It's Alexander Petrov of Russia. Since I hear Tracy Wilson talking with someone, and they mention Patrick Chan, I guess the footage is from SCI2016? Not sure what was on the monitor of Petrov's cellphone.

 

 

 

Thank you @sweetwater for the info. I also didn't know this was from 2016. Unfortunately I have not been a Fanyu for so long. I think the content on the cellphone has definitely Yuzu's interest quickly aroused

 I am the only one who writes in my language and who does translated into English by google translate and if you come here regularly you will have all the Yuzu Info in advance so as not to miss anything 

 

 

 

 

@Yuzuwinnie

To be honest, I also translate from my language into English with the help of Google/ DeepL translator. And if the translation is sometimes not perfect, I apologize in advance for that.

 

Thanks for sharing this video.

To be honest, I also translate from my language to English with the help of the Google / DEEPL translator. But sometimes the translation seems a bit funny.  For that, I apologize in advance.

Hi Annie :    well seen your Tik Tok and it is surely that YES and I can see from your flag that you are German? OK so I thought I was alone in  the  making (and play well) and I am a perceived, that sometimes what I wrote (when I will return to French) is surprising and videos, as soon as I see, I post them for you ALL the fanyus

 I can understand your translations well. Unfortunately I had no English in the school. But as I have already mentioned in one my posts, since  I've been on the Planet I'm learning English better and better

I looked back on Yuzuru Hanyu's World Figure Skating Championship 2021 support videos and posters that were aired in Sendai.

Yuzu cut from the ISU Figure Skating documentary, episode 4: Kiss. Cry 😊

Love the shot of Yuzu chatting with Piper and Paul and how he towers over them. Yuzu seems to get on well with a lot of the ice dancers actually...

[rockstaryuzu]

Somewhat random bit of knowledge about the Kanji in Yuzu's name. Apparently the 羽 doesn't only means 'wings' but can also be used as a counter for cute animals and birds:

which IMO just adds another layer of cute to Yuzu.

Zu's bio was updated again. And again I have no idea if anything was changed.

In some skaters' recent performances I feel a little bit interrupted by how they watch out for the boards, therefore I noticed another reason why Yuzu makes me forget the world: The rink doesn't obviously limit his skate (except in ice shows of course) anymore.

While others look at the boards to estimate the distances or even have to break the flow, it seems that he just doesn't pay attention. He knows the measures of the competition rink or his training rink in Sendai by heart, or in other words, his ice covering and choreo are absolutely under control in this aspect too. I rewatched Ten to Chi to from JNats, LMEY from Worlds and White Legend from Sendai to check. The swan is dancing on a frozen lake, no boards at all.

IMO Yuzu's ISU bio should have 2 tables or an extended table - I think it's really odd that the governing body of the sport hasn't the wherewithal to make sure that an athlete's complete competitive history is recorded - it's really shabby that Yuzu's record before 2014/15 season has disappeared - maybe this is why ISU keep inaccurately stating his Olympic achievements in any literature (ie only mentioning he is an Olympic champ, omitting the TWO TIME bit - if it's an administrator who isn't an FS fan and just checks the bio prior to writing any promotional literature, then they will make a mistake as his entire competition record is not there - imagine losing his first Oly gold just cos the table isnt big enough - ridiculous!) 

I couldnt see anything had changed either, but it's always great to see Hobbies: None, never fails to make me laugh!

I think the last line "Hanyu has contributed significantly to the choreo of his 2020/21 programs" was added.

Yup! 羽 is used for counting winged animals! (And also rabbits for some reason, maybe because it looks like they are flying when they hop? Don't really know).

Isn't because the word for "jump" and "fly" can be the same?

It wasn't. That one has been there many moons ago.

At the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships 2020 I remember Yuzuru Hanyu of Sendai, who broke the world record in short program and became the first man in history to win all major international competitions and achieved the Super Slam!

It seems there are many theories about the origin of counting rabbits as "羽".

What I heard when I was a child was that in the days when eating (four-footed) animal flesh was not allowed or forbidden because of Buddhist commandments, it was given as a kind of excuse to eat rabbits as "looking like a bird".

 

Other main theories of counting rabbits as "羽 (wa)" according to the site below (roughly translated by DeepL and me).

 

https://www.benricho.org/kazu/column_usagi-2yurai.html

 

(1) Their long ears look like bird feathers.
(2) The skeleton resembles that of a bird.
(3) Rabbits stand on two legs, were thought to be birds and eaten as such.

(4) "Rabbit うさぎ (Usagi)" is pronounced by breaking it down into "u and sagi", which are both bird names;  "鵜" and "鷺".
　(In this case, however, the counting method assumes that there are two birds at once.)
(5) The way a rabbit jumps around is like a bird in flight.
(6) The meat resembles bird meat.
(7) As rabbits are sometimes held by tying their ears, the word "１羽 (wa)" was derived from "１把 (wa)", which is used to count things that are tied up or bundled, and it resembles a bird.
(8) There is a method of catching rabbits using a net, which is similar to the method of catching birds.
(9) In regions where rabbits are considered sacred animals, the counting method was changed to distinguish them from other animals.

 

Edit:  There are other ways to count rabbits, including "匹 hiki" like other animals.

(Rough translation by me)

 

「できること、一つずつ。」One thing at a time as I can.

 

「自分の中ですごく大切にしている言葉のひとつで、自分が今まで出会ってきた言葉の中でも、凄く大切にしている言葉です。今まで『進化』とか『挑戦』とか言ってきましたが、毎日出来ることは違うし、苦しんだり、楽しかったり、幸せを感じたり、悲しみを感じたり、いろんな感情がありますが、できることを一つずつ丁寧に積み重ねていきたいと思っています。自分の一番の目標は4回転半を成功させたいということなので、そこに向かって今、全神経と、全気力を使ってる感じです。」

 

This is one of the words I have cherished myself, and one of the most important words I have ever encountered in my life. I have been talking about "evolution" and "challenge," but what I can do is different every day, and there are many emotions, such as suffering, joy, happiness, and sadness, but I want to carefully accumulate what I can do one by one. My main goal is to make 4A a success, so I'm using all of my nerves and energy to achieve it.

"One thing at a time as I can."

 

"It's one of the words I cherish very much, and it's one of the words I've come across that I cherish very much. I've said" evolution "or" challenge "until now. What I can do every day is different, and I have various emotions such as suffering, having fun, feeling happy, feeling sad, but I want to carefully accumulate what I can do one by one. My number one goal I want to succeed in four and a half revolutions, so I feel like I'm using all my nerves and all my energy toward that. "

I wish Yuzu, that he will achieve his goal. It is of course also important, that he stays healthy and injury free.

The thought of 4A makes me a little bit nervous.
