Video uploaded by Asahi (hope it's not geoblocked...) ETA: NHK also provides a video on their news site https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20180211/k10011324961000.html

A few new photos from NHK (already shared?) https://www.nhk.or.jp/sports-story/detail/20180211_2287.html

Sorry, I revised the translations I posted earlier. I should not have rushed... https://planethanyu.com/topic/3-general-yuzuru-chat/?page=2535&tab=comments#comment-157220 https://planethanyu.com/topic/3-general-yuzuru-chat/?page=2537&tab=comments#comment-157248

He is saying "どの選手よりも伸び代があるどの選手よりもピークまで持っていける伸び代のある選手の一人" in this video. So he said he thinks that he has the largest potential (or largest room to grow) among the men. Wow! he is one of the skaters who have largest potential (or largest room to grow). Sorry I didn't catch what he said correctly

"If I don't lie to myself, I want to win consecutive titles. I want to feel this Olympics" (On jump layout) "I'll make the decision after conditioning myself at the venue. I have some options. I want to choose my strategy knowing the situation I am in" (How do you evaluate your condition? How many percent?) “I cannot say until I skate (in the venue.) I’ve seen the TE and I feel that I want to win more than anybody. I’m one of the skaters who still has room to improve (or “who is yet to peak”) I hope to do my best aiming at the top” https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20180211-00000132-spnannex-spo ETA: Seeing this footage, the last part was not precisely what he said. He actually said "(Seeing TE) I think I'm the one who wants to win more than anybody and I am one of the skaters who have the biggest potential (or largest room to grow)"

"I want to win more than anybody"

According to another reporter of Asahi, he looks fine. But no pics!

Nah, in this case Goto san of Asahi is trolling us

They are gonna show various competitions until 18:00 (JST) Wondering if I really need to see the news live while busy refreshing news sites...

宮原さんあまり落ち込まなければいいなと思います。 ああいうスコアだったけど演技自体はよく練られていて素晴らしかったと思う。 かなクリは生き生きとしたSDで素敵でしたね！特にかなちゃん初めての大舞台でも思いきり動けていてかっこ良かったです。 須崎・木原組はフリー途中から崩れてしまったけどどんどん良いチームになりつつあるなと感じました。 氷ですが、スピードスケートの方では日本より硬くて滑りにくかったという選手のコメントを見ました。 外気温の影響もあるようだし、フィギュアはショートトラックと兼用リンクで毎日状態が変わりそうだし、 どっちにしてもその日毎に難しい面があるかも知れないですね。

General Thread の方で既にシェアされていますが、PANDALIONさんから今回も応援メッセージが寄せられていました。 アイスリンク仙台の小さなポストに寄せられたメッセージとのコラボになってます。 コメント欄に羽生君へのメッセージを書き込むことができるようになっていますので、ぜひyoutubeでも見てみてください！

Happy birthday Caro and @golden ! Hope you two are having a great day

These video confirm what we can read in NBC article Thank you!

In Japanese, we can omit the subject and we can use hiragana and katakana (ETA: I meant "hiragana and Chinese characters") quite freely. In a situation like this, our language itself is a troll However, if Brian can say this to the press, English-based media will also report this soon, (hopefully with direct quotes), and even if they won't, we'll know what he'll do in about a week. But If he has regained most of his jumps, that means he is getting quite well. I’m very happy to hear that.

Asahi, Mainichi, Sanspo have reported this news so far, but all of them based on Kyodo, (there’s (共同) at the end of each article) Japanese: https://this.kiji.is/333248494964261985?c=39550187727945729 English: https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2018/02/3cae47dd86f1-olympics-hanyu-to-participate-in-figure-skating-individual-event.html Direct quotes in Japanese articles: -「もちろん個人種目は出る」 (He will definitely take part in the individual event) -「（ジャンプは）4回転ルッツ以外は全ていい状態だ。彼はトレーニングがよくできている。驚きだ。当然、金メダルが狙える」 (All of his repertoire (of jumps) except for 4Lz is well tuned. He has been training himself amazingly well. Of course, he can go for the gold.) Indirect quote: -故障の原因となった大技の4回転ルッツは回避するという。 ((According to Orser) Yuzu will avoid attempting 4Lz which caused his injury. )

Kyodo news in English: https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2018/02/3cae47dd86f1-olympics-hanyu-to-participate-in-figure-skating-individual-event.html By the way, Sanspo based on Kyodo.

hamaguriさん、電子あるみたいです。もう見つけていらっしゃるかも知れませんが、ひとまずお知らせ。 https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B079BQDS3S

ええー、すごい！ 意外と国の垣根なく依頼が来るものなのですね。 公式サイトを見ると、昨年の代々木の国別とか、どのイベントか分からないけどさいたまアリーナや大阪市中央体育館で氷を作ってる写真が載っていますね。 確かに大きい会場の氷のノウハウがたくさんありそう 職人さんたちも体に気をつけて頑張って欲しいです。
