Shun: (Yuzuru) told me "If it's you Shun, you can jump a quint." When I said I can still only do 4 quads so I might do the flip, he gave me advice like "if you jump the flip thinking of it as the lutz, you can land it" and "if you jump with the axis like this you can land it." twitter.com/megdale1021/st…

Post skate interview with Yuzuru **rough translation

"And, of course I think it’s important not to make mistakes and that’s what is necessary to win, but even with the two mistakes I was able to tell the story in Ten to chi to." (cont)

"I gave it my utmost effort. I worked so hard I don’t think I could’ve gone above that. It might be unrewarded efforts, but there were many things that haven’t gone well since the short. If anything, things only went badly this time, but I gave it my utmost effort." (end)

Nobu said on livestream that he messaged Yuzuru after the FS "Since you cried when you saw Shizuka and Shuzo, you'll cry when you see me too." Yuzuru replied "No, Nobu-kun will probably be crying and I'll be laughing at you," so Nobu feels that he's probably doing well.

Q: smiley practice: how do u feel after being awya from the rink for a few days
A: i was thinking about a lot of things, like attempting 4a but not succeeding, all the things that i worked hard on until now, the value of winning. but my ankle did hurt, so i knew i shouldn't jump
22
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
23
Q: bowed to the audience for longer than usual after fs and said something touching to the ice
A: there were ppl who actually came out to the rink, and in terms of results these weren't my best. but i wasn't wrapped in this atmosphere of "too bad," and there was a lot of applause
24
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.

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
