When you realize this was a performance of a man who had a career ending injury 3 months before the olympics and started to train his quads just 2-3 weeks before the competition

[@lindaba4735]

What injuries did he have?

[@nieliangel]

@@lindaba4735 He feel on 4Lz on practice and had to withdraw. There are many detailed articles but it was a ligement injury on his right foot (landing foot) and he couldn't get a surgery because there is already nothing much left holding it. On this performance he was using strong painkillers. After a year at same competition (Cup of Russia), after breaking a world record in sp, he feel on 4Lo at the practice and injured the same foot again. Skated his foot swollen, won it but had to withdraw everything else but the World Championship (he was still not healed but finished 2nd aka a defeat in his book). This time its the same foot but the other side again a ligement injury. He said "I’ve consulted many people, but it’s not something that can be fixed with surgery. After my big injury, the area has become prone to injury even with a little impact. Even the same level of shock seems to impact more." After all that i have no idea what is holding his ankle tbh. He is currently skating in such state and aiming to go for unimaginable 4A.

@Trúc Vivian Phạm shoma's quite good at performing, but not at jumping. His 4F is ridiculous, it's not a flip, it's a floop Bonus: if he performs a program without UR, i’d be surprise lol. His quads are like 3.25 rotations with over 180 degree prerotation lmao. But he’s good at performing, i mean skating skills. Yuzu is the whole package: incredible at both performing and jumping, he has true textbook jumps, his programs have always been the hardest with only about 10 crossovers and many many difficult transitions and footwork and ofc, super difficult jumps. That’s why Yuzu’s so special. Now we have Nathan who is amazing at jumping but not very good at other things, on the other hand, Shoma’s good at performing but bad at jumping. They’re not as complete as Yuzu. In fact, a complete skater is really rare, actually i think Yuzu is the only one (i don’t know much about fs before Patrick and Daisuke era, so i’d be happy if someone acknowledge me someone else?) I write these bonus thing bc I’m afraid that u’ll misunderstand that i hate or criticize Shoma or sth else. What i wrote is actually popular in FS fandom, like, c’mon we have cameras, the audiences aren’t blind, they know when skaters cause mistakes. Sometimes the rules are just... flexible and skaters aren’t called for their mistakes, like Shoma’s UR and some ladies’. . . . Well the rules aren’t always flexible for everyone, just for some specific people lol. . . . And ofc not including Yuzu.

(Not very) fun fact: Yuzu had injured his ankle really badly before the Olympics, and lost several months of preparation almost until a few weeks before the competition. He decided to go back to training using painkillers, and is using them even in this performance. Also, during the practice before this, he couldn't land a single quad. But miraculously, he landed them when it really mattered. To me, his mental fortitude is just as impressive as the beautiful skating.

[@olumidetobiloba9549]

Yuzuru Hanyu keeps donating so much money to those in need. Yuzuru Hanyu continues to donate a great deal of money to the affected areas in Japan. Yuzuru Hanyu also said, "I will help those in need."In my opinion he donates a lot of money to the children of the world.I am European but know this story. Yuzuru Hanyu also said, "I will help those in need." Japanese rescued 765 Polish orphans in 1920 and 1922. Poland asked Japan to rescue Polish orphans.Japan immediately began rescue Polish orphans.The ancestors of yuzuru hanyu helped Polish orphans. The orphans were in Siberia, and their families died of cold and illness. If the Japanese did not rescue the orphans, the Polish orphans were dead. The Japanese continued to rescue the Polish orphans, losing their fingers due to frostbite and being threatened by Russians.The Japanese donated a lot of money to save Polish orphans.The Japanese sent orphans to Japan for treatment. The Japanese fed orphans a warm meal every day.All 765 Polish orphans have recovered. I am European but know this story.

​@Giovanna Bencivenga Herrador That's what training is for. If you make a mistake and only think about that, then your concentration is gone forever. The first thing a trainer would tell you is that mistakes aren't reversable and therefore it doesn't make sense to think about them once they happened. After the performance you can look back and watch what you did wrong, so you improve from that. But during the performance once you made a mistake, let it be. Go on, concentrate on what's to come and don't look back.

[@AnisDianaNana]

At this moment, he was competing with an unhealed injury and was on painkillers. As he passes into the second half, you could see that he was fighting the excruciating pain in his desperate attempts to land the remaining quads. Considering he already has asthma and with a weakened ankle, to endure the painful landings and not even touch the ice during the slight stumbles, it was simply his golden resilience, the burning desire to defend his medal and his unbeatable passion and love for the sport. I may not be the only one to say this, but we are seeing a living legend...and though I may never be able to see him in person, I am just truly happy to live in the same generation as Yuzuru Hanyu.

[@luckyclover4861]

It's not easy being a fan of Yuzuru Hanyu. * He gets injured/ill in almost every season of his senior career. * Insisting to compete while injured/ill. 1. Worlds 2012 - sprained ankle 2. Worlds 2013- flu 3. COC 2014- collission with Han Yan resulting in multitude of injuries. 4. NHK 2014- just 2 weeks after COC thus still unhealed. The only time he was out of the podium since winning GPF 2013. 5. Japan Nationals 2014- competed while oozing blood and pus on the abdomen from a bladder birth defect. Bound his abdomen with bandage and duct tape to avoid ruining his costume. He was rushed to the hospital immediately after the competition. 6. Japan Nationals 2016- He withdraw due to flu. 7. Worlds 2016- He didn't inform his coach that he was experiencing pain on his foot since the beginning of the season. Still competed the whole GP breaking World records back 2 back. He exacerbated his injuries resulting to a meltdown of an FP in Worlds. He was diagnosed with Lisfranc injury. He seriously thought it was the end of his carreer. 8. NHK 2017- went to OP while feverish. Tried jumping quad lutz, fell hard, damaging his ankle ligaments severely. He withdraw from competing. 9. Olympics 2018- After a news blackout for months, he showed up in Korea reassuring everyone that he's now feeling okay to compete. He successfully defended his olympic title, only to announce later that he's still not yet 100% recovered and that he only got through the competition with the help of pain medications. He withdraw from Worlds 2018 to recuperate. 10. Rostelecom Cup 2018- He reinjured the same ankle while trying to jump the quad loop in practice. Still insisted on competing. Went to podium to get his gold medal wearing crutches. I really can't believe that I wrote this huge wall of text just to whine about the agony of being a fanyu and list each and every one of Yuzu's propensity in ignoring his well-being. But who am I kidding? Even if he's this reckless, I still support him because he is a good man and I want to see how much farther he can go with his dreams despite having body limitations. He is a huge inspiration.

Yuzuru is a truly hero, a legendary skater, and a Prince of the ice. He is a born skater. He survived the 2011 March 11 earthquake and Tsunami, when his family had to sleep in a small space and eat small rice balls distributed by the shelter, unable to go to skate for many days. He yet moved around the country, seeking a chance to skate, not for games but for his own challenges and for his love for the people who suffered from the loss of lives and housing. Even now he continues donating most of his awards and funds received for his championships to his native town every year. His skating is not just a game but it is his soul, his life, and his love for the people, ice rink, and his family.
