This blog talks about how many times the key word “Hanyu Yuzuru” is searched on google in Japan. (Yuzu received the award for “the most searched name of the year” before.)
First, it shows the data on other celebrities such as a pop group star and an actress. They are searched roughly 500.000 times/month.
Hanyu Yuzuru 4 million times in Feb. 2014
During the GPF, the nationals, and the worlds, which last only a couple of days per time, he is searched over 1.250.000 times each in the respective months!
Even during the off-season, when he hardly appears on TV, there are constantly 300.000~700.000 searches for him.
They said it's 3 quads. So... Yeah... And the music is so hard to do. I wonder if judges will like it. But this is something no one has ever done... At least he has a good costume.He is so ambitious, it's crazy . . .

Yeah, his commitment to all of his programs is top of the top. He is serious in all his choices. More photos, I love this costume so much: http://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/1491478.htmlI think it'll be brilliant. I have faith in our boy.

it's not just about the scores,” Hanyu quickly added. “I consider the score as a bonus when I skate well. I am not doing difficult things in order to get a high score, but to grow myself.”
It interesting that so many of the Japanese skaters continue their education concurrently with skating, compared to skaters in the U.S. who more commonly defer their university studies or only take a part-time course load.According to this news: http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20150601-00000043-dal-spo
Yuzuru's college schedule is very tight. He studies till midnight. Due to so many events, training and college schedule, Yuzuru sleeps only 4 hours per day sometimes.
Latest interview: http://www.goldenskate.com/2015/06/yuzuru-hanyu-2/
I am kind of worried because of his layout which might be:Thanks for this article. I love how unsatisfied he is with the World silver medal.
I do worry a bit about him attempting 3 quads in the long. It's so incredibly difficult, mentally as well as physically. We've seen Javi and Kovtun try this many times and not succeed very often.. I'd kind of rather see Yuzu focus on getting more consistent with 2-quad LPs and just having a steady, no-drama, successful season next year. But OTOH, I love his ambition .....
I dont know why he is doing that. He doesnt need it to win at all, and he is begging for inconsistency and injury..
Yup. After all Hanyu is crazily competitive in nature. He doesn't like being left behind in the quad battle. If Hanyu were as healthy and genetically strong as, let's say, Javi, he might have gone for 4 quads.Well. Here's the thing: He doesn't need it NOW. But who knows by 2018?
Not upping the tech cost Patrick Chan the olympic gold. Denis Ten might add another quad to his repertoire, Javi might stabilize his 3 quad layout and gain bigger PCS, Boyang Jin has 3 seasons to emerge as a major threat. The competition does not sleep, they're going to get better.
Besides, it seems to me that Hanyu does it because he genuinely loves jumps and perhaps want to be remembered as an extraordinary jumper. I wouldn't be surprised if his final goal for 2018 was including 3 different quads: 4T, 4S, 4Lo. Just for the satisfaction of having done that.

Actually, I remember in an interview, he specifically said that he doesn't particularly need to be the first to do something - in particular, I remember he specifically said that he won't put the 4Lo in his program just so that he can be the "first".I believe he also said before that he wants to be the first to have done something - like being the first to land the 4Lo. It's just his personality.
Actually, I'm just happy the 4A doesn't seem to be a goal (maybe, or something...)
"Yuzuru the boxer" doesn't look very convincing.Today is Olympic Day! (23 June) International Olympics Committee annually invites some of young top athletes to play another sport besides their expertise to promote "Olympics spirits" and the appeal of sports around the world.
On Olympic Day, the theme is "regardless of age or ability, enjoy more sports with no timidity."
This year, figure skater Yuzu (20 y/o) is invited to play boxing along with other athletes trying out other sports.
According to NHK sports news, IOC invited Yuzu to this event because of Tokyo will be holding 2020 summer Olympics and he is the gold medalist of Sochi Olympics.

I know right. IOC has chosen the wrong sport for him. Why not something like swimming."Yuzuru the boxer" doesn't look very convincing.
Well, I guess it could have been worse. Better than weightlifting.I know right. IOC has chosen the wrong sport for him. Why not something like swimming.
