After I climb over one wall, there is always the next wall. But I want to keep overcoming those walls." -Yuzuru Hanyu

 

Adversity makes Yuzu stronger, no doubt he will come back healthy and mentally hungry for the Olympics!

Well I hope for a quick, good recovery, that the issue is inder control, and he and Javi use this setback as fuel for olys. That the problems quota is all used up, and it is upwards now. 

 

Well, I can catch up on sleep for the  next 2 months.

Good choice.

Just caught up after 2 hours of sleep... can't stop reading and can't stop crying either... Why oh why does this season have to be such a struggle for Yuzu when all he did was put his heart and soul into his training? And he's probably more hurt than anyone else about the turn of events... 

 

Now what we can do is to give him our support as he recovers from his injury and gets ready for the Nationals...

I figured I'd tune in to the British Eurosport guys, but they don't seem up to date with their information, they don't know he has withdrawn... and actually had some bit of a laugh when discussing how many fans would be devastated if he were to WD. 

I felt the need to kill my television right there and then.

Because he is Yuzu.

 

Can we organise another well wishes project? Like the one he got back in '15/'16? Where he got a Trilogy level of thick album (in case you don't know-one Trilogy book is approx.1000pages, there are 3 of them as the name suggest...) with all the well-wishes and messages of support, and 'don't flippin' dare to blame yourself Yuzu' messages?

hmm....how about satellites take photos of their hometown to show all the countries represented as in the orbit of planet hanyu?

They laughed at the possibility of fans being devastated by a skater's WD?

Yeah, BESP is cancelled.

Yeah ain't it just always such great fun when people feel bad  why don't they go and kick a puppy or steal some kid's ice cream

Technically, the quota is still on track, if we want to look on the bright sides.

During 13-14 season, Yuzu had 2 silvers and went on to win 4 more competitions with gold

 

ACI - silver

COR - silver

JN - gold?!

Oly - gold?!

Worlds - gold?!

Cool idea. As an Arashi fan we had a project where fans take a picture of the sky of their hometown. We were all far apart but connected. I thought that was cool.

I would love to, but I'm at the exchange in Slovenia, so the earliest I could get back to Poland is by December...oh well, there are other satellites there, and I can send Slovenian well wishes xD

Why do I feel like I know who was commenting...

Nononono, positive thinking, positive thinking!

How many skaters had already wished Yuzu a speed recovery?

Laugh is a very big word, but it did come across as a bit of a... chuckle kinda thing. It irked me enough, anyway. I'm sure it wasn't intentionally mean or anything, and I'm really just making too much of it, it just sounded... not like something I wanted to hear at that moment. I mean, I'm really sensitive to anything that isn't 100 % nice about Hanyu / fans right now, right? ;-)

):

 

I'm really sad at the news... I don't care about WD or GPF or whatever, I just hope he will be ok for the Olys... Can I confirm with you guys, the injury is a LCL injury? Is there any other injury? ; - ; 

 

EDIT: I know many of you are worried about strategy for the Olys because of him missing GPF, but I think the event lacks strategic importance now that Yuzu, Javi and Patrick are not going. It's different from GPF'13 when Yuzu scored his first major victory over Patrick, the Oly fav at that time.

He won 4 if we count Japanese Nats (won those as well then), but well, if he makes a comeback at Nats, then decides to go to both 4CC and Olys (I know how absolutely utterly ridiculous of an idea is this :D), the quota will be correct xD

Possibilities are endless, we're actually lucky it's the first half of the season, and not, say, warm up before GPF (two weeks between it and Nats? Even with slight injury, training time would be a hazard...)
