Translation of Yuzuru's interview after WC gala: "If myself at the age 17 saw my current records now, he might tell me I should've got more gold medals. But there was no year that was wasted, and I was able to win at this superb Worlds, so I feel proud of the result." - Yuzuru Hanyu From Please click CC button for English sub Press conference at Haneda airport, 4 April, after the World Championships in Helsinki. http://nanoka12.tumblr.com/post/1592317 ... u-hanyu-at

Yuzuru's rinkside Japanese interview after WC 2017, translated by Sophie Moroi in International Facebook Group: ---- There are literally storms of news clips about Yuzuru’s gold at the Worlds in Japanese media, and I cannot translate everything. But this 5 mins interview with Yuzuru is probably the “MUST KNOW” for Yuzuru fans. Here is my verbatim translation. Original video: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k4NCMcrPSEm2GVmpqD9 (How did you recover yourself after the SP?) Right after I finished performing my SP, I was feeling really frustrated. As I was the first to skate [in the last group], I saw my ranking went down and down [as the other skaters performed], and my feeling went beyond depression. But, being inspired by voices of my fans, and reflecting on what I had been doing and other things, I thought I had to do my best by believing in myself. I think that’s how I managed to recover. [Towards the FP] I think I felt mental fatigue, but that mental fatigue probably matched with my physical fatigue, so perhaps they might have achieved a good balance [between the mental and physical fatigue]. (What did you think with the high FP score?) Simply, I was just honestly happy. To begin with, I was delighted that the score 223 was 3 or 4 points above the previous (world) record [that I had]. Moreover, this programme [H&L] was significantly less appreciated as compared to SEIMEI, and I also struggled with expressing sufficiently and succeeding jumps [in H&L]. [During the season] I had made several performances in which I repeatedly wondered between getting closer to the music and farther from the music. But this time I was able to make a clean programme, and my feeling was also clear inside myself. So, I now have a strong feeling that I was finally able to advance one step beyond my own record. Of course, I will always have a persistent desire to make a clean programme with no mistakes, perhaps I will again feel frustrated with myself who cannot make a clean programme, and I will continue practicing further more in the future. But if I didn’t have such persistence, I certainly would not have such a strong desire for a clean programme. Probably, in view of the NHK Cup and the GPF as well as other bitter experience in the past year, I think this [gold at the Worlds] may be a little gift awarded by God. (About the high level competitions) As regards the increase in the scores over 300, I don’t necessarily get impressed with the high scores per se; rather I think that good performances with high quality have dramatically increased. It’s not so much as execution of each element as the execution and quality of entire programmes that each competitor has improved a lot, as far as I am concerned. (How do you feel about going to the Olympics season as the World Champion) Well, 66 years ago, Mr. Dick Button won the second consecutive Olympic gold medal while he was the defending Olympic gold medallist and the World Champion. In this sense, I am convincing myself that a good omen is coming upon me. (You have challenged difficult programmes this season) I think it was good. Against my coach’s advice in a sense, I insisted on including 4 quads and managed to convince him at the end of the day. That’s how this season started. So, it was not according to the plan of the coach, as it were. After trying for a year and finally managing to deliver a clean programme… Well, even if I might not have been able to execute a clean programme [of this season], I have built self-confidence that I should be able to perform a very clean programme at any time and under any circumstances if I now try the SEIMEI elements [which is less difficult than H&L]. To that extent, I did hard training. So, in the sense of elevating my limitations, this season was a very fruitful one. At any rate, I have had a consistent desire to win another Olympic gold medal during this season. Even when this is not yet the Olympic season, I was always training with that desire, which finally resulted in the gold medal at this World Championship. Yes, this is not the Olympics, but I have got reaffirmation that this kind of competitions would probably take place at the Olympics [next year]. So, I think I will have to build my skating skills and leave no weakness so that I could win even if such [harsh] competitions take place [at the Olympics]. Thank you! I will do my best at the next one! END

Fayruza just translated part of an interview with Stephan Lambiel http://www.sport-express.ru/figure-skat ... u-1237563/ The technique is the most crucial factor now, along with athleticism and stamina - you can't jump quads without them. But the emotional factor and the artistic is just as important - you have to live through every single moment of your program, to feel it. And you have to combine it with executing a whole array of most difficult elements. It's hard work which only a few elect can do - that's why the leading group isn't so big. Only a very talented skater who was lucky to be born hard-working as well can cope with it. And who do you think combines it best of all. The result shows it's Yuzuru. He put up a whole theatrical performance on the ice both in his short and in his long programmes. He's such a talent in many aspect, he's a natural: he's incredibly musical, you can't teach that. He steps onto the ice, you look at him and forget about everything - about time, people around you, who's been performing before. It's incredible.

According to xeyra it just sends you an email? Not email, we want some notifications like a pop up saying "you have been quoted by ABC poster" when we visit forum.

Marinn is asking if we can have notification feature, telling us if we are quoted. Can we?

I can easily see the 4S-3T being replaced by a 4Lo-3T in the SP in case he does the 4Lz. Otherwise, considering he loves it, I don't think he's going to get rid of it. About the FS, if he's doing the 5 quad program, and has the 4Lz, I guess it could go but I think he'd still keep the 4S-3T there. You know how he is. He stuck with it the whole ruddy season, so I don't think it'll disappear now unless he's bringing in the 4Lz. Frankly I think 4lz or 4Lo3T :cry: might have better success rate in competition than 4S3T...

My friend says, in order to skate clean, Yuzuru should get rid of that 4S3T combo. She thinks that the main reason Yuna went clean at Olympic Vancouver was because she got rid of the 3Lo. She won 4CC test event at Olympic arena but fell on the 3Lo. So by getting rid of the 3Lo, she was clean at Vancouver 2010 and won. I agree that being cleacheese hole man of the night will help. And that 4S3T makes me scared. If it's truly a weakness, should he get rid of it, since he messed the 4S3T at the test even (also 4CC). What do you guys think? He can replace 4S3T by 4T3T or maybe 4lo3T. Just get rid of the one with least success rate.

I will gradually move here the quotes and translations that I have saved on FSuniverse as backup. Below is a translation by Gladi. Thanks Gladi for the translation: ----- Elle Japan conducted an interview about Yuzuru with British ESP's commentators (Simon Reed and Chris Howarth). Translated by gladiolusc 1/20 Caption: 2016 GPF EX. Elegant~ Title: “Elegant and a very strong competitor" Q: What’s the best point about Yuzu? Simon: Hm. He’s really elegant, really strong. He’s also a great competitor, always looks like he’s enjoying the competition. Tries his best even under the stiffest circumstances. 2/20 Caption: 2014 Sochi podium. Sleeves too long (cute) Title: “First skater to get 300+ score" Chris: Exactly as Simon says. It’s clear if you look at his past results, but he’s the first person to go for a quad loop in competition, and the first Japanese male skater to get the Olympic gold. And now he wins GPF for the 4th consecutive time. And he was the first skater to ever score 300+… All that really speaks to his character. 3/20 Title: “No doubt the strongest skater right now" Chris: He’s no doubt the strongest skater right now. And, as Simon said, he performs and delivers under extreme pressure. It’s indescribable how much pressure it is to show up at the ice rink with so many spectators watching. Although even if there is no pressure, it’s still hard... 4/20 Title: “That’s Yuzu!" Chris: He made a great landing with the quad loop at GPF. Although he almost seemed like his nose was going to touch the ground, he somehow managed to hold his body back up to survive the landing. That’s Yuzuru for you! It’s always so exciting / nerve-wrecking (in a good way, adrenaline-y?) to watch his performance. He has such charisma in him, it’s always a pleasure. 5/20 Title: “Dignified even after a fail" Q: What’s a skill that only Yuzu has? Simon: Nobody beats his elegance on the ice. He is dignified and stately. But he also isn’t perfect, as you can also see from this year’s GP. Then again, even when he fails, it’s as if nothing happened. Even after he fails, he continues in a majestic manner. You can really feel his confidence. 6/20 Title: It’s like magic! Chris: Yes. There’s no one else that has all his qualities. The ability to draw spectators in, his exquisite technical ability, and as Simon said, that elegance. Of course, he doesn’t always display all these qualities at the same time. But when he does, it’s like magic! 7/20 Title: Yuzu pushes the technical limits Chris: And, I just have to say this. Yuzu challenges himself to his technical limits and pulls the other skaters along. We might be seeing more failures from skaters hereon in the coming years, but that’s because they are now challenging harder jumps than ever. And that’s because Yuzu is always challenging himself. That’s awesome! 8/20 Title: Prince Program. Love that! Q: What’s your favorite program by Yuzu? Simon: Hmmmm, I can’t decide on one, I have two. One’s the Prince Program that Jeff Buttle choreographed for his SP this year. Loved that. 9/20 Simon (cont): But, to me, I really felt his charisma during 2014 CoC. He collided with Yan Han and was really injured. 10/20 Simon (cont): Despite falling five times, he won the silver medal. It’s a wonder that he didn’t stop mid-performance. He could seem so weak then, but really he was tremendously resilient. Such a fantastic combination! 11/20 Title: He challenges his weaknesses every single year Chris: It’s a hard question for me… Well, I also enjoyed the SP (it was a great program) this year immensely. Yuzu keeps challenging his weaknesses every single year, and that’s what’s so great about him. This year’s program was particularly challenging for him, so it left a great impression on me. 12/20 Title: Delicate but strong Q: Beside his technical skills, what do you like about Yuzu? Simon: Although he’s delicate, he’s a really strong figure skater. The combination. 13/20 Title: The fact that he still went to Canada (to train with Brian) after having been through so much is great Simon: His resilience, which he showed in the CoC incident. But also, after the 2011 earthquake, when he was unable to practice in Sendai and went to Yokohoma until the rink in Sendai reopened. The amazing courage that took him to Canada. (Of course Brian Orser is a great coach) But he really completely changed his life. 14/20 Title: Yuzu is a success case Simon: Well many skaters go abroad, but amongst them, Yuzu is a great example. It was a necessary step at the time for him to advance to the next level, and he made it. 15/20 Caption: Russian fairy Evgenia full of smiles in front of Yuzu. She gave Yuzu a (Elle says electric facial ) tumbler for his birthday. Title: Yuzu is really popular with the girls Simon: Although Yuzu says he doesn’t have a lot of Japanese friends, his friends say he’s the most popular among Japanese girls. Kei Nishiki the tennis player might be more popular amongst boys, but amongst the girls… (of course there are male fans too) he’s by far the most popular (laughs). 16/20 Title: Yuzu might be even more popular than Beckham at the time Simon: I think David Beckham was pretty popular in Japan. He was the most popular athlete in the past 20 years. But, as far as I know, Yuzu seems to be more popular than Beckham back then. 17/20 Title: While facing staggering pressure Simon: While he faces staggering pressure, he skates as if he doesn’t feel that at all. Of course, his looks probably contribute to the popularity. Well, you can ask the girls (laughs). 18/20 Title: Amazing charisma Chris: I think Yuzu has great charisma. He just catches my attention every single time he gets on the ice. I can’t look away. It’s like “I can see exciting things coming up!” I think that’s his magical charm. 19/20 Title: He always overcomes pressure Chris: Simon was also saying, but it’s amazing the amount of pressure he faces, with so many fans watching. And he always overcomes and shows us. 20/20 Title: Of course, he’s handsome too Chris: There are no other players with such amazing qualities. And of course, he’s a looker!

Yeah, that. But I'm actually almost more surprised that he doesn't have any kind of official website. I mean the boy is basically a brand, but pretty much everything besides a JSF or ISU bio is provided by fans. Yuzuru is so blessed. He doesn't have to do anything and he gets tons of fansites, forum and support from fans.
