Reading Yuzu’s recent interview, it seems there is understandably a huge amount of pressure on him but I hope he knows that nothing will demolish his already established untouchable legacy and win/lose in Beijing doesn’t fade or overshadow what he has already done and achieved. If anything, his glorious win in PYC will always remain as one of the most inspiring memorable stories in the history of Olympics. He is the greatest ever and his mere skating is a gift for many.

 

@ universe, please let the story of Yuzu and his lover 4A have a happy ending~~~~

Chance has it that I watched it yesterday and I hesitated to post it and it's done by you Mary Ko and ARIGATO a lot  :headdesk: and even if we don't understand Japanese (ah YES I would like a translation of his lyrics ) just his gestures / the intonation of his words / the expression of his very expressive face and his HUMOR, we guess he says good about Yuzu's programs (well he has already done it and I posted them, months ago ....) and around 3:13 I heard some "nutcracker" music (and later too) that I :heartpound:so much

No. 3 アイスショーの舞台裏で震えた羽生結弦 高橋成美さんは「感動した」

Backstage at an ice show, Yuzuru Hanyu was trembling from anger (over the mistake he made)*

羽生結弦にはじめて抱いた感情は「嫉妬」だった。

2014年ソチオリンピック(五輪)ペア日本代表の高橋成美さん(29)は当時、小学5年生だった。父の転勤で住んでいた中国から一時帰国した際、仙台のリンクで練習した。そこに小学2年生の羽生がいた。その時、羽生を教えていたのが都築章一郎さん。高橋さんも7歳から指導を受けていた恩師だ。

「都築先生には結構、かわいがっていただいたと思っていたんですけど、日本に戻ってきたら、ゆづ(羽生)にその座を奪われていた。先生の眼中にはまず、ゆづがいて、私はその下だった」

都築さんから「ゆづを見習いなさい」と何度も言われた。

「悔しかった。その頃は私の方がジャンプが跳べたので、『できるんだよ』とゆづにマウントをとったこともありました」

でも、都築さんが「見習いなさい」と言った意味がすぐに分かった。

「ゆづは体の軸の作り方がすごく上手。ジャンプでもスピンでも、すごく細い軸を作るからぶれないんです」

「同世代の他の選手たちと一緒にふざけているように見えて、実は自分のやるべきことをやり終えてから、その輪に加わっていたんです」

「『スケートをやるならオリンピックチャンピオンにならないと意味がない』って言っていた。そんなビッグマウスなところにも憧れて、私も同じことを言っていました(笑)」

年上の女の子たちには甘え上手で、年下には気配りができる。コーチや母親たちにもかわいがられる。老若男女に好かれる羽生に対し、当初は「羽生結弦」を演じているのでは?と疑っていたという。

 

The first feeling she had for Yuzuru Hanyu was jealousy.

Narumi Takahashi (29), a skater of Japan's pairs team at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, was in the fifth grade of elementary school at the time. When she temporarily returned to Japan from China, where her father had been transferred, she practiced at a rink in Sendai. There, she met Hanyu, who was in the second grade. Shoichiro Tsuzuki was teaching Hanyu at that time. Tsuzuki had also taught Takahashi since she was seven years old.

"I thought that Mr. Tsuzuki took good care of me, but when I came back to Japan, Yuzu (Hanyu) had taken my place. Mr. Tsuzuki had Yazu in his mind first, and I was the next to him."

Tsuzuki told her many times, "You should learn from Yuzu."

"I was frustrated. At that time, I could jump better than him, so I sometimes acted high and mighty over Yuzu, telling him that I could do it."

But she soon understood what Tsuzuki meant when he told her to learn from him.

"Yuzu is very good at creating the axis of body. In jumps and spins, he makes a very thin axis, so he doesn't waver."

"He seemed to be joking around with the other skaters of his generation, but actually he had finished what he was supposed to do before joining them."

"He said, 'if I'm going to skate, I have to be an Olympic champion, otherwise it's meaningless,' and as I admired his big mouth, I said the same thing (laughs)." 

He was good at being spoiled by older girls and attentive to younger ones. He was loved by coaches and mothers alike. Hanyu is liked by men and women of all ages, and at first she suspected that he was playing the role of "Yuzuru Hanyu".

 

(*He succeeded a quad at the finale of the show changing his anger into power.)
