I really liked Tracy's interview. She seems so lovely, genuine and such a good influence on everyone she deals with at TCC... and I loved all of her little stories about the skaters...

I love them so much, because you can see the entire warm-up, performance, Pooh-rain, hugs and K&C moments from one perspective. In the official broadcasts with multiple camera angles you cannot really judge the huge ice coverage and speed that he actually has. I've never seen him live yet, but these clips gave me a rough idea. His aura and presence are so amazing.

With every new day I get more and more nervous about Worlds... but when I hear, how many young skaters love him, look up to him and believe in him, it calms me down and makes me happy
Tomoki, Gogo, Roman, Daniel, Plushy Jr, little Voronov, the flower girls... now even Vincent said that Yuzu is "on a different level from the rest of us"... this is so encouraging and satisfying.

That  FP... Haven't seen it  in months . I  took  a little  break after  CoR  from FS, needed it , the bittersweet  experience  was  too overwhelming. And  now  I feel  ready  to  come back. I was there  but  my mind mercifully  erased  everything  from my  memory  except  that  Ina  Bauer,  which  left  me  floored and  smitten  ,  it  was  so  long  and  powerful and left me  in awe from that  beauty  and subtle  power . I'm so angry  at  myself  that I  don't  remember  all the details  ,  stupid  games of memory , thank God  there  are  such  fan cams out three .  Shiiiit, "Why am I  crying???  (C)

Awwww, that explains it!  I wonder if that's how they enticed him to do the commercial or if it's a condition he put on it.

 

Spoiler

Not that I think he'd ever do this in a million years, but the first thing that popped into my brain was him being invited to do the commercial and then showing up with two big beefy Russian guys (who are actually very nice cousins of one of the Russian skaters and wouldn't harm a fly) and giving a very strong hint that he'd like some donation to Tohoku forest conservation.

Surely Yuzu will read all the messages and English should be no problem for him.

You don't need to sign up or anything.

I just posted my message without registering, and my message appeared right after. (People of Ameblo are not checking the comments now?!)

I'm not sure the blog accepts posts from overseas but I saw some comments of fans from Italy, Taiwan and China.

 

BTW, his blog entry (https://ameblo.jp/kose-sports/entry-12443581161.html) is short but very cute and easy to read .

It can be a very nice read for Japanese learners!

i just rewatched some of yuzu's perfs this season and i am reminded of one thing...as good as i think they are, yuzu has been disappointed with himself after every freeskate the first time after aci, he was literally disgusted by the score. the second time after helsinki, he thought he would get at least 200 bc he did 4 quads, but he was so surprised it was 190 and that his total wasnt 300. then he was hopeful to make the 300 mark since he did so well in the short at cor only to get into that accident and couldnt give a dream perf with the free/do better than helsinki. it makes me sad bc i just really hope he can feel happy with himself esp when origin has such personal meaning to him. 

 

like i know underscoring is the story of his life but i just want him to skate perfect. like idc if a perfect yuzu getting robbed at this point he just needs to feel satisfied with his perf

I hope this time there won't be "I feel no pain because I'm on painkillers, you know, and actually I still feel pain but I'm pretending I don't and I'm just gonna will the OGM into existence"

Well, of course I hope he can truly will two clean & gorgeous programs (and the gold medal) into existence at Worlds, but I hope he'll also be truly pain-free and that he has had nice and proper full training. And that there won't be any more scary falls during practice, warm-up, competition, on ice and off ice (I'm trying to cover everything). Please skating gods 

 

I'm trying hard to keep my zen but everytime I remember the wait is about to end I feel all the zen slipping away  or rather running away 

 

This is my prayer for Yuzuru Hanyu:

 

DEAR GOD please protect Yuzuru Hanyu (hereinafter referred to as “Yuzu”), the Japanese double Olympic champion, from all manner of injuries, both on and off the ice and that he will be able to skate injury-free for as many seasons as he wishes.

 

AND without limiting the generality of the foregoing, please protect Yuzu from:

 

1.         Bad people, negligent people and violent mentally ill people;

2.         Bad animals, negligent animals and violent mentally ill animals;

3.         Aliens and alien abductions;

4.         Accidents of any kind;

5.         Intentional assaults;

6.         Kidnappings, carjackings and hijackings;

7.         His own negligence including badly landed jumps and other skating errors;

8.         Inevitable accidents;

9.         Acts of God.

 

AND please let Yuzu be completely healed in all respects when he competes at the upcoming World Figure Skating Championships in Saitama, Japan and please let Yuzu skate two beautifully clean programs (short and free) in this competition and win the world championship for the third time in a decisive manner.

 

AND in this regard, and with respect to all future competitions, please protect Yuzu from bad and/or incompetent judges.

 

ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

 

AMEN

 

If I’ve missed anything, please feel free to add.

What if in the future when Brian, Ghislain  and Tracy retired, we will have yuzu and javi taking over coaching at TCC 

Actually, one time, Brian pretty much said that's his dream (it was in his joint interview with Yuzu in the first Team Brian book, I think). Yuzu was... not overly receptive, from what I remember. lol Actually, I think he might have mentioned it in an interview with Javi once, too... Javi did say he could maybe coach in Canada or even Japan as well, more than once, too.

 

It would be amazing, but considering both Yuzu and Javi have skating in their own home lands as their priorities, it might be tricky. I personally do dream that Yuzu will start a skating school with a world-wide reach, which could have partnerships, exchange programs and so on with other schools and rinks around the world, including Javi's in Spain and TCC... Whether or not that - or anything like that - will happen is anyone's guess, though...

Has anyone actually seen where the supposed underrotation on his Helsinki quad loop is? Does anyone here agree with that? I'm no technical specialist, but I think I know math well enough to be able to pick out most underrotations. The quad toe was borderline, but I couldn't see anything remotely resembling an underrotation on the loop.

Thanks guys. I tried again and I think my post finally got sent, although it hasn't appeared yet in the comments section. The cat post was super cute.

I was thinking the same thing. I even seem to recall reading somewhere that Yuzu said he'd like to be able to bring Brian's/TCC's methods back to Japan. 

 

Realistically, both Yuzu and Javi will in the future have big roles to play for figure skating in their respective countries, and Canada already has lots of good/ great potential future coaches. But it does speak volumes about how Brian sees both Yuzu and Javi that he would like them to take up the mantle at TCC.

I love them so much, because you can see the entire warm-up, performance, Pooh-rain, hugs and K&C moments from one perspective. In the official broadcasts with multiple camera angles you cannot really judge the huge ice coverage and speed that he actually has. I've never seen him live yet, but these clips gave me a rough idea. His aura and presence are so amazing.

With every new day I get more and more nervous about Worlds... but when I hear, how many young skaters love him, look up to him and believe in him, it calms me down and makes me happy
Tomoki, Gogo, Roman, Daniel, Plushy Jr, little Voronov, the flower girls... now even Vincent said that Yuzu is "on a different level from the rest of us"... this is so encouraging and satisfying.

 

Wow, I had this open to watch later and finally got around to it. I started off with Origin and than was mighty confused, because I didn't remember him falling in Helsinki... well, duh, because this is Rostelecom. I thought his skate with an ankle injury was his world record skate until he fell. He's so amazing.
