General Yuzuru Chat

[Aotoshiro]

Just dropping by to ask belatedly, since I remember seing Poohs there-are all the Satellites from Taiwan okay? Actually, is everyone from Taiwan okay? I hope everyone stays safe and continue being excited/terrified for Olympics only!

For Americans, the men's event is over by Friday night, I think. But at least I get the weekend to mope and recover or cheer and party. Honestly, no matter what I'll be home for four consecutive nights because of feelings.

 

I took vacation time for those two days so I can fully focus on watching! But I do have to work over the weekend. Whatever happens, I'll probably be thinking about it for the next four years, or the next eight years. I still have *feelings* both ways about various results at Vancouver and Sochi.

 

I think if Yuzu were anyone else he'd be in a tough spot right now. But he's completely unique in how quickly he can peak. In a way it's probably easier for him to peak in a hurry than to sustain it over a longer period. He's capable of gold, so I'm going to TRY to relax and enjoy.

 

Nobu's quad lutz is really right there! I love that Yuzu seems inspired by him and Plushenko to continue. I know we haven't seen everything he can give yet.

So, do we know when Yuzu is leaving Toronto? I am thinking probably Sunday is a good bet... gives them time to get PC, get used to the time zone change and then be ready for practices...

I am really upset at the amount of hate messages on Korean Websites about Yuzuru Hanyu. They are writing hate messages on his news saying that he has no skill and is just benifiting from his nationality and comparing him to Yuna Kim. I am very angry because they are saying that she is way better than him but because she was Korean she was scored lower.

It is absurd. And the more I read it the more stressed out I get. I am Korean but it is ridiculous why an olympic hosting nation has to be so racist against Japanese skaters. Please help me because I am nearly crying. There are thousands of hate messages directed at him on Daum. If you can help please use google translate and defend him on this website.

Yuzuru “travels” from Toronto on the 11th, and arrives on the 12th due to the time difference (Pyeongchang is 14 hrs ahead of Toronto)

Don't confuse internet vitriol with real life. Most human beings are reasonable people, the loonies just thrive on anonymity. In the end, the opinions of others shouldn't really matter unless they are directly impacting his career and, given how much the Korean media seems to love him, I don't think there's much evidence that that's happening.  I would bet these people writing are probably quite young, too. Perhaps I'm naive but I don't think sane adults spend their time obsessively spreading hateful nonsense. I doubt anyone would form an opinion on him based on petty social media rants when it's clear just by looking at him that he's miraculously talented.

Don't mind them. It's useless to have an argument with haters. They always want an attention by saying negative things. They will happy if you respond and they will never agree with your opinion. It's wasting time and useless. Better read something positive. It will give you a good mood.

Statistically Korean people aged 40~50 are famous for sending hate messages due to daily stress. It is the majority of the Korean population hating on him for racist and political reasons. I am starting to be shameful of my own country because they post hate messages of russian and japanese skaters on youtube too. Yunabots are worshipping her like a god and they bash anyone who gets better scores than her, which I find absurd.

Soon... We will see him again.. 

 

Between chopin and seimei, I really missed seimei. I hope some fans recording the practice or run through. Is there an open practice for public to see?

ah, welcome to east asia, and Yuzu does not check out daum. Actually, think speed skating would be the worst, since china, korea and japan are all involved and we do not like each other.
