Just not the sense of being entitled to do well and justification (injury, local bias) or blame (the athlete/the coaching programme) when they don’t that you get with US media. Yes I think that's pretty normal, especially when it comes to big competitions like the Olympics and who watch it are occasional spectators, they try to promote home athletes but there is always a limit and even if an Italian wins the competition X at the expense of the favorite athlete Y they won't belittle Y or his achievement
ruruzest Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I think the Cup of China 2014 pretty much sealed Chinese fans’s love and support for Yuzu. They admired the fighting spirit in this slender boy. Also his dramatic career and warrior spirit really inspire and appeal to lots Chinese fans, reporters whose flowering Chinese language can wax poetry about him.” Fate tells the warrior” you cannot withstand the storm, the warrior whispers back, “ I am the storm”. I met so many Chinese fans at competition. They hand made so many intricate gifts to give out! They paid for the bus ad in Toronto to celebrate Yuzu’s birthday and paid to get his name on a street light in Taiwan. They even have a Yuzu convention in Taiwan, a big one, where fans meet and share gifts! How adorable is that!

He is incredibly athletically and artistically gifted. He is erudite, thoughtful and insightful off the ice. He is intelligent and has emotional intelligence. He gives back to his sport, his community and his country. He must be a pretty good son and brother for his family members to sacrifice and support his career for such a long time. He is a high achiever, hardworking, and always working/evolving to become better. Didn't he mention that he is like a chrysalid in an interview? Last, he looks like a gentle flower but he is a steel magnolia.(cherry blossum/sakura)
Dreamer Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Posted Sunday at 11:06 PM @micaelis sending you my best wishes and wishing you a safe and healthy return. Take care! I was just catching up on all my Planet Hanyu pages. Micaelis, pray you are recovering quickly and will be posting an update soon!
SuperMin Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 So on the topic of why everyone loves Yuzu. I happened on this vid of Yuzu when he arrived back to Japan. He’s only 19....but he takes the time to pose for pictures, shake hands and bow as much as he can, handling the attention from media and fans with poise.
beki Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Do we have a thread to speculate on which Grand Prix Yuzu will show up at next season yet?

holina Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Quick question - what time is the broadcast for Yuzu’s monument reveal in Sendai?

ruruzest Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 the new monument is the Seimei pose! Speaking it into existence!
