Update on his right knee from Asahi

http://www.asahi.com/articles/ASK9Q2CWMK9QUTQP004.html

 

Rough translation of Yuzu related part:

 

On September 21st (22th in JST,) figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu (ANA) participated in an open practice in the ice rink in Montreal, Canada where Autumn Classic International will be held. After the practice session, he revealed that he would not attempt 4Lo in this competition due to mild pain in his right knee. In the practice, he beautifully nailed 4T and 4S combination. Men’s SP will happen in 22nd.

 

On his right knee, Hanyu said, “It hasn’t developed into a serious injury yet, but I am going to cut down on my right foot take-off jumps in order not to let it develop into serious one.” However, he is quite ambitious about other things. In FS he is planning to attempt two 3A and 3 quads in the second half. “As for the second half, I think this layout is the most difficult, and I want to nail all these jumps,” he said.

 

Coach Brian Orser said that the quad Lutz is “part of our plan, our goal for this season.” About Hanyu’s condition, he said, “He is in the best shape ever. The pain (in his right knee) is a mild one. He doesn’t need to get treatment. However, in my experience, when you feel a pain, your body has something to tell you, so I decided to make him water down technically. He won’t attempt 4Lo. I think the pain was caused by fatigue from training.”

Some other reports and comments from Yuzu in other articles:

 

According to Hochi, he started to have a sense of discomfort in his right knee from10 days ago.

He will do 4S instead of 4Lo in his SP.

His jump layout in FS is going to be 3Lz, 3Lo, 3F // 4S-3T, 4T-1Lo-3S, 4T, 3A-2T, 3A

According to Daily Sports, at first, Brian didn’t tell him that he was going to compete with Javi here. So Yuzu was surprised when he heard about it and said “What?” (「えっ？」) Though he said he has been motivated by this situation, saying “I can train thinking “I’m not going to get beaten by him!” when we train together.” https://www.daily.co.jp/general/2017/09/22/0010577795.shtml

 

Another Yuzu’s comment reported in several sources:

“I want to focus on what I’m doing. I am clear about what I can do now, so I’m going to do what I have to do.”

News every.

He says "I want to do what I can do now, not paying (too much) attention to my body." (Sorry for poor direct translation.)

I just hope he won't push himself so much!

This is already shared? About 4lz,

 

Brian says, he doesn't have to follow the other skaters having multiple quads.  He surpasses them in spin, step, transition, coreo and skating skills.  We have to be wise.  

Hanyu himself showed his intention not so positive to incorporate 4lz into program on sep.21.
