Riri 4,384 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Welcome to Legend Hanyu Yuzuru Official Thread! A place where we worship the God of figure skating himself. Yuzuru Hanyu is a 2 time Olympics champion figure skater. He was born in Sendai, Japan on December 7th 1994. He began skating at the age of 4 alongside his sister Saya who later on will abandon her passion for her little brother to continue skating. His figure skating idol growing up was Evgeni Plushenko. His name means "a bowstring which is pulled tight", symbolizing confidence, strength, and straightness. His father named him, wishing him to be as hardworking, with a strong mind. His parents wanted him to live a simple life, but be dignified, powerful and graceful. Hanyu has severe asthma, and can often be seen heavily catching his breath after finishing his programs. As of 2014, he is a student at Waseda University's e-School program, studying human informatics and cognitive sciences. He is fond of Winnie the Pooh and is frequently given stuffed Pooh bears as gifts by spectators after finishing his programs. Hanyu was skating at his home rink in Sendai when the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami struck his hometown and the region. Since the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami, Hanyu has been an active spokesperson and supporter for various campaigns to help the earthquake victims, as he himself was directly affected by the disaster In the 2014-2015 Season he had a collision with skater Yan Han while on ice provoking different injuries. 7 February 2020 111.82 2020 Four Continents Championships Current world record. 16 November 2018 110.53 2018 Rostelecom Cup 3 November 2018 106.69 2018 Grand Prix of Helsinki 23 March 2019 206.10 2019 World Championships First skater to score above 200, broken by Nathan Chen. 4 November 2018 190.43 2018 Grand Prix of Helsinki 23 March 2019 300.97 2019 World Championships First skater to score above 300, broken by Nathan Chen. 4 November 2018 297.12 2018 Grand Prix of Helsinki People's Honour Award Awarded in 2018 Japan Medals of Honor Purple Ribbon (2014, 2018) Japanese Olympic Committee JOC Sports Award - Newcomer Award (2009) Best Award (2013) Special Achievement Award (2015) Special Honor Award (2018) Olympic Special Award (2014, 2018) Japan Skating Federation JOC Cup (Most Valuable Player Award) (2013,2014,2016,2018) Media and Municipality Awards Asahi Shimbun: Asahi Sports Award (2014) Business Insider: "Most Dominant Athletes Alive" (#33 in 2014, #21 in 2015) Chunichi Shimbun: 29th "Chunichi Sports Award" (2015) ESPN: "World Fame 100" #70 in 2018 Forbes: 30 Under 30 Asia 2018 Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association: "Happy News Person Award" (2018) Kahoku Shinpo: 64th "Hebei Cultural Award" (2014) Mainichi Shimbun: 22nd "Daily Sports People Award" Grand Prix (2014) Sports Graphic Number: 33rd "MVP Award" (2014) Tohoku Sports Press Club: Sports Award (2011, 2014, 2015,2016, 2018) Tokyo Sports Press Club: Special Award (2012), Skater of the Year (2014, 2015,2018) TV Asahi: "Big Sports Awards" (2014,2015,2016,2017) Yahoo!

jeong jaehyuns boyfriend 10,627 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I just finished catching up with olympic events after I missed a week of it due to school, and this guy was amazing. I was rooting for Pat because you know, Canada ftw but Yuzuru's program was really great. If people are curious as to how Yuzuru was scored over Patrick, this article goes in depth with scoring mechanisms and playback gifs: http://www.thewire.com/culture/2014/02/how-yuzuru-hanyu-and-patrick-chan-destroyed-olympic-mens-figure-skating-competition/358089/ My question is - why does that random Pooh bear show up everywhere?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siriithao 273 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Hanyu is one of the few skaters who skate so gracefully and it´s like he´s doing magic on ice. Whenever I see him I really get mesmerized by his movement and the emotion he showcase. Edited February 22, 2014 by siriithao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
