The two sides of a coin , a golden and very shiny coin , Mr. Yuzuru Hanyu. ( did he deny “I’m not a prince “ when the interviewer insisted he was one?

No, he just talked about the kiss. They want to know if he will do the blow kiss again this year, and he said well it's fine if it makes people happy. Haha, poor Yuzu, got teased.

Kinda basic tho.

Basic and lazy. There's more about Pooh and how old his fans are than there is about him. I appreciate them mentioning his beauty though! 

What a load of missed opportunities...

Sounds to me this is mostly about what she observed.  Doesn't seem like she was granted a sit down interview to ask him anything.  Also, I don't expect much from ESPN where the audience is a majority of the people to who have no idea who he is. The first thing they see is Pooh and the fans so that's naturally what will be discussed.  I'll be looking for it on the newsstand over lunch since I still generally appreciate what we can find on him in English.

Im #3 most of the time #1 when I see Yuzu skates and #2 when he finishes. 

The amazing thing about Yuzu is that he can be so many of these in the space of a few minutes.

@Danibellerika Yes, that's understandable. I think I expected more because the feature was mentioned a couple of times before and because the author actually went to Japan to research, but all she wrote can be found by googling him.

I guess, but she appears to be writing about her own experience and quotes people she talked to herself which adds a little more authenticity.

Interesting how his search score is about double of the average, and about 2/3 of the Ronaldo "baseline" of 100. By search score, he ranks 19th.

I'm surprised they couldn't estimate his endorsements, given that after Sochi, Forbes was able to come up with a "worth" of $2m, which undoubtedly would be in part influenced by the value of endorsements.

Social following: 0  I'm sorry, but found this so funny. There was only one other athlete on this list also with zero.

Endorsements: N/A  

His stats are the least complete of all the athletes, like it's either zero or unavailable

Well, most of the time we are "?????" about him regarding many many aspects...
