Not only Kohei Uchimura, other top Japanese athletes were also inspired by Yuzuru in the Olympics according to these articles and tweets. I didn't have time to post at that time since there were too many news about Yuzuru himself, but here it is 

 

Tomokazu Harimoto (table tennis, gold medalist in JWC of 2016, https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/張本智和)
https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2018030300544&g=spo

 

(After he lost in the game) "If I had the mental strength Hanyu has, I would be able to get closer to the gold medal. I want to carry this regret to the next."

 

Kenzo Shirai (gymnastics, gold medalist in the Olympics and WC, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenzō_Shirai)
https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2018/02/26/kiji/20180226s00067000092000c.html

 

"In the warm up, there was the jump he was not able to land, but he succeeded it at one shot in the actual performance." 
"Hanyu said he would challenge 4A, and as a leading "twister" in the gymnastics, I also have to aim for the higher level."

 

Daiya Seto (swimming, gold medalist in two WC, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daiya_Seto)
https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2018/02/26/kiji/20180225s00092000488000c.html

 

"I think his road to the Olympics was not easy being injured, but it was beyond amazing he achieved the greatest result at the biggest stage."
"I have the connection with Hanyu in terms of belonging to the same company (Seto is in ANA, also a student of Waseda Uni), I only have greeted him. I'm interested in the mentality of "The absolute king", so I would love to talk with him. Of course, I am feeling like "I have to do it next." and being passed a baton from him."

 

Naohisa Takato (Judo, gold medalist in two WC, bronze madalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naohisa_Takato )
http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/winter/20180220-OHT1T50213.html

 

"Hanyu's consentration is really great. I was moved from my heart that he executed perfectly at the big stage without loosing focus after he had injured his right ankle. He must be realizing his current strength and weakness very well. While he wanted to have the best performance at the current state since it was the Olympics, he did stick to giving all his best on that day. It was the toughness that normal people don't have. Hanyu had it and I felt he was a monster." 
"He has the absolute power that nobody can say anything about. I watched him feeling like the excellence of Yuzuru Hanyu as a human being was spreaded not only over Japan but also the whole world. Being impressed by his interview, I was motivated like I had to work harder and keep up, because I want my gold medal in the Olympics after all."

　
Nozomi Okuhara (badminton, gold medalist in WC of 2017, bronze medalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozomi_Okuhara)

 

"The more I see the news of Hanyu, the more I want to see him and ask a lot of questions. I want to hear many stories from him."

 

Kosei Inoue (Judo, gold medalist in the Olympics, the current supervisor of team Japan, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kōsei_Inoue)
https://www.daily.co.jp/general/2018/02/19/0010999477.shtml

 

"True king. He had the curious aura in his whole body and the power to draw all in." "I shouted when I was watching him. I don't know about the techniques of the sport, but he had his own expression, brilliance and flexibility. I thought he was fabulous." 
"He has incredible mentality. It is better if we don't get hurt physically, but the important thing is how to control ourselves after getting injured." 
"We have tremendous pressure for 2020, but we have to fight believing in ourselves after all. As an athlete, he gave us the courage and inspiration." 

 

Nao Kodaira (speed skating, gold medalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nao_Kodaira)
https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20180219-00000040-dal-spo

 

"First of all, his attitude for the performance was different (from mine) when he stood on the ice rink. He was standing like he was able to have clean elements without thinking anything, and I felt I wanted to compete in that kind of atomosphere as well." 
"I've heard that Hanyu read many research papers while he was injured, so if I have any chance to talk with him, I want to ask him what kind of documents he had read."

 

Kosuke Hagino (swimming, gold medalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosuke_Hagino)
https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASL2K6QVJL2KUTQP03H.html

 

"I imagine he had really hard time after getting injured, and his sense (for skating) may not been coming back 100% yet, but he did give it all like that. I was very moved." 
(Did Yuzuru inspire him toward the consective win in Tokyo Olympics?) "Yes. I can not let the Pooh rain over the swimming pool, so I want to make another kind of rain (in Tokyo Olympics)."

 

Yuto Nagatomo (football, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuto_Nagatomo)

 

"Yuzuru Hanyu is unbelievable. How did he show the best performance after returning from long-term withdrawal due to the injury? Has not he recovered fully yet, has he? Besides, the Olympics is the big stage. You can not do this only by the talent. Well done."

 

Shohei Ono (Judo, gold medalist in the Olympics, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shohei_Ono)
https://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/201803160000743.html

 

"Hanyu's word "I know how to win the Olympics.". He understands the way of aproaching to the big game, and the way of peaking and conditioning. What I am lack within me is "prominent". I haven't trained enough to be prominent. I only have to spend enormous amount of time to build up."

Hello, can I use your translation and translate it to Russian?

Okay, so in celebration of the official one month anniversary of Yuzu's amazing Olympic win, my videos are finally posted! I also updated my album with new pics (I have to fix the captions):

planethanyu.com/gallery/category/12-winter-olympics-2018/

For the free skate morning practice if you live in Australia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea,  or the USA, you'll need a VPN to view it.  I hadn't even watched these until around when I was going to upload them so it was pretty fun to relive it again.  When he won I was screaming/laughing/crying like a banshee all at once.  Here's a link to the playlist.  The one with my reaction to the win starts with my screaming so please be forewarned and don't have your volume too loud:

 

Yay more videos to watch  saving your playlist!

Yuzu said in Kenji's Room that he watches a lot of other skaters performances. I wonder if he has watched a skater perform to a music and said I wnt to try to make that music my own and chooses that music for nxt season. Like he chose Notte Stellata and Notre Dame Paris partly because he told David Wilson that he liked the fact that Johnny Weir skated to it. 

 

 

I wonder why Yuzu hasnt skated to any of Plushenkos programs as a homage. 

I wnt to see original programs as well as a different unique take on classic pieces. Something like a tangoed version of a homage to a male or female skater in the past. But i am sick of Carmen and Nessun dorma by now. 

I would DIE if i see a james bond yuzuru hanyu program. It would he sooooo evocative.

Actually even the full title "Continues with Wings" is a bit off English wise. Yuzuru chose the theme himself its ok.

I wouldnt, for the sake of my job and company's reputation, lol. Maybe sthing like 'Soar higher, breakthru(refering to the 66 yrs thingy) .'' Or 'Soar with wings, no limits/conquer the universe/limitless possibilities' .

Then use the 2X and 66 yrs , maybe 2018 to make some cute hashtag.

 

If its a company, along the lines of 'Passion. Connected' for Olympics is expected. The promo vid was 'People, Possibility, Power, Peace. Passion- Connected' Thats it, 5P and 1C. 

Well, the title sounds like the direct translation from Japanese, with the whole 'omitting the subject' thing. I mean, what continues? His winning streak? His career? FS overally? HE?

But it also kind of have the tinge of Yuzu in it, so I would let that slip (btw apparently there is a new ad technique in my country that purposefully omits the actual topic even though it's not as usual in our language as it is in Japanese, so maybe he wanted to reference new trends? Lol, I guess I'm thinking too much into it :D)

Okay, excuse my total newbie question, but do we know when Yuzu is taking up schedules again? I've found it hard to navigate this site since joining and i initially thought he was halting all competitions/schedules until he is healed, but i've gotten conflicting answers as to wether that's true or not.

 

I guess i just wanted to know what his closest schedule is, as well as his closest competition? Is he sitting out the rest of this season?

 

Excuse the (probably) dumb question ;-;

There's only one, at least major, competition left of the season and that's Worlds, which he has already withdrawn from. So yes, he is sitting out the rest of the season to heal up his ankle. When he will be back for the 18-19 season is a big old ? right now and it depends entirely on how healed his ankle is by the time Grand Prix assignments are ready to be handed out.

Timeline wise, you are correct. He is still healing, and his schedule for 18/19 will depend on how he heals and how fast. So I guess for now, all speculations about his competing schedule next season is just speculation. =)

 

It's probably confusing because people in the main thread are talking about his ice shows, where he will be an MC of sorts in the Continue with Wings show (April 2018), and probably the Sendai Parade (April 22 it seems?).
