Yuzuru Hanyu's ice show 'Notte Stellata'


Recommended Posts

The venue looks as if the audience will be nice and close to the ice. Good views and actual size Yuzu, rather than pipkin size Yuzu at the Dome

 

Please make this an annual event to help recovery efforts

This is why I became a fan of both of them.  Uchimura has always been quietly spoken, even more so than the usual for a Japanese athlete, a total perfectionist and so incredibly consistent, unbeaten in the all around for two Olympic cycles, confident but in a low key way, such a contrast to the often laddish team UK and the truly irritating collegiate chest thumping of the US.(  The Russians - I abandoned womens gymnastics due to the Soviet system after Elena Mukhina and I have never been able to ignore that shadow. ). I’ve enjoyed Japanese mens gymnastics since I was a teenager - their elegance is unparalleled, but like Yuzuru they’ll wait a long time for another Uchimura.

 

Let’s not forget why they are working together- both are involved in the disaster relief effort - Kohei has a less personal stake than Yuzuru but he’s been an ambassador for this charitable effort for a while.  It’s not much time to rehearse - but they’re both believers in ‘visualisation’ - mentally rehearsing the moves they will make - it’s going to be fascinating for me having followed both careers.

Do you remember Mitsuo Tsukahara ? (5 Olympic gold medals )

I often saw him on TV in the 1970s ..... he was superb  :yes:   ..... and quite handsome  :giggle:
