He makes me so anxious when he speaks English because I can FEEL how nervous he gets. His english is getting better tho.

[@imminii]

He was putting so much effort to answer that question and in English.... We love you yuzu

[@user-kr1rp9nk9d]

He is special. It doesn't matter if he's a winner or not. Just special.

[@Tensi1126]

Юля М 100 percent agree, he is winner in many ways!

[@assortedasmr430]

For me he is the winner no matter what...i fell in love with his gracefulness on the ice and most of all the elegance of yuzuru...

[@akas224]

these comments here make me feel like the whole universe unified one with full of affection ． Hanyu's fans are so nice .

[@Bujeninka]

He is not from our planet. He is flying above the ice. he is light like the wind. He is the wind. You cant catch him but you can feel him. You never able to see how hard or painful he feel. But you see how he is musical and plastic. Its a great pleasure to watch Yuzuru. I saw him once in Moscow and i will always remember it like something special and memorable. Thank you Youzuru San!

[@akas224]

you are so lucky. people say watching him live is so different from seeing him on TV. everyone says never forget the moment. you describe him so niceIy.

[@klarissaoh1133]

@@akas224 I have seen Yuzuru twice live in Moscow 2018 and Saitama 2019 and both times i cried because i was engulfed by emotions. And because of the atmosphere of universal love to him in arena.

[@akas224]

@@klarissaoh1133 twice! people dream even once... even the foreign minister of an Asian country dreams of it and asked to take him . you are such a nice lady , you deserve it. I always love your comment.

[@pintera7951]

He's from yuzuru planet, population one, only him 😆

[@Mylenne007]

His eyes are so expressive, just looking him speak is an experience

[@nieliangel]

He is the best (of all time even) One or two loses won't change that fact and the history he has written.He sure wasn't in his top form after all he went through but i believe he has even more potential than that. He is the man who has it all who has the artistic ability and perfect technical ability. If he went with easier jumping passes etc he could have easily won many more competition without risking the fall but he is a kind of perfectionist that would sacrifice his chance of win with doing the hardest/the best there is, even if it won't get rewarded accordingly. Thank you Yuzu for everything you've done for the sport

[@assortedasmr430]

Exactly...2 olympic gold medals....its enough to prove that you are awesome.

[@juven8133]

Yuzu you shouldn't feel regret. Cause you are an amazing person. And I'm so proud of you. 💓❤

[@Thistledove]

He is still the best in the world to me.

Precious Yuzuru Hanyu! You have nothing to prove with your tremendous success already. We are all grateful you decided to stay and compete after the Olympics, but please make sure your health is placed above all else.

[@akas224]

I can hear that he says thankyou to you.

You are one of the most amazing sportsmanship I have ever seen, your performances are so mesmerizing that I can’t get tired of watching, and your personality is very polite, down to earth and adorable!

[@Josh-il7wy]

omg what is this magnificence? i feel like this is the closest he has ever been on cam

[@lindakyo]

You own the hearts of people. For us, you are the King! 👑 I personally would love to see Yuzuru skating for many more years. A person who can move people's heart indeed!

[@SelenaFoxglove]

Yuzu you inspire and motivate all your fans. We love you

[@meihsiuchi5538]

Never feel regret. Your performances are always so beautiful and inspire so many many fans. We love you so much and forever. You are always the champion!

[@gogroregogoror]

The moment he finished his FS I started to sob uncontrolably. Thats the feeling Yuzuru gives me, of a human reaching his full potential and beyond. The energy combined with art makes me happy to be human. I don’t know if u share the same feeling but what a day to witness. Thank u Yuzu and ofc full credit to Nathan for keeping it together and more

[@weather9538]

Yuzuru is so sweet ❤️ he may be upset that he lost, but his love for skating really makes him the number one skater. Side note: his skin is amazing 😂

[@Berzelmayr]

itz zo zmooz

You’re doing us all a favour by just existing, Yuzuru. Thanks PJ!

[@Taywuxiang1961]

You are the first to me and all tour fans. Don't worry!

[@bleachobits]

Just as there is no rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, there is no rivalry between Yuzuru Hanyu and Nathan Chen. Both Messi and Yuzu are in a league of their own, they are out of this world, and they are both geniuses at their own respective sport both technically and artistically. We are very privileged to be able to witness such special talents during our lifetime.

[@hanadao6399]

Thank you so much, Ms. Pj Kwong, for the interview you brought to us! It’s a joy to see Yuzuru speaking English as well (although I couldn’t hear all what he said 😊😊) Yuzuru, thank you for everthing you did for this sport and outside this sport. You has inspired us in many other ways, brought us courage, passion, smiles and tears. You’re my one and only champion! 💖💖

[@dewichristakobis1625]

Our King of ice 😊 the king himself has said many times that he likes to compete. this defeat might make Tuzu tries really hard for the next competition to beat Nathan. from press confrence of world 2019 medalists yesterday, since I ever studied psychology, I can feel Yuzu's stare, glare, and gesture tell that he would absolutely try harder to be an unbeatable champion. For him, beside having gold, he is considered unsuccessful (he always say this). so I highly believe that he is on a birning fire now. But I genuinely hope that he will always prioritize his health first 😊

[@nikki9683]

I LOVE YOUUU 🥰

[@sseraphim-soulsearcher]

Pj Kwong Truly enjoyed your insightful questions and comments. Appreciated Yuzuru's opportunity to express why he loves to skate. There are no words to describe how he moves our hearts so deeply, but he does. Yuzuru has to be very "in tune" with his own being and the powers of heaven to dig deep and to perform at this level of beauty. Congratulations and appreciation to Yuzuru for communicating in English. It's charming. I didn't quite understand all that he said about why he likes to skate, and would be thankful for those few words to be clarified if possible. Thank you.

[@nieliangel]

He said he likes the feeling of skating like the wind, the cold and the smooth feeling but to be honest he really likes the competition

[@ritazustrupa7783]

He said thank you to Evgeni Plushenko for skating to this music ( because it was music, Plushenko skated to). I guess he felt inspired by him.

Yuzuru - U are the real genius but you have no cut your hair and to improve your English !

[@vspirit]

Hair doesn't seem long. Seems shorter than a few months back even. I think he actually looked nicer before. And nah on the English. At this point, I dont think it really matters that much anymore. It's too bad we'll probably never hear him give a TED talk (he'd be a great speaker if he had the English for it) or see him on Ellen but the guy isn't a fan of the language and it shows. We can't all be great at everything.

[@victoriya522]

Nedd Tyler That's not yr problem, lol、even try to say smth in jpnse

[@vspirit]

@@neddtyler1084 In heavily-accented English. He's able to communicate when it's purely technical, I suppose. Cos his skating ain't gonna get better if he can't do that much. His English always seems to take an upward trajectory whenever he's asked to explain technical stuff, even during interviews and presscons, when he's at his most nervous speaking a foreign language. But for him to speak his mind in it, well, that's a wee bit more difficult. Because in Japanese he's either very precise or very vague, both of which need a fair amount of proficiency or flair in the language being used to express them.
