@PapiandPooh421 Welcome!!! You joined us just in time, we're going to explode soon I really respect that you plan to contain your excitement while the rest of us will probably go through a collective mental breakdown (regardless of good or bad news)

Teach me how to stay calm please

Oh goodness, I saw that the thread grew more than usual and got so nervous I thought the FS was announced for a moment

it saves not only him from pain but also our hearts from breaking beyond the point of repair

He seems to have learned that he performs better when he is in a good physical state (LOL) and the importance of staying healthy and being careful which I am obviously very glad he did. I trust that he is taking better care of himself now and won't overtrain recklessly. Although... how many quads did he say he jumps during practice? Was it 40? 60?

I remember in that documentary that was aired after Yuzu's injury was public information (but filmed prior) the interviewers were aware of his injury and even asked him about it. Alot of people must have known abt it so it would have been difficult to keep it a secret for much longer especially after the Boston LP.... (Btw, everytime I watch that part of the docu and Yuzu says "But I can walk fine now" (paraphrasing here) I want to grab his shoulders and shake him .) Idk if it is bc Yuzu tried not to advertise it too much that commentators seem to be unaware of his injuries but it still makes my blood boil when they mention how bad he started the season and just leave it at that.

I was going to comment the same. He doesn't talk abt his injuries bc he doesn't like excuses. On the contrary my impression of him is that he doesn't shy away from looking vulnerable. He wears his emotions on his skin and is very vocal in expressing them which is something I really respect and envy about him. It showcases strength rather than weakness and I am pretty sure that it is part of what enables him to constantly grow as a skater and person.

Oh good to know, I never knew this existed.

He released one? (I hope you don't mean the joke DVD we sometimes talked abt.)

Yuzu never seemed to be interested in coaching but he's mentioned alot of times that he wants to use his studies to help other athletes. So maybe what he was thinking of was sport psychology? Learning about education and coach-student relations would also fit into this frame. Someone let him talk about his insights for hours and record it and release an uncut DVD pls it would be an enrichment to himanity! my new life goal would be to learn Japanese amd understand everything he says eta: And part of the DVD could be dedicated to him reading excepts from his skating notes and commenting on them!!

You're one of the few members on this site that fulfills the prerequisites! Do it for all of us pls!!

LOL yeah but he still technically attempted 5 quads (even if the layout wouldn't make sense if he landed all of them)

I think the article was referring to 5 quads in the FS?

Yeah we've been having rather slow news days lately but that will probably change in August

Hey guys, you might already have noticed the new thread but I want to introduce it anyway. Since sometimes this thread gets very fast and hard to catch up we decided to make a thread to compile the most important updates. So when you wake up in the morning and the chat grew 20 pages and you really just want to know what happened, this thread will give you quick answers. And if you've been away for a month and are scared of entering this thread you can get a summary of what happened while you were away. If while you are catching up you happen to come across a piece of news that makes you curious to know the discussion surrounding it you can just follow the link in the quotes into the depth of this thread. (I will only be quoting posts.)

The purpose of this thread is to collect important news and media updates related to Yuzuru Hanyu that are posted in the General Yuzuru Chat (and sometimes on various Event threads) starting with August 2017. This will help in making it easier to catch up with Yuzuru news and the (hands down) busiest thread of Planet Hanyu. We want to keep things organized so only assigned Administrators and Members will update this thread.

LOL.... this isn't just a slip of tongue, they even put the Japanese flag next to his name

I'm both excited and nervous and worried and sometimes I just want to get over and done with it.... pls announce it already

Yes, it will be announced sometime soon

Oh no Junhwan... I hope he takes a good rest and is able to heal in time. I hope it wasn't the pressure that got to him... No wonder Brian looked so weary throughout the event.

I had alot of fun, too our chat: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l02mFFj1XvpAQaHh3bMJFDiuWJee7RvJNk4jomzH_34/edit?usp=sharing
