've treasured these challenges [ok sorry i'm getting teary at this one and aborting ship lol]
42
i was able to come this far bc of all the support and do my best until now. i was also supported by the media and cameramen, many ppl. i'm very happy that i was able to skate and be yuzuru hanyu. i still have a lot to learn, and i have decided to continue skating. i'm v nervous
43
Q: goal that you are going after rn
A: ofc my desire to and 4a is not small. i want to perfect my programs too. but i feel a bit like i might have perfected my axel already. as i keep skating from now on, i a thinking about what kind of performance i want to do for everyone
44
helped me to land the best 4a i ever have. [didn't catch a bunch] but i don't want to lose. i wanted to jump with all my might, jump a high axel and do my best. there was the issue with the rotation too, but i am satisfied. it was a 4a i can be satisfied with
45
and i think 'what is fs...' but when i was little i had a lot of fun and liked it when ppl watched me. i might have many emotions as i continue to practice, like wanting to jump. but i want to treasure the feeling of skating on the ice
46
Q: why did u want to skate after 4 days, how do u feel after standing in the rink
A: honestly, i really shouldn't be skating during this period, but i really wanted to. i will probably practice in the coming days too. there are many things i could hate about skating
47
the sprain is worse than i thought. iw as told by the doctors to rest for 10 days. during practice the morning of the fs, i got a shot about 10 mins before the 6 min warmup. the shot getting rid of the pain, the feelings from the short, i had many emotions and the adrenaline
48
but i'm taking painkillers, rather strong ones. during these 3 days, being here at olys and with everything i've been thinking about, i am being supported by many ppl like the ppl who have cared for my ankle the past 3 days. even walking hurts but i am receiving treatment and
49
so i will refrain from speaking specifically. but i was limited by competitions until now, and i want to create something that ppl who've never gone to see live skating will want to see too, something that will satisfy ppl who have cheered me on until now
50
there are many ppl that you can't see too behind the camera, from my home town, from places affected by disaster al around the world. i thought this would be the last time i could skate on this ice. i love this ice, and i am grateful.
fanyu since sochi translating JP→EN and attending live events for fun sometimes
