I actually think Yuzu should be both, but Disclaimer-I am a Fanyu. https://awards.laureus.com/nominees/ LAUREUS WORLD SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR 2019 NOMINEES Awarded to the sportsman who best demonstrates supreme athletic performance and achievement - such as consecutive or multiple world, continental, international or national and major championship titles or the establishment of world records or best performances Link to comment

Core Workout for Yuzu Fans who Otherwise Lack Motivation/Focus to Exercise: Step 1: Play video Step 2: Copy Yuzu's every move for duration of video Step 3: Congratulations, you just got a four-minute workout and probably didn't even notice because you were too busy reveling in joy of doing the same thing as Yuzu Step 3a: If you managed to keep pace with him, be proud of yourself that you can warm up like a 2x Olympic gold medalist (at least for a little while) Am I the only one who copied him? Haven't yet, but was thinking about it! Link to comment

Indeed, it is quite famous and prestigious. Maybe less to the mainstream audience (?), but I think most athletes would know of it. And seeing the athletes so well-dressed for the ceremony is always a plus (Ah, Roger sorry, can't control the inner fangirl) . Sadly I doubt Yuzu would go in person given the timing. A girl can dream though. Link to comment

Just watching it made my back ache (just joking on that part) but I have to say that in watching that workout of Yuzu's I got the feeling that there was more than physical action involved and that this was part of a ritual he uses when readying to compete that not only works out his body but also his mind and prepares him to focus for those upcoming minutes on the ice.

(& @Veveco) You can tell me that, but I'd never heard of it before Yuzu got nominated...by 'well-known', I mean 'something the world-wide general public would have heard of'...methinks it's prominent in Europe, more than the rest of the world, and given the number of Europeans on the panel, maybe I'm right?

Probably you're right. It was established and supported by major German and Swiss companies and most award ceremonies were held in Europe (most of them in Monaco). The statuette is also made in Europe by the luxurious company Cartier. I've heard about it maybe because I'm following sports. But last year when Federer won two awards it was big news here, he was everywhere in newspapers and TV. Link to comment
TallyT Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Regarding that 10 year challenge going round, I found the following two Yuzu ones to post on GS, thought you'd like them too He does look older in his Origin getup and hair, but NOT 10 years worth of older, surely? This one you'll have to click, I think http://picdeer.com/media/1958939837658995851_6240442011 Link to comment

Nah, I'm from Europe and didn't know about it. I asked my brother, but he neither. Link to comment

Sorry, I meant "well-known" as far as sport awards go. Which is not very far compared to movies/music awards, clearly. Even in Europe, I would guess that most people would know more the Ballon d'Or than the Laureus... But it is still prestigious, and I'm glad Yuzu is in the list, absolutely deserved Overall, you don't see much winter sport in the Laureus awards, at least this year, with the OWG it seems a bit more balanced?

(also, remember how we speculated if Yuzu does yoga? He was doing cat-cow in the end... and a faster version of it that looked.. funny lol) Link to comment
