[Louitunes]

93.  For the "Ahhhhhha!" moment each time he removes his Japan jacket to reveal the glorious outfit underneath for the first time. 

 

94.  Just..... The under armour.

95. His floppy adorkable way of running 

 

[Pammi]

96.  His extravagant bowing to the audience after a performance (Kurt said it looked like he was conducting the audience after H&L rather than bowing!)

 

[Sammie]

97. His cat like eyes. He always look he is smizing. 

[Dreamer]

98.for his thoughtfulness:

 

writing a thank  you letter to Tat for the music to Notte Stellata

for sending flowers to his Russian coaches(RJ 1) when they had some sort of grand opening

sending Oly chocolates to his supporters

 

99.  his sense of humor

 

[Dreamer]

Wow that was fast!

I guess we should make this thread...100 and counting? reasons to love yuzuru hanyu  

[Old Cat Lady]

102.  The way he mothers Shoma and now Jun.  Previous champions were threatened by the up and comers but he nurtures and guides them.

103. His weakness for all children

[Pammi]

104.  Because he ensured cheaper tickets for parent/child at Continues with Wings 

105.  Because he said that the eyes of his fans watching him are like shining stars to him

106.  Because he loved Johnny Weir for his unique style and beautiful skating when he was young, and still does

107.  Because he won the Olympics, Twice!!!

 

I could do this all day!

[TallyT]

108. For the way he fights back from adversity, never railing against the unfairness or complaining, just doing what needs to be done and more to overcome it... an inspiration to everyone even from a young age.

109....but, seriously, guys, The Waist.... (it bears mentioning twice!) 

 

 

110. For the way that you know he must be blushing if he's lurking and reading this list at all...

[Tee]

111. How organised he is / how he pays attention to the smallest of details.

112. The happiness that radiates off of him, sometimes at any moment tbh:

Spoiler

 

Me? Waxing poetic about Yuzuru Hanyu? It's more likely than you think.

 

[Pammi]

113.  Another reason to love him is because he LOVES these  Gold-trimmed trainers sooooo much and wears them every time we see him! 

 

[Pammi]

114.  We love him because along with the satisfaction, joy, and recognition he gains from his pursuit of excellence in his sport/art, he also makes himself vulnerable to criticism and failure - this is a very courageous thing to do for Yuzuru given how sensitive he is, and how much he loves winning .
