Japan Times Article: Hamilton, Cousins reflect on Hanyu’s brilliance, drawing power

 

SCOTT HAMILTON, American Figure Skater, commentator

Quote

"We saw in Sochi how remarkable of an athlete he is,” Hamilton stated. “The way that he presents himself through his programs and his artistry as being very organic and genuine to who he is as a skater."

 

ROBON COUSINS, British Figure Skater

Quote

“Coping with the pressure. It’s amazing,” Cousins stated. “We know from watching interviews, he put the pressure on himself. I saw an interview where he said, ‘People say I know don’t have to do what everyone else does, but I want to.’

 

“That’s the kind of person that becomes a star and a champion, and a very unique and special Olympian. Which is what he is,” Cousins commented. “Two-time Olympic gold medalist. He has set a new benchmark.”

 

"... I don’t know him that well, but I would say that Hanyu is that person who doesn’t need to know who’s in the audience,” Cousins continued. “He needs to know what he wants and he makes them come to him. It’s a different dynamic, but it absolutely is mesmerizing.

Yuzuru Hanyu is another role model. He's had ups and downs. For me, he's a legend - he lost almost half the season and yet he could put himself together and skate so well. That commands a lot of respect #PyeongChang2018

Congratulations, Yuzuru. You have skated magnificently. Records are made to be tied or broken by other skaters, and I have zero interest on whether or not my record was broken but I am very pleased that it was broken by a skater with the quality and character of Yuzuru Hanyu.

Imagine Yuzu coming out in one of the stalls in the bathroom and them being like "OMG! It's Yuzu! Can we take a picture?"
