I would love to do that. Sadly, they are the sort of people that don't even watch TV. Like ever. Not at all interested in sports. If I suggested to cheer for a foreign athlete, I would certainly receive strange looks. Like "Japanese? Those are the people that travel in large groups and make photos of everything? And wait.... what is an athlete?" (Please, don't be offended, it's just a sad fact for many people to think like this...) I fear that such goal is too big to accomplish. Link to comment

I'm also planning to scan this image and convert it into something people can download and print out and use at the other comps this year, to be deployed ICN (In Case of Nessie). My thinking is to email it to those who request it. Your thoughts? So far this is a Planet-only project, not sure if I should make it more public. Soooooo cuuuute! So soft!! Wow! Mr. Hanyu does have lots of talented fan! Link to comment

I was panicking watching Javi upside down... I think seeing Yuzu do it would give me a good old-fashioned stroke... Then how about throw 3A ? Link to comment

I believe, though, that Yuzu is capable of charming almost everyone. Maybe I will try some undercover move and let them catch a glimpse of ethereal Yuzu in action when passing by... Link to comment

I hope he gets to have a cat sometime if he wants one, when his career settles down and if his asthma allows. He seems like he's really into cats. What would he name one? Axel the cat?

EisElle Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 well, that twitter thread comparing Yuzuru to cat exists for a reason... (I bet he's seen that too) unrelated, but when I opened the Planet homepage I almost had a heart attack reading 0 days on the countdown to ACI......my brain had failed to register the 3 next to the 0 exactly five minutes before that I was reasoning that I have no reasons to feel as anxious as last season because this time there are no OWG looming and Zu isn't betting his life on that gold, so both Zu and I can take it easy (LOL), but it looks like being zen is just an illusion Link to comment

Yuzuru: *nod nod* Eteri: I have chosen a program which will suit you. Daniil is preparing your music. You will win many gold medals. Yuzuru: *hands Eteri a Pooh flash drive* Eteri: What is this? Yuzuru: My music. Jump layout inside, PDF. Please read my notes. Also, sketch for costume and contact for Ito Satomi. Ito-san making best costumes. Call soon or whole Team Japan booking her. Eteri: I don't think you understand. I choose your programs. I choose your music. I choose your costumes. This is how it works. Yuzuru: But no? Eteri: No? Yuzuru: No? Eteri: Yes. Yuzuru: Yes. Eteri: ..... Yuzuru: Arigatou gozaimasu, Tutberidze-sensei! I go practice now. Eteri: What did he just -- Sorry coming too late but I want to add that, with "Arigatou gozaimasu" Yuzu bows down deeply with a polite smile. Yuzu will be fine. Eteri will lose all her hair.

Attack jumps on fire off the shoulder of Helsinki. I watched A-spins glitter in the dark near the Boston Gate. All those moments will not be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to .... be zen now.

Yoa Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Quote He was a bit shy and reserved, obviously not used to interview situations yet, but his eyes were sparkling when he was speaking about his idol. "It's Yuzuru Hanyu. We skate at the same club, I get to skate with him every day and it's really fun." From article about Stephen Gogolev. He mentioned it once in John Wilson Blades interview.
