I see in Yuzuru Hanyu a profound dedication to the "Way of Skating." He is never satisfied with the present and continues to strive for greater heights. This Olympic Games was surely a challenge, as he was not in peak condition due to injury, and he even appeared slightly thinner than before. Still, within his refined sense of aesthetics, I think he was striving to incorporate as many quadruple jumps as possible—his greatest hurdle to victory. I was not able to watch the free program in real time, but I watched the recording on the same day and thought that Hanyu had risen like a phoenix from a volcano. I quickly sent him a congratulatory message saying, "You won this deadly battle with all your strength."

Sorry for sharing this negative news, but I want to raise awareness that an AP reporter wrote about Yuzu being a big target for women's tabloid magazines. For anyone having doubts about him being targeted, we have actual black-and-white proof here.
