He was wearing his heart monitor device for the gala performance? well, my fanyu experience says his condition isn't good~ time to log off

 

Could anyone please explain to me why he needs a heart monitor? I am sorry to be so ignorant, and I am not trying to pry into Yuzu’s personal health issues that he wants kept secret, but I am asking a “common knowledge” question that I do not know. I admit that I am concerned, and I hope there is a simple answer that will console me, like “everyone does it because…”

My guess is that he tracks his HR for training purposes, not medical. He’s never mentioned any health problems that would require heart monitoring during exercise. (Although, Yuzu being Yuzu, I wouldn’t expect him to.)

Heart rate monitoring is something that most likely all athletes do. Just a simple google search turned up an article that mentioned Kaitlyn Osmond used one in training, and that her heart rate could go up to 200. I can't really provide any in depth information for why it's done in skating, since I only ever did beginner stuff and thus never needed much stamina, but for example, for running I looked at my heart rate to know what pace to run at depending on how long I wanted to run, and for training purposes. For example, you wouldn't aim to have the same heart rate while running if you did a 10k vs a 500m sprint. When you expect to do things in short bursts you can afford for your heart rate to go much higher for a little while (like skating, it's short, only 3-4 min, but it's VERY intense). So, in other words, monitoring your heart rate provides you with a lot of useful information about your limits, how to improve endurance, etc. Like river said, there's never been any evidence that Yuzu wears it for health issues.

I put my summary thoughts under spoiler as it seems a bit long.  

  Hide contents

This roller coaster ride has been unique in its way and is v different from prior rides since I started 4 years ago after recognising this name Yuzuru Hanyu and Pooh rains from his PC victory.  My diary for last few weeks captured different and evolving moods and thoughts as each day went by, but there are a few thoughts remain unchanged or get reinforced further after all.

 

First, thank you Yuzu for being true to himself and firm on his decisions, which are again proved to be the right decisions after all, be it to attempt 4A or to stay and perform at gala.  He still is the one saving lives after these 2 exhausting weeks.  He still prioritises his country, supporters and his skates more than himself /his health.  Such dilemmas :tumblr_inline_n18qr5lPWB1qid2nw:, as no one want to see him suffering while everyone love him more as that is the Yuzuru Hanyu /Goat way of working.  (And if one day he wants to be selfish to prioritise himself first, please and by all means!)

 

Yuzu is like a king who understands the bitters of his ordinary people.  His comments at press conference about his 4A challenge is no different from everyone’s struggles moved me a lot.  Somehow I do believe each Fanyu is also having a yuzu inside, fighting against many big or small obstacles unfairness injustice in our own daily lives.  Sometimes we withdraw, sometimes we back off a bit with a play-safe compromise, sometimes we fight when hardest hit... so then sometimes we succeed, sometimes failed, sometimes we got hurt but move on bearing the pains in blood, flesh and tears...  I /we cheer for him and cheer for myself /ourselves I think

 

Sadly the world is not always fair but filled with nonsense, bad lucks and ill thoughts/acts that we cannot control or avoid.  While I am still digesting for years but a senior once explained this as - all trials and bad times as the processes for us to grow and reveal love, thus the best is yet to come if not now per God’s plan.  Perhaps we need not be too upset with the universe for all those forced majeure happened in that week, as Yuzu has now gained so much love and grows further, especially seeing his words interpreting the situations, protecting his opponents and standing for himself... 

 

And the best thing to hear is that he is happy to be Yuzuru Hanyu and proud of what he has done and gone though including good or bad times.  He has become even more matured and wise (was already over-matured in the last decade for his age, whether it was 17 or 23 then).  While fans try to shed him lights and support him, he is still the one reflecting lights back and shine even brighter.  Anyone who has still not yet recovered after HYK and his smiles these few days?

 

It would have been a privilege if I had the chance to walk alongside with the wild young prince starting from junior or early adult stage on his way to the peak.  (Quite jealous of those who fell into this rabbit hole early!)  Yet I feel lucky and honored to be able and continue fighting with the matured wise caring king to reach higher peaks or dancing gracefully at rock-bottoms or the dark nights, or just doing picnics on some highland plains or forests happily with Poohs...

 

Other than Thank you and Proud of you, I can only say Proud of you and Thank you so much :tumblr_inline_n18qrbDQJn1qid2nw::tumblr_inline_n18qr7hmfk1qid2nw::8788161:

 

 

 

 

This should not be put under spoiler. It's so lovely and I 100% agree with with you :grouphug2:

 

I also believe that the best is yet to come for Yuzu - as in, he doesn't get what he wants this time because he is destined for something better and greater. The universe has great plans for Yuzuru, I believe that. Everything happens for a reason, it will be worth it in the long run and perhaps the reason will be revealed then. Ditto on not knowing about Yuzu earlier, I want to experience Sochi and PyeongChang too, but it's never too late to support him :grouphug:

11 mins of JOY.

Fancam of the gala ending. I think many versions of different angles or even cuts of this video have been shared but I don't remember seeing Yuzu going "ganbatte' at Shasha when she jumped in front of him though.

https://video.weibo.com/show?fid=1034:4739005179428876

 

If you prefer twitter, this thread has the cut of the full video.

 

 

Qn: Anyone has a reliable method to download video from Weibo on PC?

This reminds me - I kept wondering why he was staying away from everyone when they were all standing against the barriers?

Probably my usual overthinking, or maybe he was just leaving space for other skaters to come in that space.

 

Edit: Xinyue just loves hugging him/holding his hand etc. It warms my heart 😍😍 hope Yuzu felt the love!

You can try right click and select 'save video as...' 

or this: https://weibomiaopai.com/download-video-parser.php

Thanks. The original video I see only give option to copy URL when I right click. But I realised when I copied the link to another browser to watch, I can then right click to save video and the link I pasted above does allow that. Silly me who did not realise until later :p

Yes. Xinyu seems to be looking out for Yuzu. Very heartwarming to see that. 

Sorry if this has already been shared: nbc version. Not sure if true, but i read somewhere it is Tanith White and Ashley Wagner. They talk very nice about Yuzu here.
