In the 2022 Winter Olympics, Yuzuru Hanyu skated for his dream. If he hadn't stepped on the ice hole in the short program, he should have a great chance to challenge the 4A success. It can be seen from his recovery training in the figure skating training hall after the game that he is at the top both in terms of competitive state and competitive level! As his fans, we will always support all of his decisions, and as long as he continues to move forward, we look forward to the return of the king. We love you, Yuzu, come on!❤️👍👍👍
wow (12:03) "I want to take home gold at the olympics. That's not my end goal, but I believe it'll be the beginning from there." this kid was SIXTEEN YEARS OLD when he said this. unbelievable.
Hi. I am from Miyagi, Japan and below is my translation of the program. I wanted people to learn more about Hanyu and the 2011 disaster. ************ “Advice, please!” SM (Shuzo Matsuoka: the presenter/narrator of this segment and one of the most popular sport commentators and former national tennis champion)
So, being 4th at Cup of China, so close to the podium, was young Yuzuru Hanyu. So young, only 16 years old. He is said to be the ace skater of the next generation. And...his biggest weapon is...none other than...one, two, three, the quadruple jumps. Here at the Grand Prix Series in China, a Japanese supernova is born. 0:49 Yuzuru Hanyu, 16 years old. His biggest weapon is... Here is 3L, 3T...Yes! He did it. What a clean finish! quadruple jumps. the most difficult of all jumps quadruple jumps. During the Canadian Grand Prix held in the week before, even Patrick Chan, the current world champion who holds the world record, tried the jump three times and failed twice. Hanyu, who became the 4th (in COC) with a very small margin between himself and the top three, who is merely in the 2nd year of joining the senior competitions, was the only skater who landed the quad jumps in both SP and FP. So this new talent in Japan...What kind of athlete is he? (The interview) SM and YH: Hello! So nice to meet you! SM: What is this? YH: My mother likes power stones, and I myself am quite interested in them. SM: Wouldn’t they annoy you when you jump a quad? YH: No, not at all. SM: But like you have so many on... YH: No, not for me...Hehehe SM: What ‘hehehe’? What a curious young character! Actually, this is the boy who became last year’s Junior World Figure Skate champion. When asked about quadruple jumps, confident words came out. YH: Well, Yes. During the practice, the (success) rate has been increasing. Out of ten, I think I can easily land eight of them. SM: Eight out of ten? Easily? YH: Yes. I take quad jumps as one part of my artistic expression. I want to land quality quad jumps as part of my total program (choreography).” MS: How old are you? YH: I am 16 years old. MS: How is that possible (to think like that)? 3:11 Last season, he tried 50 jumps in a day, landing only one or two. The success rate was less than 2%. This season, the rate has increased to an astonishing 80%. The key behind this remarkable progress is? YH: “Hmmmm...the moment that you ‘build up’? SM: ‘the moment of a ‘build up’? YH: Yes. Just before you take off, there is this point in time when you have to ‘build up’. Hanyu who has found the moment to ‘build up’... Oh...what a beautiful jump! So light! 3:58 So he showed us what it meant: “So here at this moment...what I feel most is...just before the jump, when I face the front...my whole attention is...right here.” SM: So it is like a weight holding your body down?” YH: Well, like a wall or a hand pressed against here... you could imagine a pole maybe?... Then that (pole) becomes the axis , and yes, like a pole, my body rotates around it, then that pole shifts towards there, left to right.” So here at this moment, around his left shoulder, he imagines something like a pole, which will then shift towards his right shoulder just before the take off... He says once he discovered his own ‘build up’ point, his quad jumps became more stable. 5:15 During the journey of developing this technique, however, he had to overcome an enormous adversity. This is Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture where his homerink is, the place where the Great East Japan Disaster hit on 11 March that year. Hanyu was in the middle of his skate practice. SM: So it happened when you were practising skating here? YH: Yes. SM: Suddenly? YH: Yes, very sudden. SM: So how did it happen? You were on the ice?” YH: Yes, right now the rink is flat, isn’t it? But (when the quake hit), the ice was undulating its surface. It did not feel like it was ice...The shoe shelves collapsed and skate shoes were flying in the air. What we were seeing was so surreal. Nothing felt normal. I forgot what ‘normality’was. He lost his practice rink where he has been skating since he was 4 years old. His house was also damaged and he had to stay at the emergency evacuation point. “During that time*, I could not think of myself as a figure skater or anything. Such an idea became totally irrelevant...What was necessary was just to survive. I just became a bare human being.“ Nanami Abe (Former Coach of YH since he was 10 y.o.): Well, there was no water, no gas, no electricity. No petrol. So just surviving each moment was the priority. We could not think about skating. It just wasn’t the time for anything like that, was it? YH: First we had to live. NA: We had to survive. YH: Well...I thought I may have to give up skating for at least a couple of years. One month after the disaster, Hanyu came across a turning point. “At the beginning of April, I was invited to perform at a charity ice show in Kobe.” On 9 April, Japan’s top figure skaters such as Daisuke Takahashi, Shizuka Arakawa etc gathered in Kobe for a charity ice show in support of the disaster recovery efforts. “(Announcement) four weeks since the disaster, I, Yuzuru Hanyu, am so grateful for this opportunity to be able to stand up and perform in front of you in Kobe, the city that had to overcome devastations of the 1995 disaster.” (Hanyu performs the Swan program) I just had to deliver my very best performance I could offer. I wanted to express every part of what I was right at that moment.
8:43 Hanyu received the biggest applause on the day. “Not everyone was there to see me, but after seeing my performance, there were people who were moved to tears. There were those who stood up and gave me applause. I was so happy to receive such huge applause for what I did with my utmost effort. And it made me feel that maybe there is not any other sport that could move the audience so much.” That was the moment Hanyu decided to continue figure skating. 9:31 After this, invitations for Hanyu to participate in charity ice shows arrived from all over Japan. In the end he participated in 60 shows in the next six months. Hanyu decided to tackle this tight schedule positively. First of all, as he no longer had his practice rink, he would arrive at the show venue early and used the rink for his practice. He then did one more thing to include quad jumps in his show performances. Takeshi Honda (also from Sendai and world championship Bronze medalist), says it is very rare for a skater to include quad jumps in show programs. During show performances, spotlights are your only guide. Your sense of distance, rhythm...they change...even the feel during the jump affects your skating and makes it very difficult. Therefore, not many skaters would try. But Hanyu was trying that all the time this year. And his landing rate was astonishing. 10:55 Hanyu also had an unexpected encounter meeting Stephane Lambiel, a quad jumper and former World Champinon. So the brave young Hanyu went directly to Stephane to seek for advice on his quad jumps. SM: What? That Lambiel? He is like God of figure skating, isn’t he? Wow! YH: Hehehe... SM: So let’s say I am Lambiel.., how did you approach? YH: Oh no. I am so embarrassed to say... SM: No no no...just...roughly..? YH: well...I think it was just like...Advice, please...ish? 11:30 Despite the devastation of the disaster, and facing so many challenges, Hanyu kept moving forward and refined his quad skills. So that was how he gained his ‘moment to ‘build up’ this season. Right now, Hanyu has a future vision. SM: What is your dream? YH: I want to get gold medal at the Olympics. But that is not the goal. It will be my starting point. SM: ...How old did you say you are now? YH: I am 16 years old. SM: Oh well...No one can resist supporting you, then. YH: Hehe 12:23 SM: Well truly, you just cannot resist him, can you? He said getting Olympic gold was his beginning. So I asked what would follow. He said, “even in ten years, the wounds of the disaster would not have been healed. That is why I want to keep skating and give them support”. He has a ten year vision. Talking to him made me realise he is such an independent human being. A person who has clear ideas. I cannot believe this person is just 16 years old. Ichiro Furutachi (the anchor) : Well, so he had to experience the disaster. His suffering must have been enormous. But ‘thankfully’ he is able to keep skating, and for those people who will be fighting against such enormous challenges long into the future, he has a strong conviction to dedicate himself to their recovery effort. SM: Yes, he knows himself. As for the quadruple jumps, most other athletes I have met could not really explain the technique they used to say “we just jump.” But Hanyu can describe his technique so articulately. IF: So the shifting ‘pole’, he says? SM: Yes. He says as long as he sees the red pole clearly, he can land his quad jumps. Even when he is not 100%, he would know what needs to be done to correct his techniques. And yet, he is just 16 years old... IF: Yes, when he lands his jumps, the reach of his arms is so impressive, isn’t it? Female announcer: Yes, his arms and legs are so long! SM: So you said that yourself, Mr Furutachi, didn’t you, thatThis athlete was unlike anyone else. IF: well, I don’t know much (about figure skating)but he really made an impression, didn’t he? So exciting to see his future! *On March 11 2011, a Magnitude 9 earthquake and the consequent mega tsunamis killed almost 20,000 people in Tohoku and Kanto areas along the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan. It was at the end of this season that the young Hanyu performed his Romeo and Juliette program and won Bronze at 2012 World Championship.
@@hbattagl im so glad to finally understand what they said... thank you so much!! Hanyu really have 10 years vision that i believe already realize one by one.. i think he could be a great technique coach for Japanese skaters in the future. Once again, thank you so much!
Aww, thank you so much for your efforts!! 💞 To watch these vids and to know what Yuzu and the others talking about is everything!! I usually watch them without understanding anything:)) I hope more people can see your translation. 💝💝💝
I really appreciate videos like this. Is there anyone who can make engl. subtitl., please, please? I don't say english is better, english is also not my language, but japanese is not possible for me now.
I love yuzuru with all My Heart and Soul and Pray for Him every day And I don't know how the person whom Him love the.most he is so Blinded and made so.many.excuses to not be with Him I pray for him that him DON'T take so long to decide or Hi going to loose "THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND PURE PEARL-SOUL IN THE WORDL.❤🙏
He said he wanted to get the gold medal at Olympics and that would be the beginning. He supposed the damages of the Tohoku earthquake would have not be healed even after 10 years, so he thought the winning the Olympics was gonna be the beginning to support for restoration of the disaster.
16歳で言った事を今全て叶えて居る凄い
2011年ファンタジーオンアイス新潟の映像を見るなんて。丁度昨日2023年ファンタジーオンアイス新潟公演が終了したところです。震災を経験して被災地…被災してきた方達をずっと見てきてその方達に寄り添う羽生さん。ノッテでその思いが今も強いそして此れからも羽生さんは持ち続けて行くでしょう。触れない羽生さんの強い心素晴らしいですね。もうじき決意表明をしてから1年が経ちます。
今、2022年。北京オリンピックも終わった。演技で金メダルは取れなかったけど人間性と精神力では金メダルです。 4回転半も認知された。彼は凄い。 どれだけ日本を勇気づけた事か！ どんな時も彼のフアンです。
東日本大震災から早くも１１年、羽生結弦さんは東日本だけでなく各地の災害にも心を寄せて寄付などを続けています。そして悲しんでいる人などに勇気を与えたくて努力を重ねている。このインタビューの頃はまだ１６歳、しっかり話していたりするけれどやっぱり１６歳の可愛らしさ満タンです。あんなに可愛い男の子が傍にいたら頭なでなでしてしまいそう。完全オバサン目線。
ここ最近何度も見させてもらってます。TH-camをデビュー、1年ちょっと！
前向きな羽生選手を毎日見れることが幸せです。
松岡さん熱い！
羽生選手、そんな丸秘を話して大丈夫？ と心配したり・・・。
大きな羽生選手の懐の深さ、大きさに驚き！
地震の経験、それからの将来について真剣に考えられたこと、答えを出されたことに普通ではない決断に至る、こんなことが元々あった強い信念に新たに将来に向かって大きな目的を持たれたんでしょうか。
天才であろう、才能ある人が努力を惜しまず前へ進む姿。
一般人？である私など、未だ毎日の日常生活に追われているのに。
応援することで、気持ちを込めて応援することで喜びを感じている。
プロになってから、ますますの活躍で、ニュースでTH-camで近況が知らされ嬉しい限り。
SharePrecticeでは、何度も彼の毎日の努力を拝見し、それを楽しませてもらってる。
落ち込んだ暗い日から、立ち上がれたのも彼のおかげ！ 同じ時代に生きれることに感謝！💓💖💖
素敵です頑張ってください😊
この時皆んな羽生さんに魅せられてファンが増えていつたんだな
被災後、荒川静香さんの導き、リンクに、立たれたときのファンは、私たちも、被災者で、こんなに頑張っているのだから、結弦様にも、夢を諦めないで、頑張ってほしいという気持ちだったと思います。今も世界中のファンが、同じ気持ちでおうえんしているとおもいます。
結弦くんの4回転は、こうやって出来上がってきたのですね。
スポットライトの中でのジャンプが難しいことを初めて知りました。
挑戦に挑戦を重ねて、本当に素晴らしいです✨
私も小さい頃にスケートに出会っていたら、ジャンプを飛んで、スピンもしてみたかったです✨
物怖じしないというか、してみて怖くなるかもしれませんが、スケートは、スピードを出せたり、飛べたり、魅力がいっぱいですね✨
１０年超えてもなおトップに立ってフィギュア界を引っ張っている羽生結弦くん。才能、生まれながらのスタイル、なにより弛まぬ努力。本当にすごい人。。
10年以上も世界のトップレベルを走り続ける羽生結弦は本当にすごい。
羽生くんは、天才的ですね〜！もうお顔も綺麗だし、滑ってる姿もとても素敵ですよね！このような方がいるんだな、と思いましたよ‼️‼️‼️これからもどんどん羽生くん、成長して行ってね！ガンバ！羽生くん‼️‼️‼️😆👍🎉🎊💞💖💕
軸がぶれないのは人間性の軸もブレてないってことですね。16歳から今まで。
テレビでも観ましたがここで又観れて良かったです。
本当に頑張るいい子ですよね！
こんな選手は二度と出ないでしょう！
東京ドーム頑張って下さい！
時々この動画を拝見させてもらってます。
近頃はこの動画を見た直後に現在の羽生さんの動画を見るのですが、今現在の姿を見る度にいつも「うわー大人になったなぁ」と感慨深い気持ちになりますね。
この動画では「羽生くん」と呼びたくなるけど、今はすっかり羽生さんに定着。
でもあと数十年もすると「御大」と呼ぶに相応しい人になるんだろうなぁ•••
15才 から 会場内を魅了させてたんですね。
才能が漏れ出してた〜
凄い。そして 物怖じしない探究心。周りへの優しさ。
声が違うよぉ😊はにゅさん素敵な男性になったよね。あなたはどの世界でも1位になれただろう逸材…いや逸材を超えた人ですよ。
日本人は素晴らしい👏👏👏
この時彼は歯科矯正しているときで歯の裏に矯正器具を付けていました。声の質や舌足らずに思えるのはそのせいもあると思います。
やっぱり羽生さん。貴方は本物です！2022年の五輪を観てまた感動させられました、ありがとう❤心から尊敬しています。
阿部コ―チだ♥️お元気ですか？あの頃は大変でしたね。今でも被災地に寄付をしている羽生さん。こんなに思い続けている人他にいないでしょう。素晴らしい方です💞
今年はもう2021年で震災から10年。彼はまだ現役で世界の頂点にいて被災地に寄り添い続けています。本当に有言実行でブレることなく。宝物。
震災ボランティアとして私は今石巻にいます！あれから１０年たちましたが✨今こそ虚無感のなかにいる方々には必要な癒し❗喜び❗善良さ❗スケートはそれらを全て満たすものと信じます💦そして被災者は羽生選手が同じ被災者でいることに勇気と希望与えられて羽生選手の誰からも好感持たれる天性的なキャラクターに憩います💝私たちは未だ未だ暗いなか光りを見いだしています！
まさに有言実行でしたね。最後の笑顔は、思春期の宝物です💕
ほんとに日本のエースになってるのが凄い
Да,наверно в него мало кто верил)))
А он раз!!!и Легенда)))
有言実行の羽生選手。其れもオリンピック2連覇…そして主要国際大会制覇…スーパースラム達成…数々の記録を塗り替えてきた。３連覇こそならなかったが４Aの認定と北京オリンピックでも沢山の人をくぎ付けにした。エキシビションの春よ来い～素晴らしかった。震災からもうじき11年…羽生選手から何かのメッセージあるかもしれませんね。
羽生さんの演技が他のスケーターと次元が違うのは、震災を経験し色んな事を考え、内面から滲み出る、それこそ神がかったような、ゾーンに入ったようなそのような演技だからではないでしょうか。この頃から４回転ジャンプを演技の一部と話していて、他のスケーターは今だに、長い助走をして飛ぶぞ飛ぶぞで飛んで、飛んだ後も飛びました感満載だけど、羽生さんは難しい入りとランディング後も何事もなかったように、演技を続ける、本当に素晴らしい唯一無二のスケーターです😊
金メダルを目指しながらも、それはあくまで通過点である。とこの頃から４Aへ照準を合わせていたんでしょうね。震災の中で、いえ震災があったからこそ自分にできる事や目標が明確になっていったのだろうと思いました。
金メダル取ってからが始まり。10年後でも震災の傷は癒えてないから支援して行きたいと！
今年で10年。今もトップで現役だよ。凄い人だね😭
羽生選手は何も変わっていない。
この動画をみて、北京での彼はただただ彼だったということが、とても良くわかりました！
4Aが飛べるようになれることを心から祈っています！
10年後の今、羽生選手は
世界中に大きなメッセージを届けてくれてました。
感動をありがとう！
ずっと応援します！
ゆずくんすごい👏16歳で4回転成功なんてすごいびっくりした‼️
辛かっただろうに、偉いなあ、聞いてるだけで、涙が出てきます、ゆずくん偉かったね、これからもおおえんしますらずっと
ホント、ピュアですね～。
可愛い。💝💝💝
言ってることが、10年経った今でもブレてません。
凄い。
そして、今２５歳言ったとうりオリンピック２連覇､選手としてまだまだ活躍しています。
オリンピック終わって見るとフィギュアスケートの情熱❤️🔥を持ち続ける
羽生選手今は、足の治療❤️🩹に専念して欲しいです。
I love Japanese announcers. They always sound so enthusiastic!
被災地は１０年後も傷はいえていないから滑り続ける・・・。涙が出てしまいました。日本では昔から神様に舞いを奉納してきました。彼のスケートもまたそのようなもので、祈りがあり、ほかの人とは全く違いますね。
スターというのは持って生まれた精神性が違うなあ。
努力は、ウソをつく…でもムダにはならない…羽生結弦選手のこの気持ちがあるからここまでやって来れた🌺🌺🌺🌺
I shall crying. 泣いちゃいました‼️
天才もそしてベートーベンも血のにぢむ努力のみだったんだですね‼️
本当にブレない人。リスペクト
大阪とは違い神戸は阪神大震災の被害が最も大きかった場所ですから東日本大震災の被災者がどんなに大変だったか日本で一番わかる場所。だからこそ何か力になれるのではないかとチャリティしようと声があがたんでしょうね。ここは夏はプールになるのでとてもいい時期だった。またスケート関係車では羽生結弦くんのこと知らない人はいないでしょうから絶対に来てほしいと一番説得力のある被災者の羽生くんにオファーがかかったんでしょうね。スケートやめようかと考えてたのに、僅か4週間後にこんな光景が見れて羽生くんには大震災が最初の試練だったでしょうが、試練を力に変えてくれるきっかけとなっていたんですよね。災害は避けて通れませんが、羽生くん本当にもっているものがありますよね。これが夏だったら神戸ではできなかったですから。神戸の大成功が広まり60公演も続き練習もできた。生きていること、スケートできることに感謝し、これをきっかけにスケートは自分のためにだけ滑るのではなく被災者のために、喜んでくれる人のためにも滑ろうと決心され現在も多くの人の勇気と感動を与えてくれています。
しかしこんなに満員でチケット取るのにも大変だったのが分かりますね。
確かに羽生くんの言うとおり当時絶大な人気の高橋大輔、荒川静香を見に来た人が殆どだったと思いますが、ここで羽生くんの演技を見て感動し、間違いなく羽生くんの名を広めた場だったということが分かります。私はフィギュアスケート見るのが昔から大好きで、試合やショーも何回か行ったことあったのですが、まさにこの当時はまだ下の子生後四ヶ月で2時間おきに母乳あげていたし、上の子の幼稚園や習い事送迎で余裕なくいっぱいいっぱいでこういうイベントあるのも知らなかった。近場だったし知ってたら絶対行きたかった。ほんと私は大チャンス逃した。
有言実行の羽生さん
高校生のときランビエールとの出会い、アドバイスを受けていたのね
Hanyu Yuzuru - rewelacyjnie świetny chłopak. Pozdrowienia PL. 31.03.2022. 💕
喋ル声が少年で可愛い
この時歯の裏に矯正していたので、ちょっとたどたどしい話方ででした。それも可愛いですね。😊
質問の受け答えが16歳とは思えない頭の良さ☀
16歳すでに受け答えがしっかりしている｡物怖じしない積極性が今の羽生選手を作ったのかも知れませんね｡
2:24 11 years later, his laugh is the same. I love him ❤️
泪😭😭😭😭
羽生もみなさんも、これからです！
非の打ち所がない美しい4回転ですね。
松岡修造さんとの会話も羽生結弦選手は心開け安心してるように見えました🌺信頼関係かな？
可愛い😍❤️，本当に少年だな〜って感じる，けれどその勇気，強さが半端ない❤️😍😍😍
In the 2022 Winter Olympics, Yuzuru Hanyu skated for his dream. If he hadn't stepped on the ice hole in the short program, he should have a great chance to challenge the 4A success. It can be seen from his recovery training in the figure skating training hall after the game that he is at the top both in terms of competitive state and competitive level! As his fans, we will always support all of his decisions, and as long as he continues to move forward, we look forward to the return of the king. We love you, Yuzu, come on!❤️👍👍👍
インタビュー最後言っていた「でオリンピックで金を狙う、更にそれは終わりではなくはじまりである」という夢が現実となりましたね！16歳でこの拘りと貫禄、プラス思慮深く濃い内容のインタビュー。只者じゃないですよね。私が16歳の頃にインタビューを受けたとしたら後々後悔するような発言の連発だった自信があります。
有言実行です☆
其れも2度のオリンピックチャンピオン❤❤
素晴らしいです👏👏👏
ただ単に飛ぶんじゃなくて、なぜ飛べないのか原因を考えどうしたら飛べるか数式にも表してノートに書いてましたね。凄いわほんと。ほんと努力と才能を持った人です。でもネックレスとか3本もつけて確かに重りになってそう。着けてないと不安になって飛べないのかな。何も考えずやったらもっと飛べるかもしれないのに。でも本人が邪魔じゃないとそういうんだから仕方ない。
何だその「ニッ！」て笑顔www16でコレ。末恐ろしいww
若い頃から美しい氷上の立ち姿から魅了されますニコニコ😃💕
16歳の少年に神は試練を与えたもうた…
言ってることすごいのに！
この歳で分析半端ないのに！
最後のにひひ😁って顔はなんだー！(๑>◡
Thank you for sharing. Yuzuru challenged quad even on the show. I wanna praise his espri.
12:20 عدتها اكثر من عشر مرات كيوت😭🤏🏻
羽生結弦さいこー！！💖
氷上の貴公子💃応援します🎵
wow (12:03) "I want to take home gold at the olympics. That's not my end goal, but I believe it'll be the beginning from there." this kid was SIXTEEN YEARS OLD when he said this. unbelievable.
不思議な少年って言われてるの草
それだけ才能があると言うことです
羽生って結構秘訣？（羽生に限らずどの選手自体そうなの？）とか普通に教えてくれるんだね。ポイント知れるのって練習してる身の人からすればありがたいというか（笑）
高二の自分と同じ時期の羽生結弦さん すごく大人びてみえる
Hi. I am from Miyagi, Japan and below is my translation of the program. I wanted people to learn more about Hanyu and the 2011 disaster.
************
“Advice, please!”
SM (Shuzo Matsuoka: the presenter/narrator of this segment and one of the most popular sport commentators and former national tennis champion)
So, being 4th at Cup of China, so close to the podium, was young Yuzuru Hanyu. So young, only 16 years old. He is said to be the ace skater of the next generation.
And...his biggest weapon is...none other than...one, two, three, the quadruple jumps.
Here at the Grand Prix Series in China, a Japanese supernova is born.
0:49
Yuzuru Hanyu, 16 years old.
His biggest weapon is...
Here is 3L, 3T...Yes! He did it. What a clean finish!
quadruple jumps.
the most difficult of all jumps quadruple jumps.
During the Canadian Grand Prix held in the week before, even Patrick Chan, the current world champion who holds the world record, tried the jump three times and failed twice.
Hanyu, who became the 4th (in COC) with a very small margin between himself and the top three, who is merely in the 2nd year of joining the senior competitions, was the only skater who landed the quad jumps in both SP and FP.
So this new talent in Japan...What kind of athlete is he?
(The interview)
SM and YH: Hello! So nice to meet you!
SM: What is this?
YH: My mother likes power stones, and I myself am quite interested in them.
SM: Wouldn’t they annoy you when you jump a quad?
YH: No, not at all.
SM: But like you have so many on...
YH: No, not for me...Hehehe
SM: What ‘hehehe’?
What a curious young character!
Actually, this is the boy who became last year’s Junior World Figure Skate champion. When asked about quadruple jumps, confident words came out.
YH: Well, Yes. During the practice, the (success) rate has been increasing. Out of ten, I think I can easily land eight of them.
SM: Eight out of ten? Easily?
YH: Yes. I take quad jumps as one part of my artistic expression. I want to land quality quad jumps as part of my total program (choreography).”
MS: How old are you?
YH: I am 16 years old.
MS: How is that possible (to think like that)?
3:11
Last season, he tried 50 jumps in a day, landing only one or two. The success rate was less than 2%.
This season, the rate has increased to an astonishing 80%.
The key behind this remarkable progress is?
YH: “Hmmmm...the moment that you ‘build up’?
SM: ‘the moment of a ‘build up’?
YH: Yes. Just before you take off, there is this point in time when you have to ‘build up’.
Hanyu who has found the moment to ‘build up’...
Oh...what a beautiful jump!
So light!
3:58
So he showed us what it meant:
“So here at this moment...what I feel most is...just before the jump, when I face the front...my whole attention is...right here.”
SM: So it is like a weight holding your body down?”
YH: Well, like a wall or a hand pressed against here...
you could imagine a pole maybe?...
Then that (pole) becomes the axis , and yes, like a pole,
my body rotates around it, then that pole shifts towards
there, left to right.”
So here at this moment, around his left shoulder, he imagines something like a pole, which will then shift towards his right shoulder just before the take off...
He says once he discovered his own ‘build up’ point, his quad jumps became more stable.
5:15
During the journey of developing this technique, however, he had to overcome an enormous adversity.
This is Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture where his homerink is, the place where the Great East Japan Disaster hit on 11 March that year.
Hanyu was in the middle of his skate practice.
SM: So it happened when you were practising skating here?
YH: Yes.
SM: Suddenly?
YH: Yes, very sudden.
SM: So how did it happen? You were on the ice?”
YH: Yes, right now the rink is flat, isn’t it? But (when the quake hit), the ice was undulating its surface. It did not feel like it was ice...The shoe shelves collapsed and skate shoes were flying in the air. What we were seeing was so surreal. Nothing felt normal. I forgot what ‘normality’was.
He lost his practice rink where he has been skating since he was 4 years old. His house was also damaged and he had to stay at the emergency evacuation point.
“During that time*, I could not think of myself as a figure skater or anything. Such an idea became totally irrelevant...What was necessary was just to survive. I just became a bare human being.“
Nanami Abe (Former Coach of YH since he was 10 y.o.): Well, there was no water, no gas, no electricity. No petrol. So just surviving each moment was the priority. We could not think about skating. It just wasn’t the time for anything like that, was it?
YH: First we had to live.
NA: We had to survive.
YH: Well...I thought I may have to give up skating for at least a couple of years.
One month after the disaster, Hanyu came across a turning point.
“At the beginning of April, I was invited to perform at a charity ice show in Kobe.”
On 9 April, Japan’s top figure skaters such as Daisuke Takahashi, Shizuka Arakawa etc gathered in Kobe for a charity ice show in support of the disaster recovery efforts.
“(Announcement) four weeks since the disaster, I, Yuzuru Hanyu, am so grateful for this opportunity to be able to stand up and perform in front of you in Kobe, the city that had to overcome devastations of the 1995 disaster.”
(Hanyu performs the Swan program)
I just had to deliver my very best performance I could offer. I wanted to express every part of what I was right at that moment.
8:43
Hanyu received the biggest applause on the day.
“Not everyone was there to see me, but after seeing my performance, there were people who were moved to tears. There were those who stood up and gave me applause. I was so happy to receive such huge applause for what I did with my utmost effort. And it made me feel that maybe there is not any other sport that could move the audience so much.”
That was the moment Hanyu decided to continue figure skating.
9:31
After this, invitations for Hanyu to participate in charity ice shows arrived from all over Japan. In the end he participated in 60 shows in the next six months.
Hanyu decided to tackle this tight schedule positively.
First of all, as he no longer had his practice rink, he would arrive at the show venue early and used the rink for his practice.
He then did one more thing to include quad jumps in his show performances.
Takeshi Honda (also from Sendai and world championship Bronze medalist), says it is very rare for a skater to include quad jumps in show programs.
During show performances, spotlights are your only guide. Your sense of distance, rhythm...they change...even the feel during the jump affects your skating and makes it very difficult. Therefore, not many skaters would try. But Hanyu was trying that all the time this year. And his landing rate was astonishing.
10:55
Hanyu also had an unexpected encounter meeting Stephane Lambiel, a quad jumper and former World Champinon. So the brave young Hanyu went directly to Stephane to seek for advice on his quad jumps.
SM: What? That Lambiel? He is like God of figure skating, isn’t he? Wow!
YH: Hehehe...
SM: So let’s say I am Lambiel.., how did you approach?
YH: Oh no. I am so embarrassed to say...
SM: No no no...just...roughly..?
YH: well...I think it was just like...Advice, please...ish?
11:30
Despite the devastation of the disaster, and facing so many challenges, Hanyu kept moving forward and refined his quad skills.
So that was how he gained his ‘moment to ‘build up’ this season.
Right now, Hanyu has a future vision.
SM: What is your dream?
YH: I want to get gold medal at the Olympics.
But that is not the goal. It will be my starting point.
SM: ...How old did you say you are now?
YH: I am 16 years old.
SM: Oh well...No one can resist supporting you, then.
YH: Hehe
12:23
SM:
Well truly, you just cannot resist him, can you?
He said getting Olympic gold was his beginning. So I asked what would follow. He said, “even in ten years, the wounds of the disaster would not have been healed. That is why I want to keep skating and give them support”. He has a ten year vision. Talking to him made me realise he is such an independent human being. A person who has clear ideas. I cannot believe this person is just 16 years old.
Ichiro Furutachi (the anchor) : Well, so he had to experience the disaster. His suffering must have been enormous. But ‘thankfully’ he is able to keep skating, and for those people who will be fighting against such enormous challenges long into the future, he has a strong conviction to dedicate himself to their recovery effort.
SM: Yes, he knows himself. As for the quadruple jumps, most other athletes I have met could not really explain the technique they used to say “we just jump.” But Hanyu can describe his technique so articulately.
IF: So the shifting ‘pole’, he says?
SM: Yes. He says as long as he sees the red pole clearly, he can land his quad jumps. Even when he is not 100%, he would know what needs to be done to correct his techniques. And yet, he is just 16 years old...
IF: Yes, when he lands his jumps, the reach of his arms is so impressive, isn’t it?
Female announcer: Yes, his arms and legs are so long!
SM: So you said that yourself, Mr Furutachi, didn’t you, thatThis athlete was unlike anyone else.
IF: well, I don’t know much (about figure skating)but he really made an impression, didn’t he? So exciting to see his future!
*On March 11 2011, a Magnitude 9 earthquake and the consequent mega tsunamis killed almost 20,000 people in Tohoku and Kanto areas along the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan. It was at the end of this season that the young Hanyu performed his Romeo and Juliette program and won Bronze at 2012 World Championship.
@@hbattagl im so glad to finally understand what they said... thank you so much!!
Hanyu really have 10 years vision that i believe already realize one by one.. i think he could be a great technique coach for Japanese skaters in the future.
Once again, thank you so much!

He said he wanted to get the gold medal at Olympics and that would be the beginning.
He supposed the damages of the Tohoku earthquake would have not be healed even after 10 years, so he thought the winning the Olympics was gonna be the beginning to support for restoration of the disaster.
@@mocopon2 Thank you so much for translation, Yuzuru is so amazing man.
