Quote

Excerpt:

 

Matsuoka Shuzo

“I have never thought of Hanyu as a soft person, not even once. He is someone with an inquisitive mind, a spirit of inquiry. His emotional attachment toward ‘winning,’ too, is twice as strong as everybody else’s. Valuing the act of challenging over the results––there’s also such ways of thinking, but Hanyu is an athlete who takes results seriously.”

I am full of shame about my rank. :tumblr_inline_ncmif7esGm1rpglid: And yet, I long to see what's next. *compulsivelypostpostpost *

 

How did the brainwashing of those students go, by the way? Any converts?

This might sound really stupid, but how is it that competing in Olympics, World's etc doesn't make your profession 'figure skater' ? How are they 'amateurs' who 'go pro' when they retire? That's always confused me.... :confused: :confused: :confused:

 

 

Also, hey! I'm still taller than Yuzu! :snkuyashii:i have mixed feelings about that.....

This is a bit tricky... a professional figure skater is a skater by profession - meaning they get paid to skate or being a figure skater is their job. Amateur or competitive skaters aren't paid to skate/compete. They win prize money or get sponsorships.  Sometime competitive skaters do ice shows but it is strictly regulated by ISU and their federation. Plushenko was once banned from competition for 1 year because he did ice shows without pre approval from his federation.

Thank you! :thanks: I think I see what you mean. :) Ironically, wouldn't these skaters probably be getting more money as competitive amateur skaters then professionals? Lol I shudder to think how much Yuzu earns from all his advertising contracts, books etc.:tumblr_m9gcttgdYF1qzckow:
