Why couldn't the moment of pure happiness for him last longer... I feel so guilty for taking his health for granted.... The thought of Pyeongchang being his last stage never crossed my mind before and it's just dreadful. I just want him to step out whenever he chooses to and have a healthy and happy life with no regrets. His future is still so promising, he loves skating so much and he has so many hopes and dreams he hasn't achieved yet... his ideal skate, new programs, 4cc, Nessie... I don't want his ankle to be a sacrifice for that OGM... I'm praying so hard for it.. please heal. please be okay. please rest and take care

I'm amazed by how much our boy has matured and grown. There have been many times when he couldn't handle the pressure of leading after the SP. I won't bring up Boston because there were.. other factors involved there, but the patterns of Sochi and ACI 2017 made me worry about his FS yesterday. Yet he went out there and fought for his Olympic Seimei so hard. He took the revenge he wanted and redeemed himself. Seeing him so full of confidence and proud after finishing his FS was the most emotional moment for me. He didn't know what Javier and Shoma would bring yet, but he was ecstatic about his victory against himself, which mattered most to him. Mentally, I feel like he's stronger than ever now.

I cannot get over the fact that the 1000th medal in Olympics history is his... It was destined to be his. It could not have landed in better hands. The devil works hard but fate works harder.

Everything is right in the world.

“Don’t give up” The more painful tomorrow is the stronger your life will shine A single flower stands in the wind We can become flowers too Have you realized? That a great deal of strength is within your hands Courage will become light You can still fight The seed that you hold in your chest will surely one day blossom into a dream "Don't lose" Now, in time, everyone looks for the future It's all right to be wounded It's all right to make mistakes You just have to stand up no matter how many times you fall There’s only one thing to do Reach out your hand towards that future Like an upright blooming flower People can become stronger than anything So can you "Go on living” In the midst of the wind, we are looking up at our own sky. It’s ok to collide It’s ok to cry Because surely there will be an answer “Don’t give up” The more painful tomorrow is the stronger your life will shine In the wind a flower stands We can become that flower too In the wind a flower blooms We can become flowers too.

Yuzura

dear Yuzu, Your comeback yesterday was otherwordly, majestic and legendary, and I hope you never stop feeling proud of yourself. In the good and bad days; it's always a privilege to watch you skate. Thank you for inspiring me and thousands around the world with your passion. Seeing your smile and hearing you say "I'm satisfied with everything" was what gave me the most immense joy. No matter your score or result today, I hope you'll be able to replicate that same feeling. You have nothing to prove to us, your country, the media or anyone. Today, I only hope that you skate for yourself and your dream, feel the love for what you do, trust your training and have tons of fun. Ganbatte

dear Yuzu, The mere chance to see you skate again is already worth the wait. You've done enough to prove your GOAT status, you have nothing left to prove. Those 7 minutes on the ice won't change your worth or my pride of supporting you Your smile is worth more than gold to me. Whatever happens, I hope that smile won't fade and the largest Pooh rain ever will reach you today and remind you how massively and unconditionally loved you are Ganbatte!!!!!!

just in case anyone needed confirmation of the massive exposure athletes get at Olys... look at the recent increase in views in my Yuzuru Hanyu Reacting To His First 11 World Records video

I can't believe korean media used the Produce 101 theme song in a clip about him but amusingly, the lyrics are fitting "The moment I saw you My eyes were fixed on you Dazzling, Shining You’re so pretty to me, I wonder if it’s a dream Please remember this moment, tonight Tonight, the star is me, it’s me, Only waited for you, it’s me, The person to steal your heart, it’s me The last person, it’s me"

Friendly reminder that mr. hanyu has already filled his quota of 2 silvers per season... 👀

Did they make any comments about it?

There is no feeling like watching him skate live... Every time he enters a jump I cover my face except for the corner of my eyes, my heart stops beating and I hold my breath until he lands it (or not). PC will be the first and probably last Olympics I'll be able to watch him live at, it'll be a once-in-a-lifetime chance I wouldn't miss for anything in the world. He makes the rollercoaster of emotions worth it.

I haven't felt this rush of joy since ACI '17 SP and the CoR gala

you GO BABY!!!!!!

his longer hair...... his lively and cheerful mood... his ill-fitting suit........ his trolling and extraness..... i've just missed him so much.

@ Mr Hanyu, we're gonna need your olympic prize money to pay for our sleeping pills

it feels like yesterday i was watching a video of him for the first time and discovering FS.... How did i get to the point of staying up until 5am waiting for him to show up at an airport... he's got me so whipped, he's too powerful

picture this.... the plane arrives and there he is... Mr Hanyu himself... with purple hair forgive me it's almost 5am here

staying awake until 4:15am for mr. hanyu

my timezone has an exact 12 hours difference with korea... it's 3:16am here

Someone mentioned the costs of travelling and I got curious about something... did his father and sister go to Sochi and will they be able to attend Pyeongchang? Sorry if this question seems invasive- I'm not asking because I want to see them, I was just wondering if they were able to witness personally such an important moment in Yuzu's life. It'd be a shame if they couldn't be there...

(original post)

i can't with local twitter tweeting about him, this is my first Oly as a yuzu fan so this is wild to me

While I was reading Brian’s words about Yuzu training without pain and believing in himself, the song “El Dorado” by EXO magically came on shuffle…I’m not sure if this is a sign but the lyrics couldn't suit him more perfectly... (dorado means "golden") “Find the El Dorado, I’m leaving right now The bigger the adventure, the more danger that follows Into the light that spreads out before us Toward the future that no one knows of This walk will be a legend in the days to come Even if we’re walking in storms on some days I won’t be afraid, oh El Dorado Sail sail sail, gotta gotta go go, gotta find the El Dorado I hear the quiet sound of the wind Where did it blow from? A golden song I close my eyes and it gets a little clearer I can vaguely see that place Even if the high wave of sand comes crashing down The destiny I shall meet is El Dorado In this dangerous journey, obstacles keep coming But we’ve become one and have overcome everything The light is getting bigger No pain no gain I will prove that those who believed in me were right”
