100 (and counting!) Reasons To Love Yuzuru Hanyu

[Hester]

43. For not only inspiring other figure skaters, but inspiring everyone who watchs him, by his unwavering determination, and undoubtedly beautiful convictions. I’ve always been afraid to put myself out there, but after coming to know him, how he never wavers (maybe he does or did I don’t know), but I’ve seen him being strong and brave when I don’t know I would’ve been. So much love to yuzu.

 

p.s I think there are more than 100 reasons to love him ❤️

63. For being the kaleidoscope he is every time he performs, conveying so much passion and emotions, allowing each one of us into his world and at the same time inviting us to find out our own interpretation/unleash our own emotions.

64. For the loveliness of his names. 'Yuzuru Hanyu' is a really enjoyable name to say. 

And for the way some announcers feast on the prolonged, triumphant, introduction version : ...."Yuuuuuzerrruuuuuu! .......HannnnYuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!"

 

65. For the giggles all those wrong names bring. 

 

66. For the thrill of anticipation that hearing the lovely name announced in a rink brings. (see 63).
