I couldn’t care less about the opinions of people who think what this young man has done isn’t the most wonderful thing in the world, let alone in skating. GOAT human, to me. What does bother me is the lazy reporting around the world that is obviously just patched together from a bunch of US articles which list 5th place Nathan Chen’s name above Hanyu’s in the HEADLINE and dedicate all of one sentence to both Javi and Shoma so they can dedicate the rest to Nathan.

Please, everyone, try not to panic about translated Tweets, especially from accounts that have misworded or misinterpreted things in the past. In my experience, success of physical rehab has so, so, soooo much to do with state of mind. I went through a program myself, though not for such an accute injury, and without a doubt, those most motivated and optimistic progressed the furthest and the fastest. This fellow has a stronger mind than anyone I've ever seen. He will wrangle rehab into submission and then hydroblade across its face, maybe a couple of light 4As. Well, we can at least know he won't give up until he's healed as much as physically possible. Have faith. To quote Brian "Never underestimate Mr Hanyu." To quote Javi "His brain is pretty good."

He said something about going to a sauna and Hanyu was amused and said an onsen is better. I have no idea the context. XD

Shoma wants to thank his mum too. And the thing he wants most right now is to sleep. (Sorry, OT)

Lol yes and the host said "You seem amazingly sleepy!" XD

TBS only saw a little bit and very tired. He said he's really very grateful that people are saying they should call the next era the Hanyu Era but that there are athletes like Shohei Otani etc. so... And he said the people he wants to thank most are this family. Aaaand that's as useful as I can be right now.

He even managed to make it about how great he is for saying how great Yuzu is! That's an incredible talent there, Pchan.

Does anyone have that list of signs/coincidences handy?

Was that the Australian lady or is everone calling it that?

Gotta say my favourite moment of the day was Hanyu listening Lambiel along with Plushy and Johnny as his idol. I knew he must be but so glad to hear him say it. I hope they can collaborate when Yuzu comes back.

Really? Where?!

Scans could be sent to Toronto though, right?

Maybe EX or ice show one day.

I can’t afford to live if I don’t sell them so... ...and I live too far away to wait until last minute so... (I’m this close to giving up all my dignity to cyber beg... )

Bonded in comp trauma. I mourned Worlds for a little while but I honestly want him to skip it. I’m just going to make sure I go to every competition he’s at when he comes back. I wanted to see the three masterpieces with all my heart but he’s the most important masterpiece and I want him to stay in one piece.

I think everyone wants him to rest, thought I could watch swan forever.

I know it’s a joke but you know he would.

Plot twist twist, almost loses to Boyang when he zayaks with too many 4As.

Love it! (But it looks like he morphed a bit with Kolyada :P)

“Orser believes Hanyu, 23, could return for the 2022 Olympics in Japan...” Got the place wrong but still!!!

Thanks for providing the context! It doesn’t sound so dismal surrounded by the rest.

Guys he’s going to do everything he can to recover as well as he can. He’s tenacious and stubborn as a mule. Don’t start panicking again. At least wait until he’s had the x-ray (though it would be best to wait until he’s finished rehab.)

I wish that person would post the source. I don’t trust Twitter translations.

Weenee!
